Cure Peace
Front -> Back -> Right -> Left -> Top
As usual, amazing packaging. Peace looks adorable, couldn't get any better!
Packaging Score: 5/5
Let's take a look at the figure!
(Not
including basic pairs) Peace has 3 pairs of hands, a hand for the smile pact, 3
expressions, and the handy dandy neck joint. As tradition goes, she also has her branded stand.
Peace has so many hands! Or so you would think. Two of them are pretty similar in nature, and the extra is to hold the smile pact. The illusion of more hands is there, but in reality it's around the same as Happy, albeit excluding Candy. Really wish these figures would include some more "attack"-esque accessories. Maybe two hands that had a lightning-yellow bolt in them, or something.
Accessory Score: 3/5
Now sadly, we must venture into the down-side of this otherwise beautiful figure. Peace's overall sculpt is very detailed and accurate, you really can feel the respective "adorable" vibes that you get from the show counterpart. However, Bandai has struck again with solid PVC hair. What makes it even worse is that it's detachable, meaning it can (and will) fall off at any given moment you're attempting to pose Peace. The stand can hardly hold her up and takes the most effort I've ever had to use getting weight balance just right. Without the hair, you can get her into a range of poses, but once you add that ponytail it's game-over for your articulation.
As aforementioned, Peace is entirely accurate to her show counterpart and is perhaps the most accurate out of the Smile cures.
Sculpt Score: 4/5
Articulation Score: 2/5
Accuracy Score: 5/5
Peace looks great on paper and sounds great on paper, but in practice she was botched the house. I really didn't want her to be as difficult to work with as she is, and I'm mortified if I try too hard I'll break her. This won't affect my score, but my Peace's wrist joints are additionally very difficult to fit into her hands; really disappointed.
