Review 1: OE (original effect) 1/6 scale killer instinct SAM 13-inch female action figure

Backstory by OE (original effect) on their “killer instinct” series:
In the near future, the world becomes more turbulent. The first style of the series Teacher Sam with heavy bomb possesses powerful mechanical arms and the fire bomb with surprisingly large caliber. She has the power to destroy one city.

This is the recently released OE (original effect) 1/6 scale killer instinct SAM 13-inch female action figure. I had first mentioned it in my toy blog post "First Haul of 2014" HERE and finally found the time to take pictures and post my first review :)


OE (original effect) 1/6 scale killer instinct SAM comes with the following: 1/6 scale SAM female head sculpt x 2, 13-inch Woman body, White swimsuit, Green working pirate shorts, Yellow working boots, Orange scarf with iron wire around the edges for posing, Special bullet waist belt, Special bullet x 6, Mechanical arm, Alternative arm, Bare hands x 2, Leg protector. Scroll down to see pictures of the packaging and the contents.



OE (original effect) first previewed Killer Instinct SAM with one head sculpt (see pictures HERE) and then added a second version SAM head sculpt not too long after. This resulted in mixed responses with some preferring the first over the second and vice versa. In the end, OE decided to just include both female head sculpts for customers / collectors to choose which one they prefer to pose Killer Instinct SAM with. I don't mind that at all :)


Also included: a Original Effect Killer Instinct SAM 101 poster (shown below) 


And a A4 size flyer showing the preview / prototype pictures as well as some comic illustration. Original Effect Army Attractive series 1/6 scale Viola 13.5-inch female action figure also came with a comic, Army Attractive Vol.1 (check out the review and pictures HERE)


Check out these close-up pictures of the OE (original effect) 1/6 scale killer instinct SAM head sculpt (one of two). This was the first head sculpt previewed and comes attached to the body.

OE (original effect) has certainly improved on their female body. My first experience with OE's first female body was terrible - the limbs were loose and her entire legs (both of them) just keep popping out and it was really hard to pose her and get her to stand. See my earlier review HERE of the Original Effect (OE) Army Attractive series 1/6 Viola 13.5-inch female action figure.


This new female body by OE (original effect) is so much better with tighter joints. She was easy to handle and pose, and managed to stand upright even though she appeared to be TOP heavy (not just because of the large bust size but also the additional weight of the Mechanical arm).


The Orange scarf with iron wire around the edges for posing is a little weird looking especially from the back and the white swimsuit isn't exactly snow white as it has been weathered to have the used and dirty look, as is the rest of her wardrobe (green pants cut off at the calves with leather reinforcements at the knees and yellow construction worker type safety boots). By the way, who wears swimsuits cut so high it looks like it's just hanging off her big boobies?


OE (original effect) 1/6 scale killer instinct SAM also has a Special bullet waist belt for her Special bullet x 6


Here's a close-up shot / picture of SAM's Mechanical arm which is attached to her upper arm via a peg


Another view of the mechanical arm plus closer look at her green pants and yellow construction style boots


OE (original effect) killer instinct SAM 13-inch female action figure's 1/6 scale accessories: lots of spare parts / additional joints plus alternate right forearm, six special bullets, alternate SAM female head sculpt and a right hand. A shawl (for lack of a better word) is also included. This is meant to be loosely worn over the shoulders, upper body and arms.

You know, I was looking at this awhile back, very interesting, and unique. What makes this stand out is first it's unfamiliar, not an Ironman, and is a RARE female offering. (As I'm typing I received a hugh box of goodies, "Haul Style" Lol). Unfortunately, with companies such as Sideshow and especially Hot Toys dominating the market, and commanding most if not ALL of the majority of collector's attention and finances figures such as these are overlooked, which I am guilty of.

This looks REALLY unique and cool....and in 4-5 years when shes no longer available the regret will grab you by the neck like that claw!

Looks really cool. The swimsuit could have been a bit better I think, but the headsculpts look great.

Joints work as she's supposed to be a cyborg, imho.

Can't wait to see part II of this review, Alex!
