The molding on the 1.5 inch Lillymon figure is quite nice, it is very accurate and
proportional when compared with the TV show. The figure is molded in a hang
ten pose with the arms stretched out to the sides and the legs far apart in a sort
of hunching stance. There is a leaf connector between the feet to help stand
the figure and to help hold it to the skateboard with the finger bindings. While
the the molding is good, the paint job on the figure is average at best. The paint
job does make the figure look like Lillymon, but there are numerous deficiencies in it
that take away from the final product. First, there are are several unpainted
details, such as the leaves on Lillymons chest. Second, there are several stray
paint marks on the figure I am looking at. Finally, there are two different shades
of pink used on Lillymon, but there is not enough contrast between the two to make the
figure look like its television counterpart.
Also, the finger board is quite nice.
The top of the finger board is covered with a rough black material with a white Digimon
logo emblazened on it. The bottom of it features a picture of Lillymons card
game art and her Digimon number (# 78). The finger board has translucent blue wheels
on it and will roll a few feet if given enough force.
The finger board is quite large in comparison to Lillymon, but I imagine this is for
stability purposes. Without the finger bindings, Lillymon will remain on the finger
board if you push it along gently. With the addition of the finger bindings,
Lillymon can be securely attached to the finger board, allowing more leadway when playing
with the figure. The bindings themselves are blue and are made of a flexible
plastic. It can take a moment to hook them to Lillymon and to the skateboard.
Additionally, this package includes a display stand that the skateboard can lean on.
The stand is quite sturdy and displays the board quite well.

Finally, there is a small metal ring attached to the back of Lillymons head that
you can use to hook to the included key-chain. The figure will remain on the
keychain quite well, even while spinning it around your finger. For the price of $5,
this package is a good deal. You get a fairly nice finger board with a display
stand and an accurate figure representation of Lillymon. I personally just like to
display the package, but it is also makes a very good toy.
Recommendation: If you see it in stores, go ahead and buy it!
This package was released fairly early in 2000 and it is becoming quite rare to
see it in stores. It really is a good deal at $5, and you wont regret getting
it if you are a Lillymon fan. |
