This may be a first – an anime-styled version of an American-created comic-book heroine who’s less objectified than the original. Fully zipped up so as not to show cleavage, Natasha comes with more intricate battle armor, as is the norm for Play Arts Kai interpretations, and articulation that actually seems designed for action poses rather than erotic ones.
I don’t know that the Thompson Twins haircut is an improvement, though. Unless it’s designed to catch people off guard and not take her seriously.

As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A.
