A couple months ago, I picked up the C. Viper action figure (pictured above), made by Neco. I have so many figures of Cammy, I felt it time to begin building a collection of the new hotness. While there are plenty of nit-picks to be made for Neco’s Street Fighter IV figure line, I’d say it’s not a bad first rendering of her.

Though I do have one complaint…

You see, they gave C. Viper about 27 points of articulation; enough to make her super-posable. She even comes with extra sets of hands, which is great. Despite that, one flaw has kept me rather restricted in how I can actually pose her and still look impressive.

Traditionally, action figures of males are given what’s called a “T-cut” crotch. This gives them a masculine look with emphasis on their package. As a result, male figures an usually only bend their legs directly forward and back. Female figures, on the other hand, are usually given “V-cut” crotches, which provide a more feminine look. It also makes it so that female figures bend so that they can only sit while fully spread eagle.

To give C. Viper her awesome articulation, they tried to give her both crotch cuts. This doesn’t sound too bad until you actually see their handiwork:

That’s right… When C. Viper is crouching, squatting, or anything that involves her legs parting, it exposes her gigantic drooping labia. As a medical condition, this only occurs for women who have recently given birth, though this case suggests that C. Viper may be in competition with the Octomom.

It’s okay, Crimson, baby… You’re still my new hotness.
