Master box have various series of figures that have themes unrelated to history, film or TV series.  The Desert Battle series is a dystopian future (aren’t they all?) that’s not too far away, and based more than a little on the facts of today.  A climate crisis happens in 2023 and throws the world into disarray on a global basis.  Better get stocking up on kayaks and rubber duckies.  If you check Master Box’s website, there are a number of individual figures being released (you can see them in the instructions), plus a few boxed sets to fuel your fevered dreams and fill your dioramas.  They’d look equally at home in any slightly futuristic, slightly dystopian setting, so if you read the back-story on the back of the box, which you should be able to read below, and it doesn’t suit you, check over the figure in isolation instead and judge for yourself where you can use her and what her backstory is.

 

 

The figure arrives in an oversized end-opening figure box, with a single narrow sprue inside, and instructions and back-story on the rear of the box.  It depicts a woman in hiking boots and civilian clothing, wearing a knitted beanie and carrying her whole life on her back, a her overcoat tied round her waist, and big pump shotgun in both hands, with a bandana of ammunition diagonally around her torso.  As usual, the sculpting is first rate and the recent nature of the tool shows in the detail, with the figure broken down into head, torso, arms, legs, personal gear, and separate sections of long hair flowing over her shoulders, with a choice of shotguns that have differing stocks and barrel lengths.

 

Painting of the figure is entirely up to you, as in the dystopian future you can wear what you want.  The box art gives you some useful clues however, and the addition of the hair sections and her coat arms and tail draping down over her legs give additional depth to the figure.

 

 

Conclusion

An interesting and well-sculpted figure for you to use and abuse as you see fit.  Build her as a stand-alone model or as part of a diorama with or without others of the series.

 

Recommended.
