Tauriel is a creation of the Hobbit Trilogy films with no real counterpart in the books and as a bad ass elf she was played by the lovely Evangeline Lilly.

Asmus has been producing a line of sixth scale action figures based on both trilogies, and this release is a figure based on the butt kicking pointy eared warrior.

Unfortunately, something happened to poor Tauriel. Since even if her twisted face was a perfect Lilly as Tauriel likeness, it would still look like she had suffered a mild stroke. But take away the weird shape and you still don t get a great reproduction of the actress or character. The cheeks are too pronounced, or you can say the eyes are too deep set. Either way, the result is the same. The eyes end up too deep, the chin too far forward. Likewise, the down turned mouth makes her sad, not determined, and the end result is a miss in the third category as well.

There are 7 hands in total: the two relaxed pose she comes wearing, two tight grips, two gun grips, and a special bowstring pulling right.

The tight grips work best with the daggers, but have trouble with the larger bow. The gun grips might work better with the bow, but don t really look right. Putting the tighter grips on the bow tends to stretch them out, making it harder to hold the daggers. It is a conundrum.

And yes, there is a nice assortment of weapons for the warrior elf. She has her special bow, sculpted nicely and with the working bowstring. There are five arrows as well, and these can be carried in her unique quiver. This quiver fits on the back of her belt, more like a sword sheath, and there IS a sword-like large dagger that also fits inside. You can t get all five arrows and the dagger in there at once, but I did manage at least three, and it looks great when you get it all put together in place.

Take some care putting the quiver in place. You must remove the belt, and then remove the small leather pouch that they have initially on the left side. The quiver goes on the left (you have to thread it all the way around, since the clip on the back is not large enough to allow the buckle to pass through), and you put the pouch back on the right instead.

The large dagger, as well as her two smaller fighting daggers, are made from solid metal, handles and blades. They have some heft, but the body is tight enough to allow her to keep them aloft in just about any arm pose.

The articulation also allows for great bow-shooting poses.
