I Am Elemental - Courage


Now, this is something a little different: a small company that kickstarted in 2014 with the goal of creating a dynamic, more realistic body proportioned female action figure. I Am Elemental is a group based in New York has received several awards as well as hints of movie deals for their action figure line.

I had seen a few other reviewers with these and with my desire to find a female action figure, ordered Courage (who also came with a Buy One, Donate one figure to a childhood cancer patient, so it was for a nice cause). The figures are inspired by female heroines in history, and this one is inspired by Joan of Arc.

I am really pleased with how well they executed this figure, and aside armour pieces and extras, this seems to be the basic mould for all the female figures. All the figures feature a less sexualized bust to hip ratio and more proportional legs. The figures also have WAY better articulation and yes, they FINALLY made a female figure at this price point that has very good diaphragm articulation.
