SHERRY BIRKIN & WILLIAM G-2

 One of the elements that disturb me the most in Resident Evil 2 was the Brikins. Seen the little Sherry runing around and hidding from her demented and deformed father in order to escape him impregnate her with his offspring was really offseting and very different to the more classic zombie horror from the first game, it was very Aliens (tough is well known that Sherry was actually based on Knewt).

ToyBiz captured all this with the third two pack from theyr "Videogame Super Star" line based on Resident Evil 2 Platinum, the PC port of the game. Sherry Brikin and Willaim G-2, daugther and father transformed into an actual boss, this was the second boss in the Resident Evil line and he wasnt alone this time.

Sherry is tiny, like super small....Claire and the rest are small figure but Sherry is in perfect escale with them soo she is super tiny and can stand on her own perfectly. She is articulated on the neck, shoulders and legs with cut joitns, soo she only can mode her arms forward and backward and is almost a statue. She has no action frature just like Ada.

Her legs are sculpted twisting and her pendant with the G-virus sample is also sculpted moving at the side, perhaps giving her ain air of doubt, she is turning around. Her face esculpt have a really concerned sculpt on her eyes and the paint work here is excelent, just like Claire, her lips and blue eyes are perfectly painted and much better than modern figures (Tygra from Super 7....).

The color on her sailor outfit is just white and deep blues, pretty simple and strong colors but enough for such a small figure like her and theres not much to say about her, she fits the whole collection pretty good and is really cool to have her in display being protected by Claire. Also, this is pretty much the only figure that exists of Sherry, another important factor in this.

Her father William Birkin on his G-2 form is really big, taller than Ivy but smaller than his G-3 form and can stand on his own perfectly. He is articulated on the shoulders, elbows, waist and legs, all cut joints except his smaller arm that have a ball joint on the shoulder. Not much movement freedom really but i dont think we can ask for more given the nature of the character.

The sculpt is stuning!! Soo full of details and textures, with the flesh ripping apart in front and his back and revealing all muscle tissue, muscle tissue opening and revealing bones, everything full of sculpted veins and other imposible to identify fleshy tissue growing around. I wish his claw was sharper but adide of that this sculpt is really perfect.

The paint have the same quality of diverse detailing, with some flesh opening - like on his stomach - having whiter tones to give an impression of dead skin, while other sections having a brown coloration to look like already stablished new flesh. The blue and red veins around the muscle tissue, the sirty pants ripping apart, this is as beautfull ad Ivy.

No accesorys at all but the action feature consist on a level on the back of William G-2 giant arm, move it and his giant eye move as well. The giant eye sculpt is amazing, full of veins and made with soft plastic in a vibrant orange and covered in a trnasluscent plastic to give it a....weet look, like the eye is covered in slime.

The action feature is a nice touch but even without it, this two figures looks soo good together and alone, specially William G-2, since even in 2023 i seen him being sold at very high prices under the Moby Dick Tiys label, he looks this good even for ToyBiz standars.
