			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://awesometoyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/claire-sma.jpg"></a>From the hit NBC series Heroes, comes this new line of figures from Mezco toys.  Series 1 of the line includes Claire Bennet, Peter Petrelli, Dr. Suresh, Hiro and Sylar.  I picked up Claire on a recent trip to Toys R Us for $14.99.   For you variant hunters, there is a toys r us exclusive version of Claire which is available online.</p>
<p>Packaging: </p>
<p>Claire comes packaged in a clamshell along with an extra injured head and arm.  Also included is a small poster of Heroes art.  Break out your scissors to get this one open!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-6" title="Claire in package" src="http://awesometoyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dscf0454-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left;" src="http://awesometoyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/claire-sma.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="484" />Sculpt &amp; Paint:</p>
<p><a href="http://awesometoyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/claire.jpg"></a>The figure itself is about 6 inches tall.   The body, while well sculpted, features limited articulation, with a jointed waist, swivel thighs, ball jointed shoulders, cut elbows and some limited neck movement.   Claire has essentially one pose, with her hands on her hips&#8230;any other poses just look a bit silly.   The likeness is good, however the injured head looks more like Hayden Panettiere than the normal head.  The normal head looks more like Jewel.</p>
<p>The paint applications are neat and clean.  No complaints here.</p>
<p>Accessories:</p>
<p>The Heroes artwork is nothing particularly special.  Nor is the damaged arm.  Because of the limited poses that work for this figure, the arm isn&#8217;t something I see keeping on the figure.  The second head however, is the shining star of the accesories.  Like I said above, it is a dead ringer for Hayden.</p>
<p>Overall:</p>
<p>For fans of the show, this figure is a must.  If you&#8217;re not a big fan of the show, the $14.99 price tag is a bit hard to swallow for what you get. </p>
