![]() ![]() Medusa had heel-spikes, CHell has jump-boots shapes like women's dress shoes. She's got a t-shirt on, an undershirt beneath the t-shirt, her jumpsuit pants, sweat pants beneath the jumpsuit pants, her jumpsuit top tied around her waist like a sweater (maybe it's a hot day?), and those odd springy boots of hers - it's kind of silly how women are forced to stand on point, come to think of it. She has hips! HIPS! Her body isn't shaped 100% like a strange supermodel! This is AWESOME! Sure, she's a little buxom, but it's the realistic kind, and not bad at all. Her body is also well-done - the texturing on her clothes is fantastic, with wrinkles where there should be wrinkles, and texturing where there should be texturing. ![]() And seeing as how Chell clearly doesn't have any access to a stylist in Aperture Labs, it doesn't look very fancy. She wants to have some hair length for when she's in public, but she also doesn't want it getting in the way in the lab. ![]() her hair is also fine - it looks like a realistic, sensible ponytail. overall I have to say it's one of the best female faces I've seen on a toy in this price range, so I'm not complaining. Depending on the angle, she'll either look great or kind of goofy, and you might not want to go over her with a magnifying glass. I feel that only Klan members would watch the Last Airbender movie. I don't think that Halle Berry should call herself black. I railed against Star Trek Into Darkness's whitewashing of (SPOILER) until I was shaking with apoplexy. But seriously, the "racist" accusations were because she looks too "white" for some people. So she fits into that "vaguely brown" category of really beautiful women who won't make white people feel weird! Kudos to NECA for making the packaging a major part of her play value!Ĭhell's physical appearance is based on actress Alesia Glidewell, who is half-Japanese, one-quarter Brazilian, and one-quarter. But if you get creative, like I did, you can do a lot with them - and they're just a really awesome feature. Never, EVER let GLaDOS write your character bios.īut anyway, the big thing about this is that it has PORTALS! Chell doesn't come with portal accessories, but that paper insert has red AND blue portals to sorta-kinda pose her with! Though there's text in the way. Luckily, we were able to talk to one of Chell's former coworkers, who assured us that she was Chell's "closest - well, why beat around the bush - only friend." When asked for three words that best describe Chell, our anonymous source decided on 'monster' 'uncaring monster' and 'generously-proportioned monster.'" "Quiet and resourceful, Chell remains one of Aperture's most secretive and mysterious test subjects. how did they do with this seriously fan-demanded lady? Let's find out!Ĭhell is packed in a full clamshell - that's not a cardboard backing, it's a paper slip. That, and one issue with the accessories that I'll get to later. Rather than make a version of Chell from the first game, they opted for the second - the only real difference is that she's got a t-shirt, and her jumpsuit top is tied around her waist like a jacket. Her only resources are her knee-replacement spring boots and a portal gun, so the game's kind of like a big puzzle. It's the Internet Meme Game! She's a test subject for Aperture Laboratories, and there's a lot of other complex stuff in there, but suffice to say that things aren't the way they seem, and she's at the mercy of GLaDOS, an AI so crazy that HAL looks quiet in comparison. You know, the one with the companion cube and Still Alive and The Cake is A Lie. Chell is your Silent Protagonist of the extremely popular Portal games. and some people STILL call it racist!Īnyway.
