Non Scale Dwarf - Lineage II by Orchid Seed review
Hello everyone today I will review a cute little Dwarf, no grumpy bearded one, like in Lord of the Rings it is a female one with a fancy looking dress. Dwarf was manufactured by Orchid Seed she got delayed in December and so her release date was in January 2011.
She is descried as a Non scaled figure, her size is around 210 mm, which gives her the appearance of a 1/8 scaled figure.
The origin of Dwarf is the Lineage II MMOPRG, her name sounds not very lovely. I guess its just the name of her battle class. This time I can’t provide much background informations about her origin, I’ve never played this Game and never felt the urge to do so.
In the Game you have a lot of freedom to design your character, so I don’t know why they made Dwarf look like this, the main characteristics of the Dwarf battle class are the twintail hairstyle, the cute face an the quite short legs in comparison to other battle classes. In the Game her sweet dress is called formal wear and you can get it in a quest of the game.
Unfortunately that were all the infos I could gather about her in the Game, so from now on I will focus on giving you my thoughts about her sculpt and on her outfit
Hair
Dwarf has beautiful dark pink colored hair with a cute twintail hairstyle. There are two colored metallic cone like hair attires at them, another detail of her hairstyle are the two long strands at the sides of her bangs wich are framing her face. The flow her hair as well as the strands are very well detailed and cleanly sculpted, hidden behind her bangs you can see her thin dark pink eyebrows.

Face
Now to the eyes, they are matte coloured but the paintjob lets them appear deep and shiny.
Her big round eyes are looking great and give Dwarf a very lively and lovely expression.
Then comes the cute snub nose and the light blush marks at her cheeks.
I don’t like figures with wide open mouths very much, even though Im owning quite a few ;D

Outfit
The outfit of Dwarf appears like a mix of a wedding dress and a ballerina outfit it has frilly straps and oval bulky skirt part. The top which covers her delicate chest and her belly has a light pink colortone while the rest of her dress; with exception of her underskirt everything has a cream white color and a nacre shining effect to it which resembles silk cloth a bit, it has nice details, like seam lines indentations and so on. The underskirt is white but semi transparent and has some small ornaments printed on it. To match the look of the whole outfit Dwarf also wears armlong gloves. To add more playfulness to her dress, a lot of pink ribbons have been used, my favorite ribbon is the big one at her neck.
Body
The body of Dwarf looks attractive; well she doesn’t show much skin, but the places where she shows skin look really nice, at the front you have her pretty collarbones and at the backside.
You can see her pretty back with the nice shoulder blades, haha I sound like Im drooling XD

Accesoires
Dwarf appears very girly and cute, but she’s not defenceless because Orchid Seed equipped her with a mighty looking bow, it is silver, silver-gold and gold colored the detailed sculpted slots are looking very good, the bow isn’t colored too shiny, otherwise it would mismatch with Dwarfs outfit. The bow can be divided in two parts, so you can put it in Dwarfs hand. In Dwarfs box you can also find a metal rod arrow with an heart shaped head. It is supposed to be put between Dwarfs index finger and the middle finger
dwarf castoff
If you think that her light pink colored harem pants (I know that sounds ridiculous, but these pants are really named likes this) look silly. Orchid Seed provided a cast-off option; under her harem pants you can see white, scanty cutted and frilly panties. When casted off you can also see her nice legs and her buttocks are a little bit exposed. As long as you don’t flip her over or look from a very low angle you can’t see her panties, but the exposed legs add a different look to Dwarf so I think this cast-off feature is useful.
Base
Dwarfs base looks like the garnishment of a wedding cake, but you can’t eat it of course.
It is mainly made of transparent plastic, with heart shaped ornaments and some gem shaped transparent parts on it, as I had her on my desk it was fun to be able to rotate the figure with on finger. Dwarf is attached to the base with one leg; she is well balanced and has comparative short and sturdy legs so the possibility of her to lean in the future is pretty low.
Final Words
it’s no exaggeration when I say that Dwarf is the best figure I’ve bought since ALTER’s Momohime in July 2010. The figure looks a bit girly and sweet but it’s not like you will get tooth decay from her sweetness, she fits very well into my collection and I was glad that I ordered her. I’ve done no real rating of my collection so far.
But in my unofficial rating, I would place her under my personal Top 3
Momohime – Dwarf – Maryan.
If you are interested in her
Otacute has her one left for 69,90$ (lol for that price I should have ordered there) Hobbysearch has her for 82,83$ as well as HLJ for 88,15$
don’t miss your chance. she’s a really cute and beautiful figure.
very nice review and I really liked the background you used!
Lovely pictures too~
Sadly I mainly collect figures I know and like^^" but a very nice purchase you made there!
Thank you suteki =)
No problem my taste in figures isn't really mass compatible, I know XD
but at least I love her :)
The dwarves in the game tends towards character classes that focus on gathering crafting materials or crafting equipment of war.
All the female dwarves are cute little girls and all the male dwarves are cheery old guys (kinda like mini Santas). There's no option to create a mature looking female dwarf, nor is there an option to create a strapping young male dwarf.
Her outfit is the wedding costume, as you probably guessed.
Out of the pre-painted Lineage 2 PVC figures, I think I prefer the Dark Elf the most.

thx for the interesting info about the Lineage II Dwarfs
Ah I see well Dark Elfs are a bit dark for me ;p
These are bloomers, not harem pants.
Oh ok ,good that you are an bloomers expert :p
Lol I'm not a "bloomers expert" but a woman probably knows more about women's clothing than a man.
Either way it's a very nice figure, wish I could get her some day too.
hehe ok you're probably right =)
yeah she's very nice
Prefer them over the humans/elves/DarkElves.
Though Lineage should stop being known as Grindage. =3=.
jup, Im also more on the cute side in terms of figures ;D
oh sorry, but what does Grindage mean?
I played L2 for 2 years, and all 2 years was leveling >.>
Ah I see
She's so damn pretty. I saw her on MFC, so pink, and pretty <3
hehe I love her very much =)
Just got my figure of the Dwarf in aswell :D
Nice close ups of the figure. Looking at her makes me miss playing my lil dwarf in L2.
ah congratulations :D
thank you, oh there are more L2 players than I expected =)
I was very tempted to get this figure as I played L2 when it first came out and was a female dwarf as well :D If the figure only had the same hair style as the one I played I would have bought it - maybe 2 of them.
My character: http://bit.ly/hzN6ic
L2 is a GRIND of a game. I played for about 6 months and had enough. It was my first MMO though so I still do have fond memories! :P
If you want to see some of the cute animations the L2 female Dwarf has check out this video:

thx for giving me your thoughts
I want this figure...had it preordered but couldn't afford it when it finally came out!
Oh Im sorry to hear that, because she's just great :(
