Elizabeth (Betsy) Braddock is the mutant better kno\"\"<\/a>wn by her code name, Psylocke. The character was created in 1976 by Herb Trimpe and Chris Claremont. This mutant is a member of the X-Men and has the power of telepathy as well as the ability to use psychic blasts against her opponents. My favorite of her abilities is her capacity to produce psychic knives. She is a really kick ass character and now, from Diamond Select, she is a kick ass action figure.<\/p>\n

We here at Geekstronomy have reviewed many of the Marvel Select figures from Diamond Select Toys and have never been disappointed. There have been some figures with minor issues along the way but overall I have always been impressed by Diamond Select Toys.
\nThe first thing that must be mentioned about the Psylocke figure is the fact that she is gorgeous. The head sculpt for this figure is not modeled after either of the actresses who portrayed her on the big screen. Like DST the sculptors at Gentle Giant do not disappoint.
\nPsylocke stands approximately 7 inches tall and has multiple points of articulation. These points are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Head
\n\u2022 Shoulders
\n\u2022 Biceps
\n\u2022 Chest
\n\u2022 Elbows (Double)
\n\u2022 Wrists
\n\u2022 Hips
\n\u2022 Thighs
\n\u2022 Knee (Double)
\n\u2022 Calves
\n\u2022 Ankles
\n\u2022 Feet<\/p>\n

That is a very impressive list of movable parts. It is my opinion that the more a person can pose a figure is the longer they want to engage with it. Psylocke comes with a fair amount of accessories. These are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 3 additional sets of hands (fists, open hand and sword gripping )
\n\u2022 Extra head with a slightly different hair style
\n\u2022 Hand with psychic blade
\n\u2022 Butterfly shaped aura to simulate when she is using her psychic powers
\n\u2022 Katana Scabbard
\n\u2022 Stand with a Mu ren Zhuang a( meaning human man post translated from Mandarin)<\/p>\n
