Assassin's Creed -- Aveline de Grandpre

Assassin's Creed Liberation was a game that I was very excited to pick up when they released the HD version on Xbox 360. Unfortunately, the game came out at a time where I (and probably everyone else) was suffering from over-saturation. I never finished the game, but Aveline was an intriguing protagonist who brought some new dimensions to the series. Mostly, I truly enjoyed the idea behind her persona feature, though I thought it could have been better executed.

The figure, though, is probably one of my favorites in the lineup. Her outfit is pretty unique: more form-fitting than most other assassins and devoid of long, flowing robes. She is the first assassin to wear a hat instead of a hood. I also really love the weird mantle/collar thing she wears. The hat is removable.

Her accessories are awesome. In addition to the trademark hidden blade, Aveline's packing a machete, a blowgun, a pistol, and a bullwhip. Each has a holster/sheathe for her to carry it on her (with the exception being the whip, which you could just wrap around her waist or shoulder).
