Personal Story:
I found this on Ebay while doing a search for Kill Bill stuff. I haven't even seen the movie yet but my sis urged me to get it before I regretted it. I'm glad I listened to her. It was a great find. It was a little expensive but worth it considering its rarity. :)
 
Introduction:
This is a Be@rbrick figure based on the Bride from the live-action movie, Kill Bill. It depicts the Bride in her motorcycle jumpsuit. This was only available as a promo to people who preordered tickets to see Kill Bill in Japan. Limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide.
 

Sculpt:
Nothing outstanding. It's basically the standard Be@rbrick head and body. All the details are with the paint job. One odd thing is that she doesn't come with her Hattori Hanzo sword. What a shame.
 

Paint:
It's excellent even if it's only two colors. The yellow is exactly the same as the suit in the movie and the black is glossy for the head while it's matte for the body. The stripes are very clean and clear. There's not much but that's all we need. The back has the Kill Bill logo.

 
Overall: B+
There isn't very much here but it's a fun little Be@rbrick for fans of the Kill Bill movie. The look is simple but very cool. A must-have. I'm disappointed with the lack of her sword being included. I would love to see Kubrick versions of Kill Bill real soon!
 
Where can I find this?
Quite rare now. It was only available as a promo so your best bet is Ebay but it's getting scarce now. You'll find the DVD version a lot easier probably.

The packaging. A typical promo bag. Nothing special about it.

 


The back.
