I like the figure and will purchase one in my next order.
As I understand it from Annie's description of the figure on her website, the figure comes in two pieces. Based on the pics of the green, I'm guessing the second piece is the shield. It appears in the pic provided in this post, the shield is mounted as a center grip, which is not the usual method of holding a heater shield. It appears from the green that the shield could be mounted with a more traditional strapping.
Very few metal figures are in what I would consider an accurate pose based on my 25 years of using a sword and shield in the Society for Creative Anachronism, so I always bend them to suit. (It's another reason I really like plastics!
)
In short, as with all products, it is ultimately the buyers choice. As for its posting in Medieval Adventures, there are historical examples of female fighters and therefore is IMHO perfectly appropriate. (But I would also post it in the Fantasy and especially the Frostgrave boards.)
