Even as Boss Fight Studio revealed their first Gorgon releases, many folks were asking them about the potential for an “albino” variation of their sinister snake sisters. Well, it took until the very end of Series 01, but they came through in a huge way with the Serpentess Order Gorgon!
But this isn’t just a plain white albino deco. This is a clear example of why the Boss Fight Studio designers are the best in the business. They could have decoed up a pale white figure and be done with it, but instead they worked in a very pale pink hue and created this astounding pearl-like color scheme that is just phenomenal. I can’t quite explain the effect of the deco of the snake skin, but it looks as if it’s crafted from the surface of a valuable jewel with this slight hint of pink and a gloss that is unlike much of anything that I’ve seen on an action figure before.
This slight pink color is offset amazingly well by the translucent purple armor, gauntlet and Gorgon skull helmet, which offsets the pearl sensation of the underlying body in such a way that the figure looks almost ephemeral, which completely backs up the excellent storyline crafted around this character.
According to the bio, the Serpentess Order Gorgons are nearly mystic, with the ability to speak or understand any language, raise and commune with the dead, and produce venom that imbues the same mystical powers upon those who drink it. The Serpentess Order is fascinating from a story standpoint and spectacular from a design standpoint. It truly is an almost flawless combination of two key components of action figure development.
Accessories
Along with the terrific paint scheme, the Serpentess Order Gorgon has wonderful accessories. I’m a big fan of the long swords, and she has two of them in terrific crystaline color schemes, which follows the backstory of her using crystal armor and weapons as part of her mystical nature. The transparent nature of her armor and helmet is really beautiful and with the shimmering white flesh underneath it, we have a very spiritual looking figure. Great, great accessories to go along with a spectacular figure.
I can’t say enough good things about the Serpentess Order. She has a great backstory, an astounding and understated paint scheme, and terrific overlay of fun (and functional) accessories. This is just about as good as it gets, folks. Pick her up!

Summary
How many ways can I say how great this figure is? With an illuminating, pearlescent color scheme, wonderful crystal weapons and armor, and an intriguing backstory to the character, this figure is the perfect way to round off Series 01 of the Vitruvian HACKS toyline. She is a sinister, mystical creature of sorts, a mysterious spirit with a powerful punch, and I really love every single aspect of the Serpentess Order.
