DST Femme Fatales: Alice: Madness Returns

The Star of Alice: Madness Returns is DST's Newest Femme Fatale

May 11, 2012 - American McGee's Alice has torn her way through Wonderland twice now, and I think we can all agree that the thing that stands out the most is the way she slices her way through Card Guards with her trusty Vorpal Blade. She gives a new meaning to the phrase "cutting the deck," and her determination and knack for causing mayhem made her a must-do for Diamond Select Toys' Femme Fatales line of statues.
