The Bride with the White Hair

Tigerggyy's Female Body StudyTigerggyy continues to post new promotional posters highlighting new BrickTW product due out later this summer.

This most recent pic shows off a torso that is meant to simulate the female figure and a new hair style. The text on the poster itself muses on the differences of the male and female form. The text, however, that accompanies this post on Flickr is much more interesting:

Baifa Monü Zhuan 白髮魔女

Baifa Monü Zhuan (simplified Chinese: 白发魔女传; traditional Chinese: 白髮魔女傳; Mandarin Pinyin: Bái Fà Mó Nǚ Zhuàn; Jyutping: Baak6 Faat3 Mo1 Neoi5 Zyun6), also known as Romance of the White Haired Maiden, The Bride with White Hair or Legend of the White Haired Demoness from its adaptations, is a Wuxia novel serialized by Liang Yusheng between August 5, 1957 and September 8, 1958. It is closely related to another two works Qijian Xia Tianshan (七劍下天山) and Saiwai Qixia Zhuan (塞外奇俠傳) as its characters appear in these novels as well. There have been a few adaptations of the novel, most notably being the film The Bride with White Hair.
