(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to RiD Side Burn. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of RiD Side Burn here.)

    Roulette is a partial remold of RiD Side Burn, but it's a significant remold- this mold is now female, thanks to the face being completely changed! The thing is, this toy "sex change" actually works, to a certain extent. It isn't a stretch to attribute Side Burn's physique to a female's. I don't like the actual face itself, though- although the Romanesque "helmet" loks nice, the lips are too big and puffy, and a bit corny, if I do say so myself.
    As for the color scheme itself, it is VERY nice. The silver and shiny purple color scheme is delicious, and, when you compine it with the black, I could stare at it for a looong time. The tannish-orangish-brown I'm lukewarm about, but you can't have everything all the time, I suppose. And yes, she has the "Dodge" symbol on the front of the car. I DO like Side Burn's "flame" pattern on the hood better than I like the two stripes, though.
    Roulette is about as good as you can hope the Side Burn mold can get. An excellent color scheme, practically all around. Don't like the female face, though- too corny. If it were by itself, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly, but considering she comes packed with another toy that's exactly the same mold-wise... eh, it's up to you if you want essentially two of the same toys. And her transformation is still a big pain in the butt.
