The first entry in Kotobukiya’s trio of Kannagi figures, Nagi-sama in nekomimi cosplay, has just been released. As always, the main difference between the pre-release official photos and the review photos shown below is that the latter is much less shy in exploring the figure’s important bits.
See our earlier coverage on the Nagi-sama / Zange-chan figures here, or perhaps the oft ignored Tsugumi’s inumimi figure here…
The hair seams required for the swappable faces (like a Figma‘s) always look a bit jarring when looked at head-on in a full size figure.
Artefact expressed his concern over the default face’s likeness to the actual Nagi – from a further view it looks good enough, but I do also think the face is off when inspected closely…
Her alternate, pouty face does fare better, and is actually is the same expression from the source illustration (see below).
Nagi’s peculiar hairstyle makes this figure’s hair come out somewhat strangely.
The actual sculpt on the back of the hair (probably not the intended viewing angle for most buyers) is not very high in quality, but acceptable for a figure in the ¥6,000 price range.
Authentic petanko.
Creases in a mizugi or other tight-fitting clothes on a figure are strangely appealing to me…
A nice low angle shot of Nagi…
Nagi-sama pantsu.
The original source illustration for all three of the Kotobukiya figures.
The Kotobukiya Nagi is overall a fairly well done figure for its price, although I do believe the Zange-chan one to the best of the set, and would rate the Tsugumi figure as my personal second favorite over the Nagi.
My original concern with the Nagi figure was that I did not appreciate the rough texture on her nekomimi cosplay too much, but that’s more a matter of personal taste than anything.
Unfortunately for interested buyers that hadn’t pre-ordered this figure (as I did months ago), most of the bigger online stores have long since sold out, so some search engine exploration might be needed.

Nagi is a delicious petanko but yeah I prefer Zange
Wow, Nagi looks as cute as ever there. I wish I pre-ordered it.
I pre-ordered this through Toys Logic quite a while ago. It kind of annoys me though, that the figure will be released in Japan, but I wont get it for an additional 2 months through Toys Logic. Their release date is 03/31/2009.
Though they do still have pre-orders available.
Looks quite disappointing really, especially the hair. However Tsugumi's inumimi figure looks the best out of the 3 IMO. Too bad I can't get my hands on them. =(
Oh!
Why, I never noticed that Nagi had two sets of eyebrows before!
Not much of a fan of the mittens or socks (never been a fan of those oversized paw-things)... but I'm wondering if they're going to make Zange and Tsugumi as a set to this.
Pass on this one.
Better off putting money on another figure.
It just... doesn't do it.
From the hair to the weird way the thin eyebrows are drawn on it.
flat...so VERY flat.
"the oft ignored Tsugumi"... Hmm, I wonder whom would ignore her? The polls seem to indicate the opposite.
He always leaves off the '(by Artefact)'. It /should/ read '...the oft ignored (by Artefact) Tsugumi...'
Don't worry, Arty, We still love you.... maybe....
Who is Tsugumo?
Silly! You got it wrong, It's Tsumugi!
Haha, the moment I saw the name, I knew it wasn't an article by Artefact.
(sorry, never bothered to read the author's name for each article, usually notice the different writing styles...)
Gwah!
When did that happen!?
I need to pay more attention!
cant wait to get the zange figure <3 :P though the complete set would be awesome though.....
yummy petanko
First face just doesn't do it for me, glad they have a second option.
I'm not surprised it's sold out in a lot places, but I dunno...it's a bit ugly. If I were out to get a Nagi figure (I'm not), I'd go for a higher quality one at a higher price. The hair and the face would bother me to no end.
That's exactly how I feel about the figure. If I were in need of a Nagi figure, I would probably pass on this... as I have for many Shana figures.
The hair looks like children's play dough
" I do believe the Zange-chan one to the best of the set"
I felt betrayed.....
Sorry for any hurt feelings!
Nagi? I see only some blue haired wannabe goddess, shes not even close to looking like Nagi anyways. Nagi is blonde, has twin tailed hair, and is a Tsundere ^__^
