Greetings ~
Well... My Waifu (finally) arrived and I must say that I am not disappointed in the least.
However, before I start ~
I searched through the other Topics and didn't see one that indicated a "review" of figures, so I wanted to start one and here it is...
Here is my review of - Katsura Kotonoha - a (quick) one for starters and also begin and open this thread for your reviews of your figures...
What you liked about them, what surprises you didn't expect, and your personal thoughts about your new arrival...
Here goes...Katsura Kotonoha
She is a 1/8th scale beauty in a box and I am impressed with her...
I saw the pictures on the sellers site and I loved them... but to see her (the figurine) in real life is another matter.
I was blown-away.
* She came in the box, very nicely, neatly packed, and all loose items/accessories were taped down to prevent movement or becoming loose within the box.
* The figure itself is a one-piece PVC figure with (very) few loose parts and sits on a white base - which she is (already) positioned on.
She has some flexible items on her, such as the skirt and hair, but she is not pose-able...
* The figurine comes with the following accessories:
a. 2 faces... the face that has the eyes that are *full of life* and the other which are known to be *not full of life* version.
b. Blue mobile phone (complete) and detailed
c. 2 extended hair strands, which are to be placed on the left and right side of her hair.. this adds to the figures look of windswept.
d. The figurine come with the blue/white trimmed travel/school bag... which feels like it has a (head) in it, because its heavy, and because as you hold it, you can feel the outline of the head on your fingertips. ~It does not unzip nor open.. however, it is nicely detailed.
e. She is dressed in her trademark School Days Uniform with the thigh high stockings... EXCELLENT!
f. She also has pink pantsu which appear to be skin-toned coloured that (at first glance) appears that she has none on, but does... a nice touch to the illusion.
Score:
My score from a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the best)... I give it a 9.8
The reason is, since she is already on the base, she appears to (lean) forward a little bit.. or has that illusion that she does... thus my rating of 9.8.
Other than that small item of concern... she is perfect and I HIGHLY recommend getting her if you are so inclined.
Cost: About $87.87 (dependant on your location for shipping).
(edit):
Please excuse my crappy piccies, I will take updated ones as soon as I am able...
