Greetings once again, everyone! :D
Time for another review! This one would probably classify as a mini review, but I wanted to show off my latest Figma. USPS was unusually prompt in delivering this to me because no sooner did I pay for shipping in HLJ's Private Warehouse, than she arrives a mere 3 days later. Speedy both for USPS and with EMS shipping! Have had her for the past few days, but only today did I open up the box to have a look at her.
Yuzuriha Inori, Figma 143
Ta-da!
(Sorry in advance about crappish picture quality!)
Behold Inori, one of the main characters in the anime Guilty Crown. This anime reads like a who's who of the industry: character design by redjuice, music from the composer who's worked on the Sengoku Basara and Blue Exorcist animes, Production IG is involved, Square Enix is serializing the manga, you name it. This anime seems to have some strongly polarizing elements: people either really love or really hate this anime. I've yet to meet anyone in between in their opinion of this series.
When I first ordered this figma, I had only seen a few episodes of the series myself. Having watched more, I'm reeeally glad that they didn't make a figma of the main character, Shu. As her release date came closer, I found myself getting more excited about having ordered her. Once I got her, I was glad I did as she's very petite and lovely.
I digress. Therefore, without further ado, here's the review!
Box
Ah. Ye olde Figma Box. So normal, so pedestrian. The usual pics of what the Figma inside can do, the average box design. *yawn*
Move along, folks. Nothing to see here! XD
Packaging: 7
Sculpting/Posing/Painting/Assorted loot
You know, you can really get spoiled with the Figma line: most of them come with all sorts of insane accessories/loot. Inori? Notso much. What she comes with:
Just her extra hands, two other faceplates, two pistols...and Fu-nell. Her bitty bot is a fun one though, as he's posable. More pics of this guy later.
Her sculpting floored me: she's very delicate and lovely.
As far as posing goes, since her hip decorations are removeable, there's not much she can't do. She can even sit!!!!!
Some more pics of her beautiful faceplates!
Can't see it well here, but she's got some barrettes that are partially hidden, but that are also painted.
As you can also see, her painting is quite good also. Overall, they didn't do too bad. One minor issue on mine, which is why she isn't getting a perfect score from me.
Yeeah. I'm convicing myself that GSC is getting all its QC bugs out before Madokami releases. This is what I'm telling myself, anyway.
Sculpting: 10
Painting: 8
Posing: 10
Enjoyment
Perhaps it was the paint smear that lessened my overall enjoyment, but even with this flaw, she's still one of my most beautiful Figmas. She's fantastic to pose and her faces are both well suited to her character as well as done well. Very happy I ordered her! So are a few others...
I look forward to taking many more pictures of her. ^_^
Enjoyment:9
This wasn't one of my more exciting reviews, so as a reward, here is a bonus adventure!
The Tachikoma realized that there's a wannabe in their midst...
Fu-nell was hearing none of that and was happy that it brought a toy along for just such an occasion.
Finally! Respect! XD
Thanks for checking this out! Hope you enjoyed it. ^_^
