Airi

February 3rd, 2008

Finally got my Airi figure after spending two weeks waiting for the SAL package from Japan. Surprisingly though, the SAL package arrived intact as I had always heard stories about bad handling for SAL.

A common trait that I had found with MegaHouse figures is that it feels greasy after you take them out of the box. Same goes for Airi. At first glance, she was well wrapped in plastic, and thus forced me to fully cast her off to remove them. ^^

Airi is a hugely popular character in the Queen’s Blade universe. She comes in a maid form, carrying a huge weapon. Airi’s detail and paint job is good enough. The height of her with the scythe attached (~32cm till the very tip of the scythe) makes her unable to fit into most display cabinets. She can be fully casted-off, until only her pantsu and socks left. But her clothes are rather hard to remove though due to tight fittings. There is no manual for casting off included and need for trial-and-error.

Her base is made up of three parts. And it adds to her height as well. The base feels kinda plasticly and Airi is not able to stand without it. Airi has got sexy long legs ^^

Some close-ups of Airi and pantsu shot using my macro lense. Kind of over-exposed. ^^

Highlight of this figure:

Super big scythe!

I really like this Airi figure. Her fully cast-off feature is a huge plus. However, her not-so-moe-as-expected face and her feel-like-cheap-plastic base does cut her short of a few points from getting a Prim3 Recommended tag.

Where did you get her? Anyway, according to Dannychoo, you should wipe the cloth insides coz the greasy thingie can make the paint rub off.

@Exiled_Gundam: got mine from HLJ..

ya heard about it from his Tomoe review.. Happened to my Tomoe at the arm area.. I didn’t expected it when I first bought it.. but not the paint rub off.. the grease discoloured the tone..
