Otaku’s Hideout

This figure come at no surprise since Kotobukiya had released almost all of the characters from Shining Wind. It is just a matter of time. This Mao had the new costume from Shining Wind. Her short skirt is really captivating. Detail looks good. Her outer jacket can be remove. But other than that, I can’t see any outstanding features in her, definitely not her face. It seems rather.. bland. So she won’t be mine. Mao will be released in July 2008 with a street price of 5500 yen. Quite cheap don’t you think, in recent times of figure price hike.

Verdict: NOT MINE!

Ok now for the fun part. In my previous post, we have Takamori Haruka from Alter. In this post we have Sennin Haruka from Kotobukiya. Even though they share different name, they are actually the same character! With the very same pose! I have no idea what these two companies are trying to achieve. Releasing same posed figures at almost the same time. Killing off each other maybe? But I tend to like Alter’s ver better. This Haruka looks a little too pale. And of course, Alter has got the better reputation for quality. She shall hit the streets in July 2008 at 5800 yen.

Verdict: NOT MINE!

If you talk about Shining Wind/Tears figures, you will know Kotobukiya since they have got almost the entire line of figures for those series. The latest one in the line is Elwing, dubbed the “Wind Edition”

The prototype photo has came out quite some time ago. But this is the first coloured promo photo that I have seen. She looks great. But I still prefer the Max Factory’s swimsuit version ^^

Oh man! Kotobukiya has done it again. I have already got my Shii figure and now they come out with her bust figure. And she looks even better than the previous one. (And exposed striped panty ^^) I really like her expression.. So innocent looking! XD

She will retail around USD77 (~RM250) and stands at 175mm.

She shall be my very first bust figure!! ^^
