Maho Shojo Ink Nijihara Queen's Gate version 1/8 (Clayz/Hobby Japan) review

By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews |

More under the cut :

Here’s finally the limited Ink Nijihara from Clayz . People at Clayz sure took their sweet time releasing her , but it was worth the long wait .
I don’t usually like Clayz , as i think their figures always looks plain and badly painted , with cheap looking PVC and bad faces … but this time they did great .
The retail version is a lot better than the first proto shots , so i’m glad i bought her .

The biggest change is her face , especially the eyes (upper eyes ^^) . The blue used in the retail version is so beautiful and it’s making her look alive . Really i believe Ink face is the sweetest in the PVC world , at least for this year . She’s so cute , and if you’re like me (meaning a lolicon ^^) you’ll love her .

Technically it doesn’t look like typical Clayz work , as the painting is nearly flawless and the shading on the armor parts is a nice addition to an already nice looking figure . So nice work from Clayz , i hope they’ll keep this level of quality for all their future works .

The only problem with this figure is the price , as she’s quite hard to find and prices for her at auction sites are going to go higher and higher . So if you want her , i can only tell you to go buy her now and not to wait .

A really sweet looking figure , nicely made and painted with a cute pose . Only downside is the heavy price . The cast off option was a bad idea and is kinda poorly made and not of a big interest .

9/10

Now look at the pics and ask to yourself : Are you lolicon enough ?

I only have two words for it F…ing GREAT!!!!!!!! If I could I would had gotten her but this is damn great addition to your collection. I give the same rate as you but one thing I’ve been noticing in latest figures, is that the eyes have been looking like decals and the figures have been loosing quality with that

Sure, I can tell you. I’m not lolicon ^_^;.

I do like the photoshoot though. The white background makes it seem very angelic. So well done.

Aw man, don’t cast off! Thanks for not taking photos of that here ^_^;.

Do you visit VJutsu.com? It’s not that different from TDOMJ, so you’ll still have a good time there. Hopefully you can start commenting again. We might have potential gifts to give away soon.

I’m not lolicon enough to get her but I was lolicon enough to get Kokonoe Rin. Does that still make me a lolicon? xD
Really, the detail doesn’t look like Clayz work and I reckon they did and awesome job.
Great pictures as always. ^^

Doesn’t sound common to me where the retail ones are better than the prototype in terms in figures. Would have thought this is from others such as Alter

@ Caziro : “save the loli , save the world”

@ Belela-san : i kinda agree about the eyes , it’s all those figures wih those glossy eyes , but i do like it but yeah i understand what bother you

@ phossil : lolis are always cute ^^

@ Lyli : je ne laisserai pas une loli dans les griffes d’une perverse comme toi !

@ M12 : i’m sad reading that you don’t understand the full power of lolis someday you’ll understand :’(

@ Rin : i’m sure you’ll get her soon

@ Otaku Dan : then you’re not a lolicon :’(

@ gordon : she is cast off able , and it’s cute like that :p

@ optic : yes you are :p . Clayz did a great job but it won’t make me trust them …

@ kazearashi : don’t drool too much !

@ Q : yes retail versions are always not at good as the proto but this one is ^^ . can’t believe it’s from Clayz !

@ chrono-kun : tu as bon gout

@ meronpan : i would love to see all real life lolis in outfits like that :p (it’s a joke ^^)

I saw some Clayz figures for next years , they do looks better than before , but not as good as this one … so i guess it’s wait and see ^^ (but i won’t preorder any :p)
