Magical Girl Maryan 1/8 (Kotobukiya) review

More under the cut
Here’s the cute Maryan from the game/anime To Heart 2 .
So yes it’s again a figure from To Heart but really an interesting one , original and totally cute .
Technically it’s the usual Kotobukiya work but they made a good job with the painting , the details are here and there is no visible problem on my sample .
The best part is the pose , really dynamic and looks totally great with the magical effect and the nice base . The magical wand is really nicely made too and looks great .
There is no real flaws on that figure , it’s a totally cute girl with an awesome pose , great painting and a lots of details . A welcome change from the usual schoolgirls or swimsuit girls figures that we can see everywhere . And the best , it’s PINK , again ! I’m pretty sure Persocom is going to love her , as he loves pink and cute wands ^^
Nice effort from Kotobukiya , better painting and pose than their usual work .
8/10

The backgrounds you select are always so amazing. This one is very appropriate for the figure. I love the magical “thingies” circling the character =D.

Quelle merveille ! J’ai cédé il y a une semaine en la commandant sur HLJ, en me disant qu’elle avait l’air quand même très mignonne (j’avais longuement hésité à la préco, et finalement j’ai pas su). Et quand je vois les photos que tu as fais d’elle, je suis complètement ravie d’avoir craqué. Avant hier encore, j’avais pensé l’annuler car financièrement ça allait être chaud. Mais finalement, je regrette pas, on mettra pas de sous de côté cette fois-ci. ^^
En tout cas, encore une très belle loli qui rejoint les bancs de ta sublime collection. Continue à faire d’aussi belles photos, et comme Lyli’, fais nous rêver.
Gros bisous ! :3

Out of a variety of To Heart figures. this was the first one which caught my attention.
With a cute smile, dynamic pose and full with a goodness of “PINK”, she is one of the must get To Heart figures out there for any To Heart fans. ^^
Outstanding shoot.

Auu~ so cute !
I think she’s of type of figures which are really like a lesson of life for part of us who can’t buy her. It’s like let her in a cold and obscure street. You want to help her, to heat her, to comfort her. But you can’t because you haven’t enough money…
Finally, you can’t sleep and you just want to commit suicide

Elle est trop jolie.
C’est tout à fait mon genre de figurine en plus.
Mais comme c’est Koto, je me retiens pour ne pas craquer.
Sinon, tes photos sont toujours aussi sublimes et le fond est très bien choisi.

ahhhh didn’t think much about this one at first, but now you’ve got me wanting her ^^; you also happened to catch me while playing through sasara’s route so i’m finally getting some exposure to those characters. kotobukiya is so hit or miss with me, but looks like a definite hit in this case.

There are a lot of To Heart figures. I think I only have one. This one might be wrong enough to be interesting.^^
