Takamachi Nanoha Swimsuit Version 1/4 (Gift/Good Smile) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews |Tags: 1/4, gift, Nanoha, Swimsuit
More under the cut
Here’s the biggest Nanoha figure ever , standing at 39 cm high (1/4 scale) . I was surprised to see that it was in fact Gift that made this one , and not Good Smile like it was announced . I guess Good Smile is just the distributor this time . And quality wise , it’s Gift allright , with a nearly perfect quality and a great overall look . This Nanoha is not as impressive as the Gift’s Yoko (because of the awesome details Yoko has on the clothes) but a little bikini is always less awesome i guess . Still , Nanoha is without any doubt , one of the most impressive figures ( by her size) and the ultimate swimsuit figure ever.
The base is a white round one , nothing spectacular but it looks solid enough to keep the figure in place . Because yes , Nanoha is quite heavy (sorry Nanoha), being half ABS … And yes you’ve seen it right , this figure needs a big metal bar and a support to help her stands . It’s not a real problem , as the metal bar is hidden behind her right leg and the support is really hard to spot . So good job from Gift.
The paint job on Nanoha is quite good , better than on other 1/4 figures (like the FREeing bunnies) , with more details and no bad spots . The paint used for her skin tone is fine , with good use of shading and Nanoha’s sexy little bikini is sweet too , painted in a pearlish pink color . Nanoha’s body is greatly scuplted , with lots of details and she seems quite happy letting us look at her . My favorites parts about this figure are her hands and feet , really nicely detailed , and all nails pink painted of course . Her hair looks great too and her eyes are beautiful , and are not glossy , way better than the FREeing bunnies again …
9/10
A really big stunning figure , she is truly the best swimsuit figure ever . Nanoha fan or not , you can’t say no to this beautiful and really sexy girl .

Nanoha looks great! Man, 1/4 figures blow me away, but most of the time they just don’t look detailed enough, which is why I stick with the 1/7’s and 1/8’s. I’m almost tempted to get this figure because she looks so adorable!
I’m looking forward to your pictures when you get the Fate 1/4. I see it just went up for pre-order on some of the shops I frequent.

she is quite stunning but i truly passed on her because of her size and my lack of space, but with the announcement of the Fate bikini figure i might have to spring for her when i have more funds on me

@James, That’s quite a tough stage you’re going through… yes it definitely helps to not go to figure related sites, dunno what your plans are, but I hope for the best, ganbarre James!

Great review as usual.
Didn’t get her due to her size. My room is “flooded” already. Also, i find her face… Errr…. Just not right, but i don’t know how to put it.
I guess you will be getting Fate as well. You will be getting it from Nanoha if you don’t. XD
