Ichiban Kuji Premium Ranka Lee 1/8 (Banpresto) review

~What ’bout my staaar~

More under the cut :

And another Ranka figure … Harder to get but worth the try .
As you can see on the pics , the overall look of this Ranka is great , she is represented in her trademark pose , with her real colors and her favorite clothes (and she even has the FANGS !) . Even Ai-kun (the strange green thing on her base) is here . But Banpresto is not Alter or Max Factory , as the painting is not perfect , with some dots there and there and the PVC quality is not the best . But even with those minor grips , this PVC figure of Ranka is quite solid all around (her dress looks awesome with some great shading and great details) , and the fact that it’s the first Ranka figure that looks exactly like in the anime is surely going to make fans happy . But beware , as she’s hard to find , the prices on auctions sites are quite high . Just wait until you can get one at a correct price but don’t wait too long .

8.7/10

Finally a real Ranka figure , sadly a limited item again . But if you’re a Ranka fan , this one is the one to get , at least until the Good Smile version is out . Good work from Banpresto , but the painting and finish could have been better .

More reviews of this one here and here .

On another note , yes a review ! After thinking a little and reading all your messages/getting mails , i decided to try a little more . I worked a little this month so i was able to buy 3 figures (so yes , two reviews coming next week , Ichiban Kuji Lala and Haruna) and i will buy another figure in september/october . So i won’t be able to post as much as i was before , but at least i can keep doing reviews and taking some pics , and that makes me happy . And i believe with all my problems lately , stopping everything would be too bad …

So yeah , thanks a lot for the support guys ! I really appreciate it !
