Tohsaka Rin Unlimited Blade Works Version 1/7 (Good Smile) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews, Girls and Flowers |
More under the cut:
This time, Good Smile didn’t disappoint and this Rin is not far from perfect. She looks exactly like the proto shots so i have no complains. The glossy paint used on her is not too glossy and shading is used too. So no, it doesn’t look cheap at all. It looks classy. And i won’t even speak of her hair, just gorgeous and perfectly done. Fot those who were scared of her pose and the fact that she could break because of her one foot pose, i believe it’ll be fine. the metal bar on the base seems good and solid enough, and Rin is nicely balanced and not too heavy. So it should be fine.
So yeah, this Rin is the best Rin available, you should buy her if your a fan of her or just fan of beautiful girls.
Rin is getting five Exelica out of five.

I kind of love gloss finishes on a figure, as long it is used appropriately. I noticed gloss finish attracts dust easily, but they are more resistant to environmental influences (moist atmosphere, paint scratches when figures come in contact etc) that may damage the paintjob.

Lots of people don’t like the glossy paint but i do. On some figures, it adds a shiny looks that i do like ^^
Hope you’ll be getting yours really soon !

Rin is the best, who needs Saber anyway ;p
Well I always liked the anime character of Rin and this figure of her looks really beautiful.
The sculpting of her swaying twintails looks fantastic as well as the whole pose of Rin.
These slightly shiny and transparent stockings are nice details of her overall attractive dressup.
It seems like she looks good from many angles, just the face is a bit too serious in my opinion,
but I still feel tempted to buy her, unfortunately this month I can’t place another order

Agreed
Her face is serious but she’s a tsundere, what else to expect ?
Melissa took all your money ? But she’s worth it too

Elle est superbe !! J’avoue que c’est la plus belle figurine qui puisse exister sur le personnage de Rin !!!
Et tes photos sur fond blanc font ressortir toute la beauté de Rin
Huhuhu je vois que tu as aussi le popotin d’Haruka

Elle est vraiment très sympathique (même si j’aime pas son visage “je fais la gueule”). Le rendu des cheveux est vraiment soigné, bravo à GSC ! Et tes photos sont bien jolies préférence pour celles avec les fleurs. Aaah et le chat, trop trop mimi ^^’

Il est bien son visage, c’est ça les tsun tsun ! (et je deteste les tsun tsun …)
Je ne les supporte qu’en figs en fait
Oui pour une fois c’est un super boulot de la part de GSC <3. Ca change.

A lot of people seem to dislike the gloss on Rin’s clothes, but I think it looks great! I ended up passing on this Rin since I already have a figure of her, but if I didn’t I probably would’ve gotten this one.

Awesome photos as usual. I regret that I’ve cancelled my preorder without thinking twice.. hopefully, the customer who ordered her in our local retailer here won’t buy her cuz I might gonna grab it myself. Just love this figure of Rin.
