So i just had to get her , being a big Ilya fanboy . She was out in August of last year , but only available via the Hobby Japan of march (by Hobby Japan mail order) . She stand at a good 220 mm (240 with the base) and at 1/6 . She is sculpted by Takeshi Miyagawa .</p><p> There&#8217;s only three Ilya out there and this one is the only chance to get a good figure of her without a swimsuit (the one by Kotobukiya is too little , and not so great in my opinion) .</p><p> The only problem with this one is that the manufacturer is Clayz , and i&#8217;m not very fond of their works , plains figures and not so much details &#8230; We&#8217;re going to see if this one is better than their previous/usual work .</p><p><a

She looks more like in the novel/tv show but can looks strange compared to other figs in a collection . Clayz is not know for using bright colors too &#8230;</p><p> <a

Nothing really bad , nothing really great , just ok . I was a little disapointed because i thought Clayz would do a better job on this one , being a Hobby Fan exclusive and limited but not really &#8230;</p><p> Still it&#8217;s a great figure for Ilya fans , she&#8217;s the biggest one out (Alter&#8217;s swimsuit one is close, with of course better sculpt and painting) and i like her a lot .</p> <img
