More under the cut:

Sora gets four Exelica out of five.

The good: – awesome ABS hair, nicely detailled – looks exactly like the proto – i love the little cushion

The bad: Kotobukiya’s usual paint, kinda blank – no shading or at least nothing spectacular

No surprises there, it’s the usual Kotobukiya work at 1/6 scale, it’s nice and everything, but after the stunning Tamaki from Max Factory, it’s hard to be impressed by something from Koto. Still a nice buy for Sora fans, i should know, i am one.

Aka’s review is up at OMGWebsite.

Elwing gets 4.5 Exelica out of 5 (i really wanted to give her a 5 but the painting can still be better)

The good: – she looks like the proto shots – big, gracious and ultra sexy – the hair is detailled but still perfectly made without any defect – great use of gradiant colors on the clothes.

The bad: – the paint work is good on most parts but some sloppy painting there and there, if you looks closely you can even spot some little marks and defects on the “dress” – the paint used is not “vibrant” enough, as always with Kotobukiya.

Yay, for once no disappointement with a figure. Another 1/6 figure that prove my theory that Kotobukiya’s figures are not great when they’re 1/8 but they’re way better when they’re bigger. This Elwing is beautifuly sculpted and looks gorgeous. The paint job is sloppy at time but for the most part and at a normal distance, it looks awesome (and the nails are painted, pink). Gradiant colors looks great and the base color is beautiful. And you can’t really see with pics, but believe me, Elwing’s eyes looks amazing from close up (both pair yeah but i meant the upper ones ^-^).

A beautiful figure that you should buy if you like beautiful girls. And i know you all do.

That’s it for my review but don’t forget to check the awesome pics from Tier at Tentacle Armada.

And a little preview of my next review:

More under the cut :

Another figure from Kotobukiya , this time it’s Emi Kizaki from the anime “Kurogane No Linebarrels” .

I’m not going to write a real review , because the problem is easy to spot : this figure is far from the quality i expect now and looks like a two years old Kotobukiya’s figure …
The overall quality is not high with not a lot of details , the PVC quality is not too good with marks on the legs and some little seamlines … And for a 1/8 figure she’s so little ! Even my 1/10 Lena from Wave is bigger !

But everything is not that bad , the paintjob is fine and the hair is quite nicely made . And Emi really looks cute with a nice surprised expression and a sexy pose . But still for the high prices PVC figures are now , i think she’s sadly not worth a buy , at least not at full price …

7/10 . A cute and sexy little figure but too plain and simple to be worth the buy at high price .

Now for the pics :
