Anime and Video Game Insight

Produced by: Yamato Story! Image! Figure! Extra

I didn’t really know what to expect when ordering Anime PVC figures online, nothing at all…  Not how long it’d take, what condition everything would be in, if all the parts were there,…  When the parcel finally arrived, I was pretty excited to see that everything was in place!  So, without further ado, my first shot at an Anime Figure Rewiew.

We have here Kanako Ohno, a girl who loves cosplay, anime, and most other otaku’ish hobbies.  This particular figure has her cosplaying as a Kasumi Kisaragi from Kujibiki Unbalance (An anime within an anime)!  Ohno comes with her figure, sword, sheath, and stand.  (On a side note, there is no place to put the sword in the sheath.)

Ohno stands about 7″ tall.  She’s made rather heavy.  The figure is definitely detailed, from the creases in her outfit down to the buckles on her boots.  Her skin is smooth, no signs of mold lines on closer inspections.  Something really cool to note is the detail they put onto the bottom of her boots, even though no one see’s them while she’s on the stand, you can tell that a lot of time was spent putting this figure together.  (Even the box art was nice.)

 Something that worried me was how hard it was to put her sword onto her hand.  I swear, the botton of the sword was wider than the top.  I was pretty afraid I’d break her hand or sword with how much pressure I had to put on it inorder to push it through.

A few notes about the photoshoot:  I was still learning about my camera while doing this and took quite a lot of pictures.  The backdrop is the Genshiken DVD Art Box.  I also want to add some close up shots of some of the more detailed parts of this figure, but apparently the shots looked better on my camera than when I pulled it up on my PC for editing,… I’ll try again later and upload them.  Also a slightly larger version of all these pictures can be found on my photobucket page.

Until Next Time!
