Wow! Stunning! She has a lot of personality packed into such a simple pose. =)
I wonder if Kotobukiya is going to delay her for four months like Max Factory did with their figures? XD
Haha, and Max Factory still haven’t release Xecty! XD
It would be funny if that also happened.
I’m usually not into the bikini series but this one looks beautiful!
actually I was thinking that it really was the same series… ^^’ forgot that the other ones were made by Max Factory, not Kotobukiya.
Wow.. are there 6 or 7 pieces to her hair??
Overall I adore the figure but with 6+ pieces to her hair, I’m afraid that she’ll end up with color differences throughout and pieces that just don’t fit correctly when mass produced.
The fact that it’s Koto making her gives me bit hope tho.
As long as its Blanc Niege + Koto it’s sold no questions asked XD
