Now you can proceed to slot the cake onto her hands and fix her onto the base.Now we focus on her face. 

(Belated) Happy Birthday to Ai-chan!

Ai-chan's birthday was on 30th June but this figure just arrived last week so, while it's late we'll take a look at it.

[Alter] 1/7 Yoshiko Tsushima

Today we have a 1/7 scale Tsushima Yoshiko figure from Alter!

"Yo-Ha-Ne!"

Okay okay. Yohane.

This figure was out for pre-order in Mid 2019 and I was considering whether or not to get her. I mean, the price...

In the end, I decided to just go for it and... Here she is!

Let me tell you, she doesn't disappoint.

[Good Smile Company] 1/8 Tachibana Kanade Haregi Ver.

Today we have Kanade figure!

Okay okay. I know this figure was released in November last year. And this picture set probably should have come out earlier in January.

"Some may have seen on the 10th of January many Japanese girls in Kimono, not just a Kimono but really gorgeous ones.

This is called Haregi (晴れ着). The literal meaning of Hare is sunny day, also means wonderful day and Gi/Ki means clothes. Why a clothes for sunny day? Imagine, a sunny day has a lot of light and you leave the house with a very nice clothes as if you are going out to the lightened stage. So, Haregi means a Kimono for special occasion; Shougatsu, celebrations such as Seijin no Hi.

Haregi, as it´s for cheering occasions, has lots of bright colour and usually with gorgeous drawings. Also the sleeves are very long which is called Oo-furisode (大振り袖/ big sleeves). If I´m not wrong, only unmarried women can wear Oo-furisode and married women wear the ones with shorter sleeves."

[Kotobukiya] 1/7 Raphtalia

"私はあなたの剣"

I am your sword

"たとえどんな苦難があろうとも月従います"
No matter the hardship, I will follow you

I saw that scene shared on social media and knew I just had to start watching the series.
Really loved it from the music to the characters.

But I'm not here to talk about that.

I'm here to share with you this superbly gorgeous 1/7 Raphtalia figure from Kotobukiya.

p.s. It's been suuuuuuuper long since I've done any figure photography.

[TAMASHII PREMIER] Cure Black & Cure White

ふたりはプリキュア!

This year is the 15th anniversary of the Pretty Cure series and that means there's tonnes of Pretty Cure stuff coming. So, this figure came out in August of this year but I missed it and just acquired it only recently. So, let's get a look at it.

We have today, Weiner Brown Sugar... Ingenmar... Wilhelmina (Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg) Swimsuit Ver. 1/8 from Good Smile Company!

Since tomorrow is her birthday (1st October according to Wiki), it's just about the right time for this review!

p.s. If you didn't catch the introduction, here's what I was referring to:

[Pulchra] 1/6 Aragaki Ayase

It's been 4 years since I did one of these but I'm back! So, let's take a look at a figure that just arrived.

Last year, life sized figure of Ayase was released by FigureEX and it looked really awesome in the pictures. Recently, a 1/6 version of that statue came out and since her birthday is coming soon at the end of the month, let's see how it stacks up against her life sized counterpart.
