Review: Kotobukiya Xecty Military Uniform Version

I would say Xecty has the best looking face among all other Shining Wind characters. The color scheme are almost the same as her normal version, it's just they changed her outfit design to a military uniform.
She has that cute strand of hair pointing up like an antenna, even though she has 2 real antennas at the side of her head in place of her usual wings. Nice pointy ears behind those beautifully sculpted bangs.
Dark brown silky hair. Almost looking like dark chocolate. Awfully delicious to look at.
I can somehow relate why Kotobukiya release a military uniform version of Xecty. Obviously, military green goes with military uniforms. Her outfit holds a lot of small minor add-ons like the frills, laces, buttons and string holes. The scarf on her top looks pretty well made. The best thing I can see is her belly button.
There's a crazy amount of straps on her arms. Very uniformly done and extremely detailed on her sleeves.
Same goes for the other side. You will be able to notice that there's even holes on the belt that she's wearing on her arms. These are the quality details which makes me think I had my money well spent.
Xecty comes with a rather big sword. Not much details on it, nothing colorful but a fairly unique design. Just slot it in her hand and it'll stay there as it is.
Very nicely made wrinkles around the waist of her skirt. To top things off, there's even a small little ribbon near it.
Each side of her skirt has a very nice 4 leave clover embroidery on it. Did I mention that her skirt is castoffable?
Her inner skirt looks similiar to her normal version. Guess the only difference is the buckle on her belt. Nice looking stockings too.
Very nice boots, especially those details of the little ribbon knots.
Like all other Shining Wind figures, her base is almost the same. A round simple black base.
Overall, Xecty's quite refreshing to look at with her military outfit. Her pose is somewhat firm, probably to match the military theme. I noticed that everytime there's an alternative version to a character, Kotobukiya does spend extra efforts and details on the quality. She is definitely worth getting.
