Review: Kotobukiya Mao

First of all, I know nothing of Mao, except she's from the Shining Wind series. Secondly, cat ears. Lastly, Kotobukiya.

The back of her hair looks nice with another layer underneath. Not many figures have that.

She's wearing a pink cheongsam with a bulky jacket. I must say the decals on her jacket looks great.

The paw decal looks cute. Once again I spotted something strange with Mao's outfit. How can the clothes be showing tighter near the bikini area when her pose is leaning forward? Won't it rip or cause discomfort if she was to stand?

The decals on the gloves looks cool.

The small little ribbon at the side tells me she's not wearing anything underneath.

The back of the jacket floating slightly with her pose.

Quite a nice femine right hand.

Why is she not wearing a skirt? I want a refund.

On second thought, the back of her thighs and hips don't look that bad afterall.

Fishnet stockings with leather boots. It's too exciting for me.

As usual, I present the commonly white oval base with nothing on it to you.

Overall Mao's quite a simple figure but with that expression and pose, she really brightens up the day.

Review: Megahouse Annelotte

Annelotte's a knight in shining armor. She's the main character of the new Queen Blade's Rebellion series and she definitely looks hot with that sweet face and badass armor. She's well proportioned compared to most of the Queen's Blade first series characters and the quality is always great with Megahouse. She wears a clam shaped tiara and there's a red dragon head ornament at her neck area.

Her hair flows to the back and curls at the tip. A great match to her pose.

All the delicious fine details of her armor. The silver chrome with a combination of gun metal color makes her look like she's really wearing metal. The grooves with fine black linings are simply amazing.

I'm always impressed by Megahouse. They never leave out a single detail to whatever figures they make. Even the gauntlets of Annelotte are like art pieces which I never imagine possible.

A knight's sword.

And a great shield to go with.

Look at those thighs. I always preferred thighs with a little meat on them. I mean who likes skinny drumsticks?

A small heavy piece of cape is clipped to her back hip area. Yes, it's thick and heavy but it does give the solid feel.

In my opinion, Annelotte holds the best legs in Queen's Blade. Look at those leggings. There are layers on her legs to really bring out the best in her leggings. Not to mention the fantastic shadings.

The design of her leggings is superb.

I can never get enough of those legs. But with great quality comes great fragility. It kind of worries me with that standing on one leg and leaning back a little, eventually something might give way.

Annelotte's one solid figure to get. I've always love figures with weapons and great outfits but she really topped my expectations.

Review: Kotobukiya Kureha

Kureha's one of the more popular characters in the Shining Wind series. Even I can't deny that she's my type of girl. Her character outfit's nice, the color scheme is just right and there's this dynamic pose only Kotobukiya can offer.

At least the hair ribbon looks natural. The problem with Kotobukiya's figures are they somehow missed out minor details with the outfits, most of them being gravity-defying.

Hair looks great. Somehow it looks weird being lifted half way at the back of the head but I could live with that.

The sleeves are fantastic. Swinging from one side to the other, it really does make her look alive. Her shoulder looks great as well.

Yeah, twist that butt. Can't find any fault with that posture.

This is one of my favourite. Bringing that arm up and lifting that weight. I'm referring to her sleeve.

Being over exposed brings goodness to my eyes and bloodiness to my nose. I never expect Kureha to have such valuable assets. Talk about hidden treasures.

I can't emphasize enough on her sleeves. They really look lively, very nicely sculpted.

Kureha comes with her bow where she'll hold behind with her left hand. Yes, the bow comes with a string. Yes, I'm looking at her behind, so who cares about that bow now.

The decal on her sash looks nice. There's some small little ruffles at the tip of her skirt, just above those smooth slender thighs.

Her legwear look like loose socks. Yummy, loose socks are my favourite.

It's just a dark brown oval base.

She's great, she's cool, she's one of the best Shining Wind figures out there by Kotobukiya.

Review: Kotobukiya EX-Xecty

I've seen her in military uniform, bikini and goddess outfit, but nothing beats being re-designed to an android form. She's slightly bigger than most of my 1/8 scaled figures, not to mention an additional taller and slender proportion.

Emotionless expression is the way to go for androids. Her hair's in another different color from the few other versions I mentioned earlier, purple looks nice. The glossy black areas of her outfit is not exactly black, it's more like a tinted black to imitate transparency. I like that idea, makes my imagination run wild. Anyway, android or not, the color combination of white and pink is definitely for girly girls.

You can see the details of her abdomen and belly button. Yes, there's something else which I didn't mention along the same area, but you probably guessed it. There are many more to her details which you can see here, but I have my eyes fixed somewhere else.

Her sleeves looks great. They even add ruffles to her cuffs area.

Pony tail rocks. She has those guide vanes for her flying and 2 long wings attached to her head. I wonder why they didn't make it fixed, the ball joints don't really help to hold her wings up due to the weight. In substitution of her long pointy ears, long pointy earphones.

Nice mini-skirt. Especially those thighs showing out of them.

Chest front, hips back. Look at that posture.

She has that cute little ribbon behind her waist in the same color theme and she has that cute little something-else below. Yes, she's wearing pantsu.

Those thighs are really irresistable.

Her legs sort of similiar to Gundam legs with all the knee guards and boosters behind the legs. Initially I was thinking that her legs are movable with her joints looking the way they are but somehow they made them fixed.

The details are very realistic for her legs with all the seams. The feet with those robotic high heels.

The inverted V-shaped base is very sturdy but I don't understand why she's wobbling everytime I try to type here. I doubt she'll fall. I don't have much experience with these kinda figures that suspend in the air, so I can't really comment if it's normal for this case.
She's beautiful. The colors are just right. The pose is great and that outfit definitely is one of my favourites.
