Movic's Cocona mini review

A rather large figure for a 1/7 size.
- skrirt is a separate piece.. movable, to reveal the panties
- scraf/mini cape/cloth inserted into back amour
- semi hard rubbery material for the boobs... the skin part..
- large and thick (7mm or so) sword/claymore
- rather large base... but as you can see she can stand on her own....
- paint job.. no so good... as in there are bleeding over of borders.. armour does have a metalic purple like sheen to it..

ebay and hong kong combination.. likely imitation goods .. quality usually bad..

Welcome to the world of figurines/statue/sculpture Art Collectibles.. PVC .. one of the cheapest of the cheap platics.. after stryrene and polyethylene

exposure to sun-light/UV would release the chlorine molecules/gas.. and the PVC would be brittle/decomposed..

Metal wire .. unless u use wirecutters to it.. it will stand up to some flexing and abuse unless you exceed the metal fatigue/stretching/bending treshold

Ignis the white... must cost a pretty penny... the face scuplt is not one of the strong points.. and the white outer cover to cover the accidental exposure..

b.t.w. pic should have been censored..

Kotobukiya's Supergirl...
overall nice figure sculpt, but casting and seams are visible on sides of the body trunk, hair, arms joint at the shoulders, The slit on her abdomen could be more gradual, blue paint does rub off....

Amazon JP dont ship/sell store exclusive Kotobukiya figures like Shii Arisugawa, Sera-chan, Mirei, Shoko-san... unless second hand.. most online retailers in Japan don't sell them too... Not that Amazon JP would ship outside Japan to begin with...

Play Asia may sell some of these store exculsives...

Reflect's sculpted Shii is much better sculpt, height/body curves/dimples/fab abs/top cast-off option on some was resculpted, but was first sculpted by Reflect... .. thou only available as of now,... through painted resin, resin or recast resin..

Risky air mail.. with no tracking.. but no extra postage fees charged.. with the package not exceeding the weight limit of the offer...

and a lot more... some highlights ...like orchid seeds's ignis the white & chichimoe (with 3 pairs of breast... a record I believe)... and Daiki's Sanae 1/4 cow girl (2pairs of breasts, one gel filled.. a first.., very brisk sales).. all 3 however are 18sx...

Ayane....Kind of small figure for a 1/6,
Even smaller than the Hitomi figure that is already small.
Comes with 7 small black ribbon parts to be stucked in to the figure (Alphard). Two pieces of the neck straps do not fit good. 4 ribbion bows
Another set of cloths over the bikini called Scorpion. Shading and colouring on belt makes it look leathery.
Sculpt molding not so good, some seams and defects.
Head detatchable. Paint may rub off on figure

bad casting/poorly chosen material for the skirt and blouse, spliting of blouse could be done better as well... you can compare your copy to pics of heiseidemocracy's copy...
