It's not actually rope but part of the cast plastic. Look at this tiny little bell at the end of the cane!Īnd also this trinket on her foot.

At least she even has the signature white ribbons on her hair. You don't actually see her like this in a kimono in the show so it's probably an original pose for her or it's from the game. Maybe it's closer to the visual novel version of her. I don't think the expression's one of the best I've seen and her face looks different from the Anime. There's actually a flat square indent underneath the figure so that you position it correctly on the tatami mat. Then again "gekka" here means "moon beauty" if I'm correct which means she's bathing in the moonlight so there probably isn't supposed to be any wind to make her hair more dynamicly spread out. The hair isn't as dynamic as some other scale figures such as Yuko from Triage X, nor is there much variation in the colour gradient used. The parasol really adds the finishing touch to that traditional Japanese attire. Might be because the bow on ther obi belt isn't as complex but the figure's a lot cheaper than some other 1/7 scale figures that usually cost more than 10,000 Yen. It's approx. 12cm with the tatami mat or 16cm with the parasol. Parasol isn't actually made of paper like the T2 Tomoe figure is but still looks great because it's actually finished properly unlike some bootleg figures like the Yukino figure.įigure looks smaller than T2 Tomoe because she isn't sitting on a bench. If it had something more complex it would detract from the rest of the main kimono. Granted, it's not one of the more detailed and also more expensive figures but up close, you can still see the paintwork's obviously a lot better with no signs of paint chipping off.īow at the back of the obi belt looks OK. It's aimed at 15+ age group and I'd probably consider this NSFW with the kimono drooping off her shoulder and most of her rear showing.įrom afar, this authentic figure actually doesn't look too different from a bootleg figure even though it's made in China ironically. So, let's have a look at XELFLEX's 1/7 Scale Yui Takamura "Gekka" figure first made available back in 2012 March for 8640 Yen (£58). Yui here was one of the trainee pilots who survived one of the invasions and after losing all her friends, she is determined to aid Japan create a weapon that will let them turn the tides. Anime isn't too bad although the plot will probably sound too far fetched. Humans encounter hostile aliens on Mars and suddenly Earth is under attack. The character is from Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse which actually started off as a light novel before it got its own Anime show and in turn, one of those dating sim visual novel games.

Going to be my first authentic figure too after having a look at a whole series of bootleg ones.

#MUV LUV ALTERNATIVE FIGURE PS4#
Wasn't impressed with the paint work on the bootleg 1/6 Shiki figure's kimono so I decided to go for the authentic figure since it wasn't that much more expensive than a new PS4 game. Even better, it comes with great interchangeable armor and weapons like a huge shield, swords, and guns! Comprised of over 200 pre-colored pieces the Storm & Strike Vanguard version stands nearly 5 ½ inches tall (1/144 scale) and offers you plenty of posing and display options with excellent articulation.I really liked the kimono and paper parasol on this figure. The Storm & Strike Vanguard version features an evocative violet and purple color scheme and the incorporation of some parts molded in clear plastic, really giving it a whole new look that’ll stand out from your other Shiranui robots. See details below and photos after the jump.Ī Kotobukiya Japanese import! Up next in the Muv-Luv Alternative model kit lineup is an elite Shiranui variant we’ve seen before in the Fine Scale Model kit that’s now joining its 1/144 brethren, the Shiranui Storm & Strike Vanguard Ver.! This model kit gives the TSF a new look and new equipment while retaining the classic robot’s unique modular armor, aerodynamic shape, and distinctive dual-horned head. Kotobukiya has revealed their upcoming Muv-Luv Alternative 1/144 Scale Shiranui “Storm & Strike Vanguard” Version.
