My most anticipated figure for October finally arrive, she’s none other than Max Factory Kureha from Shining Wind. Got it from my friend last night together with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu concert DVD. Kureha is really bigger than what I expected, probably because I have been getting more 1/8 lately and Kureha is a 1/7 scale figure.
As for the concert DVD it comes in two disc with an insert containing character info. Just skim through some part of the dvd, looks like I won’t be able to understand any of the interview at the beginning since there is no subtitle haha, well at least I still can enjoy the songs. Hit the jump for a close-up on Kureha…
There’s one flaw on my Kureha, quite obvious if view closely. The strand of hair on her forehead have paint bubbles that scratches off leaving unpainted plastic. I manage to fix it some what by using some water color, don’t have any model paint at the moment, and water color washes off easily. Kinda disappointed in that, looks like I’ll be needing that healing brush in Photoshop when I do Kureha photo shoot.
Gorgeous gorgeous figure ^^ to bad she’s not on my buying list mostly due to lack of space so I’m focusing now only on gunpla.
To bad about the mishaps but since these are mass produced figures flaws may occur and you had to be the lucky one to get one with some minor flaws 😦
Grats, I’m still waiting for mine =
I hope mine will be perfect @_@
Congrats, you finally received Kureha… and to add, the Gekisou dvd! Seems each Kureha I’ve seen has some sort of defect. Mine has a minuscule scratch on her hair, while my friend’s has a very bad casting around her left boot. No matter what, all this small defects still can’t detract from her goodness. XD
@Belela-san~yeah she’s really gorgeous. well some flaw is expected from mass produce stuff
@ron~thanks, yeah hopes yours is perfect 🙂
@rain~thanks, been waiting for the Gekisou dvd for quite sometime, PA sold out and had to get from yesasia. yeah she’s just too nice that any flaw will be overlook 🙂
