well, the crane backstory might explain why her right leg looks so weird. It almost seemed to me that her pelvic bone was stretching at the skin, looking a little dislocated.

But I’m really liking the face. I really wish I could remove it and attach it to one of my other Iroha figures.

Nevertheless, I doubt I’m going to get this one unless it starts going below the current retail price. Still watching the market eagerly…

Yeah, its the direction of the foot that bothers me….What?? Yes!! I AM looking at her feet!! I’m weird like that!! Don’t look at ME like that !!! Anyway, it’s really pronounced to me in jpg.11 and 68. Like why is it pointing inwards……

Anyway this looks like a great figure regardless. Thanx for the review.

@work_ethic: i was about to say thats part of her design, (swan with a broken wing or something to that effect) but i noticed the bandage is on her left ankle. the right ankle looks okay to me, although a lot of the shots are covered by her ribbon.

I love the figure- but her right leg looks off to me…like her ankle is broken or something. But this is one spot on kit- love it.

I was a fan of this figure since you covered her future release at WHF (or was it Wonder Festival?) earlier this year, and when she arrived on the HS website, I preordered her as soon as I could. She’s now waiting for me on their site, but I preordered her together with Kureha by Max Factory, so I have to wait until she’s available too! ^^

No barette, no life. >:O

In all honesty I’m not a huge fan of Iroha’s design, but I am a huge fan of Nakayama Eiji. I hope we see more PVC kits from him in the future.

“i have to say ive never really understood the fuss over iroha.”

It’s the barette. Totally.

i have to say ive never really understood the fuss over iroha. cute background story and all, easy character to pick up as far as the games are concerned, but kind of a boring character design.

my lack of iroha love aside, it looks like a quality figure though.

It was a tossup between her and the humongous 1/4 Mina Majikina. I decided on the latter as she was just too tempting and at that size who can refuse?

I’m no less of an Iroha fan, but I was rather turned off by the rather blocky hips. It just seemed rather cubic to me.

Her face is really awesome though, so I’m still quite undecided. I’ll be watching the price on this one.
