Just to update, she arrived for me today.

I’m much more pleased than I though I would be. There is no wide seam on the waist on mine after after firmly pushing the lower and upper halves of the body together. it is now only visible from very close up.

The only thing to watch is the black rubbing off her clothes, I have a small smudge on the elbow of the detachable arm :(

the loose fit (or at least the look of it) at the waist is a shame, but overall I’m quite pleased to have preordered her. I really like that she has so many possible configurations. Now if only the wait for her to arrive at my doorstep was not so damn long.

Stop? Just when Alter is about to join the party? :) I have a hunch we’ll see at least 2 dozen more Ikkitosen figures next year…

Anyway, in this type of situation, it’s time for a collector to be rational and choose carefully. I know it’s hard to stop and choose, but one has to, unless one has a whole boatload of cash… :)
I was there before during my star wars crazy days. I’m just glad I don’t have to pay a shrink to get my mental health and financial health back. :)

I did pre-order her, but due to other nicer and costlier figurines in the next few months, I had to cancel her :( Anyway, good review Shingo, and yeah, the waist is a turn down after full cast-off :\

If my head is keeping up with everyone coming to me, she is on her way now. Thanks again for the in depth review Shingo.

Shame about the seam at the waist, I can see how bad it looks from the pics, the type of annoyance we see more often than not under some castoff’s.

Other than that, still quite happy she’s on the way up to now, she does look really sexy in and out of clothes (more so out) and I think she’ll be another nice Ikkitousen addition to the ever growing collection, will they ever stop?

Agreed on the seam at the waist. Sort of prefer her before castoff though, so doesn’t make too much of a difference to me. Will still be keeping my preorder on hold to watch prices.
