Lets say that I don’t like to undress my figures, I like to display them full clothed. Is this a good option for me? considering that I love the character and particularly the legs on this figure. Thanks

[...] Movic’s 1/7 Musubi (Race Queen version). This is a cast-offable unit (top, bottom) and you can see Shingo strip her naked HERE [...]

Hmm, now I know why she’s still available at Hobby Search and HLJ – she sucks, and the Japanese fans know it! -_-;

I wish they’d just re-release the first Musubi figure! I’ve wanted that for aeons! *nods*

You should have cancelled. I didn’t see that yellow review. Else, I would have too. At least they didn’t glue her top on for the yellow version, unlike this pink one. I guess that answer your query: Movic decided to correct the horrible shoulder seams of the early yellow version by gluing the top on for the later pink edition. With her top permanently on, you wouldn’t have known the shoulder seams are bad. 8)

Hi Shingo, I’m very disappointed to Movic & Zenko in this Sekirei Musubi (Race Queen Ver.) pvc figure that I had specially pre-ordered. At first, I’m same as you, feeling very excited when I saw the prototype of this figure as the pose here is just too cute. Then, I happen to saw the pictures from the figure review of the yellow version from Wonder Fest in Feb in the link here: http://www.moeyo.com/2008/02/post_4677.html. From this review, I thought Movic or Zenko should have notice this ugly & very visible seamlines from the shoulders & thus probably they had delayed this pink ver release to April as they would want to rectify this problem, but unfortunately, it seems like nothing had been done to improve these seamlines. I just hope no more such terrible production seamlines or faults will occur in my pre-order YAMATO SIF EX Noyamano Ringo. It’s my 2nd time disappointed on pre-order figures already… no more 3rd time I really hope…

Whew! What a relief! I’ve been contemplating on ordering this figure from Play-Asia a week ago…Thanks to your unbiased review, it saved my budget for a much more deserving figure…Thanks Shingo! =)

not bad, but as you mention in the article, certainly not Zenko’s best piece.

Apparently, someone at the head office forgot to tell the production factory this is meant to be a castoffable figure. Else, maybe after looking at the bad shoulder seams of the prototype, they decided to change the idea of this figure being a castoff. And I thought Orchid Seed Anna’s shoulder seams were bad.

Just received this figure yesterday. I rate my copy 5/10
-2 VERY BAD shoulder seams
-1 unfinished look – mold lines all over the figure
-1 NOT a castoff hence
-1 false advertising

Too bad, Movic, your Tsukimi was good. But after seeing your latest work, I’m cancelling my pre-orders for your other releases later this year. I will now buy your stuff only after reviews of actual products. Too bad, Taki is improving after every release. You’re going backwards.

At least you’re not on my BANNED list yet: Volks, Yujin and Artelier-Sai

Great review thanx Shingo!

Bummer about this kits flaws- her cons out weight her pros unfortunately.

I was debating about this one, I’m glad I saw the shoulder issue before I did. It’s a shame because it’s a cute figure. If I run across it on special, I might still get it . . .
