I'm not crazy about cast-offs but this figure is one fine piece of work. Federal law indeed! Great work on the photos Shingo, whilst having the Limited on order I feel compelled to get the standard edition as well XD Something tells me though that this isn't gonna be hanging around by the time I scrape together some more cash. Just a hunch :p Hot damn, I’m glad I got the play-asia preorder for the Limited Edition when I did! I’m not crazy about cast-offs but this figure is one fine piece of work. Federal law indeed!

Although I have her on preorder, it's for a friend of mine, I'm only lending him my international credit card. If she really pleases me when I have her on my hands, I'll consider purchasing one for myself. My enthusiasm was greater with Queen's Blade Elina (alredy purchased but not arrived). But I agree that this Shizuka is another top class figure and I really like Mega House products standards. Shizuka also resembles a real warrior (from an eroge point of view, more exactly), this can't be said of many of the Queen's Blades...

Hope that helps! >>Gandolf The special version was a Hobby Japan mail order exclusive. According to the <a href="http://hobbyjapan.co.jp/item_notice/index.cgi" rel="nofollow">Hobby Japan mail order news site</a> it's scheduled to ship in May. If you're looking for any other details regarding the figure let me know and I'll see what I can dig up. >>tijoh06

It's always nice to hear your opinion on a high selling figure. Though you could have written "It's Queen's Blade, just buy it" and I would have completely agreed. Great review and excellent photos.

Though the production is first class I can't stop noticing two issues: the paint has a lot less shading than the prototype and the hair is less sharp. While these are usually the rule in final PVC products is the first time that a Queens Blade figure doesn't looks exactly like the prototype (as an example the lovely Equidona is a perfect match to the original version if not for the base color) I really love this figure and am waiting for mine to arrive.
