Figure maker CM’s updated the official site for their Kodomo no Jikan Kokonoe Rin vinyl figure today with photos of her finished color version, and I must say they’re underwhelming. CM’s incompetence at smaller scales is well documented, but I thought they’d have an easier time with something closer to human size… apparently not. I’d imagine some who preordered before these shots appeared are having second thoughts right about now. (no more)
One word, Eew!
I remember when people tried to look just like the bishojo anime character in real life and this is how it turned out every time. An over-sized head on top of a proportionate body with and ugly paint job. and for rough 500 dollars!!!
I am not amused!
Ouch.
On a side note, I’ve heard that it’s not 1/1, but more 1/1.5.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to avoid saying that it’s “1/1” or perfectly to scale when talking about it here, but it’s hard to tell with these *cough* totally fictional and therefore ageless and not really human *cough* anime characters sometimes.
It looks so gloomy and subdued. And the paint looks almost like it’s painted in layers, or just over painted.
No.
wwwwwwwwww
that’s… kinda scary. At least the eyes are well done. the rest of the face tho…
OMG, zombie arms. @_@
Absolutely horrifying…
Hopefully that’s just the prototype and the actual product will have a more vibrant colour scheme, especially the hair. If you notice, Rin’s voice actress has a more vibrant orange colour hair than Rin herself… :/
Looks like they photoshopped the prototype.
