4 stars since while I am satisfied with the sculpt and paint job, the prototype clearly shows translucent parts and my scale figure had the parts as an opaque black. A bit disappointing considering the price and exclusivity release of this figure. However, I am unsure if Meiko will ever get another scale in her default outfit. Therefore, if you are a Meiko fan, it is worth getting this figure, even if the final product is more simple.
