The fact that "My Dress-Up Darling" is about cosplay means we will be seeing A LOT of Kitagawas in various costumes. That is why it is important to get a figure showing the starting point! This is a nicely done figure that captures Marin's carefree energy in her everyday school clothes, which makes it a great starting point for a "My Dress-Up Darling" collection. My only complaint is that I have no idea which direction she is supposed to be facing on her triangular base plate, but I'm honestly not sure it really matters. Anyway for the money this is a great figure and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.
