Although quite expensive, I recommend it if it comes on sale again (I got it when it was 50% TOM points bonus). The drawing is highly detailed and to my surprise, it wasn't a "plastic-y" print shoved on top of the shirt like most shirts with designs; it was actually dyed on the shirt. As a side note, I live in Canada and bought this shirt as Medium ( I normally buy either M or L), but it seems a little smaller than my other medium shirts (still fits though), so if you are undecided between two sizes, you should probably go for the larger one.
The yellow and blue in her uniform contrast each other very nicely and really bring out the figure's beauty, and the outfit itself is very cute. The wrinkles are also very well made, both in texture and painting. I think this figure is a solid purchase, but note that the proportions are slightly more cartooney than other figures of the same size. (Not that that's an issue, but just pointing it out).
The painting is very well done and shaded with some areas slightly faded out giving making the clothes look more realistic. How the clothes fan out from her body also makes it look like she's running and gives some feeling into the sculpture. The hair itself is probably the most amazing part of the figure though, being very long and detailed with a very pretty ribbon.
Although this figure doesn't have too much detail in the clothing, it is very elegant in it's simplicity. I think the attire of this figure lies in it's subtle painting. Wrinkles and shadows in the clothing and highlights in the hair are all painted in with great care, even though this isn't completely obvious from the pictures. This is the most well crafted figure of Miyuki Shiba so if you like the character and don't mind spending a few extra dollars compared to her other figures, I would definitely recommend this one.
This figure is just amazing all around. It had so much detail in the shoes, dress and hair. The painting is very well done and different parts of the figure even have different texture. I bought four 1/8 scale figures and while they are all beautiful, this one takes the cake. Would give 6 stars if I could.
