Oh my god. I've been a low-key Taiga fan since forever. Her design is just so cute!! And this figure is just perfect. I love the white, instead of black bunny suit - and the little matching gloves and the bowtie!!! The bowtie is great. Outside of the stylistic choices though, she has the best hair I've ever seen in a FREEing bunny. And overall, mine seemed to have no noticeable paint defects.
This is my first noodle stopper and I was a bit scared at the comments regarding QC issues and overall size (they tend to run a bit small) - but she's adorable. She balances perfectly and is sitting at the edge of my shelf as we speak. I will say, as a con, she really has no shading/really minimal shading, but the high contrast outfit really works in her favor in that regard.
So this is a bit silly. But I've tried to buy a Madoka artbook three times now. The first two, I found out upon receiving, were actually interviews and story descriptions written fully in Japanese, which I, unfortunately, am not fluent in. This book on the other hand - is gorgeous. It's full of concept art and finished pieces. Absolutely lovely. Would definitely recommend if you're a fan of Madoka.
This might be due to my own lack of experience in purchasing this type of keychain, but I was really expecting it to be a bit bigger than it is. The art and quality are stellar. It's just a bit too small to appreciate much of the details in the piece unless you get real close to it.
You can never go wrong with Sakizo. The book consists of a page with the drawn character and the next page over has outfits you can cut out and make a paper-dress-up doll? The concept is adorably 2000s. But I could never actually cut into this book. I'd be too scared of messing up or losing any accessory pieces. Regardless, their work is beautifully detailed as always and the short blurbs (in Japanese) of the princess and outfit are adorable and informative. I'm so glad TOM stocked this book.
I was not getting this figure. She goes for 140$-ish in the aftermarket and as much as I love Kino- There’s no way I was gonna pay that much for such a simple figure. I’d very much accepted that I wasn’t gonna have her in my collection for a while. So imagine my surprise when a couple of days after this realization TOM had her up for sale, brand new, from the US warehouse, for 90$ total- including shipping. I obviously snagged her up immediately. She’s gorgeous. I got her in less than a week. Her packaging was stellar- not a single scratch on the box. And she looks amazing in my little Kino collection, beside the 1/10 koto figure. This was such a lucky break for m...Read more
