One of the best things about anime is the fact that most every single character translates insanely well into figure form. These are no exception.

Sculpts, scale, paint apps, detail: All fantastic. Every now and then the paint apps will be a bit off on the body, but even when that happens, it aint all THAT bad. And even when the body app is a teeny bit bad, the faces are almost always near perfect.

Anita (pink hair) is perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. In every way. Both her standard pose, and her action pose. All sorts of mix-match poses. Her face, her alternate faces. I couldnt have asked for a better Anita fig. The pose I will keep her in is a bit of a mix: arms crossed, holding the doll, but head angled like in the action shot. Body turned, and head facing the camera. (i'd take a pic, but i just barely got these pics before the camera died...)

Michelle (blond) is great too. Two complaints though. She leans a bit, as you may be able to see in the pics. Taken care of with a bit of glue on the bottom of her feet, but even still, when looking at from an angle, she leans a bit more than i am comfortable with. Hopefully this will not warp her feet and cause eventual tippage. As long as it stays this way, I can deal with it.

Second complaint? No alternate left hand. So she HAS to be holding the bow. It's sculpted into that hand. Take away that hand, and you just have an empty sleeve. The hand holding the 'arrow' also tips up a bit, away from the bow. Would have been nice if it were resting on the bow. Pose I am keeping? Bow hand (looks bad with no hand), along with the regular hand holding the paper sheets. Not going to use the 'arrow hand' at all. Looks too awkward not resting on the bow. Like Anita above, its a nice mix of the two.

Cant wait till Maggie hits next month [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
