Figurine: Mikuru Asahina by Kaiyodo
Time to post photos of this that I took so long ago, especially since HLJ just shipped my Feb shipment of figurines. It’s the first Mikuru figurine that’s out, done by Kaiyodo, measuring at around 23 cm.
Firstly… the box. It’s different in that it’s all plastic. Overall, the desgin was surprisingly pleasing. And although I don’t have the photos, it is tied to the plastic packaging inside the box in the most bondage like manner.
Some distinct points.
Yes, the breast are molded plain horizontal. Feel free to use it as a table. How weird it is, is up to your own taste.
Her legs are never ending. And I mean never ending. Which is a plus point for me. Since it’s doesn’t even look weird.
 
To end it, just some more shots from various angles.
Thoughts
Quality wise, there wasn’t anything that disappointed. Except maybe the base. They should have done better. The box packaging really does look nice to me, and was a plesant surprise.
Honestly though, I thought that the one by ateliar looked a lot more like Mikuru in terms of facial expression. While the max fac one looks positively tortured (not my type).
So in summary, while the figurine is nice as a stand alone, from photos thus far, it would seem that those from other companies look a lot more like Mikuru (to me, and from photo because they arn’t produced yet). I do think the meek expression is very suitable though. haha
I have this Mikuru as well. Only having a quick glance at it I don’t find it too bad. Though I’ll guess I’ll wait till I take a closer look when I do the photo shoot to determine the quality.
Soon we’ll have identical figurine collections
I’m waiting for the max factory version, somehow I dont like this version (her eyebrow painted over her hair -_-)
Full plastic boxes are awesome. You’ll understand why when you get more than 30 figures and have to box them up.
