Momohime & Seena

This week some of the stuff I’ve ordered has started dropping in. A couple of days ago I got the posters (KARA and YUI) that I ordered as well as the CDs and Blu-ray that you see in the picture. Yesterday my latest two figures arrived and today I picked them up.

There’s Momohime by Alter and Seena by Max Factory, both of which I’ve mentioned before. Both figures are really great. I’m super happy with them.

I only took a quick picture, but the detail level on the Momohime figure is very good, and so is the paint job. The design is really solid. You can choose if you want her to draw the sword (like in the picture) or wield it. You can replace the left sleeve with another one that makes her hold the sword in a different way. The right hand can also be replaced with a hand without a sheath.

The Seena figure is also great. A bit bigger than I thought (I forgot that it was 1/7 scale). You can take off the sarong if you want. To do this you have to remove the upper half of her torso (takes some wiggling). It works just like on the Alter Kanu figure that I have. The seam is just under the bikini strap, so you almost can’t see it. This Seena figure is just how I imagined it to be. Great sculpt. The hair isn’t super detailed, but I really like how it shows the light breeze that’s blowing.

The NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind Blu-ray comes in a pretty exclusive box. There’s a guide book (in Japanese) included, but it’s very small. It’s like a match box. I think it’s a miniature version of a guide book that has been out before. I haven’t watched the Blu-ray yet, so I can’t say anything about the quality at this point. I might write a review of this edition when I’ve watched it.
