@optic she does have some nice pantsu. it’s too bad her arms aren’t cast off to display her in full pantsu mode. if she was cheaper or the cast-off was fully implemented i think i woulda been satisfied, but alas ^^;

A big sexy figure but the flaws are kind of a stand out. Her big toe got me raising my eyebrows as well. :/
Despite the flaws, she is a nice figure overall. For the price, I don’t find it’s worth it but it’s expected for a scale of this magnitude.
Nice shots. ^^
Panstu FTW!!! ^_^

@q thanks! not sure i understood your comment about scale… but if i had to guess i’d say scale selection is probably a combination of business, and artistic considerations… from a business aspect, the larger figures cost more and limit the target market, while smaller figures are generally cheaper and more accessible. Artistically I think larger figures are better suited to figures with lots of detail since the sculptor has more room to get all the little things in. however, if the original character art isn’t very interesting, a big figure can just leave you a boring hunk of pvc. …but yeah, i’m obviously no professional sculptor so who knows how they actually decide ^^;

@blowfish no problem ^_^ i still don’t know much about how lenses work so i should probably read up more on what the macro setting is actually doing and how I should adjust when using it ^^;

ah yes, might be common knowledge, but i’ll thow it out there just in case – i also use the delay setting so that i can press the button and get my hand off the camera so it’s absolutely still when the photo’s actually taken.

@sonic_ver2 ah good catch… yeah the skin wasn’t anything special for me either, though i do prefer it to the kurushima kanu ^^; (so pale! orz)

..and delicious is an excellent way to describe her ^_^

I never liked Kotobukiya’s figure skin. They never made somewhat realistic skin, unlike Alter ad GSC.

But one thing for sure, Chizuru is definitely sexy, especially with that big boobs and nice butt. It must be delicious XD.

Ahh a tripod and long exposure?
Thanks for the lenghty reply.I have absolutely no idea about camerasettings and the book i bought some time ago rendered pretty useless to me since it focuses more on Ebay pics when it meant macro Photography :/

I think ill spend a few bucks on a tripod and try to take my next shots with a similar setting like yours

Nice shots!

Didn’t think that the shirt was cast-offable at first, but looking at those seam lines makes me understood (but it didn’t make it look as pretty). I kinda find it strange as for why they chose 1/5 and other common scales, but I guess figures are quite flexible on that aspect then?

@james that is absolute insanity. it also makes the collections of french figure fans that much more impressive ^^;

@gordon yeah, i think the slight difference in color may have been exacerbated by the angle/lighting. luckily it’s not really noticeable from a normal viewing distance.

a free cushion. nice.

and yes the toes does look odd? is it because of the angle at which the pic is taken?

For each 1/8 figure (at least 80 % of them) , i have to pay 50 dollars to the transporter . Yes you read right , for ONE figure . Just to pay the taxe for getting in the stupid country .

Consider yourself lucky ^^
