This figurine of Elwing is an absolute beauty by Kotobukiya. I’m excited to see all the photos I’m going to be able to take of her… I got her on helluva deal too!
Elwing here appeared on my doorstep in a paper bag not too long ago. She was sold by a local without a box for an extremely low price of $30. I wasn’t going to let that kind of a deal go, no matter how broke I am!
Though she didn’t come with her box, she is in perfect condition. Her original packaging wasn’t very impressive either so it didn’t bother me. For a 1/6 scale, she seemed rather tall. Her body is lifted by the balls of her feet and she arms are above her head, making her extra tall.
Her concept and illustration by Taka Tony is an extremely heavenly vision. No doubt I’m a big fan of his art style and the way he portrays the femininity of his girls. The pose she was in was ideal in a 2D picture but in 3D, it was difficult to find more than two angles that looked good.
Thus, I’ve only taken a few pictures and the actual colors of the figurine is quite over saturated and dull compared to the prototype pictures. Nevertheless, the sculpting was immaculate and I could have sworn her skin would be soft to the touch…

Only a few pictures but can’t wait to get more shoots done with her!
