her face looks a tad strange from some angles, but other than that, i'd say its one of the cooler figures i've seen recently. and tornado in tokyo? i thought i'd be done with those once i leave kansas. >.>
No special technical name as far as I know, just Bowstring. She is nice, but looks a little plain to me. ^^; Maybe she looks better in real life, so to speak. I think I would choose Saika for a SFW figure; especial after looking at super rats latest photos. Tornados are quite rare there, aren't they? More odd weather. I just took the trash out and with the wind it's -34 C and it is snowing! Ugh!
If I wanted an archer figure, I'll buy the 1/8 Elwing figure that just came out. Anyway, Natalia doesn't look that bad though. Weather has been pretty weird in NYC. First it was cold, then warm, rain the next day, and cold again! I always step outside with the wrong clothes on because I neglect to check the weather.
i usually like figures when they're 1/7 or larger. >_> and the weather is horribly cold in Illinois.
That's a cool figure, a little plain i must say but i really like her pose. As for the weather, well i live in the caribbean so i don't have to worry about it changing too much, it's been pretty hot these days.
As an archer (but not the Archer) I tell you, Yep it is just a bowstring. Interesting side note she is holding the string traditional Japanese style using a special glove and her thumb. Western archers tend to use the first three fingers one above and two below the arrow nock.
I agree that the string does get in the way, the pose I like though. I wish the face were more moe though ^-^.
Here around Philadelphia (USA) for the past week we have seen really lovely weather, we flirted with around 24 Celsius, but now a system has moved in and we are gonna have a week of 2-4 Celsius -__-. Was really nice out a few days ago! I got to fly my 9 foot Delta Kite =) It was very windy, ominous of the incoming front.
Here in Northern California (Sacramento to be exact), the weather is pretty nice. It's been nothing but sunshine all week long so far. As for the figure, cute girl + weapon is always a good thing to me. The only problem I have with it is that wierd line going down the middle of the top of her head. I love the display base though.
This is my first comment Danny and since im still learning English, please bear with me ^^v Nice figure with an unusual pose combined together with your superb camera skills is excellent Danny, as always. As for the weather , here where I live in ( Jakarta ) its just a usual tropical weather...it gets hot until 2-3PM then suddenly out of nowhere came the rain for 1-2 hour.
haven't played Tales of the Abyss before but that's a cute character ^^ yesh, the bow string does gets in the way but i think that was intended by the sculptor and to the pose of the figure ^^

figure looks ok ....2 much clothes though!!
The figure is cute but I'm not very fond of that face. The weather here in Algarve has been great since it's the holy week (Easter), everything is filled with turists
She looked uber in your first pic. But her close up is kinda disappointing.
The weather is great today, thanks for asking. I love the pose on this sculpt. She's not sexy, which isn't a bad thing at all and is kind of cool really. I can tell the overall quality of the figure isn't great, but if the price is right I'd pick this up. The bowstring seems really long though.
There's something about the way they made the mouth that bothers me. I think they made her face a bit too chubby
We are having all kinds of weather TODAY, all kinds of option 3 weather... Fog, Snow Storm, Cloudy Overcast, Frigid Winds...in between snow storms, the sun would come out to tease you for a few minutes...
kool bow arrow fingy
this figure has great pose and nice movement/action. Oh and weather here? it sucks... still -4 C and we are in middle of apirl..

Cool, today I bought it, it is a really cool figure. Thanks for the great pictures, I can show the figure to people thanks to you (^_^).
