Shiny hair but does not look too bad in the flesh. Interesting how they made her hair so that it can fan out on both sides. Looking forward to the black haired version too.
Anybody order this?

    Wow they're doing interesting stuff with the hair. Back when I was a kid I had a Wonder Woman figure and tried to turn her head, but her hair was solid and stuck to her neck. So since I was a kid, I can't help but keep trying... until I snap the head off the neck...

    I can't wait to see how this one is like. It's on pre-order, but it's also waiting for more orders to be in stock so it can be shipped together.

    nice, but too bad the face is really really off. with the plethora of shana-merchandise, especially anime figures... it's pretty bad for anyone to create a version with a non-accurate (or even non- good looking face), even if it is a figma.

    Well, I ordered a number of the Black Haired version. Me thinks I can use this stand for my Konata figma!

    Didn't pre-order the normal version, though will definitely be picking it up at one of my local stores.

    Depending on the angle and pose, her neck sticks out too much.

    It's not too bad though. But I aready have a couple of Shana figures, so I'm holding up.
    There are just 2 Shana figures I'd buy instantly right now... the black haired Nendoroid with nekomimi, and the one she's holding a melon-pan using school uniform.

      Can't speak on the Nendo since I don't have it, but the Figma Miku's totally worth it. Just be sure to clear a larger-than-usual spot on your shelf; her pigtails are pretty massive relative to her body. XD

    Something odd with the face sculpt...abit too wide eyed? i wish that they could do something about the hair to make it either less heavy or more flexible though...i realise with long hair the figma figures are imbalanced and are quite abit harder to pose.

    Payed for mine at hlj just yesterday. Though i must say, the face looks a little odd. I'm sure she looks better in person.
