Very cute up n coming figure from Kotobukiya. This is her 2D rendition. Want.

Original text from ELTboy below.

ShineNa Blog has the painted prototype figure of Chiari from Shining Wind up.

Looks lovely. I haven't been collecting Shining Wind figures but most of those by Kotobukiya has been of excellent quality.

Chiari your type of figure? Certainly for me, she might just be my first figure from the series.

Lovely figure. Kotobukiya does a good job at producing Shining series characters.

No word on pricing and availability yet?

My knowledge of Shining Wind is limited to the numerous T2 artworks. The archer one is the best looking in my opinion.

Very cute, very sweet. Love her staff. And her thigh high garter stockings!

On the other hand, another Shining Wind? lol. It's like To Heart figures. And Ikki Tousen. Many-many released. Sounds like I'm complaining doesnt it... when I love To Heart.... and alot of the Shining Wind/Tears.... I'm not complaining lol. Really.

Nice looking figure. For some reason, it looks bigger than Kotobukiya's usual 1/8 scale, so I'm curious if it's just me or if it actually is bigger.
