The spiral is pretty interesting, reminds me of a watering hose.
Cute figure but not really my type.

I really like this figure, but I don't like the spiral going around her.

Cool spiral. Her costume looks like a cheerleader's though... Save the cheerleader, save the spiral.

Face is super kawaii! The spiral does look weird, but I always appreciate an attempt at some more aesthetically pleasing ways to make a figure stand up properly.

Where ever she's from, it doesn't look very impressive. I would expect the tube thing to glow in the dark though. That would be cool.

I really love Magical girls.. though I don't have much money to spare on figures, since I focus on Gundams which are cheaper ^^. Maybe someday I'll buy her and make my figure collection slowly grow..
