Sonic Diver
Haruhi kidnaps Otoha and takes her Reijin for a spin.
For those who don't know, this green thingy is an exoskeleton known as a Sonic Diver. This one in particular is piloted by Otoha from the anime Sky Girls or as some folks prefer to call the anime - "Sky Lolis."
Do check it out if you have not seen it. The girls are gorgeous (my fave is Eika) and the battle scenes are rather coolsome.
The OVA is rather good too - 30 mins packed with loli battles.
Reijin is manufactured by Freeing and released by GoodSmile.
Now just because I get figures for free, it does not mean I'm going to give them all glowing reviews.
While Reijin looks decent in the photos, the quality is well below what you would normally expect from Freeing given their excellent Haruhi Bunnies.
Most of Reijin is color injected plastic and looks like unpainted Gunpla - will probably look excellent after a sand down and a lick O paint.
Rejin transforms into the different modes that you see in the anime. Transforming is a pain and could not be bothered so check out the other modes at Akiba Hobby if you are interested ^^;
Rejin comes with a mixture of ABS and PVC plastic. Apart from the head, the rest of the body is well articulated.
My Figma Haruhi is starting to loose color in the hair due to me carrying her around everywhere. Luckily I received a spare one ^^;
One annoying thing - the gun and sword can only be carried in the right hand because there is a knob on the handle.
Which is your fave Sonic Diver? I prefer Eika's Raijin - its those guns on the shoulders.
Haruhi is bigger than Otoha so I need some Blu Tac to keep her in place.
One of these in the wallpaper pool.
And for those who was wondering where Otoha was...
The quality of Otoha is pretty appalling - check closeup pic at AkibaHobby.
I'm thinking of making some exoskeletons or mecha for Mirai and Haruka - what would you prefer the girls to have?
Maybe inking the panels would make it look better too.
Anybody else already made the purchase for Reijin?

Some pics of X-Yuki thrown in "for the lulz" as they say.
The X unit thingy fits perfectly in the hole behind the Figmas.
The pack comes from GFF 0033 Gundam X.
