Karin

The yummy Karin from comrades at E2046. Sorry it took so long to get to reviewing her.

Rather gorgeous indeed. The only problem with this figure is deciding whether to pose her with her back facing you so you can see her lovely tush n tatoo....

Stuck a few in the Wallpaper Pool.

Folks interested in getting Karin can head over to E2046 - 140 USD and comes fully painted ready to play with out of the box.

Hair seams don't usually bother me too much but they could have done a better job on sticking some putty or something to cover it up before painting.

Unfortunately, her towel thingy is not removable - if you try to remove it, you will find two big holes in her eyes ^^;

This figure is based on the original art by Shunya Yamashita and you can find more from him at Sankaku Complex. Sankaku also have a few Shunya Evangelion figures up for a gander.

It's a shame the towel can't be removed but the figures itself makes up for it. It's just beautiful =3

The detail I have to say are really amazing!!!!!!!
I wonder what background you used for the first few pics Danny...I know other background is the mac screen...

Absolutely beautiful figure. The intricacy of the details, curvature of her body and pose, and color selection...all amazing.

haha, tramp stamp. I usually hate them, but this one i can stomach. maybe because this one is stamped on a really hot piece of sexy.

whoa nice figure. must find a way to get this one. was never into the shunya series because of the design that they have, with it being cropped off at the thighs.
this looks like a potential leaner tho? it there a metal rod in the leg that sticks to the base, danny?

This is a very nice figure, but way out of my price range. Otherwise, I would probably have a beautiful new addition to my very small collection on its way.

I like Shunya Yamashita's artwork, but I can't afford to be buying figures. And the hair seam is really a big turn off anyway.

it's true that not being able to take out the towel and that very noticeable hair line is bad, but she just looks so nice

Now that's a beauty, darn just looking at the tattoo makes me wanna work on mine. I'll think I'll do that early next year when my budget is back.

Out of my price range, but if I had it I'd like to pose it with the tattoo out...
Student
Nice figure, but sadly it out of my price range. But I really like the tattoo so maybe I will buy it.

some Shunya Yamashita figures are so pretty & exotic! :) really love them, but their prices are quite ex / higher than other figures though :( since its not on my budget, i have to let them go, ughuu.
Love the background of the picture, I suppose is the mac wallpaper? :D no wonder the photos look pretty cuz of the background effect too hehe
Woah! That looks awesome!

That figure is not worth 140$. You can't put that price on one just because is based on yamashita's art.

Quite sexy indeed, although 140$ is a bit high priced for my taste ^^;

If it's not castoffable, it is NOT worth 140 bucks period.

Lovely figure, great sculpt and looks like an amazing paint job. The price is alas a bit steep for me. ^^;;
Oh, and about the dilemma of posing her with front or back to you, if you put her in a display case with a mirror back or put her somewhere in front of a mirror/reflective surface you will be able to admire both sides. ^^

the tattoos are much more sharper here though the bust version is mellower and much realistic with the skin just a bit blurry though
she's a nice figure alright :D
say, can anyone tell me if she's really shiny or plastic-y in finish? Danny's pics kind of show some sheen on her sin rather than it being matte?
http://flickr.com/people/byakuchan
I wish Koto made a full figure of her instead of that bust. She's gorgeous, and I daresay e2046's painting looks better than the quality of the Koto Shunya busts.

It's really expensive, but it's a very high quality figure.
It's a shame about the hair line, especially for a figure at this quality.
I will never forgive stuff like this for a figure at this price. (very expensive indeed)

doesnt he have a canon kiss 2 or something like that. I order my canon xsi (same thing but USA ver) and was sent the 450D (UK ver). so I'm pissed and waiting on my refund of my return. Otherwise I could be producing some really sweet shots, like Danny's.
very nice & sexy figure.

Nicely done.
But I definitely won't spend 140 USD for something not made in Japan. ^^
Your local Otaku Cashier.
That is one fine figure. I wouldn't mind having it (and posing it sideways, that way I get the tattoos and the eyes). One thing I noticed was that she is held up only by half her foot. Won't this cause some leaning over time? If it costs as much as it is, I hope they used something to help fight that problem.
Web & Print Designer
Its definitely a different type of figurine or maybe diff. type of character, lack of clothing aside she is really elegantly designed, i love the tattoo's on her body and the overall design quality, with the exception of that slightly off hair seem on top of her head but i can get used to it. lol!

I thought the base was kind of blah as well, but the addition of legs to the original cold cast bust really made this figure a must-get for me. I love the stylistic changes from the original bust, especially the panties. Could take or leave the tramp stamps, but that's my personal taste.
