Maryan
Review of the absolutely gorgeous 1/8 scale Maryan Senpai from Kotobukiya - this particular version is the Magical Maryan version. Also just learned that there is a Metamorphosis version too thats out in May.
Been spending a load of time with comrades at Kotobukiya lately which could explain the sudden wall of SAFS in the office ^^;
This has to be one of the nicest Kotobukiya releases in my collection so far - paintwork, sculpt, dynamic pose and cuteness is just awesome.
The straw-look-alike thingy is supposed to be some sort of stardust swirling around her bod - you can see a better 2D version by hovering over the last thumbnail on this page.
Have not played the eroge ToHeart2 Another Days but I think that this version of Maryan is from that series.
Love this angle.
Nice Futomomo.
Futomomo [太もも] = thighs.
Nice Oshiri.
Oshiri [お尻] = bottom.
Hmmmm. Was going to teach you another word but I think I'll leave that to member Tenrou to teach you one day ^^;
Just love the pose - full of energy and vitality.
Genki ga Ippai [元気がいっぱい] = Full of energy/vitality.
Did I just hear a fart?
Onara [おなら] = Fart.
Small but well formed.
Pechapai [ぺちゃぱい] = small "eyes."
The swirly thing comes separate - you split her in half which enables you to stick the swirl in place.
Kawaii!
Not sure if it was needed but there are holes in her wrist and ankle with small slots that hold the swirl in place.
And cast off - she wearing a white sukumizu.
Sukumizu [スク水] = School Mizugi. Mizugi = Swimwear.
Nearly forgot - video from ToHeart 2 Another Days below - I think this is the opening from the eroge but not 100% sure.
Wouldn't you love to be bitten by her fang?
Do you have a fave ToHeart girl? Mines still Konomi-chan.
And the question I wanted to ask today - how many pictures do you prefer me to take for one figure review? I know some other folks only take a couple or so.
I do try to take shots from as many different angles as possible and if there are similar shots its because a small adjustment brings out a different look and feel to the shot.
Lovely paintwork and detail.
Folks in Japan can pick up Maryan from Amazon for 5,365 yen - free shipping to all parts of Japan.
This one in the Wallpaper Pool.
This is Maryan's new spot - my fave figures are placed closet to me. Do you arrange your figures the same way with your fave ones beside you?
When I'm not looking, Mirai Saber would pic up Maryan and play with her - Dollfie sized figure.
