Lovely figure but not too sure about the face. Did anybody pre-order this?

Not bad Not bad, i'll think about this one xD. Just pre-ordered the 大悪司土偶戦士セヤダ・タラ (Glowing Figure we all saw posted). Can't wait for it to come xD. Maybe i'll get this too and the other limited ed figs.

She comes with a set of translucent clothes right? Anything better than Sader or Q-Joy is good in my opinion LOL

only reason i didn't pre-order her is that she looks like she'll be a leaner for sure...

  Thats my only worry.... I hope she won't... I've been lucky so far with leaners. As in I have none.

I remember you mentioning the face back when this figure was first announced. And I still don't see what the problem is with it. I think the face looks great.

i agree with danny somewhat. the face looks...weird. not to say that it's a bad figure and all, but just...weird.

doesn't appeal me at all. maybe it's the biggie eyes!

I really like the face and I have wanted this figure for a bit.
The only thing that weirds me out is that weird dress that looks like it's made out of some sort of gross gel.
Thankfully it's removable ^__^

I think the reason I like this figure because it's pose is so awesome and I haven't seen many figures pose that way. Noice!

I've wanted this ever since I first saw it online somewhere. SO CUTE. And pink. And I likes her face. Nothing wrong with big eyes, big eyes are cute, like Tokyo Mew Mew big lol, only hers arn't that big. Just bigger than some.

I was tempted by this one, but resisted in the end, due to having been spending too much on figures lately and knowing absolutely nothing about who the character is. I quite like her facial expression though, one of the nicest things of the figure imo.

I didn't pre-order it. I think it is because it comes out at the same time as some other figures that I choose them over her^^

As for her figure, I find her very attractive. Although I have not heard about her from other places, I find her face cute enough but it will be better with the eyes looking other place.
