Kotobukiya Shining Blade Airy Ardet Review

Haven't do any review for a while again, have been busy. Finally got some time to open a new figure to add to my collection. This time, another figure from the Shining Series!! I am a huge fan of the Shining Series, I have all their games and most of their figures. This is my 29th figure from the Shining series. May be one day I will take pics of everything.

First of all, the package of coz! It is Beautiful !!!! Also box size is very good. There are not wasted space, very Highly collectable box!

Left and Right of the box, It has cut out symbol for the window display is pretty cool.

The back of the box is beautiful! Nice photos of Airy.

This is the unbox, The inside of the box is interesting too, you can see the cut out.

The close up for the figure unboxed. As you can see, there is no wasted space in there but it has maximum protection.

The breads and the basket is very high in details.The breads are pretty heavy and solid too.

There are actually too much breads for the basket...lol.

There are plastic warp around the lower body to protect against print rub. Very nice pantsu...=D.

Front view without the basket. Everything is very detailed!!

Front view with the basket and breads inside it. The breads keep falling out when I try to move to another location.

The left side of the figure.

The Right side of the figure.

The back of the figure. Airy stand at 8" tall and 9" tall with the base. This is a 1/8 scale figure.

The base is pretty cool, a lot better than the past Shining series figures. The past ones only has one tone color base. This one has some kind of wood texture on them.

A close up to Airy's upper body and face.

The Details of the outfit and everything is so nice!.

Final Review:
Box Art : Kotobukiya usually have really clean and beautiful design, also box size usually really good. Highly collectable.
Score : 9/10

Extra Parts included : Breads and Basket, I am ok with that, due to the figure design from the original art is like that, there is no room for other extra parts.
Score : 8 /10

Figure QC : Kotobukiya usually has the highest degree of QC. Every single figure I got from them are perfect.
Score : 10/ 10

Articulation : NONE, is a Statue.
Score : - /10

Figure Design : First appeared from Shining Heart, I always like her and hoping someone made a figure of her and there she is! Howerver, the design and the character art is from Shining Heart not Shining Blade, not sure why they put Shining Blade on it...Beautiful figure, almost exactly like the original art design by Tony Taka.
Score : 9 /10

Price : Price is ok, not too bad, $69.99 - $80, most PVC figure cost that much now day
Score : 8 / 10

Overall : A very beautifully made PVC figure!
Score : 8 / 10
