Frilly Figure Review#06: Black Rock Shooter Black Blade Ver.

Welcome again to another figure review. It's a relatively new figure & I made a stupid mistake and didn't pre-order her. I ended up going through play-asia and paying around $120. 2 days later I found out AmiAmi restocked on her for half that price. Regardless..I believe she is worth the hefty price tag. Sorry if this review comes out a bit choppy, I'm kind of drunk haha.

Final Thoughts/Review:

• Sculpt: 10/10
• Painting: 10/10
• Base: 7/10
• Packaging: 8/10
• Enjoyment: 9/10
• Total Score: 44/50

This figure really is well made. The design,paint and pose all work very well together. I wish they used the same base as the first version but it's just a little thing. I watched the OVA...it was okay but the delicious hanazawa kana voice made it watchable.  You don't have to be a fan of the animation in order to appreciate this cool character design. So if you like anorexic girls with leather jackets and blue hadouken eyesockets, this is your new religion.
