I was a little worried when reading the comments about how her face looks, as a lot of people have complained about that. When I opened the box, I noticed that the design is a bit closer to what the character looks like in the source material of the adaptation (manga) than what style Silverlink and most fanart has adopted.

Another 1/7th scale Kurumi figure has landed in my collection. This time dressed in kimono. As soon as I saw it, I just couldn't resist and it immediately ended up in my shopping basket. The figurine was priced at ¥20000, and the quality of workmanship leaves no doubts that it is worth the price.

This time I decided to review two figures from the To LOVEru series because they were both released as Pop Up Parade and come from one - let's call it a collection (swimsuits). The Pop Up Parade figures are very popular due to their price, which is often lower than those released as Prize. It should be obvious that at such a price range you will not get anything outstanding with detail, meticulously performed quality control or detailed painting.

Another Mikan figure in my collection. This time in a 1/7 scale sold under the F:NEX brand (owned by FuRyu). After purchasing it, I read the comments about it and noticed that quite a few people complained about the quality of the paint job. To be honest, I haven't noticed any defects or badly painted parts.
