Koakuma Rias-chan – 1/6 – Original Character (Bishop’s Rondo, 2020) – My Comment
Introduction
The figurine was created based on an illustration by Ayuma Sayu. Koakuma Rias-chan. It is an original design by this artist. The manufacturer is Bishop’s Rondo, a company mainly engaged in transferring original figures into 3D form in the form of high-quality figurines.
Workmanship
Speaking of quality, there are a few details to pay attention to in this case. When it comes to figurines in this price range, quality control should stand at a very high level. Here, however, something has gone wrong. On the one hand, the whole thing impresses with attention to detail, great sculpting and painting with good shading. On the other hand, you can see a lot of tiny damages and (in my case) one quite serious one. A scratch on her thighs. Although it is not visible if all the clothes are put on, but when putting the whole thing together it was very glaring to my eyes.
The worst thing is that this is not an isolated case. In the comments (for example, on My Figure Collection) quite a few people complain about similar defects. Some were not as lucky as I was. In their cases the larger damage was in much more visible places. As for the fit of the elements and the quality of the base – here I can complain about absolutely nothing. All clothing pieces, accessories and attachment to the stand were made with adequate precision. There is no problem with attaching anything.
Other remarks and summary
It’s also worth mentioning that after removing Koakuma Rias-chan from the box, you have to unfold it all and pull out the protective films. This requires delicacy and patience. The end result is well worth it.
In conclusion – if the quality control had not failed, I could recommend it to any collector wholeheartedly due to its brilliant value for money. In the case of this particular figure, however, it is literally a lottery. There are certainly flawless copies. There is just no guarantee of getting just one. Nevertheless, the figure looks simply marvelous. Just take a look at some of the photos I’ve included below to see the attention to detail and precise painting.
