We had a nurse two days ago and were moving on to meidos now.Hakufu is like Ryomou an alternate colored rerelease of Comic Gums Hakufu Pink Maid released in 2007.The sculptor is the same as the sweet Ryomou sculpt but Uchijima must have been on drugs or something i cant explain the result otherwise.The face of this figure is way of track and gives her a pretty stoned look.Maybe they gave her something to smoke to convince her to wear a meido outfit.I can live with the face tough but what really turned me off was the friggin HUGHE gap where her torso and pelvis connect.Its visible from miles away and i cant understand why they didnt fix it atleast for the rerelease.These are the times where i wish that the manufacturers wouldnt focus that much on cast-offability and more on the figure quality.A figure that isnt cast-offable wont make or break the deal, a hughe gap will.
Do you care about Cast-Off Ability?
The weird thing is that Uchijimas Kanu is flawless once again and Hakufu ends up as the black sheep of the series.The recently released Ringo from Yamato proves that Uchijima seems to know his work since shes a pretty good sculpt with amazing anatomical detail.The only thing Hakufu and Ringo share are the faces that are a bit off.Id really like to know why this sculpt turned out horrible it seems it isnt due to lack of skill…
The gap and the face made this figure very hard to photograph because you cant get a good angle without the gap or a weird looking face.Im sorry for the crappy pictures but i did my best!Hakufu features the mirror base for all the lazy pervs ou there that dont want to turn the figure around for a pantsushot.Her thigh highs feature a black dragon decal that looks pretty nice and the paintjob is alright even tough its not as good as Ryomous.The color choice for her outfit seems more reasonable than Ryomous: a classic glossy black and white.The color of her hair depends on your taste.I would have prefered her normal haircolor.
This Figure could have been a decentt/pretty nice one but due to some sculpting?/maunfacturing? faults its a medicore one at best.Take a look at the pics and judge yourself.
Ill buy a new background color soon! I swear!
- You cant imagine how i hate this gap
There must be a dress thief around…She also lost it while changing
- Atleast im able to stare at her butt all day long

Uhuu combat meidos!!!
Her stockings look nice but whats with this gap? oO
I don’t really care about castoff if I have the chance to have a beloved character in my room ^_^
hikkys last blog post..Yoko cancelled :’(
i like the reflective base. more figures should have it. (‘~’)
gordons last blog post..Life Before YouTube
hmm I must say i see it The same The castoff is optional i mean what do you want with a Figure you Can Make Completely Butt naked if you cant see a charakter in the Whole Pieces dont fit Thingy ? The overall Quality is much more important then some piece of skirt that can be removed ?
But i also must say if the Figurine is overall pretty a little cast off Doesnt Hurt ^^

Not a fan of Sonsaku, she’s probably one of the most annoying airheads in recent anime history (in my opinion from what I’ve seen of her). But, aside from that, this figure is ok… I like the dragons on the stockings, and… the maid outfit doesn’t look bad. Her hair looks fake though and I’m not too attracted to it overall.
Persocoms last blog post..Kanu Unchou Figma
Yeesh, nice cast but talk about a total miss on the face and hair. :/
I don’t like that cast much at all overall, I kind of wish they’d have taken the sculpt for another character and just popped Hakufu’s head off and replace it with another character. Then again, I don’t like Sonsaku at all as a character.
When you were saying ‘you hate that gap’, what gap was it exactly?
@Hikky
Melonpan would go crazy about her ^^
The Gap = FUGLY
@Gordon
And all the Otakus would have it atlot easier to sneak peek ^^
@PhilthyLizard
Figure Quality > Castoff all the way
@Persocom
Hakufu is my fav. Character besides Mou-chan in Ikki Tousen.I can understand why alot people dont like her and find her annoying.Im propably attracted to her because of these reasons.I cant stand Kanu…yet im also buying her figures…^^
@LenVesper
I ordered all 3 Girls back in Spring because i wanted to have the complete set but this figure was a BIG letdown.You own the Kanu of this series yourself and you should know that shes of quite good quality.I simply dont get it why Uchijima messed this one up.
Im refering to the place where her Upper body connects with the lower body.She has the same castoff mechanic as Kanu so youll have to take her upper body off to remove the skirt. Somehow Uchijima messed this up pretty bad because theres a hughe gap left in the area where both bodyparts connect.I simply cant understand why they even produced a figure with such a fault.And the worts part is that they could have atleast fixed it for the rerelease but they did it again…Its clearly not because of lack of skill because the other 2 figures look really nice :/
the dragon on her stocking looks awesome. ^^
I like dangerous maids. They are not ur usual maids. ^^
Optics last blog post..Energetic Suzu
that gap is an eye sore and the silver hair makes her look sick in my opinion
otaku dans last blog post..Child’s Play
Is there anything you can do about the gap? It surely sticks out like a sore thumb!
Btw nice reflective base lol. The manufacterer/designer did cared about their customers a bit in that aspect.
Qs last blog post..1/8 Max Factory Shana
@Optic
Sadly the dragons are the only thing looking good on her
@otaku dan
That was the first and last time i ordered a figure blindly
@Q
You could maybe try to cut off some of the PVC and hope that shell fit better into it but im not good at such things so i wont even try.
You only get these customer pleasing bases only with the alternate colored versions ^^
I like the pattern that’s on the socks. (: Also, seeing Hakufu in maid’s attire is an eye opener because I’m getting sick of seeing her in her school uniform. Still, I don’t like her holding that weapon because she does not have any customize weapon in the manga but then again it resembles that cover picture of her on volume 1 of the manga.
Hynavians last blog post..Little India – Rich in Indian Culture
I guess they thought it would look weird if shes the only one of the three without a weapon.Im still stuck with Vol1 of the Manga…So Expenisve… 10€ a Volume…:(
Google “Manga Fox” and head to that site to read the Ikkitousen series; they have till volume 12 there! (:
Hynavians last blog post..Dear Friends, I’m Doing Fine…
