Thank God that today is an holiday!Finally some time to do one of my long awaited figure shoots.My first target is a charming Wolf that knows quite a bit about dirty business tactics and not so much about love.Lets check out the Wise Deity Wolf!
It seems that everyone loves the tale of a merchant and his non-chalant companion since the Anime did pretty well and the second season is juts around the corner.The Anime is actually based on a Light Novel and the Art Direction of both differs a bit.If you are interested in seeing a PVC Rendition of the LN Horo be sure to check out Optics Review.GSC are the first to release a PVC figure of the Anime Horo as far as I know and they already went all out and made the most customizable figure in my collection.Pants?Ears?Hat?Dress? You can mix everything to your liking but we all know that the only true way to display Horo is with her Wolf Ears 
The Castoff mechanism is pretty well hidden but as always with castoff it would have looked better without it.Thats the price you gotta pay for beeing customizable
The downside of the whole thing is that shes quite expensive for such a small figure but the execution of the figure is top notch as expected of GSC.The only thing that isnt up to GSC`s reputation are her ears: they need some gentle force to slide into her head.Meronpan pointed out that her face is slightly off with her chinline beeing a little bit too round in contrast to her relatively sharp chin in the anime.im not really concernd by this and to be honest I didnt even notice until ive read meronpans post.
This shoot proved rather critical since i nearly lost one of her ears during it.One of her ears managed to sneak out of her package and I luckily noticed this when i was on my way home.Im glad i still remembered the place where I (un)-boxed her and the ear lied there in the grass.Doing Outdoorshoots with figures with many parts is quite thrilling ^^;;
I cant wait to see the new season and Id like to read the LightNovels to further dive into the Spice and Wolf Universe.Does anyone know if theres an english release of the LN?
It was really enjoyable to read the Kino no tabi Light Novel and i bet its the same with Spice and Wolf
This reminds me that one of the dominant languages in Spice and Wolf seems to be German.Its always a joy to see my mother tongue appear in Animes ^^
GSC did include an Cast-off sheet unlike some other company *cough* Megahouse*cough*
