Combining two awesome things should theoretically end up as ONE AWESOME THING in capital letters, but reality has proven that this easy formula isnt as easy as it seems.Turning a boobielicous re-imagination of Ikki Tousen`s Fetish Queen Ryomou Shimei by Shunya Yamashita into a figure seems like no brainer but did the calculation add up?
Check it out after the Jump!
It is no secret that I am a pervert like boobs scantily clad babes girls with malfunctioning clothes strong girls with luscious curves that show that theres nothing more graceful than kicking your preferably buff and male opponent`s face to the curb while beeing naked and flashing everything.Ive gotta thank Japan for showing me the right path to ascend from trivial worldly matters such as sexism to see the big picture: Japanese Men are just a bunch of pervs.
Ryomou Shimei has always been my favorite girl from the Ikki Tousen franchise.Lets be honest how can a Rei Ayanami Clone with psychopathic tendecies and a cosplay fetish not find approvement by the male population?Shes become more tame during the progressing story but nevertheless shes still my number one girl from the franchise.
Out of all the illustrators living in glorious Nippon,there has always been one that touched my heart in a very special way: Shunya Yamashita.Theres just something about the characters curves and faces that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.ShunYama has the tendency to pick some of my favorite Game/Anime Babes and to give them a make-over in his own style.Morrigan? Check! Cammy? Check! I-No? Check! Rei Ayanami? Check!
Its only natural that our Rei Clone joins the ranks of her big sister and gets the same treatment as her.The Result is as expected breathtaking and turns her into a very sensual girl that nevertheless kicks ass.I couldnt find an image of the illustration among the usual imageboards so ill just refer to the offical site.
After Daiki Kougyou announced that theyre gonna release the limited to 40 pieces Garagekit as a PVC figure I had to change my pants.She became my number one priority to acquire in an instant and I preordered her approximately 3 seconds later in my dirty pants.I already missed out on Daiki`s Miko Kanu and there was no way that Im going to risk to miss out on her.Daiki announced two alternate versions a few weeks later with one traditional faced Ryomou and her 7th grader Version with long hair.As much as I find Junior High Ryomou charming theres just the ShunYama Touch missing and the regular faced Ryomou simply defies the purpose to buy a Shunya Yamashita figure.
My experiences with figures above the 100€ mark were a rather mixed experience,ranging from great to absolutely horrible.Naturally I was more than thrilled to see what quality Daiki Kougyou delivers since their quality seems to be rather inconsistent.There are awesome figures like their Miko Kanu and rather mediocre niche figures that have one thing in common: a high price.
At first I wasnt really impressed with her but she really grew on me after further inspection.
The Colour Palette is rather muted with alot of emphasis on the contrast of black and white with a hint of colour through the bright red ribbons aswell as her purple boots/gloves.Those splashes of colour really help to keep a nice balance between dull and colourful but doesnt make her stand out like flashy paintjobs by other companies.Dont get me wrong the paintjob is great and they even paid great detail to small details like Shunyas Trademark Lips or her mole but it simply isnt jumping right into the eye.Shading is done nicely giving the figure alot of depth making the paintjob a very nice piece of art.
The Overall sculpting is great and the transition from illustration to 3d went very well.Her curves are still dangerous,her lips full and her eyes still inviting but most importantly: shes one of the few non-trashy Ikki Tousen Figures .Alot of detail went into the sculpting of the creases and folds in her clothes to underline the turning motion of her torso and I am more than delighted to say that they also paid full attention to the ones in her pantsu.When talking about pantsus we also must talk about butts and oh my god what a butt she has.This has to be the most delicious butt in my entire collection and I love how the pantsu cuts into her tender meat XD.
This is a figure that asks to be displayed in cast off mode but this is a part where the sculpt could have been improved.Theres a more than small gap between her torso and legs thats luckily only seen when beeing looked at from ground floor or below.Since the figure ask to be displayed slightly below the viewer to make full use of its captivating eye its a rather minor fault but a faut nevertheless.
While talking faults I should also talk about two things that are probably unique to my figure and cant be attributed to the whole lot.When I unpacked Mou-chan I was greeted with her left underarm falling off the figure.Seems like the factory worker was too busy admiring her butt to properly glue the arm into place.A little glue fixed the problem in no time and she was good as new.I found it rather amusing that the figure stays in character and gets hurt like the real thing though ^_^
The other fault,if you wanna even call it a fault is that the decal of her eyeball is loacted a little bit more left-upwards then the normal cast.This makes the eye look a lil bit weird from certain angles but the mislocation is only a few milimeters and not that bad.
The last thing I wanna mention is that her inner thighs had some white smudges ( ^^;;;) from her pantsu but those could be brushed away with a finger without sweat.Sadly I only noticed them in the pictures and I was too lazy to redo those.
Long Story Short: I love this figure

As you can see I am using a new lighting setup with Photobulbs with 5400 K.The funny thing about this is that they are so much more powerfull than my 60 Watt Daylight bulbs with only 25 Watt.I still need to get used to it and some pictures are quite overlighted especially in the head area.I wonder if I should use a Diffusor for the Head light or just try around with it more.Any Help is appreciated
