Elwing by Kotobukiya

Elwing by Kotobukiya
Elwing has been resting on my shelf since I collected her on the 16 June '08 (right after my exams.. thats how busy I was...)

1/8 scale of ELWING, from Shining Wind x Tears, Manufactured by Kotobukiya.

Kotobukiya's been able to capture my taste so far... I was so tempted to get Blanc Neige or even Mao because of their beautifully designed costume, save for them being non-archers that prevented me from ordering them.Right-side of box...
Hind-side of box...
Left-side of box... (for a comparison of boxes, see Kotobukiya's Kureha here, GoodSmile's Kureha here, and GoodSmile's Mina Majikina here.)

Took her out of the box...

Removed the plastic encasement...
Elwing's properly wrapped up in plastic protectant sheets... every delicate parts...

Even across her chest...

and her hair... took me a while to carefully remove all of them...
