From the “So cool it must be posted” department
This statue of Tokiko from the Anime Busou Renkin is just about one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Probably one of the most impressive looking figures that I’ve seen, if you cancel out any of the perfect grade models (which you need to be insane to build)
The author of the review (linked below) seems to be the hardest person to please in the entire world.
Takiko takes a rather stoic pose, with hands by her side and feet spaced apart - the pose of power. It’s only natural that with her skirt, her arms don’t really move all that much. Her left closed fist creates an impression of power while her right openly-stretched fingers show the attribute of control. Her hips are slightly leaning to the left and I don’t like this. I would’ve preferred a symmetrical foot placing. Anyway, she’s stable enough to stand without her base, especially with her weapons supporting.
Her base is an enlarged version of her kakugane (core metal), the origin of her power. I don’t like it because the cheap gray finish and ugly hexagon design (Watsuki’s fault) is so gaudy. The base has two plugs, one for each of her feet.
Either that or I might be the easiest person to please in the entire world. You decide and leave a comment stating your opinion!
no, i agree - it’s pretty damn cool. check out Southern Island’s Edward and Alphonse Elric - pretty badass
