Niniane: Toxic

"A true Lady Of The Lake, her name is taken from the entity that delivers Excalibur in classic Arthurian legends."

Ninniane by Shunya Yamahista

This one really appeals to me because I'm a fan of the color scheme black and red, and some hint of silver or metal in it. So this girl is instant win (for me) because of that. In addition to this, her name almost sounds like the number "9" (my fave number).

Anyway, moving on. She is cold to touch because she's made of cold cast porcelain. That means she can break and shatter to pieces when you drop her to the floor unlike PVC figures. That's the downside to it, but then again figures like this withstand harsher temperatures. I actually prefer figures that are not made of PVC such as them being made of cold cast porcelain, polystone and resin. PVC tends to soften when the room temperature is warm therefore making figures more prone to slanting because of their stance.

When you see her up close, you'd notice the blush on her face which breaks the simplicity of her ensemble. (that's because she's not wearing anything other than her armguard and pantsu)

The craftsmanship on this particular figure makes me want to get the other members of Shunya's bust set. (Noel, Shion, Rachelle, etc) The paint job is very clean and I found no rogue artifacts in between the grooves of the sword. :]


Maxicollector will be having her soon~ ^_^



<sub>PS: No digital color enhancements. :]
