Volks's 1/4 scale Kenshin

Posted by Tier [www] 

I've wanted this figure for a long, long time, and thanks to Yahoo Japan and a level of impulsiveness that would not be denied, I finally have her. Recast? Nope! This is the realness, one of Volks's prepainted A-Brand figures that they sold at various Wonder Festivals in times past. How good does she look? (Damn good.) How big is she? (Super huge.) How much did she cost? (More than I can bear.) How detailed is her anatomy? (Erm ...) Find the full answers to these burning questions in my full review!

One of the pictures below depicts the unclothed bottom of a pretty plastic anime lady. Apologies in advance if that sort of thing offends you.

    Wow, that's really, really expensive ;_; But also really well made so I guess it evens out? Only you know for sure ^^;

    Like I always say, if you love it then a price tag shouldn't come between you

    Interesting, I should do a few shots for my Kenshin then for comparison sakes. I have not seen the Volks version because it's expensive as hell. I only have the Gathering version.

      Yeah, I don't like the pointy helmet. I guess it's one of her trademark pieces of armor? I dunno. I think it looks pretty silly and Kenshin should look hot, not silly.

    Even though you paid a LOT for her at least it was worth it in the end. This is definitely something to be proud of. Don't ever regret it! :D

      Words to live by! Kenshin is totally worth it; money comes and goes but opportunities to get something like this don't come around very often. At least, I don't think they do; I don't know how to set up automated searches on Yahoo Japan like you can on eBay.

    Not bad :D Although her face isn't as cute as Kenshin's in game =/ If I'd be able to get an A-brand I'd prolly go for the Almost Naked Senhime or the Mid-casting Nanjo Ran

      Senhime's my favorite character from Sengoku Rance; I wish that Volks had made a 1/4 scale figure of her, too.

    Oh SNAP!! looks like 2 of us broke our bank balances last month!!
    Very happy to hear that you went for an original tho. If you really want something, then it's worth going the extra mile (or several in this case!)

    I'll be posting my aquisition a little later today. Not quite as much as Kenshin but then mine is unpainted...
