REVIEW - NISHIKINO MAKI SIF Ver by ALTER

-1/7 西木野真姫 アルター-

Hello World!
Yes!! On last Friday, I had Finally received my 1/7 Nishikino Maki by ALTER!!
As usual, I will give my own reviews on this.
Not Pro Photographer, nor have any Pro Equipment. It's just sharing of what I love, my hobby. :D

Front

Rear

Side. Very nice photo of the product. If only I could shoot this kind of quality photo.
Quite surprise that this time ALTER didnt use its usual clear pp box. 
This is the common paper type box. But the design is great, simple and clean.

Alright, Let's get into the kit!
Front. 
Look at this Quality. I cant believe this is still MIC.

The Veil is Amazing. The wavy form lets you feel like it's really made of cloth.

Rear

Without Veil. Yea, the Veil is removable as it just sits on top of her head with any connecting joints. It is the magnet that's in the hat that stay the Veil to the head.

I actually prefer without the Veil, because I could see the entire back of her. Awesome.

Without Hat and Veil. It may seems weird to say this to a figure, but.. she is simply too beautiful.

Base. Sweet and Simple Design. I like it.

Alright, It's time for Close-up Shots!! XD

Fishnet Stockings! Unfortunately, this isnt made of cloth. XD These are just Decals.

Do someone actually wears a blouse that's almost transparent?
It's Clear Part!

I'm sure clear parts are the trend of figurines market now.

I dont hate it. :D

Awesome metallic painted heels

The laces are stunning

Cute simple hat

The body line of her is Wonderful. Good Job ALTER!

Maki-chan is really the fusion of Cute and Cool.

The proportion of her is Amazing. It really just brought the 2D Drawing into Life in 3D. The eyes are Well Done. Not much company is able to produce the "eye contact" feel in a figure.

Concluding with a low overal shot. 
This figure is really a worth. The Finishing, Painting and the Quality are Superb! Simply Amazing.

WELL DONE ALTER!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra!

There's one Surprise I guess everyone didn't expected until they gotten theirs. 
LED Gimmick!!! 
ALTER didn't mention even once about this!!

OMG. This is just too Gorgeous.
Great Job ALTER.

Another Amazing work by ALTER. 
Photos cant tell every things. If you have the chance to get one, please take your time and get a good look of her. She's so pretty that I couldnt bring out all of her in photos.
You wont Regret of getting her. I could ensure.
haha. I'm too excited about this. Because she's a special character to me. 
Guess it's weird to say this to a fiction character.

Lastly, I would like to thanks to the Sculptor and the Finisher who make this Wonderful Figure to us.

Credits to
Sculptor(原型) = Makio Munetoshi (槙尾 宗利)
Finisher (彩色) = Tetsumori Nanami (鉄森 七方)
and of course the workers that Mass-produced these.

*Btw, MIC = Made in China

REVIEW - NISHIKINO MAKI SWIMSUIT Ver by ALTER

~ ALTER 西木野真姫 水着Ver ~

Hello World!
Direct to topic, I will be having a review of my latest scale figure, Nishikino Maki Swimsuit ver by ALTER.

Front
Neat and well designed Clear Case as usual from Alter

Rear

having her signature printed on the Clear Case

Well protected with plastic sheet

Base
Title as main with some hexagon patterned details

Let's get into the Figure
Starting with a turn for a overall view

and let's go into the close ups
a one significant charming point of the swimsuit
Big and Cute Ribbon with well Gradation Painted

frills of the skirts and the under are well painted too
No worries, it's Swimsuit!

Necklace made by Clear Parts

a Thumb up for the Flower Accessory as well

Cute hood

not forgetting the details under the jacket

While you thought the jacket is able to cast off... nah. it's sticked together

Seems Perfect.
But this will never the case. as these are hand made mass production items. 
They couldn't be 100% perfect. 

Paint bleed at the bead 

Glue bleed - the Glossy line

 Parting line not 100% cleaned yet

A spot at the tip of the hair rubbed away
most probably there is a friction between it and the hood during assembly

Though you may think they are negligible, they are still consider as defects.

However, it's still far more better than many other companies.
Even though it's Made in China, the Quality is still high.
Well Done ALTER.

Well.. Let's get back to the photos
With some lower angled view!
Frills on the jacket
look at that bodyline and you will know how pro the sculptor is

Comparison with the Original Illustration. 
Almost Perfect. The only different is the eyes viewing direction.
Original Illustration looking straight, while the Figure is looking side

Overall, this is really a worth.
As a LoveLiver, a Maki-Chan Fan, and a fan of the company ALTER.
I really love this Figure. I just can't leave my eyes away from it.
Satisfaction 10/10
Well Done ALTER. Thank you ALTER.

This concludes my Review of NISHIKINO MAKI SWIMSUIT Ver by ALTER.
Thanks
