More figures have arrived in the past few months, and some figures that I’ve had since last year still remain unopened, in my closet. This is bad news. I’m obviously running out of room, and I need to make room as well as sell off some of the figures I have stored away and will probably never display again. It’s a shame because many of these figures are quite nice.
Estel Freesia
I never thought I would sell her so early. I obtained her less than a year ago. While she is one of the cleaner, neater looking figures, She didn’t make the cut, and am really strapped for space. Made by Kotobukiya, she stands 1:8 scale tall.
I really liked the simple shape and stature of her. She’s very “proper”. I know nothing else about her though. Since I’m at it, here’s a synopsis on her with my findings. She comes from a series called “Brighter Than Dawning Blue” (Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na). It seems she’s a very limited character that appears in the PS2 version of the game, and is some sort of religious and mysterious girl. That’s about all I can find, and all that I can really care about.
Her tunic is removable. Though I find the tunic design rather interesting.
Her features are rather interesting. It’s a very clean, symmetrical, near perfect sculpt.
Pretty good detail on that book too. The bracelets are also removable as well as the book.
That’s about it for her. She’s up for grabs for any readers who are interested in owning her.
That looks pretty good for Kotobukiya standards. Too bad you have to let this go. Even though I’m not a figure collector (2 scaled and 4 figmas), I understand the need of space as I have over 100+ of 1/144 scale tanks >_<
indeed too bad. =/ her eyes look weird though.
Q: Yeah, you’re all about the figmas and models. It’s good to have a hobby. 😀
She’s a very clean sculpt for a Kotobukiya figure. Her edges are sharp, her lines are clean, her surfaces are smooth, and her paint is also smooth. I haven’t seen a Kotobukiya figure look this good.
snipershibito: what’s so weird about her eyes? I think they look cute!
I love Estel. Bought her back in May last year. Influenced to after seeing her on DC lol. Same reason behind my buying Corti-chan. Was amazed by her zip…. so pretty…
Estel is lovely though. Simple, but cute pose. Nice detail, lovely acsessories.
@ meimi132: Looks like you got her at around the same time that I got her. She is indeed a very pretty figure.
I have her in my collection for almost 2 years now and most likely not letting her go.
I have Kotobukiya’s first Brighter Than Dawning Blue figure: Feena Fam Earthlight. Out of my Koto-collection, she’s definitely one of the best. Lovely sculpt, vibrant colors, and just a really cute overall design.
I wonder if they’ll do any of the other girls in the series?
You mean this one? http://dandan.gamers-fix.com/figures/images/feena03.jpg
Nah, that’s Atelier-Sai’s 1/6 Feena. Pretty sculpt…but Atelier-Sai’s quality is always disappointing. Though I hear Feena’s one of their better releases.
This is the Kotobukiya one:

yeah, Atelier Sai typically has pretty disappointing paint quality. Their sculpts are usually pretty good though, and their casting is better than Griffon.
I’m starting to get a little tired of Kotobukiya figures. They all seem to just … stand. Nothing really special about them. The only ones I’ve found more interesting lately are the Shining series from Kotobukiya.
I like the Feena though. She’s really cute.
