New Figma Kagami!

My pride and joy, figma Kagami, has arrived ^^

This was sitting on my desk when I got home! (Onee-chan stuck the little note on the box.)

First look inside the box.

Bubble wrap (will have fun popping that later).

Another layer... it's just like pass the parcel...

...but no parties I ever went to had a prize this good in the middle of the parcel.

Kagami - in all her figma glory.

She's even cuter close up!

Back of the box ^.^ pics include the well known pose from the Lucky Star OP/dance.

Let's get her out of there...

Here I have removed the backing cardboard, which was like a little backdrop and featured Kagami, Tsukasa and Konata.

As you surely already know, figmas come with a plastic pouch for all the bits and extra pairs of hands - how handy! =P

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Phew, it sure is good to be out of that box.

Easy now...

Success! Kagami is free and ready to Rock the Casbah...

What have you found there?

Nyan nyan! Aaahh the joys of swapping hands...

o.O

The sticker for the little book wasn't quite the right size/shape no matter how I angled it, so I just cut it to size with scissors.

When the hands are stuck onto the book, the sticker bunches up just a tad. That can easily be fixed by cutting out a small section of the sticker for where the hands go ^^ Although I must say, I would have expected (particularly for a figma) that the book cover was already printed/painted onto the plastic. The sticker kind of reminds me of the toys in Kinder Surprise.

Now that she's free, what shall Kagami do next?

What's that in the distance?

...aah now we can see it!

What a lovely afternoon it is today in Sydney... Kagami's new home! (Should be quite a change from Japan)

Kagami takes some chillax time...

"Bye-ni!"

All-in-all, my Kagami is just as great as I’d expected! Other than the small faults I mentioned, the paint job is lovely, the joints move well, and she looks great standing next to my laptop ^-^
