~Sumomo Akihime 「Nanatsuiro Drops」 秋姫すもも~

It wasn’t a great anime by many people’s standards, but oddly enough, I really liked the anime and enjoyed it thoroughly (note: this is why I can never blog about anime, I’d like everything -_-”). Had the version of Sumomo in her school uniform and it wasn’t till lu-k unleashed this awesome pictorial did I realize this version was available too. I’d have to say thanks to him as well for burning up the fire inside me to indirectly get back into gaming (never realized limited edition games (JP) had so much cool stuff! :p)

Now, how many ways do I like this figure? It’s by Good Smile, it’s very nicely finished, it’s Sumomo, and so much more :p Heck, she even has a belt over her chest that was all the rage in Disgaea boards about female warriors ^^;

The figure arrives with the white chunk of plastic attached to it’s foot, in which you attach to the base itself. Not much worries of leaning for me as the legs feel really solid, and being Good Smile, I’m not going to waste much time wondering whether she’ll lean.

Sumomo is just too cute. Too cute I say.

Funny how something looks so good on a figure but ends up looking horrible on real people :p Have seen in a magazine some instructions on making Sumomo’s hat and costume and wow. What a disaster, heh.

Interesting design for her staff. And actually believable as well since it IS used to scoop stuff.

I really like the design, elaborate but yet somehow doesn’t overwhelm.

Paint job is excellent all around, lines are all clean, even her buttons are done nicely.

I really like the frills on the little bit of her skirt. It’s simply stunning and very nicely done, it even looks soft to me ^^

Detail and paintwork is great on her leg region as well, from the laces on her thighs to the lines of her soles. There really isn’t anything I can dislike about this figure quality-wise.

So here we are back for more of the “Screen Chronicles”. Hope you enjoy it xD

An awesome figure, somewhat shockingly just a limited release with the PS2 game since I’m pretty sure she’ll really sell well even just as a figure release. Hopefully GSC will one day release her for public sale.

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Scale: 1/8
Released: Sep 2007
Price: N.A.
Availability: N.A.

So this here’s the front and reverse of the package the game and figure comes in. Was totally blown away by the size of it, like my very own gigantic ps2 game! w00t! ^^ This explains why I was kind of disappointed by the size of the package Myself; Yourself came in

Front and reverse of the game itself as well as the insides. Which is pretty much just a smaller scale of the box except this one can be opened up =P Mine didn’t come with the artbook, as the artbook was a pre-order bonus

It wouldn’t be difficult to come to the opinion that the game probably sucks so bad that it had to come with a 1/8 scale figure in order to boost sales. But that isn’t really the case this game happens to be ranked No. 1 in the Dec issue of G’s Magazine as well as you pretty much have to pay for the figure and it doesn’t exactly come free. So is the game really great? If you’re into visual novel style games, or if you liked the story of the anime, this game would probably work for you. Here’s some screenshots from the first chapter of the game:

Those familiar with the anime will probably find some shots familiar. But this game isn’t a copy of the anime and has some slight differences, most notably the inclusion of a 3rd Stellar Spinner: Yurishia Satsuki (皐ユリーシア). Those who enjoyed the story might want to give the game a shot, or get the manga since Yuri makes an appearance in the Manga as well.
