While it's pretty obvious that the line of Busou Shinki figures have long been sold out, that doesn't mean I stop looking around the Internet for figures. Every once in a while, I actually do browse the usual figure dealer web sites (as well as eBay) for the figures in hopes that one site get a restock in a figure that I don't have (or in the case of eBay, there's a dealer in North America selling a figure at a reasonable price). This past week, I found out that Hobby Link Japan had one Busou Shinki figure in stock (way cheaper than what it was going for on eBay), with me ordering it ASAP, and the figure itself arriving on Monday (thankfully, I was staying home from work that day to watch the E3 press conferences). The Busou Shinki figure in question:
That's right, I was actually able to pick an "alternate color" Busou Shinki figure, in this case the Dengeki Hobby Magazine version of Ianeria, without paying over $100 for it. To further prove that this is legit, here's the "top secret" file that came with the figure.
Introduction aside, it's time for the photos. Starting things off is Ianeria after I take her out of the box.
Next up is a pair of pictures, from different angles, of Ianeria in her mermaid form (as well as with the additional face and breast piece that came with the figure).
Wrapping up the photo shoot is a "perspective" picture I did of her and Eika from Sky Girls. Note that I had to use my bookshelves to do this shot, although it would probably worked better if I had a wading pool of some sort. Also, good thing that Ianeria in her mermaid body doesn't need a stand in order to stand on its own allowing for her to not take up that much space when I included her with the best of Busou Shinki collection).
For those interested in picking up the limited edition, Hobby Link Japan still has the figure in stock ATM (and given the yen recently, it's actually quite a deal for those living in the United States).
