姫 Hime!

Today we have Good Smile Company’s recent release, 姫 (hime, {princess}) from 怪物王女 (kaibutsu oujo {monster princess}). Turns out hime’s real name is リリアーヌ (Lilianne), and perhaps you’re more familiar with the English title for the series – Princess Resurrection. The series originated as a manga and had a 26 episode anime run in 2007.

Picked up hime from hobby search, she’s still available if you’re looking for her. Box pic was in a previous post if you’re interested.

As you can see she comes with a nendoroid puchi フランドル (Flandre) and a pair of scissors.

Unfortunately she doesn’t come with shana ^_^;

While the anime hasn’t been that spectacular for me, hime’s got that… well… hime personality ^^;  Always a plus for me, and she also wields a variety of weapons if her servants fail to deal with her enemies.

A while back I translated a short blurb someone had written about Alter’s upcoming Signum … the author spent half the time talking about the folds/wrinkles in the clothing… since then I’ve found myself looking for such detail also ^^;

Love her outfit.

I’m also a fan of long hair, so again no disappointment… wish I had a version of this pic that wasn’t overexposed ^^;

Love the… well, I guess they’re evening gloves?  Though they don’t cover any of her fingers ^^;

Her scissor holding hand.

Now with scissors!

A healthy pair of eyes.

Haven’t tried them yet, but Danny mentioned he could actually cut paper… the scissors, not her eyes ^^; They’re plastic but constructed accurately so you can open/close them to display them as you wish.

Remember the word ぎりぎり (girigiri)? “Just barely” as in girigiri se-fu (barely safe) or as in just barely hiding her pantsu :P Here’s this week’s girigiri shot.

Though I’m not one to tease, so here’s the maru-mie shot ^^

Feels just very well executed in general.

You can feel her air of confidence.

Jumping all over the place, but here are all the included goodies

Bad shana! Wait your turn!

Another look at the base with hime attached.

As I briefly mentioned previously, the base is very sturdy and as you can see, very detailed. Definitely appreciate the effort put into this one.

Crown looks pretty good, too bad it doesn’t have a metallic finish thou :P

ummm... ear shot?

...ear shot 2 ^^;

Until I get some creative juice flowing again, here’s another installment of menekko theatre~

Hmm... well, ok fine, saber isn't a very good copy cat.

Does give a pretty good size comparison though. Saber's 1/6, even on the base, hime's 1/7 still comes up short.

figmas can get the job done right ^_^

manekko saber touchaku!

Let’s see I believe I linked Danny’s review above, and there’s also… hmm… well, actually I can’t remember seeing any other reviews recently ^^; I’ll add some if I find ’em.

以上！
