Flay - R&R

Maker: MegaHouse
Scale: 1/8
Anime: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Flay Allster was a character I disliked intensely when I first watched Gundam SEED, but more recently, I've come to appreciate her flawed character for its tragedy, and for the impact she has on the plot. Flay has quite a striking character design, as well. This figure shows her after having shed half her uniform to better enjoy the sunshine during a lull in the fighting, as well as to tempt a certain Gundam pilot getting too close to another girl... Interestingly enough, this Flay figure was part of the Gundam Archives release from MegaHouse, which came out at the same time as my Cagalli figure several years ago. It's lucky that I came across this one by chance much more recently, when I have a new appreciation for the character.
