There are some figures that everyone just seems to go gaga over. Dark Magician Girl is definitely one of these figures, and I know quite a few people who have been waiting with bated breath for her release in late March. As luck would have it, Kotobukiya was generous enough to provide us with an early sample of this gorgeous figure so you could all get a closer look at her before release! The photos are, as always, by the wonderful Stephen Donaldson. We will have a full review of her down the line, complete with shots of her Kuriboh and poster, but for now take a look at the gallery to see her in all her glory.
I have to admit that she was one of my most anticipated figures of the year, mainly because of my love for all things Yu-Gi-Oh, and Koto has definitely delivered. The design is dead-on, and her quality is top-notch. No overlap or paint blotching, and her coloring is beautiful and vibrant. Both of the faces are great, though it's clear from comments around the 'net that the winking face is the fan favorite! Her base, too, is fantastic, and for once I actually want to display a kneeling figure with her base! So what do you think, Tomopeeps? Do you have this figure on order yet, and are you looking forward to her release?
