I absolutely love my Kirino nendoroid and am sooo glad I decided to preorder her when I did! I hadn't thought about making her cosplay yet, but I think the most interesting thing I could make her do for now is either Miku or BRS, because my only other Nendos happen to be... Girls in uniforms. I didn't really find this a drawback for Kirino, though, because of the expressions she makes, versus the other ones I have, Love Plus' Manaka and Nene, who I got because Manaka is adorable and irresistible for me and Nene who has cute faces.
With Kirino I got to experience my first time swapping faces, though, so I was really happy about that. It definitely adds to the experience of having a Nendoroid if you have other ones to swap parts with and pose with them!
The one thing I'll say about Kirino is that I was a little disappointed by the coloring and shading of her hair, because her hair is literally a gradient, and all of the figures of her so far are missing that. And in some lighting, her hair looks BROWN. Once I turned on all the lights when I was snapping shots of her earlier last month her hair LIT UP and was the right orange color, but without that, and on display, it looks really brown, which is disappointing. But I can't blame GSC for that, simply because the lighting in my house is probably... Bad.
Also the 1/8 scale Kirino you used in this (I forget which company made her, too lazy to go look since AmiAmi still doesn't load on this computer) came out a LOT better than she looked in the production shots. Her coloring looks really nice.

Haha I preordered when this first was announced. Then I canceled because of funds...Now it's impossible to find T____T I make bad decisions
Ah dang it I got beaten to the punch. Ah well saves me the work of making a review. :P
Kirino is so cute and she is very well made.
If I have a complaint it would be I wish her scarf was a different piece instead of molded on her shirt. Maybe even a lighter hair color.

...Eh, still not sold. I mean, she packs a lot of personality (and those faces do have great swapping potential), but in a 3D figure, design outweighs personality in the end. Given that the schoolgirl outfit wasn't even frequently-used in the show, there was no reason to make her yet another schoolgirl - it just seems lazy on GSC's part (hell, most of those parts look retooled from other Nendoroids). The same applies to the Figma - I'd be much more hyped for both of them if they had her in virtually any other outfit, simply because it's not something there are already over 9000 Figmas/Nendoroids of.
