That's a rather silly look on my face there.
Thanks to Hobby Link Japan, we bring to you yet another unboxing this week, this time with an actual box! The lucky lass escaping her cardboard-and-plastic prison is Orchid Seed's Akeno Shirnui from the mermaid yakuza show Seto no Hanayome, or My Bride is a Mermaid on this side of the pond.
I'm not fond of the show proper, but I can look past bland humor as long as what I'm looking at is cute and has a set of fins. That will make more sense when you see the video after the jump.
You can pick Akeno up at Hobby Link Japan for ¥6,343.
