This new 1/7 scale figure of “MC Axis Girl of Nose Art” is scheduled for September 2008 release by Run’a, and will be retailing for 6,800 Yen ^^ Hobby Search is taking reservation for her as of today.

Never heard of the company before, but the figure is designed by Shunya Yamashita~ The figure is cast off-able too ( ^ _ ^ );

Alright~ Continuing where we left off, here’s the 2nd part of Rize‘s review ^^~

Closer look~

The Halberd~

That ends Rize’s review ^^~ Shuraki figure series is definitely worth all the trouble getting them. I totally recommend all of them ^^

Next will most likely be Figma Nanoha‘s turn to get the review treatment~ Look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/

Finally, we’ve reached the final review of Shuraki series figure, well atleast the one I have right now ^^; This time it’s “Shuraki Trinity Box #05: Rizfis Luttiva Mente” from Good Smile Company ^^

This will be another 2-part review ^^;

Rizfis Luttiva Mente, also known as Rize, is the 5th and Final release of the Shuraki figure series, and also the 4th that I owned ^^; She was released not long ago on May 29th, 2008, and was originally scheduled for April 2008 release.

A little bit of info on the character~ Rize is a 19-year old Italian-born Halberdier that is specialized in close combat battle. She used a long dual-headed Halberd as her weapon and also a member of the secret White Raven organization ^^ She’s designed by Takumi Yano. I can’t really find a better info on him, but supposedly he’s part of the Sakura Wars artists. All I can say is, he has one of the nicest looking character design ever~

Just like any Shuraki figures, she comes with the Character Illustration Booklet “Shuraki Secret File Vol.5: Rizfis” and a Drama CD. In the Drama CD she’s voiced by Shintani Ryoko, who’s known for voicing Sakuraba Milfeulle in Galaxy Angel series. As for the other voice actresses and actors, basically the CD will features all the voices from the past Shuraki Drama CDs, since Rize’s CD is the final installment of the Shuraki story ^^

The figure comes with interchangable Battle Damaged version of the dress, in which you can switch around, and also a custom Diorama base stand ^^ She probably got the best looking Base Stand out of the Shurakis~

As usual, another amazing sculpt by GSC. Another amazing highlight of Rize is probably the “Crystal Blue” skirt. It got some weight in it like a freakin’ shell hard as hell ( > _ < ); It’s probably made out of ABS material. With Rize, now I have 4 Shuraki figures with Char as the final Shuraki figure to get. Unfortunately, I have to wait for GSC’s announcement on the “Re-release” version of Char. Probably soon…hopefully ( > _ < );

Anyway, on with the usual shots~ More Photos will be posted in Part 2 of the review~^^
