‹ Meido Ito Chika & Matsuoka Miu ~ Konami [Updated 20/06] •
This figurine is quote old, it was released on 2005 (oldest figurine compared to previous figurines I reviewed ^^), and also a bit dusty because I don’t put her inside detolf ^^. Anyway, this figurine is going to get re-release this august, so I think it’s the best time to make review of this figurines.
The quality of this figurine is so so (just like any other Kotobukiya figurines heh), but still decent. This one got an extra litle moulding on her left chest 
but anyway, can’t complaint much because the figurine quality back then wasn’t as nice as now
The face doesn’t look exactly like asuka, but still OK.
but her pose is quite sexy ^^
Even though her meido dress is quite nice, I still find that Alter’s black saber has better quality
The custom base is also quite nice
Overall she is ok, but must get if you are Asuka fan <3 like me ^^b

Yeap good time to do a review about this figure, since lot of people are waiting for the restock
This is one of my very first figure, bought in a shop in Spain while I was in vacation haha ^^;
A very sexy Asuka indeed.

Nice low angle shot you got in there ^^;

Nice shots, I like the one you can see her panties. Is it because of the camera or is she a bit yellow?

Hey, what’s up with the Asuka figurines popping up everywhere^^
And again, I’m stunned because of the base those figures get. Nice photos.
I’ve been wondering why they still release figures of such an old anime. Then it struck me that the manga is still popular and running in Japan…

great timing on the review ron~, as I was thinking of getting her in August. Her skin is a tad yellow isn’t it. I like the sexy pose shot ^^

Sweet shots ^^ This figure may be old and not fantastically built, but the base is just simply awesome, even if it does take up a fair amount of space.

Goth Loli + Asuka is win-win for me!
Nice pictures! I love the detailed base. I was willing to look past the orange skin because I <3 Asuka! ^^

@lu-k: yah she is one of the sexiest non-adult asuka figurine :p
@danny: thanks hehe
@belela: she is a bit yellowish
@valho: yah, her skin is tad yellow, i hope she’ll get better re-color on her re-release version
@shinohai: yep, base is very nice, it adds gothic touch ^^
@aka_ugly: I <3 asuka-chan too

That reminds me, there are some Asuka and Rey’s figures which can only be obtained by playing UFO Catch machines in Japan, and they can’t be found in stores, well perhaps you can find them in black market.
Anyway, you may want to train your skills in UFO Catch, otherwise you might spend a lot of money later in Akihabara

I wish I had the Gothic Rei to pair up with my Gothic Asuka…

Nice pantsu shot ^^b
There’s the Gothic Lolita Asuka with Guitar over at E2046 but it costs 139.40USD @.@

Not a bad figure, but yeah, a bit on the yellow side.
June 26, 2007 at 1:13 am
Nice photo Ronald, use it as one of my wallpapers
June 27, 2007 at 9:50 am
@sin: i think playing UFO catch in japan is cheaper than here >_<
@samejima: yah, but gothic rei is expensive… no pvc release yet
@windbell: that gothic asuka is nice, but too expensive for me
@adun: ya, abit yellow..
@yenny: thanks ^^

This was almost the first figurine I bought, but thought no way, if I start collecting figures stick a fork in me because I’m done lost to total geekdom. Never did get it, but lost myself in total geekdom anyway.
June 27, 2007 at 5:31 pm
Wow, I havn’t seen this figure in years~
Nice photos there, although Asuka’s face does look a lil weird at some angles o_O could just be me tho..
June 27, 2007 at 9:48 pm
didn’t buy it cos somehow it doesn’t ooze asuka
June 29, 2007 at 12:47 am
she started me on my loli-goth path! I love it! Nice shots!
June 29, 2007 at 3:10 am
Nice Photos I like Evangelion but some how the last shot in the post makes her eyes not look that good
June 29, 2007 at 9:34 am
@super rats: lol, geek for the win ^^
@aya & burberry: yah, her face isn’t exactly like asuka, need more tsundere factor
@akiraman: her eyes is quite decent, it’s just the paint quality isn’t as good as alter’s or max factory’s

Hi!
I noticed your link to my bootleg figures page (thanks for adding me)!
Also, I’m thinking that your Asuka is the fake version.
The original Koto release didn’t look that bad
Buyers beware, as the new re-release probably means more fake copies of her being sold!

I noticed that one of her legs is lifted up slightly. I think you have her on the wrong step!
I wish her skin tone wasn’t so yellow, like Alter Jo or Revy…
