Pretty Pretty Sakura: Part 2 (Uniform Ver.)

Yup, this one here's the 'grocery bag' Sakura I was talking about in my last post. I also first saw this in Hobby Japan, and even then I loved it. It's a crime to only say good things about stuff you like, but I don't care. The figure looks like Sakura stepped off my TV screen on the way back from marketing. She looks that good. Nice job, Alter.

The pose of the figure is something like what you would see quite a few times if you watch the Fate anime. Sakura, in her school uniform, carrying her schoolbag and a bag of groceries. ^^ I personally think she looks very nice and sweet here. Of course, if you didn't like Sakura to begin with, this won't change your mind. I like the detail on the plastic shopping bag there. It looks so darn realistic. My only gripe...the hair's a funny purple, if you get what I mean. Like she washed it in grape juice. This one's a whole lot larger than the
Battlesuit Sakura though. 1/6 scale and measuring a whopping 29.5 cm. Whee! Also pending a December release.

The grocery bag is very realistic indeed. :) But personally I'm inclined towards Battle suit Sakura. Prefer her facial sculpt there. Will probably get that instead.

Btw I think this figure is released by Goodsmile Company. :)

Yeah, not sure about that. I noticed HJ states it as Good Smile. I checked amiami, and Sakura can be found under the GSC and the Alter sections. Since they put the manufacturer as Alter, I just went with Alter. Maybe it's some collaboration thing. Thanks for the info though. =)

Oh you are right! Amiami lists it as an Alter product. No wonder the confusion. :P I checked the Goodsmile webby itself and she's under the GSC tage. Nevertheless, if it's from MaxFac/Alter/GSC, the figure can't go wrong. :)

It's great to meet another Sakura fan. :)
