Bome Collection

Monsieur-Bome: Gunbuster Noriko Takaya Figure Collection Vol. 18
$16.99
Imported from Japan! Mech handlers in big-robot-animation-series' generally fit into two basic molds. The first mold is that of an ace pilot with innate skills who takes to maneuvering a robot like a duck takes to water. The second mold follows a more humble path where the hero has potential but must work hard to get to the lofty levels of the aforementioned prodigies. In the Gun Buster anime series, Noriko Takaya fits squarely in the second mold. Unsure of herself at the outset of the animation, Noriko eventually grits her teeth, finds her impressive abilities within, and pushes them forward to help the cause. To celebrate all that is Noriko, Kaiyodo presents the eighteenth "Monsieur Bom��� Collection" release, dedicated to the Gun Buster pilot! Figure stands approximately 8" tall and features a display base. Blister card packaging.

Bome Collection Volume 10: Magical Canan Carmine Figure
$19.99
Sculpting: 10/10
She's sculpted very well, everything, from teh ribbons to her hands are executed very elegantly. Everything is very smooth, and free flowing, as you would expect with mon-sieur bome.

Painting: 9/10
The painting is good, but it could've been better, it's lacking significant shading and in some parts bleeds. It's hardly noticeable unless your really looking, but it's still there. Though it's still a really good paint job despite all those little inconsistencies.

Posing: 8/10
Her posing is okay, it's not flamboyent but it's also kinda dull. The biggest accent to this figure are her ribbons which are actualy very well done. Their very fluid and it gives it a bit of action to the overall figure. Otherwise her posing is abit plain.

Base: 10/10
Out of all my 10 figures she has the second most beautiful base, if not the most intricate. It's finely painted without a flaw, with some sort of seal. It's something I find myself staring at for a long time, it's very wonderfully done. They really put some detail into the base, even though the colors are red and white, it still remains beautifully done despite the simple colors.

Packaging:
Your typical blister package that is common with Mon-Sieur bome's figures. It was really flashy, very holographic all over, and actually it was amazingly well done and thought out. Unlike most blister packages I'm use too this was by far the most beautiful! Same I couldn't save it.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Despite all it's flaws it remains a beautiful figure, and I would suggest it to anyone who can appreciate the beauty of women (without being perverted honestly). She's dressed conservatively, she's got a cute face, and her clothing are stylish yet shows off how beautiful she truly is. I highly recommend this figure!!
