Gun x Sword’s Fasalina Figure Review

Fasalina_07

Got Fasalina here in the same shipment as Clalaclan, saves on shipping cost from HLJ to have them ship SAL in batches then one at a time. Thats one of the reasons I have never ordered from Amazon Japan. While I have found several book and other things I would love to have they only ship EMS (aka express) and often on book the shipping can cost almost as much as the books themselves.

Others have covered her in a lot more detail so I will just cover the basics. Fasalina is from the anime Gun x Sword. The pose and the face sculpt is out of this world. They way the base looks is pulled off using a sheet of holographic paper inside a translucent plastic shell. The paint job however leaves much to be desired large block of color and very little shading, tho the trim work is good with very little over painting. The staff however was a stone cold bitch to get into place and there is already some paint transfer between it and her chest. While the box pictures show the staff entering the ‘water’ of the base it really doesn’t nor does the right hand hold on to the staff. She also doesn’t have any real connection to the base just sitting there so she tends to slip around a bit. Overall she looks very fine from a distance but the details are missing when you get close.
