The first thing outstanding about this is she’s 1/10 scale. WHY? Along with Tokiha Mai, the other 1/10, this is one of the few 1/10 scaled figures that GSC has produced. It could easily have been 1/8 though. Guess the sculptor, Cherry Blossom, thought otherwise. This was released in January 06.
Natsuki loses her trademark anti-pantyloss (refer to Maihime lol) tights and comes equipped with a very flared short skirt. She has her right hand on her hip and looks downwards slightly. She’s in her school uniform by the way, and as some small character from Maihime said, “She’s so proportionate!”. I concur. I feel the most interesting part of Natsuki’s figurine, is the cleavage portion, which is very realistically done with bra lines too visible through her blouse. You know how 90% of anime girls have unrealistic figures? Not Natsuki. Part of her uniform is the orange vest thingy, no big deal though. The paint job is superbly perfect. Nothing wrong at all. The base is typically GSC. Solid bright green, ugh. At 3600 yen, this one is worth it for girly figure collectors as well. But Maihime fans would surely get it. I’m not a MH fan, but I do like Natsuki. Not in Maiotome though. 75 points.
