Look, you've already known about Kotobukiya's Black Hanekawa for a while. There's not much I need to do to sell this one; I think it's one of the few figures Kotobukiya has done better than Alter. Akiba Hobby has photos of a color sample up and she looks terrific... except for that unfortunate, massive seam down her butt.
When you see it, you'll know. It actually looks obscene, and that sucks because the rest of the figure looks so excellent. The figure's taken down a notch - I think saying "ruined" is too much - by something so ridiculous. Hopefully Kotobukiya fixes that in the final version. I'm really praying that they do. Akiba Hobby is certainly not shy about getting right up in her cooter, performing the valuable service of exposing these flaws to everyone. For that, we thank them!
