1/7 CoCoNa by Movic

Being a fan of Shunya Yamashita's artwork i couldn't hold back ordering this fantastic PVC figurines of CoCoNa. The size and detail is amazing, and the colours are so vibrant. I didn't actually think she would be that big but when you compare her to other figurines like Rudy and Non-Non she is a lot bigger in all aspects (sorry i didn't post a comparison photo).

About the detail of this figurine. Like i said it's fantastic. You can hardly see any seam lines (joints) anywhere on her body. The only 2 really noticeable seam lines are on her hair and above her underwear. These seam lines are pretty common on most figurines so it's not a problem at all.

The colouring is fantastic. There are almost no bleeds. The only noticeable bleeds (see in the skirt picture below) is on her belt around the skirt and a small amount on her leggings.

The design of her sword is nice. However it does suffer from very noticeable seam lines and some colour bleeding. This doesn't bother me as my attention is stuck on her face and of course her eyes (gosh the intensity of those eyes). XD
