Jian Xue is definitely worth all the effort it takes to acquire her. Looking through Tsuki Board, it doesn't look like there are many Sailor Moon figures around. That could mean that the fans are right in that she deserves more figures. However, I think that this fact acknowledges the lameness of that show and puts her in her proper place, as a short-lived fad consigned to obscurity. It was!

There is a curiously rabid fanbase for Sailor Moon on the E2046 message board. Ha, you may not! You have gots to get your own, my man.

E2046 should do their Ori Projects more often.They have so striking results and as of lately the price of a Gathering figure and a AAA PVC is nearly the same. MAy I snag her from you? ^^ One Word:

That was my reaction when I saw this figure too; whether this figure is one's style or not, she is definitely eye-catching. She's also surprisingly tough; I knocked her over a couple times while taking pictures but she wasn't damaged. Thanks!

Their creations are impressive, including base, an area where they are kings. (But if the figure is not very stable .. it scares me ... it's so fragile). This base makes very majestic figure. The tattoo is particularly successful. Thank you for your photoshoot, it is brilliant. The work of E2046 is really striking.

I knew this figure was going to be awesome the moment I saw the character design sketches. >> Guy Haha, yeah, I see what you're saying. It's a bit of a tough choice between shooting photos that are illustrative versus shooting for artistry. I used to purely do the former on some of my old pictures and they came out kinda blah, but that's more because I had no clue what I was doing. For now I'm just going to put her on a shelf high enough that I'm not going to knock her over again (she fell over several times while I was taking pictures). The magnet idea sounds pretty cool; I might also use some double-sided tape or something. That reminds me, I need to look for double-sided duct tape the next time I go to the hardware store. >> Leonia Thanks! I think the black background adds a bit more drama to the pictures. I really like the Asuka figure they did, but I didn't get it since I have the Yamato Rei figure and I wasn't sure how well they'd match. Now that I think about it, that seems like a silly reason not to buy a figure. >> Jem That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the character too. I never did play much Dynasty Warriors, though. I need to go give Kingdom Under Fire a whirl sometime; I'm told that its gameplay is similar. >> Brucey

It's a nice figure, and you take really great picture. I have not gathering for the moment, but I want old gathering (Wai Fung, Raquel, Asuka Shunya Yamashita version..).

To be honest, I prefer the white background to the black. Almost every figure review, I have some parts of the figure where I can't truly make out the details, because the lighting comes from one side, and parts of the figure are left in darkness. Heck, I want to see the figure in all its detailed glory every picture :P The white was a bit too stark though. The tattoo is awesome, had to say so again. I love free-hand drawing, and this style of drawing in particular. I have a friend who designs tattoos like that, and an RPG book (actually two), where all the monsters are drawn in this style. Nice base, but yeah, probably need to add more weight to it. Consider gluing a small magnet to it and placing it on something metalic? P.S. Can we get a close-up shot of her engraved knife? Great tattoo.
