HISTORY

The "Shining" anime series is an anime adaptation of Sega's popular fantasy RPG video game franchise. The two main shows are Shining Tears X Wind (2007) and Shining Hearts: Bread of Happiness (2012). Both feature magical parallel worlds, elves, beast-people, and characters who draw magical swords from their hearts. This particular character is Xecty, the Goddess of the Wind.

THE KIT

 This one differs slightly from the high standard of E-2046 castings in that several of the parts come with partial casting blocks still attached. It is no problem to remove the blocks, but it would have been nicer without them. Anyone with experience on resin kits will find these fairly familiar.

The parts count on this one is a bit higher than some with some small parts that appear rather delicate. That would make this one not a wise choice for a beginner. While it appears that the figure can be modeled topless, there is no detail on the breasts so it is best to build as is unless you are good at sculpting resin. A major plus to this kit is a nice, sturdy looking resin base with very positive attachment points for the figures feet. I have no idea what that thing on her head is and perhaps it can be left off.

CONCLUSIONS

In all, a nice 20cm model can be made from this one and it is fairly exotic as well.
