E-2046 1/7 Yuki

I tried to find some sort of information in this kit on the web, but was unable to actually pin anything down. On the E-2046 web site, there is a link to other figures supposedly in the same series with the link called 'clear'. It is possible that this is part of the anime 'Card Capture Sakura', but I have my doubts. It is quite probable that this is a stand alone figure not related to any manga or anime as E-2046 has been known to do that in their 'Antihero' series of which this is one of the figures. This series does not recast whatever has already been done, but is a unique tooling from the company.

Typical of E-2046 figure kits, there is but a sliver of the resin casting blocks. They even go so far as to sand away most of the mold seams on large pieces. This really speeds up the building process. The engineering is such that the pieces fit very well and often in such a way that you can prepaint pieces prior to assembly. To top it off the pieces are packaged separately and E-2046 packages their kits in such a way that they arrive from their trip from Hong Kong in perfect condition.

If there is a downside to these figures it is that shipping can be quite expensive for the large ones. In addition, there is no assembly guide for most of these; simply a photograph of the completed model. In addition, no painting guide is given, but then again, this is not all that unusual even for military figures.

The figure is your standard over-developed anime figure that provides 24 pieces, one of which is a large base. Since this is a later tooling, the kit does include a decal for the eyes, which many like as they find painting eyes to be difficult. In reality, they are not difficult to do once one has built a few of these kits. Also like some of their kits, this one is clothing optional for the top. This is one of the last kits I bought from them as E-2046's kit numbers are now in the 16-18,000s. Even though the join areas are fairly well defined, pinning some of the larger bits would be a good idea.

Those of us who have built figure kits from E-2046 have liked them and find that the fit is such that the kit can go together fairly quickly. Some of them are quite complex both in the number of parts and the painting requirements. Simple ones like this would be a fairly good way to get into this segment of the hobby.
