Queen's Blade (Japanese: クイーンズブレイド, Hepburn: Kuīnzu Bureido) is a Japanese series of visual combat books published by Hobby Japan inspired by the licensed works from Firelight Game Company's Lost Worlds. The overall plot revolves around a tournament called the Queen's Blade, which is held once every four years to determine a Queen.

This figure is Alleyne, who is an elf weapons master and a fairly minor character in the works and in the anime. She appears sporadically in order to further the flow of the series. While she is generally more fully clothed, there are scenes where she is wearing a fairly minimal amount of clothing. As elves live with nature, that clothing is generally constructed of leaves. It is not surprising that E-2046 would have chosen this level of clothing for its figure.

As much as I liked the figures from E-2046, I got to the point that I knew I'd never build them all and while new ones are still being produced, both the desire to add more to the stash and the now very high cost, thanks to tariffs and fairly high shipping, has kept me away.

Pretty much all of the kits from this company are superbly cast and this one is no different. There are generally large attachment points and often they are such that no filler is needed. Even the mold seams have been removed from many of the parts. While the parts image shows small pouring stubs, those are gone from the kit. The instructions are such that an exploded view is all that is required to assemble them. This kit does not include a base nor eye decals. These decals are nice to have but once one learns how to paint eyes, they are not needed. You can also see that the clothing is optional if you so desire a nude. Doing that will eliminate the majority of the small parts.

This kit is not, of course, for everyone and is at a minimum PG-16, however, for those who do like this sort of thing and those looking for something a bit different, you cannot go wrong.
