This
is one of E-2046's custom ordered kits from their Ori series. The sculptor
of this one is renowned craftsman Yamashita, who well known among anime
figure enthusiasts. The subject is not part of any particular manga or anime
series
At 1/6 scale, the completed figure will stand around 29 centimeters, which
is a bit under a foot in height. Typical of E-2046, the molding is first
rate. There are no molding errors at all and all the major pieces have had
the mold seams already removed. The parts are all very positively keyed so
once the small pour stub remnants are removed, it quite easily slots
together.
The figure includes a base as well as a small dragon. The cap on the top of
the staff is molded in clear resin. Since many people have difficulty
painting anime eyes (not really hard after you've done a few), decals are
included for this feature.
The kit is not parts intensive and is superbly packaged. Not only are parts
in their own compartmentalized bag, but many of them have been wrapped with
bubblewrap prior to being encased in plastic. So good is their packaging,
that I've only one time in hundreds of figures, ever gotten anything from
this Hong Kong company with a broken part. That time it was a finger, which
was easy to repair.
Instructions are basically an exploded view showing where the parts are attached
and you are provided with two photographs to assist in painting.
