(More customer reviews)Obviously, if you've ever read/watched Excel-saga, you know about Ropponmatsu 2. This figure is particularity based on the swimsuit she wore for the flying contest in the seventh volume of the manga (if you haven't read the manga...I pity you). I actually happen to own the original version of this figure where she is wearing a blue version of the swimsuit, but in this special edition version, her swimsuit is more of a pearl-ish white with either a gold or silver stripe (depending on what you receive), and it's see-through...a little. You can only see her navel and some skin tone, but not much of anything else, so it's still a pretty "decent" figure (unless you really feel that bad about seeing a fictional robots navel). The detail on the wrinkles of her stocking and swimsuit are very nicely done, and the pose she making is very adorable, but the tone of her hair is a bit more whitish that pink, and her eye color is a bit lighter too, but such minor detail complains fall short because this is still a great figure overall. I've only had 2 issues so far: 1.) The cable on her head is very fragile. This is also true for the original figure as well and was solved easily by applying just a tiny drop of Krazy Glue. 2.) The base she is mounted on isn't very reliable. If you plan to place this figure in a very high area, I advise not to. One tap on the case and it's possible she'll fall off easily from her mount, and we don't want that to happen now, do we? Again, these fault are still minor, because the detail and cuteness of this figure more than makes up for them. Now if Yamato would only make a set of similarly sized figures of Excel, Elgala and Hyatt....that would be sweet. Overall, If you enjoy Excel-Saga, you might also enjoy this figure.
