7th Dragon 2020: Samurai (Katanako) Battle Ver. by Flare (Review)
From HobbyLink Japan Samurai comes in a completely transparent window box, only provided with an inner background on one side. The box is quite fitting for the figure, and I’m a fan of transparent boxes, so I particularly like this one.

Hatsune Miku: TRICK or MIKU illustration by Hidari by Union Creative (Review)
Available From HobbyLink Japan This is one of the numerous figures of Miku available on the market, thus perhaps just another version of the popular Vocaloid and nothing more. I’m personally not very impressed by most Miku figures I see releasing these days, and that’s probably due to the large number of variations I always see. That being said, Hatsune Miku: TRICK or MIKU illustration by Hidari i...

Available From HobbyLink Japan PLUM’s Fate/Grand Order: Assassin/Scathach figure comes in a box with almost every side partly made of clear plastic. The figure is mostly assembled, and it has only to be placed on its base to have Assassin ready for display. The amount of protective plastic PLUM used is quite good and protects the figure very well.
