Dalong.net – Racaseal Eleanor Ver. APSY Review

Dalong.net has finally completed his review of the Racaseal Eleanor Ver. APSY from Phantasy Star Online. Some notes from the review after the jump.

Review Notes

  • All the weapons, which are pistol, shotgun and saber, come molded in a single colour. In the saber’s case, it’s a fluorescent green colour.
  • The kit comes with 5 set of (fixed) petite hands.
  • In typical Kotobukiya fashion, the kit comes with some prepainted eye parts.
  • Dalong comments the kit is very posable, allowing for very nice natural and feminine poses. The back can bend backwards almost 90 degrees.
  • Kotobukiya have included extra parts which allow the kit to be connected to a stand (not included).
  • Seam lines are pretty well hidden, with the only major one being on the forearms. And even then those could be considered panels.

Comparison of Painted vs Snapped

 

In terms of colouring, the kit needs some work to look like the promo pics. These include:

  • White highlights on the side and back skirts
  • White highlights on the headpiece
  • Light pink highlights on the breast piece
  • Light pink highlights on the knees and ankles
