Review: Shining Wind Seena Swimsuit version by Max Factory

seena header

After my vacation was ruined by a cold I was at least happy, that one day after my arrival at home the postman ringed
to deliver my figure orders of Seena from Max Factory and Momhime from Alter .
The Customs catched my parcel again so I had to pay 42€ more.
I will start with reviewing the lovely Seena Kanon.
Max Factory announced this Shining Wind Seena Swimsuit version at the beginning of this year and I was hooked in an instance.
Max Factory has also announced bikini versions of Kureha, Xecty and Clalaclan, but for once Im not planning to buy another figure of this Shining Wind bikini series.

Seena Kanon

Seena Kanon Seena KanonSeena KanonSeena Kanon

Seena Kano is a character from the popular Game Shining Wind.
I havn’t played Shining Wind.nor watched the anime adaption, but I own three Shining Wind characters because I really like the character design.
Seena was manufactured by Max Factory she is a scaled 1/7 figure which makes her 235mm in height, to me who mainly owns 1/8 scaled figures she appears super huge.
The small base is simple but ok, it looks a bit like a cookie.

One of Seena’s charm points is definetely her face, honestly it looks so damn cute.
The shiny brown eyes are painted very detailed and the shiny finish really brings them to live, under her eyes Seena has some light blushing marks.
Her mouth is very well sculpted and puts a gentle smile onto her face.
In general I’m no fan of short haired figures, in case of Seena Im loving it, her hairstyle, the radiant color as well as the freely sculpted strands which look really pretty.

The detail of sculpting at her upper body looks very good.
Nice details are the collarbones, the stomach as well as her backside with the area around her scapulas, there is also a subtle shading effect at some parts of her body.
The size of her chest fits to Seena’s overall look, not too small and not too big.
It is characteristical for characters from Shining Wind is, that they have unrealistic long legs in comparison to their upper body.
Seena is no exception here, because of their length, the legs appear a little bit less detailed than the upper body.

There isn’t much to say about her outfit
It’s a simple looking orange bikini with black holder strings and ribbons at the backside.
A nice detail is the fancy skirt with the square pattern.
I tried to cast off the skirt but I didn’t want to rip it apart so I can’t provide pictures of her bikini slip.
Nevertheless her paintjob of her clothes looks pretty accurate without showing any noticeable flaws.

Her pose looks simple but nice with the arms entangled behind her back Seena appears very petit which matches the innocent and cute look of her face very well.
There could be a tendency of leaning to one side in the future, but so far her pose is pretty stable even though her whole weight only lays one one leg.

Final words
If you are searching for bikini figure with an innocent, girl next door charisma and an overly cute face, this Shining Wind Seena Swimsuit version would be the right choice.
here you can find a short review where you can see her box and here base

See you next time with Momohime.

I’m off – at least for 7 days

moe 144344 cleavage eretto megurine_luka swimsuits vocaloid

Tomorrow I will start my 7day holiday trip to “classified information”
I’ll probably have internet but I won’t surf a lot, maybe in case the weather gets bad.

My luggage:

  • Case with clothes
  • 160 GB Harddisk
  • an old Notebook
  • Canon 20D +Tokina 19-35 mm + Tokina 80-400 mm
  • Sony Alpha 550 + Sigma 50 mm
  • Sony NV 1000 mp3 player
  • Al Azif figure

  • My open preorders are now in stock at AmiAmi, but since they haven’t sent me the invoice yet,
    It looks like I have to pay Momohime and Seena during my vacation.
    The good aspect about that is that their delivery will not occur during my vacation =D

    Have a nice week

    See you

    I change the pose every few weeks and put them back on the shelf.
    so far I own Drossel and Yukata .
    After seeing some pictures from Figma figures riding bicycles I wanted a nice looking vehicle for my Yukata.
