In reply to Tier.

I liked that Yamato was portrayed as a normal good girl next to all cheerful, loud and moe characters.
They could have had a better mix of main characters, though I was honestly happy to see Mutsuki there.
I also liked the posessive yuri ship, Ooi （⌒▽⌒）.

Yes, the figure is actually quite nice. I would have liked to pay less, but once I see something I like and I can pay it, I’ll get it. Well, personally I would buy some lovely Abyssal figures, if just some more would be made 🙁
Unfortunately, the Kouwan Seiki WHS from GSC is so damn expensive, I really like her.
but my last experience with WHS was honestly so terrible, that I won’t risk another possible drama.

Best hotel in anime! I liked her character in the anime adaptation though she didn’t get that much screentime. Personally, I didn’t think the destroyer girls in the anime were very interesting so it would’ve been nice if they focused more on the more famous (and bigger) ships. This is a very nice figure. especially for a prize figure, since you don’t normally expect much for prize figures (though I would for that price). 24 centimeters is also a good height. Personally, I think they should make a spinoff series/anime starring the Abyssals as the heroes; I would definitely watch that.

Sometimes they are really good figures and sometimes I really want one.
This Yamato was especially appealing to me, the concept was good and pose and expression did the rest.
I guess I’m defenseless when the figures look too good, cute or attractive (//∇//)

Haha, I just tried the common formula for the ship XD Although the game mechanics don’t give you any advance with one good ship *meh*

These lottery figures are always an interesting thing that I wish I could participate more often in. The tantalizing idea of being able to get s a fairly decent figure for a measly few hundred yen is very alluring. While I was in Japan I just missed this lottery, should have entered for Yamato, she looks really cute. Specially considering the outrageous prices she and Haruna went for after the lottery was over. Crazy prices! More crazy is that you and my friend paid them! XD As far as prize figures go, Yamato looks quite nice so I suppose it’s all OK in the end right?

By the way did I ever mention how cross my friends were with you for getting Yamato in the game so easily right away?

In reply to Aya.

Yamato is glorified as hero, I loved how it kicked Gamilus ass
It probably was an impressive ship, but somehow needless in the war and wasted in the end :(.
Yamato also had accuracy problems and Shinden came too late with had some aerodynamic flaws, it probably also wasn’t especially good
A few more survived the end of the war, but were scrapped not much later.

The figure is really well done, her body sculpting is very pretty and clean. No, it’s not as good as the bigger companies, paintjob and the tips of the hair show the quality gap more obviousl. Nevertheless this Yamato is a wonderful figure.

Ah, all in all Kancolle as anime was good comedy, so much random fun
Somehow it was love on first sight with Yamato, she looked gorgeous.
I was already happy that my (waifu) Mutzuki was in the Kancolle cast,
but Yamato looked so goood in that episode
Oh thank you very much, I always enjoy to recreate beach like settings.

Ah reminds me of the anime episode which was pretty fun. I wasn’t super into her character but this design is quite appealing. Nice job on the photos!

Yamato always described as Japan’s ultimate battleship and maybe Shinden as the ultimate plane? (base of yoshika miyafuji armors and plane is the skycrawlers anime), I remember yamato models come out in old manga I read like doraemon, it also become base of most popular anime at that time Yamato, it become spaceship thought XD Kinda surprised you bother search the shipgirls as in reality only 2 ships survives

For this figure it looks great, despite being a lucky draw items seems they really put effort on these because I used to compared ichiban kuji to prize figure LOL so overall ichiban kuji can be compared to max factory or alter I guess? Or not since your copy seems have flaws 😛
