This is a Cold Cast Polystone figure so it comes packed in styrofoam surrounded by a purple themes cardboard box with images of the standard colour version with only text to indicate that the Crimson ver. is packed inside. Most of the images emphasize Cattleya’s breasts which is the main selling point of any Cattleya figure.

A diorama type base with battle damaged brick road and column along with her ‘Giant Killing’ sword and two pairs of glasses are included with the figure and once everything is set up complements the figure’s pose immensely. Since the figure is Polystone care must be taken to avoid breaking/cracking the figure.

The pose totally sold me on the figure and is the reason I bought it, it’s like the anime has come to life with the way the breasts appear to be moving and the energy the pose has. Of course being a Queen’s Blade figure this one is cast offable with two pieces of clothing, one which is the main outfit which covers the left breast and another piece to cover the right breast so you have the option of displaying a fully clothed, totally exposed or partially exposed figure. Casting quality is excellent with the only flaw being around the mouth. Painting and shading is excellent as well with the only problem area being around the mouth.






Based on Cattleya’s expression she appears to be enjoying this battle.

Battle damaged outfit really adds to the uniqueness of this figure and is really well designed for putting on and removing.



I can’t put in words how amazing these pair of breasts are, thumbs up to sculptor Shiragami Takayuki, awesome job on sculpting this figure.

Conclusion:
Extremely happy that I bought this figure even though I wasn’t planning on buying anymore Queen’s Blade Cattleys figures, hopefully there will be more dynamic figures in the future.

The standing walking away while slowly revealing your breasts pose definitely has a bit of sexiness and anticipation to it especially when posed at the angle of the illustration. Fortunately with a figure you can rotate it to see a nice pair of boobs.

The quality of the figure is typical OrchidSeed, overall pretty good except for some visible seams, casting and painting flaws around the fingers and feet, the left breast has a shading flaw on the inside lower breast area, some people have reported shading issues with this figure. Packaging is nicely done with the figure placed in the box to represent the illustration this figure is based on, the boobs are covered up with black plastic to tray and prevent any potential arousal in stores. A round plastic base with the figures name is included and provides adequate support for the figure.




The beautiful face has a sexy expression suitable for this figure’s pose.

The pink top is properly wrinkled as it is slowly being pulled up, I would like to see this figure with the top on just before it was being taken off, I’m sure it still would be one sexy figure.

Voluptuous hips and thighs add more sexiness especially the way the top butt cheeks poke out and pressed in from the ‘panties’.


The breasts have a nice curvature with a sense of volume and weight with puffy areola and perky nipples.

Conclusion:
A must for any Takuya Inoue fan and I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

Haruko is in an action pose which adds some uniqueness to this bikini figure and the need for the support in the base. One of the selling points is the swapping of bikini’s with the Himegami Kodama figure which is also from Chara-Ani. Himegami has a purple sling bikini which would look great on Haruko, it would have been nice if this was included with the figure as well and not requiring the purchase of another figure. The bottom of the packaging has the Maken-Ki! logo and figure information not just an empty space, and the top flaps have advertising for the Himegami Kodama figure and Rias Gremory from Highschool DxD.

The main issue I have with this figure is the seams around the breasts ,at the elbows and where the arms attach to the torso, fit and finish is pretty good with some minor casting flaws around the fingers, the hair could have used some shading.

Haruko’s measurements:

• Bust: 97 cm – 38 inches
• Waist: 59 cm – 23 inches
• Hips: 88 cm – 34 inches

Haruko has a joyful expression which adds to the charm of this figure.

The breasts, butt, and crotch area are nicely sculpted and look to be accurate to her stated measurements, however there is nothing in the privates area to support the cameltoe showing in the bikini bottom.

The box features uncensored images of the figure showing off the breasts in all of there glory, this is a first for any figure that I own, usually there is some form of convenient censoring to hide the nipples of any exposed breasts. Another first for me is the use of magnets to attach the head to the main figure section, the head was packaged separately from the main body in styrofoam, A plus should have done this with the 1/2.5 ‘Big Mama’ Cattleya figure. There is warning on the back which has ‘Ages 15 And Up’ it probably should be for ‘Ages 18 And Up’.

The sculpting is accurate and an excellent rendition of the Manga’s cover, painting and casting is excellent and of above average quality with some minor flaws and blemishes visible only when you inspect the figure really close. The base is school desk for Shigure Takashima to sit on and is sturdy enough to hold the figure without any worry’s of it collapsing.

The face is accurate to the Manga with a nice happy slightly embarrassed expression.

HHH could also be for Shigure’s cup size, if you like figure’s with large boobs Shigure sure has them. A slightly indented slit is visible and the only detail in the crotch area.

Since this Shizune Futou figure is cast offable you can display her with as much or no clothes at all, the various options are:

• Totally naked
• With swimsuit
• Full School uniform
• School Uniform top and no skirt
• School Uniform skirt and no top

Shizune Futou’s major stats come in a close second when compared to Queen’s Blade Cattleya’s stat’s:

Shizune Futou floor pose shows off her rather prominent assets and butt nicely and with the mirrored base you can easily check out what’s up her skirt if she is wearing one. The arms squeeze her breasts together to make them look even bigger and help stop her from falling forward, there is even  detail in the crotch area.

The sculpting is nicely done and well proportioned and represents the source material accurately though the breasts may be considered to small based on some of the images of the Ero-game character. Casting and painting is above average and keeps up the quality that is expected for A-Label and BEAT manufactured figures.

Unfortunately this is the second figure to arrive damaged this year, the hair section by the ribbon was broken off the main hair section, this may be an issue due to the fact that at this section of hair the PVC section is very small, however it looks to be easily fixed with some crazy glue.

The bashful facial expression shows the only paint flaw with the lips being unevenly painted.

The crotch area has some detail for the vagina which is required for any Ero-game based figure.

The breasts and buttocks are nicely sculpted and painted, with detailed nipples and puffy areolae.

Sculpting is excellent with above average attention to detail for a swimsuit figure, the breasts, butt, wings and hair are nicely done considering the pose.

Overall the casting is pretty good except for some flashing around some of the smaller parts of the figure like the blue ribbons on the sides of the bikini top and the dangling chain around Astrea’s neck. Painting is excellent with no visible flaws, now if only all figures were painted this good.




Astrea’s cute face and happy slightly embarrassed expression adds to the appeal of this figure.

Close up of the ice cream cone, broken chain collar, and the blue ribbon on her bikini top.

You can see the attention to detail with Astrea’s hair, hair ribbons, under-body and swimsuit with tiny bikini top.

Care has been taken with the sculpting and painting of Astrea’s wings which look great and the painting of her toenails is above average.

‘Big Mama’ really defines this figure which was released in March 2012, this is the second 1/2.5 scale Cattleya figure to be manufactured. This figure is larger that the 1/2.5 Taki Cattleya figure so one of them is not quite to scale, not that it really matters to me.

Cattleya is in a Z pose with her arms going back and her hands trying to hold her wind blown hair in place. The sculpting by Ryuusuke is excellent with well defined muscles throughout the figure, detailed hair and a nice joyful expression for the face. To me the large breasts are perfectly sculpted with a slight areolae perk and nipples smaller than the Taki version. Cattleya is perfectly balanced in her pose and would require some effort to cause her to tip forward or any other direction. Painting is pretty good overall except for around the toes and fingers where it is sloppily done, the skin tone is warmer than the Taki version and adds to the appeal of the figure. Casting is excellent except for around the fingers and toes which is a bit rough.

The figure comes with a cloth bikini swimsuit which is removable, a pair of glasses, two bracelets, a choker, and a beach towel.

You will probably notice the black ‘arm band’ on the right arm, this was put on to hide the crack in that location, it will eventually be replaced with something more suitable and a more detailed explanation is at the end of this post.








The face really makes this or any other figure, it’s just beautiful no matter which angle you look at her from.


The provided beach towel is a nice extra touch for this figure.

With the cloth bikini it is easy to have different type of wardrobe malfunctions, as well as removal and putting back on.


The fingers and toes could have used some more attention to detail.


Cattleya also has a nice butt to go along with her nice boobs and face, which makes for a nice figure.

Arrived Damaged.
The box arrived in good condition and was rather shocked to find the figure damaged inside. This is the first figure to arrive damaged and based on this post [link] this is not a rare occurrence for this figure. Considering the price this should not be happening and place the blame on A+ for poor packaging design. It looks like there was no support to keep the head in place during shipping which led to the head moving and eventually detaching resulting in chips around the base of the head. There also was not enough styrofoam thickness on the sides were the figure is placed to protect it from shocks. The area were the right arm was crushed from the inside out which resulted in the crack around the right arm. So now I’m a bit cautious about purchasing A+ figures.



Links:

The pose is based on the first volume of the Sekilala Kanojo ero manga, being faithful to the source material the original face of the figure just doesn’t translate well into a 3D figure, thankfully someone at BEAT realized this and an optional face is included with the figure in addition to another arm to provide a more revealing pose.

Everything about this figure is high quality, there are no major flaws visible with the naked eye, the main flaw is on the bottom of the watch wrist band where the paint and casting is a bit rough and can only be seen when you zoom in with a macro lens. The head and right arm area even have a plastic insert and use a ball joint which is a first for any figure that I own.

The images show the figure with the optional head and arm which is my preferred way of displaying this figure.



The optional face shows a more confident playful happy expression and the hair is nicely detailed with no smooth spots.

Attention to detail is shown in Mayumi’s outfit with wrinkles and ruffles where they should be, in addition to the bra adjustment clasps and watch being painted with precision. At certain angles you can even see the blue ribbon from her panties through her legs. Painting of the fingernails is excellent as well.




The sculpting of the breasts is excellent including the clothing covering one of them.





The bottoms of the panties are detailed as well.

Conclusion:

A highly recommended quality figure if you are looking for an Office Lady or sexy clothed type figure.

Fasalina uses her charms and flirts with her opponents to gain the upper hand, this figure’s pose lives up to her character from the anime. The kneeling Z pose accentuates Fasalina’s bountiful breasts and provides a natural resting place for her staff as well as showing off her nice butt when her skirt is removed. Painting is pretty good overall with some minor spill and not quite as good as the Carmen figure, as is the casting which is rougher and has some larger bumps.




Fasalina’s facial expression is rather vacant and doesn’t seem quite right.

Fasalina’s outfit features absolute cleavage which is put to use keeping her staff under control, the staff required a delicate touch to position properly.





Unfortunately you cannot see Fasalina’s fine posterior with the skirt on.

Close up of the right hand and staff which also required a delicate touch to position properly.

As you can see the packaging shows the main selling point of this figure.

Conclusion:

Overall a good figure with some unique sex appeal that works for me.
