Yesterday I went home feeling something good was going to happen ( That's every day, by the way), and it did! Being an insane fan of the Manga series Detective Conan, a while back I went looking for merchandise. Now, I am also quite interested with Good Smile Company, mainly because their figures are extremely detailed despite being so small. They have a series of the smallest, most detailed figures I've ever seen called Nendoroid 'puchi' petit (ねんどろいどぷち), and I found out they made one of the main character a year back in celebration of the 16th movie revealing of Detective Conan! Anyway, I bought it ( along with the book it came with, volume 75 of the series. Too bad I can't read Japanese...), and yeah, it took a few weeks, but as I said: It definitely came! I took a few pictures as well, so I'll post them in this blog entry.
Before I took him out of the plastic
I made a futile attempt to make my pictures look better. Thanks, 3DS.
He looks so confident!!
hurrah! The manga volume it came with!
As with most of Good Smile's Petit series, He's absolutely gorgeous! Whatever plastic they used ( I believe ABS, since it said that on the bottom of the box), it feels so great! The colour they used for his skin looks exactly like shortbread cookie dough after hardening... I wouldn't recommend trying to eat him, though!
He also sparkles a bit when met with light from certain angles, which I thought was actually really funny! Also, on the paint job, overall the detail ( Like in most of GSC's figures) is spectacular! The only paint bleeding I've observed so far was on his right leg where the shoe joins his sock, which isn't a problem for me.
The only thing that disappoints me is the unfortunate reality that the glasses are formed to the fringe. Oh well, no glasses-less Conan for me...
Oh, oh! As well, if you guys are into murder mysteries, lots of blood, and manga, I highly suggest the series! Don't be fooled by the main character looking like a child, though ( He's actually 17, but I won't spoil anything else). It's actually a 16+ rated series! And, the movie this figure was promoting was The Eleventh Striker. It was so fun to watch! Lots of action.
Anyway, that's it for my fawning, see you guys next entry!
