After a few days of blogging, I finally found some free time to review the last of the figurines that I’ve got from the Anime Festival Asia 08 (AFA08) event.. Well, you have seen my short review about the Sega Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin a few weeks back (Click here to read the entry..). Now it is time to review about the Alter Tsuzaki Aoba and the mecha she is piloting; Moribito TYPE2.. ^^
The original price for her is about 6500 yen which is about SGD$100 but during AFA08, she was sold at only SGD$50 (which later reduced to a good price of SGD$40).. I got this chance since I watched the show back then..
Tsuzaki Aoba and Moribito TYPE2 are actually from a manga series which later became an anime series called Jinki;Extend.. It is about two girls who end up piloting giant humanoid robots called “Jinki” (which translates to “man-machine”)..
Here is the OP of the show:
Well, let us begin with the review then.. So I was pretty impressed with how neat and tidy the figurine + the mecha were packaged inside the box.. They are also arranged nicely so that people will be impressed when they open the flap of the box..
I took a good look at the 1/8 scale Tsuzaki Aoba and I fell in love with her.. She comes in her torn and tattered “plugsuit”, showing that she just came back from battle.. This makes her look more manly than she is.. xD

However, the suit looks like it is integrated with Tsuzaki’s skin, making the whole battle-worn effects abit weird.. At least that is compensated by her pose and her MOE face.. ^^

Side-View shot of her..
Rear-view shot of Tsuzaki Aoba..
Well, her base is quite simple; black in style which allows Tsuzaki to take the attention like most figurines do.. Her leg is nicely detailed too with abit of shine..
Well, what makes this figurine special (and expensive) is that she comes together with her mecha during the Venezuela arc, Moribito TYPE2.. Well, its not even 1/100 or even 1/144.. Since its not stated on the box, I will just say the scale is about the same as the SD Gundams, though the head is not that big.. xD
I would like to hand it to them, the mecha really looks very detailed, down to it’s edges.. The mecha comes with 2 blades, one for each hand, a rifle and a shield.. Due to time constraint, I’ve only managed to take pictures of it weilding the 2 blades..
Seriously, they both look quite good together though I prefer the mecha to be slightly bigger than the current one.. Apart from that, I simply love them very much.. ^^
Though I can add that Moribito TYPE2 is more than meets the eye.. xD
Caught red-handed.. Now I know why the mecha is made that small.. XP
Well, thats it for this review.. I hope you enjoyed the shots I took using my N82.. I am still amazed at how clear the pictures are even under dimmed lighting.. But I would prefer having a dSLR camera of my own to take some great shots.. I wonder if my current pay is enough.. =3
Well, as for now, I would like to take a good rest and prepare myself for a good run in Dead Space… That game is totally awesome.. ^^

I only started watching the anime series quite recently only, but I can say that the Moriboto Type2 is quite nice a figurine.
Jinki: Extend, I want to watch that, dammit. It has some of my favorite seiyuu in it and it has rather nice girls. :\
Havent watched Jinki:Extend but probably I will.
Mecha?No Thanks!Not my Genre
Are all the sets in battle damaged mode or just this particular one?
The girl looks good if you consider the circumstances
@ Zhlink, Panther & Phossil: Yes, you must watch Jinki;Extend anime series.. The show is very nice to watch.. ^^
@ Blowfish: Well, all the sets come in battle damaged mode.. And yeah, she looks very MOE indeed.. Do catch the show..
