Review: GSC 1/8 Senjougahara Hitagi

  As stated in yesterday's post, I won Good Smile Company's 1/8 Senjougahara Hitagi. Hitagi is one of the main characters from Bakemonogatari, a show I really enjoyed watching (the art style is amazing).


  This figures was initially released a while ago, and it's one of the things that got me into Bakemonogatari (since I didn't start watching the show right away). 

Here's a nice leg shot I took with my 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lens. And yes, those are chocolate eggs. ^^

This figure has great flow with it. The pose is inspired from one of the scenes in the show (which happened to be one of my favourites). I'd recommend this show to anyone, unless they don't like dialogue. 


Also, the fact that she was shipped twice and in excellent condition gives her 10/10 on shipping.

Let's get into the review:
The colouration of this figure is excellent. The detail put into the shirt and hair is outstanding. One tiny complaint is that the pens and ruler in her breast pocket are a tiny bit messy, but besides that, it's pretty nice.
Colouration gets 9.5/10

More closeups....

Showing how the stationary is standing...

As mentioned above, this figures has great flow. I haven't seen a better figure with flow from Bakemonogatari.


Flow gets 10/10.

Huge scissors are HUGE!

Let's talk about putting the figure together.
I had a lot of trouble with the stationary and had to thicken one of the small peg thingys. It was only one of the stationary thingys, and everything else was okay.
Construction gets 9/10.

I sense pantsu in the near future...

Let's talk about the figure's faith to the original character. 
It matches perfectly. Tsundere is definitely there... well... mostly tsun.
For FTTOC, this figure gets 10/10.

Lovely hands holding the dress...

I see pantsu!

Really nice flowing hair

More hair...


Let's talk about proportion.
Everything is perfect besides those damn huge scissors. They can chop off her legs.
Proportion gets 9/10.




NOSEBLEED WARNING!!!

PANTSU!!!!!

While he have pantsu, let's talk about the character's charm. 
The teasing/ provocative face that Hitagi is making is perfect, and the elegant pose goes along with it. GSC did a great job.
Character's charm gets 10/10.

If you didn't notice, Hitagi can hold 2 staplers in her hands instead of her dress, which can be changed for a non-held version.

PANTSU!!!!!

The other dress...

Let's talk about facial expression. The fact that she's looking to the left with her held turned makes this figure special. As well, if you look closely, you can see the GSC Dots in her eyes (I call them that).
As stated above, the facial expression gives off a teasing/provocative face which works great with this figure.


Facial expression gets 10/10.

Final photo!




All in all, this figure is great and I recommend her to any Bakemonogatari fan. Her final score is 77.5/80 or 96.9%.


Great score is great.


Let's see if Gift Saber Lily can beat her when I order her...
