When news of this Black Rock Shooter PVC figure from Good Smile Company was first released, pictures of this 1/8 scale figure simply blew me away. The setting, base, post, and details of this upcoming Black Rock Shooter PVC figure were all excellent and looked top notch. The dark colors were amazing and the eyes of Black Rock Shooter appear to glow under the lighting (whether it does or not in the actual product is anybody’s guess). For those who are not familiar with her, Black Rock Shooter was orginally created by huke, and further brought to life in a PV that featured ryo’s song for the character. The reception was and still is fantastic and has gained huge popularity. Whether this might then eventually lead to other forms such as a Black Rock Shooter Figma might be anybody’s guess, but the likelihood is high considering how well received this was.
This particular PVC figure has Black Rock Shooter holding on to her Rock Cannon in an alluring pose. I particularly loved the way the hair has been sculpted to flow mysteriously in the night, and the contrast between her sexy black boots and pale white skin is just striking. The base is also a feature to the figure, adding much to the mood and tone of it in my opinion. The chains on the cannon were a nice addition as well and just highlight her seductive charm in a special way. Now that I think about it, a Black Rock Shooter Figma could indeed be a great addition to the series, since it could lead to a lot of cross posing between other characters. Sculptor Akeji has done a brilliant job. For more pictures of her, you can find it on Good Smile’s blog.
Retail price for the Black Rock Shooter PVC 1/8 figure will be at 9,800 yen and will be released in August. You can find it cheaper and preorder it on Amazon Japan at 7,427 yen with free shipping, or from Hobby Search at 8,867 yen.
