Coming in July will be this Satsuki Ikaruga PVC figure (いかるがさつき) from Lilics. Reproduced from the PC game series known as “Eien Shinken Monogatari”, this Satsuki Ikaruga PVC figure is based on the heroine for the second chapter ”Seinarukana”. The sculptor is G.O of the Cerberus Project group and has Satsuki in a pose ready for combat. The facial expression is fine but I am quite taken by the simple yet elegant flow of her hair, cape and armor. While everything is painstakingly crafted according to the game details, the white does look a bit overwhelming and there is a slight lack in contrast. From some angles you might have problems distinguishing her various limbs.
Satsuki Ikaruga’s Eternity Sword “Kougi” is included obviously (how could it not?) in this PVC figure from Lilics, and I love how it adds to the overall pose and dynamics. In some ways, I very much prefer this pose to that of the upcoming Saber Lily from Good Smile Company. There is a slightly more intense angle to it while the latter is too straightforward.
Check out the Eternity Sword Kougi’s handle – nice light bluish hue.
The Satsuki Ikaruga PVC figure will retail at 7,800 yen. From comparison, Amazon Japan again has it at a much cheaper pre-order price of 6,240 yen with free shipping. Yes you can order from them even if you live outside of Japan. Just use a forwarding service like Tenso.com where you can get a Japanese shipping address, and then pay them some commission and the international shipping to you. Is this cheaper than ordering from other stores like HobbyLinkJapan where they ship directly to you? In many cases, yes, even after the additional commission charges, due to the extra discount from Amazon Japan and free domestic shipping.
Hobby Search has also started pre-ordering from this Satsuki Ikaruga PVC figure at 7,057 yen. For those who are not keen on an extra layer in ordering from Amazon Japan, then Hobby Search has the next best price.
