Photo Summay of the Details

Another figure that I like the most. I think I have been loving jolly faces of the figure as well as bright colors. I would love to get Ika Musume's normal wear but this is the only one released from the Banpresto DX line. I saw one with the normal wear but it was released in the Bapresto Ichiban Kuji line and I think it was a bit pricy. But so much of that, I really love this figure. I am just afraid if after a few years of displaying this figure it will start to lean backwards because of the awkwardly single footed standing pose. Hopefully it will not, since the figure is a bit lighter in weight. That's it for now. Thanks for your time.
