he word “SALE!” has amazing powers… To make me even poor, of course. Last month I got both the Elina from this review and another Queen’s Blade character, Nyx (to be reviewed) for the price of one figure at HobbyLink Japan [link]. Elina was one of the few Queen’s Blade figures from MegaHouse that didn’t get a limited version. And she still can be easily found in many online stores. So, what’s wrong with her? Let’s see how’s Leina’s little sister.
“Ufufu. Onee-chan, mi~tsuketa. Elina ga kattara isshoni kaettekureru?”
Original Design: Hisayuki Hirokazu
Sculptor: Kibayashi Norio
Source: Queen’s Blade (Visual Combat Book) [sample]
Scale: 1/8 (Aprox. 20 cm)
Material: PVC
Release Date: August/2007
Production: MegaHouse [link]
Daughter of Earl Vance and Leina’s little sister. She’s an skilfull spy and assassin. Because Leina ran away from home, she was ordered by her father to capture her older sister. Elina’s hobby is to have (abnormal) fantasies about Leina.
The “P-3″ package. Elina was released at the same time as Tomoe. From the ones I have, I think the boxes for the Queen’s Blade figures from MegaHouse have always the same dimensions.
Above, her “accessories”. And no, I won’t post photos showing the castoff.
As always, photos from four sides. I think it’s time to change the lamp and get a new light source, the photos are getting worse lately.
It’s no joke, she comes with the sausages. But, what’s she doing with her right hand while she’s holding the sausages with her left? Hum…
I don’t know why the lack of love for Elina. She was the 6th figure sculpted for this series and by no means she’s inferior to the others. Her body is very well defined, her clothes are detailed and her hair really looks like it’s flowing during her attack pose. I admit the way they made her open mouth is a little off, but other than that Elina is great.
And once again Kibayashi Norio and MegaHouse deliver a great figure. A bit different from the other releases, Elina has a more dynamic pose, as she looks like she’s stabbing with her spear (or eating the sausages in a hurry). She’s easily “castoffable” too! Want see more photos (including castoff)? Visit the review at the following blogs: AkibaHobby [link], foo-bar-baz [link] and Moeyo [link].
Personality-wise, Elina is very wicked. I don’t know much about her besides what’s written in her profile. Guess it won’t be long before I find out more about her since the Queen’s Blade anime will be airing next month. But I know that she already have a new profile for the Queen’s Blade Rebellion… New outfits, new figures?
In a few days, another review is coming for the other figure I bought with Elina: the magician Nyx!
Cya!
