While her name may be Mask Croissant we all know and love her be her real name, Ringo. Out of more boredom and photography experimentation i bring another review. This time it’s bandai’s Otome-Dama Croissant Mask.
This another one of my Bf’s figures that i acquired. I did complain about not getting free figures but then technically i did get many from him.
Ringo was a character we both liked in the air gear series. So when this figure was announced he jumped and pre-ordered her.
I don’t own any other Bandai figures other than Gashapons so i don’t really have much to compare her to.
What a nice view from over here.
I don’t like the glasses much, they sit awkwardly on her face and make her look a bit cross eyed.
It is possible to remove them but then you are left with a mark on her face where the glasses rest and parts in her hair where the glasses are held on.
The cape is also removable but it makes her neck looks a bit awkward as well.
But at least she has a nice ass.
Ringo here isn’t a bad figure, but at the same time there is no reason to run and get her. There are some hiccups in her paint, on her body it looks like there were some stray hairs on the paint that were later removed… A few blemishes on her legs and air trecks. the hair line isn’t really done well and has a noticeable gap. Her hands are the worst, the gloves look like a shakey person painted them with their eyes closed. But the thing i hate the most about this figure is her base. Instead of most bases where the pegs are in the base and maybe with luck the figure doesn’t even need the base. The pegs are on her air trecks, and even then she doesn’t even fit into the base all the way, she’s wobbly and falls off constantly. Now those are my complaints, on the plus side it’s an interesting and fun pose. Ok thats it, just the pose is good. But i’m not rushing to sell her off, not because her pose is so awesome that it makes up for it. But for the fact that i like the character. But if it weren’t for that she’s be long gone by now.

“But atleast she has a nice ass”
She definately doesnt seem like a figure to long for but if you like that Character she might be a good addition.Is that the only figure of her on the market or are better ones out there?
