Loaned Figures; Kotobukiya Octavia

Once again we have another Loaned figure, this time the amazingly stunning Octavia from Tears to Tiara. I had never seen her in person and she is just lovely and has such an amazing movement.

Love her vibrant colors and her pose full of movement.

Interchangeable arms, so she can either hold her sword or have it sheathed and be reaching for it.

Her blue eyes just pop since there isn’t anything else that’s blue on either the figure or the background I choose.

The purple detail on her scarf is very lovely and really adds that something special.

Oh this is something I haven’t shown in quite a while! A panty shot!

Such an exciting figure with an exhilarating pose with a flowing movement! Action poses are hard to master and sometimes you get them right and with Octavia I feel they did well with the flow of this figure and the colors are just spot on.

    Ah, nice. I haven’t seen the anime and I know nothing about the character but I like her ^^. A feisty girl with a deadly weapon, what’s not to like? xD

    I haven’t watched the anime version because I didn’t like how they redesigned a few of the characters. I was used to certain characters looking more cute and loli from the ero game version. ^^;

    I do like this Octavia figure though. The details on her belt are quite nice. Thanks for the review and nice pantsu shot. :3

    She looks really nice except for one thing: her earring looks like something is growing out of her ear, kinda freaky.

    oh those are nice details that you shoot,
    as the previous comment poster, I too just realized the earring part… that is creepy >.<…
    but if only they didnt do that then i suppose the figure should be great ^^

    The belt is nice and the ripples in the clothes matches the pose well. Though i think her eyes are a bit too far apart from each other.

    hehe, another thing i didn’t notice until someone pointed it out, yeah they do seem to be a little too far apart in some photos, but in person i didn’t notice it all!

    I love Octavia XD, she somehow resembles my fav character (Saber). Wish I had more time to finish the series T_T (or play the game)
