So I’ve done a few outdoor photo shoots with my figures but never anywhere out in the open to the public. I’ve been dying to go out and do one in an open spot, this is my collection and my hobby i shouldn’t be ashamed to go outside and take pictures! So I decided to take some of my swimsuit figures to the beach!

I’m no good at doing indoor shoots, I’ve tried and tried again but I can’t seem to get the lighting to work. I have heard from many people that the best light for photos in sunlight so doing outdoor shoots on sunny days just seemed like the best idea. I have to say that doing this shoot makes me feel like I went up a notch in being a figure collector. I’ve met people who collect figures but are ashamed of their collection, they tell me they will do indoor shoots but never have the guts to go outside with them for the world to see.

I choose Tessa and Chidori since they are a set and I’ve had Chidori for a while now but it was becoming difficult to acquire Tessa.

I love this Tessa figure, I owned before the Atelier Sai Race Queen Tessa, and she was just a horrible horrible figure. It didn’t even look like her honestly, the outfit was something she would never have been caught wearing and it was completely out of character. I adore this Tessa so much, it’s so true to her character, she would be the kinda person to show up to the beach in a school swimsuit.

I was so glad to finally get Tessa so that way my Chidori wouldn’t be alone anymore. This figure is one of my favorites to be honest with you, it’s once again honest to the character plus she’s made so well. My only complaint is that on her right arm, it’s not all one piece it’s two pieces stuck together at the elbow. But since the gun pretty much covers that up i don’t mind it at all. Other than that small fault it’s practically prefect. She’s only on one foot but no leaning for this lovely lady. I also love how her hair just flows in the wind.
