Hey, I know some of you guys out there LOVE Feena (some of you a bit too much). I love Feena, too. She's so reliable and strong. Tatsuya can piss off. But it's ok. I can have her for my very own if I pick up Koto's most recent offering which is… WAIT FOR IT… a 1/8 scale Feena. She looks to be very well carved, but I worry she might pick up a lean after a while due to her one leggedness. Hell, he outfit looks well better than the series animation. Nice. She'll be out in April for 4,410 yen.
Three glorious shots after the jump. GLORIOUS! FEENA-SAMA! If the clock has struck January 11th in your neighborhood, then it's my birthday. WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday! :)
I wouldn't worry about leaning issues. She's been on my shelf for almost 6 months and no signs of a weakening stance.

KEEN!
Yeah, I maybe should have noticed that this was a resale. OH WELL! BIRTHDAY INACCURACIES! I'M ALLOWED!

Oho, happy birthday!
But oh wow, this Feena actually looks really cute! Actually I'm not really keen on her character design in the anime. Maybe it's because she doesn't have her crown and the ridiculous princess outfit here? *hrr*

Not that bad for 4.4k but being such a picky person always looking for faults and inconsistencies, after a while of staring, the mouth seems pretty "off" *cough*. Well beauty is in the eye of the looker and this might be someones dream come true. And happy birhtday to yoouuu~, duh.

This is just a re-run isn't it? Well I do kind of regret buying this one compared to the 1/6 Atelier-sai version. As awesome as Feena is in her princess outfit, the quality on it sucks.
Also Happy Birthday Randall!

ack, typo, I meant I regret NOT buying this one.

Happy birthday!
Adun, is the Feena you have this one? I've been undecided over whether to get for a while, so if it isn't so good, I can save myself some money.
As for this figure, I love the uniform but something about the face puts me off. I'm half tempted but probably won't get it.

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BDAE!

Having seen both upclose, I'd say Koto Feena's facial sculpt pwns Atelier Sai's Feena. Facial sculpt appears to be Atelier Sai's weakness.

Happy Birthday!
You know neither Atelier-Sai nor Kotobukiya is the pinnacle of quality, so if product quality is a concern neither one is the right answer. Both specialize in mediocrity, though Koto tends to make their stuff less expensive, which was their saving grace. Sadly, it seems Koto's prices have been creeping higher lately.

I'm quite tempted to get this Feena figure since she looks quite nice in her schoolgirl uniform. I have the 1/6 Feena in her princess uniform and I'm in agreement that it does look kind of odd. It looked great on various sites and all but the actual figure itself is rather bleh… Thank goodness I bought it at a good price (about $20 off the original price).
I've had leaning issues with Koto's To Heart figures so I'm a little hesitant to get this Feena, especially since she on 1 leg. Although it does look a bit better than the 1/6 Feena…
Anyways… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Obligatory HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Karura: Yes it's that exact one. See the horrible pictures of it here:

super rats: I don't think Kotobukiya deserves the generalisation of mediocrity. They produce both good and bad figures just like GSC, Alter and MaxFac does. This 1/8 Feena and their 1/8 Kinoshita Rumi are great sculpts which are seeing re-releases later this year. I thought their 1/8 Asakura Yume was sub-par though. Even the great Alter and MaxFac have leaning figures on my shelf.
So I'd say we shd go case to case for every figure regardless of maker. Just my 2 cents :)

Stripey, you've got it right, you should go for whatever looks good to you.
January 13th, 2007 at 2:02 am
Haha, I think this is one of the first figure's I wanted when it originally came out. Now I have a chance again… Yay~
