This is the Chara-Ani 1/8th Kousaka Kirino figure from Oreimo!
I love Kirino's character so much. She's so so cute!

I know that as a feminist I should be horrified with this whole show but really it's such a guilty pleasure for me. Moe anime just suckers me in so easily. As far as actual quality, the whole show is just a bunch of fan service, but I really do enjoy it so much. I love Kirino figures because they satisfy so many of my perversions... cough cough ok let's get on with the review!
I love the details of this figure, from the shading of her schoolbag to her little bracelet and the manga in her hand.
If you look up her skirt she has some cute white panties ;)
Her clavicles are elevated a lot. You can't see the depth so much in this photo but they are quite pronounced. You only really notice if you're scrutinizing for detail, but it does make her look a little more bony than she should. She is supposed to be a soft and cuddly imouto ;-;
I love the details of the Stardust Witch Meru-Meru manga she's holding! Although in this picture you can see my biggest issue with the figure, which is her hair color. Kirino is known for her orangy-blonde hair, and this figure has a much more duller brownish color.

My particular figure has some VERY faint scuffing on the thigh. I assume that my dad got this used on ebay, which is how i get ahold of most of my figures. It isn't very noticeable and I could probably remove it with some washing, but I'm scared to scratch the paint off.
I wish I could give this figure a numerical rating, but I only own a few figures and I feel like I don't know enough to give it a real ranking, although personally I love it!
Overall I think this is a very cute figure. It really captures her spirit with her tsundere expression, super short skirt, and Stardust Witch Meru-Meru manga in hand. Any fan of Kirino will love this! I have one more Kirino figure that I would love to review in the future. You could always comment if you're interested :]
