Among figures, there are works that involuntarily steal your gaze, and this “Aimu Illustrated by RIKO 1/6 Scale Pre-Painted Complete Figure” is precisely that kind of piece. What first jumps into your eyes is the bright expression that looks as if she is gently smiling toward you. Her innocence lacks any pushiness, possessing a mysterious charm that naturally calms the feelings of the viewer as well. Holding a presence that cannot be fully expressed by the words “a figure just to display,” it is finished to provide new discoveries every time you direct your gaze toward it.

Precisely because it is produced based on an illustration drawn by RIKO, the atmosphere unique to a two-dimensional work is replicated exceptionally carefully. Not merely three-dimensionalizing the character, dedication attempting to translate even the soft atmosphere and lightness conveyed from the illustration into the form can be felt from every part. The way the hair softly flutters up upon receiving the wind and the sculpt of the beautifully expanding wings alter in impression depending on the viewing angle, holding a completion quality that makes a picture no matter from where it is gazed at. The sculptor's attentiveness to fine details heightens the level of completion of the entire work even further.

The charm of this figure does not end with the sculpt alone. Fine ingenuity is also applied to the coloring, and through color expressions that let you perceive a sense of transparency, it further highlights the soft atmosphere possessed by the character. The way shading is applied is also highly natural, leaving an impression through allowing you to feel a depth that cannot be expressed with monotonous painting. Because her expression alters depending on how the light hits, being able to enjoy different beauties between daytime and nighttime must be precisely the true pleasure unique to this work.

The volume unique to a 1/6 scale with a total height of approximately 285 mm cannot be missed either. While firmly holding a presence, there is no sense of pressure, allowing it to be displayed naturally in various locations such as desks, glass cases, and collection shelves. Because a dedicated base is also included, it holds a sense of stability, making the surrounding atmosphere glamorous all at once just by installing it in your favorite space. Whether for those who want to display just a single favorite figure or those who wish to add it to multiple collections, it feels like a size balance with high satisfaction.

Also because it is a pre-painted complete product using PVC and ABS materials, the point that you can enjoy a high level of completion the exact moment you take it out of the box is a charm. No compromise can be seen in the fine details down to the flow of hair, the soft lines of the outfit, and the expression of each individual feather, conveying the technical power of the creator the more closely you gaze at the fine details. Because you are made to notice new charms the longer the time spent gazing at it becomes, you can taste a sufficient sense of satisfaction in terms of high collectibility as well.

Precisely because it is a figure that fuses the loveliness of the character, the beauty of the illustration, and the level of completion as a three-dimensional work at a high level, even people seeing it for the first time are naturally drawn in. The sculpt carefully crafted down to the fine details and the elegant color expressions never make you tired of it even when displayed for a long time, letting you feel a fresh charm every time you look at it. Not to mention those looking for a favorite collection, even for those who like RIKO's illustrations, it is a recommended figure as a highly satisfying piece through which the worldview of the work can be felt close by.
