【Azur Lane Kearsarge: Springtime Monitoring】Packed with commitment such as transparent long hair, gesture of fixing a heel, and translucency of clothes, Kearsarge: Springtime Monitoring made into a 3D figure on a 1/6 s

If you like Kearsarge belonging to the Eagle Union from Azur Lane, your gaze might stop without thinking. What became a figure this time is the figure wearing the gorgeous skin “Springtime Monitoring”. Combining a cheongsam-style costume centered on pale pink with a calm atmosphere typical of Kearsarge, it is a finish where you can enjoy the charm felt on the game screen with a presence unique to a 3D figure. Moreover, the scale is 1/6, and total height is a solid size of approx. 275mm. For people thinking “I also want viewing value when displayed”, this size will be a pleasing point. Because it is a painted finished product, rather than assembling or painting, it is a collection item where you can thoroughly appreciate sculpting and coloring.

What I want to pay attention to first is the unique posing with one leg raised. Rather than simply standing, because a gentle flow is born across the entire body, the impression of the silhouette changes depending on the viewing direction. Soft body lines peek out from the costume incorporating bold cutting, becoming a structure where the gaze naturally connects from there to smoothly extending legs. Around here does not feel like sculpting that says “it's fine as long as it looks flashy”, but feels like drawing out the lustrousness possessed by Kearsarge from the pose itself. Precisely because of a large scale like 1/6, it is a figure that makes you want to observe down to fine parts like body lines and boundaries with the costume.

Some people may be curious, thinking “How about the back view?”. In this figure, effort is also poured into the impressive long twintails symbolizing Kearsarge. Rather than sculpting long hair as a simple mass, flowing movement is given to the hair tips, giving a feel of air-filled lightness despite being a stationary figure. Furthermore, pearl painting is utilized for coloring, adding a gorgeous nuance to the hair itself. Prototype sculpting is handled by Mr. Yadokari, and coloring by Mr. Hiiro, complementing the character's individuality from both aspects of sculpting and color. It is a finish that makes you want to gaze even at the spread of hair while changing angles, without being satisfied with just the front.

The costume is also a part you want to look at thoroughly. In the cheongsam-style design based on pale pink, a texture reminiscent of translucency is incorporated, and even delicate patterns on the surface are carefully expressed. And the interesting part is where completeness is not created only by large costumes. Fine sculpting is also applied to small items like hair ornaments, tassels, and bags, each becoming an element creating an elegant air reminiscent of the Spring Festival. Even if thinking “It is sufficient for figures as long as you look at the face and pose”, upon discovering such small decorations, you end up wanting to check from up close. Being able to enjoy both large silhouettes and information volume in details is the charm.

And in this Kearsarge, there is another fun that cannot be missed. In the normal facial expression, there is a coolness as if quietly staring this way, drifting a mysterious atmosphere that somehow does not let thoughts be read. However, exchanging to the included optional facial expression parts turns the impression around. Becoming an expression with blushing cheeks in addition to an upturned glance, you can enjoy the gap with her usual calm appearance. While being the same costume and same pose, just by changing the face, even the story conveyed from the entire figure looks different, which is an interesting part. Being able to choose “Cool Kearsarge” and “Slightly embarrassed Kearsarge” according to the mood or preference of the day would be a pleasing specification for fans.

Included in the set are the figure main unit and exclusive pedestal. Presence of approx. 275mm, elegant twintails, Spring Festival-like costume, crafting of small items, and two facial expressions. Gazing at these one by one conveys that this figure is trying to drop into 3D not only simply reproducing Kearsarge's appearance, but even the air feeling possessed by the skin “Springtime Monitoring”. Enjoying graceful silhouettes from afar, fineness of costumes and decorations up close, and finally differences in facial expressions. Even after deciding the display location, wanting to gaze while changing angles again and again. It is a Kearsarge figure possessing such fun of appreciating.
