Delicious Momohime Figure is Mmmmm

Okay, "mmmm" isn't an adjective, but it should be.

By gia manry  |  March 18, 2010


I have not had the pleasure of playing Muramasa: The Demon Blade for the Wii, but I've watched John play it a bit while I was working hard in the background, and I always really loved Momohime's design. The cool stockings, the cute short kimono, the armor, it was just awesome. And solid. (I was sactually just looking at a monster in Final Fantasy XIII last night with a similar color scheme and I thought, "that's kind of pretty. I don't really want to kill it," before I did.)

As such, while I haven't played the game I am seeeriously tempted to pick up this beautiful figure by Alter. The facial expression is a bit different from what's in the game, but I don't really care, because it's a beautiful face. Her hair looks gorgeous, and the pose is just sexy enough-- leaning forward pulls her kimono up in the back just a touch, and of course those legs. Those LEGS! (I want those stockings.)


 Momohime's SRP is mid-range: ¥7,800, about $86.40 USD, and she's due out this July. HobbySearch has extended its SAL sale again, so you can get her for a little less there right now if you want.

That is a lovely figure. Nice depth in the paint work. Even her face seems to have some very subtle makeup work done. It has a very nice flow to it.

She's beautiful but she could be quite the leaner...

@Void_Wizard: She could, but it looks like she has a pretty good base-- and one that she's not removable from --so it's less of a concern for me this time around.

I love the look of the game, I recall it as being one of the games I wish Sony had on the PSN. The figure seems to share the high quality it's game does.

I don't know much about the game, but that is a very nice figure.

Love it, nice detail.

And ordered! Missed out on Gwendolyn last time and don't want to miss this one. Momohime looks very nice here with great detail; thanks for the story :D

That's not creepy at all. Not even a little bit.

@Sigue: Just a random thought.

Oooohhh pretty. The details are so nice. And her facial expression is so well done, giving her soft, delicate look. I'm much like you in that even though I haven't played a game, if it's a pretty figure, I want it. :)

Super nice.

Alter + Vanillaware are a great combination for such nice figures. It also looks like the arm is either movable or changeable as the sword can be sheathed or unsheathed.

My local anime watchin' club is using this character as it's logo!

Oh wow, this... is... amazing. I'm not huge on buying expensive figures... but do, do, do, dooooooooooo want.
