Kotobukiya 1/8 Horo Figure

Got a lot of haul recently.... money also spend a lot, thinking of holding back a bit. Ok i got this Horo figure around last week (or was it last last week), anyway wanted this figure ever since i saw the anime Spice and Wolf.





The Kotobukiya version ain't following the anime character design, i did heard someone telling me that it follows the novel character design. But for me i think this Horo is super cute, definitely worth the money!

The back of the box



Originally when i heard the name of Spice and Wolf, my first thought was damn this must be those Fan Service anime.... where you get a wolf that looks like a pretty young girl. Then after i watch the first episode, i knew that i was wrong. It is based on a hot selling JP novel where it talk about the way of a merchant do business, i find it quite educating and exciting.


Really cute titanic pose she have there




Dunno why i just love the expression! Moe?

This figure has cast off function too! U need to remove the tail and then you can slide the skirt off.....

Horo tail which she always like to tidy it up with her hand




OK no pantsu shot, she is wearing a pants inside.


The stand of this figure has grass on it (is it grass or weed?)

Really a nice figure and definitely worth collecting! Recently there have been newspaper in my country complaning that all this type of PVC figure are inmoral, too expose, nudity, or wat ever negative stuff.... man hope it wont affect us collector from importing them in to Malaysia.

Nice haul buddy. I think the Yosuba is more attractive. I do collect those pvc figure, I don't think there is a problem with this hobby because I threat the pvc figure as a piece of fine artwork. Heaven or hell, you decided.

Ivan too bad it is true!
The New Street Time and a Malay newspaper has this article came out last week.
I myself am too lazy to search back the link. But i guess if u dwell in some of the local online forum that discuss about figure u will see it.
