Elven - Elwing

Elwing is an elven maiden from PS2 game, the Shining Tears and also the Shining Wind. This figure by Kotobukiya is based on the Shining Wind version. Although I have never played the game and only watched few episodes of the Anime, Shining Tears X Wind, I like the girls from that series alot; or in fact, I like Tony Taka work.

I always wonder what the correct spelling of her name is. Is it Elwing or Elwyn? The box comes with the figure spells Elwing, but in the English version of the Shining Tears, her name spells Elwyn. The Shining Wind art book spells Elwing, so 2 to 1, I am going to use Elwing in this post.

The skin tone on Elwing is a little pale (maybe just mine); that makes her look kinda of sick although she is smiling. The base is just plain green, and nothing else but copy right and where it is made in the bottom. Also you can not have the figure off the base (I believe). Well, I'm not a base lover, so it doesn't really matter to me. I think if you like the Shinig Tears X Wind or Tony Taka work, you should definitely get this figure.

Some closer look at the figure. One thing, I mean two, very standing out are her eyes.

The skirt is cast-off able. I was going to take some pictures with it off, but the camera went out of battery last night. Well, I can at least tell you that she wears white pantsu ^^
