Another figure from the Gainax stripping mahjong game… Asuka was the first one I built. A rather controversial figure, many people complained it’s either too explicit or her breasts too big, or it’s just not Rei at all. But judging from the number of people who own this kit, like other Ryujin sculpts, is an instant crowd favorite. Being the H modeler I can’t pass up this kit can I :)

Probably due to the nature of the kit, Ryujin didn’t sell it through his own company but instead through Gainax.

Kit Review Seam lines: 4/5 Pinholes: 4/5 Casting: 4/5 Fit:3/5 Part Break: 5/5 Help

Is it my luck or what, ran into a series of kits with fit problems. The fit bugs this time are her right leg and her right cast arm. The right leg doesn’t seem to fit perfectly like other Ryujin kits and I had to do some filling afterwards. There was a large gap between her cast arm and her legs, I had to shorten the arm a bit before everything would fit.
BuildingIt’s a pretty standard build up, though I was very pleased with the skintone. I think she’ll get better pictures on a clear base because of the light reflecting from down under and there are some back details you can see. The only regret about this kit is the hair hides most of her eyebrows, which was frowning. So we’re missing some expression here

  1. Beautifully done! The skintones are superb IMO and the face is flawless.
