Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m an only child and all of my cousins are younger than me, so I’ve always wished for an older brother or sister… and when I try to think of who would be the perfect older brother for me, I always come to the conclusion that it should be Koyomi Araragi!<\/p>\n

On that note, today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1\/8th scale of one of his real little sisters…<\/p>\n

Karen Araragi!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen-chan!!! \u2665\u2665<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nJust look at that long flowing hair!
\nThat bright yellow jersey!<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe jet black tank-top! <\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Those hips underneath the tank-top!<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

An energetic pose filled with highlights for the Fire Sister in charge of combat – Karen-chan! The interesting thing is that the figure also has a strangely sexy appeal to it too!!<\/p>\n

Speaking of Karen and sexy… that toothbrushing scene really was something I don’t think anyone will ever forget… I for one most enjoyed it!<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is how she looks from the back! Look at all those dynamic twists and turns in her hair! It’s quite hard to tell through all the clothes, but her spine has also been faithfully sculpted onto the figure!(\u03c3\u30fb\u2200\u30fb)\u03c3<\/p>\n

Speaking of clothes though, her yellow jersey <\/strong>can actually be removed!<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSummer mode! \u2665<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course the Fire Sisters fried-egg-like hair accessory has also been faithfully sculpted on the figure!<\/p>\n

Let’s see if we can get a better angle from lower down…<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nHmm… a little more….<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThat line from her hips to her stomach!! What a sight!!<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to personally thank the wind for blowing her tank-top up like this for us to see inside! \u30fe(*\u00b4\u2200\uff40*)\uff89<\/span><\/p>\n

Karen-chan may be a powerful fighter who dedicates her body to justice… but she’s still a girl with some lovely, lady-like points! (\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nHer cute bottom also gets a very high score in my book!<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThe boundary line of skin between her pants and tank-top is lovely! (*\u00b4\uff65\u2200\uff65)\uff8c\uff8e\uff8e<\/p>\n

Hmm, and this area gets three stars for softness:<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nHer folded arms are placed in such a way that they’re almost inviting you to take a look from the top like this… I couldn’t help myself!<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nBut there is still much more to enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on we have… her beautiful legs!!!<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nFrom what I’ve been told, her legs and pants are also both made as separate parts… and that means…
\nI’m sure you can guess that that means! (\u03a6\u03c9\u03a6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Karen herself is amazing, but there is another part to this figure that I haven’t even touched on yet! The huge road roller base is just as amazing!
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nAs you might guess, the little lights on the bottom section are fitted with a joint to be placed at whatever angle you want! (\u30fb\u2200\u30fb)<\/p>\n

The bolts all over the stand are also incredibly intricate! \u266a
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nApparently the production team went out and bought specialist magazines about heavy machinery in order to help sculpt this correctly! The roller section even includes areas that are battered and dented from all the previous jobs!<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThe gradient on the hand rails even adds a slight fading effect to some of the paint – just as you’d expect to see on this kind of machinery!<\/p>\n

“Leave it to me!<\/strong><\/span>
\n       I’ll follow Onii-chan’s orders without question!!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nA refreshing line filled with confidence! (…and maybe a trace of masochism.)
\n I wish I could say it myself!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nThe 1\/8th scale:
\nKaren Araragi!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She’s on sale in stores now!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
