Before we begin, I must warn you that this review contains minor instances of painful affronts to the phrase 'the shakes' and probably German and French. All in the name of mild humor though.
You'll notice that she's not holding her phone in most/all of these shots - this is mostly because it's pretty hard to put in her hand (although I've only had problems with it more recently, I blame 'the shakes' or, if you want to see me butcher some other language, 'die) shakes' or 'des tremblements'... have I mentioned that French has some great sounding words? Tremblements. I like it. Kinda wish I took that in high school...)
ANYWAY. Getting back to the point. Firstly, let's take a looksie at her box.
It's a box. Now, I actually quite like it, so that's nice for me. It's similar in design to GSC's other Bakemonogatari 1/8s, which means it has 4 windows (front, sides, top), and a nice display on the back, for which I have some detail shots of the text (how to write her name, and some other stuff that feels pretty faithful to the show).
Now let's move to the figure herself. Firstly a quick whip-around the figure.
I'm mostly displaying her with the cat-hair piece and glasses because catgirls are cool, and glasses makes you sexy.
Her face is very pretty, as is her pose in general - taken from the cover of the 5th Bakemono disc item #59955 .
The other thing to note is her frilly under-dress thing (petticoat? I am not one to know things about fashion). I love it. But that might just be too much time spent playing Touhou games and it warping my brain.
Anyway, time for the scores!
SCORING
(Note that scores of 10 will not be given as things could always be better - also scores of 0 will never be given, as things can always be worse, which is much more often useful)
Sculpting: 9/10 - No flaws that I could find. Seems are mostly hidden, nothing at all to complain about - GSC have done very well here.
Painting: 9/10 - Paint job was perfect on everything, even the tiny buttons on her phone were all done well.
Posing: 9/10 - Not only is it accurate to the illustration, it's a very nice pose on it's own. The hand stopping the dress from flying up, the way she's looking towards that direction, it's important to note that you can feel the presence of another person in her pose.
Base: 9/10 - The base is just her desk, and it's actually really nice - quite stable, although obviously not as much as a flat base - and it looks good and suits the figure. Better than just a boring flat disc, at least.
Packaging: 9/10 - The box design is nice, and the blister inside has done a good job of protecting her and stopping any unwanted paint transfer.
Enjoyment: 9/10 - She's just that pretty. Also it was fun to take pictures of her - to be fair, a scaled figure needs to try pretty hard not to get a 9/10 here.
