Frozen in Mid-air

Frozen in Mid-air

Here we go with the official photos of the 2nd figure from MegaHouse's Kuroko No Basuke Figure Series as preorder for the 1/8th scale frozen in mid-air Taiga Kagami figure has opened up (check out the preorder announcement here). As expected, the figure is looking really great in these photos.

Like Tetsuya Kuroko (which will be released this month), Taiga Kagami does not come with any oprional parts and accessories, only the basketball. I wonder if it can be separated from the hand. Anyway, judging from these photos, the paint details were nicely done. The face is spot-on. That's Kagami for sure. Sculpt of the muscle contours, the uniform and the shoes is close to being perfect.

My only complain is that the red color on the hair seems to be lacking in details. I'm expecting that there should be some black lines or shading along the red hair to accentuate the strands. From these shots, it looks like a lump of red-paint fell directly above his head. It may probably be just not visible on these shots though. Hopefully it looks better in person.

Anyway, regardless of that one issue, this is a must get for me and a must for those who are a huge fan of Kuroko No Basuke anime/manga series. Especially if you have preordered Kuroko himself. You wouldn't want to see Kuroko alone in your display shelf, right? And you might wanna look forward also on the upcoming Daiki Aomine, Shintarou Midorima and probably the rest of the Generation of Miracles as well.

Kuroko No Basuke Figure Series - Taiga Kagami is to be released on June 2014 for the price of 8,600 yen (tax included). Preorders are now open (or closed) at HLJ, Amiami, and Hobby Search
