Gorgeous Blue

There are always pieces that have not been able to be bought, and still are very desired, when you’re having a collection. And this is a great moment of self-conceit when you manage to find one of those treasure. Well, that’s what happened to me, when I purchased this Niigi Gorgeous Blue figure few days ago.

Once again, I was charmed by an unknown character. But her very interresting clothing style got me.
The cat who is following her has a funny “face” expression, and reminds me one of those proud and pretentious animal characters in Walt Disney movies like Aristocats, Cinderella etc… Very good memories of youth, that may be one reason for which I like this figure.

Niigi is fixed to her base by a screw. Another way to prevent figures from leaning issues, but I’m not really convinced about the efficacity of this tip.

I do know nothing about this girl, excepted the title of the universe she’s from, at last : Shikigami no Shiro II, a scrolling shooter game released in 2003/04 in Japan, for almost all platforms at that time : GameCube, PS2, DreamCast, Xbox, Windows and of course, the one which came first, arcade.

I took those pictures before I was aware of her origins, but I instinctively knew she would look great next to vehicules with big engines. Fortunately, Cloud who is a good guy lent his bike for the photo.
The funny thing is that I would have preferred a kind of plane or copter. I have Cid HighWind but it’s too small and scales don’t match. Anyway, this is a proof of the very good design of Niigi, according to what she does and where she comes from.

Everybody want to be a Cat!
