It's been pretty busy around here with end of year work and travel arrangements and also the ongoing process of swapping my office and the master bedroom for what will ultimately be enough figure display space to keep me in this hobby for the next five years or so. I feel bad for the lack of updates but now that I'm on vacation I can at least do a post about an upcoming figure I'm excited about, the next in Wave's line of swimsuit gals from the popular mobile game Azur Lane, Admiral Hipper-class Heavy Cruiser KMS Prinz Eugen.
Behold! What a cutie. Actually the first SSR ship I built in Azur Lane and the first premium outfit I bought with gems earned from the story mode. This figure is very closely based on her in-game artwork and I think Wave have done a pretty good job of recreating her and her tiny swimsuit.
I really love the floating effect and with the clear pylon supporting her on her clear blue inner tube. As well as the supports for her ship parts. The water base also is super cool looking and a step up from the rather plain bases on previous figures in the line, Akagi and Kaga. Also, It looks like she's going to be a fairly simple figure to set up right out of the box which is something I appreciate.
In closeups you can see they really captured her cute expression and have done justice to her physique which is just barely contained by her swimsuit. What an absolute pleasure this figure will be to have on the shelf. She's due out in June 2020, with a discounted price of 16,150JPY on Amiami for the exclusive release version which includes a "Acrylic Strap." Not sure what that is, exactly, but we'll find out.
I've pre-ordered her already and can't wait. I really love Wave's Akagi and am looking forward to reviewing Kaga for the site soon. I just hope that Prinz Eugen doesn't suffer from some of the minor issues I had with Akagi. I'm sure she'll be great either way.
