Alter Subaru Nakajima, 2 left feet

Racing the highways and slamming the fiends with a physical assault. A fierce ‘melee’ warrior, quick, agile and relentless fighter in the world of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha … That must be Subaru Nakajima. Subaru is introduced in the last season of Nanoha named StrikerS. Along her friend Teana Lanster she makes her way to the 6th devision created by Hayate Yagami.

When Subaru was young a terrible fire broke out. She had struggled and cried for her sister between the burning furnitures of the building until a pillar started to collapse. She fell down and cried and yelled as she was going to die. Suddenly a pillar  moved but froze in it’s fall. Behind the dark shadows of the pillar a friendly smile appeared. Nanoha safed her, she called out  her magical device Raging Heart and casted her famous ’starlight buster’. A moment later Subaru found herself safe. Nanoha’s warm arms wove the the cold breeze of the lonely night which dazed before her eyes as they fly to in the sky. As she rose her eyes she would meet Nanoha’s friendly smile as the dazing stars passes. In that moment she promised to be brave. Then she broke in tears and awaited her big sister.

The first firm and solid Subaru with a superb motion figure will now be reviewed. I think the motion and expression of the figure is the best way to put Subaru down. She never gives up, never hold back and the determined eyes sparkles. I love it. Nevertheless I must warn you, the figure really is expensive. It’s around the $100 (for Europeans at least) dollar to get you this figure. The base does eat up a lot of space. It’s just a plain, huge white rectangle place holder of the figure. You should put some figures on top to utilize your little room space.

Let’s start with 3 shots of Subaru without the wings and the dancing lights of her powered up device, ready for buster.

Did I not told you? The figure bursts with action, ready to roll on forever. You only need to to take out the figure and place the left feet on his stance at the base. It slips in fine. The wings and whirlwind in contrary is quite painful. The whirlwind thingy on her right hand should be placed on the inside of her wrist. Though to get the whirlwind there you must avoid her big head, the stiff hair and obviously the little space between her shoulder and hand.

I did spent a lot of time troubling with her feet. It took me about 20 minutes to discover I have a figure with 2 left feets. It would mean I will never have the ability to have a left and right side wing. Cursed I bloated I return it to the store, but given the trouble and the actually problem, I reconsider. I now think I have one of the more unique Subaru’s around . Well, I don’t see the trouble any longer so stick with me accepting the tiny issue.

I can’t say the Subaru figure is a must-have. The figure sprouts with life given her motion and action I would definitely rate it a 8 out of 10 for total score, reminding you I’m a total Nanoha-fan.
