"Zombie-fighting schoolgirl" did this person even watch the anime or read the manga?

Other than that it looks really well done and I hope we get to see the other three girls in the near future.

Huh, that's actually pretty cheap for that level of quality. I might actually buy this one. Anime hyper

This figure of Yuki looks beautiful and very well-made. At $83, the price tag seems generous.

I like the figure, and the face and body are on model. But looking at the picture, I am wondering about the paint job. Since the pictures don't let us zoom close-up it is kinda hard to tell.

Not saying the paint job is bad, but not sure it is very good. What do you all think, looking close at the paint job. Is it very good?

Awww. This figure is too adorable. Super tempted to pick her up.

Any specific concerns with the paint job? It looks pretty good to me. Nice and smooth even in the more detailed areas.

I am just wondering, if the figure of a character is wearing skirts so short that we can see her bottom at the right angle, are the panties sculpted for her as well?

Maybe it is just me and I am expecting too much. But the straps and buckles don't all look that crisp. I rarely buy figures, so when I am extremely tempted, I want to make sure I am not going to have any regrets.

This figure is extremely tempting.

Anecdotally, yes; since this isn't a low quality figure (Amiibo, Mcdonalds toy, etc). This is one of the things to look for on higher end figures with regards to finding bootlegs (the panties, smell of the figure, consistency in paint job, quality of moving parts, etc).

Maybe the figure is hand painted? That would account for the excess silver on the buckle. The figure looks very nice nonetheless, just a tad bit pricey for me at the moment.

She doesn't carry one around all the time.

Not like Kurumi and Shovel-kun xD

She looks fine without the bat anyway.

There are maybe 2-3 scenes in the entire show where I recall her carrying a bat... plus, her character is supposed to be the super cheerful, spoiler[delusional, and unaware of the zombie apocalypse,] one, it would feel really out of place for her to be carrying around a bat. That's Kurumi's character.[/spoiler]
