Kadokawa Steins; Gate: Mayuri Shiina (Christmas Version) 1: 7 Scale PVC Figure

Mayuri is my favorite character from Steins;Gate so when I was searching for figures and this one came up it was a no-brainer for me to buy (after a little bit of research, of course). I have a number of authentic Japanese anime figures and this is the best one I own. For starters, Kadokawa is a top tier anime figure manufacturer so you can't go wrong with them as long as it's an authentic figure. I had a pretty good idea what I was getting prior to receiving the figure and it just met and/or exceeded what I had hoped for in every manner. The paint is crisp and clean and the shading to match the folds in her clothes is spot on. They eyes are perfect and overall it just encapsulates the spirit of who Mayuri actually is. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Mayuri (and let's face it, who doesn't???). I do recommend checking out "unboxing" videos online of this figure to get the best feel for what you're getting into. There is an excellent one out there for this particular figure which helped convince me to make the purchase. The one thing I want to point out is that most people have a slight criticism as to how big the base is that she sits on. For starters, yes, it is quite large, and takes up a lot of space in your display case but I believe it's so big because the manufacturers most likely want you to be able to fit the Christmas Kurisu figure on it at the same time. At the time of writing this review, I do not have the Kurisu one yet because it is stuck in Japan due to shipping delays so I cannot say with 100% confidence that this is the case.
