“Don’t stare at me like that…”
She just got released and I just got it.
It’s Kagamiku in all her figma glory and no sane Lucky Star fan can be without her. Now we just need a Tosaka Rin Kagami figma and a Miko Kagami figma to make it complete.
Many more photos after the break along with a special! ^^
If you have noticed, I finally got myself a white backdrop for photoshoots at home. I’m guessing you guys are sick and tired of seeing my messy desk and that Linksys router already. That’s not to say you won’t be seeing it again though lol.
With the exams finally over I can finally begin my reviews of my figurines that I have been sitting on for over 2 mths so look forward to many more reviews coming up.
Back to the current topic. For those who do not know, this version of Kagami comes from the Lucky Star OVA. As to how Kagami came to wear this wonderful costume is best described with a video.
So lets take a look at Kagami straight from the box.
Adorable isn’t she?
While she may be cosplaying as Hatsune Miku, there are certain differences, most notable her twintails which are nowhere as long as Miku’s though no less cute if not more.
Also, note the differences with her arm acessories. Kagamiku cosplayers might want to take note.
K H for Kagami Hiiragi. The moeblob cat design for the arm is cute too.
Her headsets are the same though.
Such a cute blush
I have noticed that a major gripe with some people is the the body joint which was introduced sometime around when Yagami Hayate from Nanoha StrikerS was released.
While Hayate’s body joint was not that visible due to her black barrier jacket, Kagami’s silver costume makes it very much visible. It seems to be sufficient to prevent some people from buying her.
To be honest, I don’t see what the joint really does considering you don’t get much articulation from it (only for Kagami. Hayate moves pretty well with the joint). It is true that the joint is rather disconcerting if you concentrate too much on it. Not to mention it makes Kagami look chubby around the waist. Bet she’s trying to diet right now =P.
Kagami comes with the ranka pose!
Certainly something I didn’t expect them to include into the package when I first saw the preview.
Well, it just means I don’t have to photoshop a hand for the Lucky Star gang if I ever want to do the pose.
You can see Nanoha, Exia and ??? do the ranka pose courtesy of my photshop last time.
Kira~
キラ~
Of course, you cannot cosplay as Hatsune Miku without leeks.
<3
And here’s the face that is pretty much the clincher for buying the package. I was surprised they never included such a face for Kagami in the original figma considering how much they used Kagami as a tsukkomi for Konata’s boke.
And the best part is that both Kagami and the cosplay ver. Kagami (or Kagamiku) are able to exchange faces. This is going to make posing alot more fun.
I was too lazy to bring out Kagami to try on the angry face so I just took one of Kagami’s faces and put it into Kagamiku.
Double キラ~
And now for some comparisons with the real thing, Hatsune Miku herself.
An unexpected meeting……
While taking the photos, I noticed that Kagami was alot less balanced as compared to Miku though that can be attributed to the fact that Miku’s twintails are much longer and heavier with the weight center much lower as compared to Kagami.
Kagami’s twin tails are also unable to swing too close to the body so her twintails occupy quite some lateral space.
Kagami: “My leeks are bigger than yours”
Miku: “So is your waist”
Kagami:” >_<||”
A leek comparison shows that Kagami has the bigger leeks though. Will this be a cause for future tension? XD
Almost like a family photo XD
Anyway, it seems Miku approves.
And now for something I cooked up.
Stay tuned for the next review.
You can’t have one Kagamiku without the other you know…… XD
Moe moe kyun~
Kagami has joined the rank with Mikuru & Mio.
Besides ‘Tohsaka Rin’ Kagami, I want maid Kagami also….
so KH doesn’t stand for ‘Kingdom Hearts’. >.<
I can’t wait for mine to come.
I love that gif :P
Dangit… those faces and hand pose are tempting! >_<
Awesome figure… awesome GIF
at first pic..
“minaiide..hazukashi~” (possibly wrong spelling somewhere)
I’m firing my Moe Moe Kyun! *O*
You are doing it wrong!
MOE MOE KYUN TENKYOUKEN XD !
lol, I thought you already own the Kagamiku (according to previous msn avatar)>_<
Anyway, this is one awesome figma.
And reading this article and watching the video remind me of how much I miss Kagami, and Lucky Star..
@Setsukyie: Ah, that is Kagami’s head transplanted on Hatsune Miku’s body and then photoshopped to have green hair ^^
hehe nice moe moe beam
its like the one of Mio
I bought my Kagami Cosplaying figma at an anime convention, but how come her face doesn’t have the blush?
@Helena: I believe it should have a blush ^^;
