This is my Hobby Angel figure, which I was led to believe was a Hobby Japan exclusive (although it seems to be available at inordinate amount of stores for that). I had seen her at a convention previously and was wowed by her but the seller wanted a ridiculous amount that I could not justify (I remembered that they wanted over $150 but I don’t remember the exact amount). I had kind of forgotten about her until I seen her pop up in a clearance sale recently. Not only did I buy the last one they had in stock but I only ended up paying about $40 shipped from her from Play-asia.

So she is part girl and part plane. She has a character design by the guy that does Sgt. Frog and I have to admit I am normally not a fan of his art style but I adore it on this figure. I do love the colors it adds a nice industrial touch to the figure over and above the plane parts attached to her. The plane parts are so delicately interweaved with the figure giving her a cute but powerful look. Especially with the pose it almost feels like she is going to blast off the shelf. The sculpt is amazing with an equal amount of detail on the girl herself and her plane parts.
