An old friend of mine had called me somewhat out of the blue last week saying that he had found an Asuka figure that he thought I might like and he needed my address so he could send it to me. As happy as I was to hear from him, my heart filled with dread when I heard it was an Asuka figure as I own lots of Asuka figures and there is a greater chance of a duplicate than a non-duplicate at this point. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally fetched her from the post office today though..
Once I opened the box and seen what the figure was my jaw dropped. I was not expecting a 1/4 scale Asuka from Aizu project. Tokyo Kid had one of this same figure in their window the last time I was there and they wanted $400 some for it and I had seriously thought about it but relented and bought a bunch of different stuff instead (including my Piaway statue from Vandread). I had always kind of regretted my decision not to get her when I had the chance.
She was a most delightful surprise, not only is she huge (she’s 1/4 scale) she is absolutely gorgeous.

Wow, that definitely is a wonderful surprise. That is a very lovely Asuka! Congrats on getting her!
Are her clothes actual fabric?
Ahhh Aizu project Asuka, I have the 1/2.5 version of Asuka and decided it was good enough for me. I don’t know if Aizu even make figures anymore, they are quite old school. Back in early 2003, Aizu was one of my favorite coldcast manufacturers.
