All 9 characters lined up in front of the backdrop. Quite a spectacular sight, though collecting them all doesn't come cheap. ^^;

This kit is Hanamaru Kunikida, the last release in the 9-piece Figure-rise Burst series from Love Live! Sunshine!!. The contents are the same as previous releases, and since there are no real articulated parts, you can just sit back and enjoy the finished sculpt.

Compared to the other characters, Hanamaru has more of a cute vibe going on — rather than being glamorous, she strikes an adorable pose with a charming expression. The cute little arm pose and mouth shape just ooze personality, and honestly the visuals make her more tempting to pick up than some of the other characters.

With this kit, all 9 Love Live characters can finally be gathered together, and if you follow the manual and combine the background panels and stand pillars, you can put together quite a stunning group shot. A lot of people have probably been collecting them one by one just to build that group shot — but getting all 9 kits will run you close to 200,000 won, so it's a bit of a commitment.

Anyway, the Love Live series wraps up here at 9 kits total. It's a lot to collect all at once, but being able to build a great-looking character at a lower price than a finished figure makes it worthwhile. :-)
