The crepe has no paint on it, so it looks a bit bare.

This kit is the After School Cafe Table released as part of Kotobukiya's Sōsai Shōjo Teien series. It's an accessory kit released alongside Yuki Madoka, and it includes a table, two chairs, two drinks, and a crepe. On top of that, you also get a new expression face for Yuki Madoka, a blank face, and wet decals as a bonus.

The drinks, which are molded in a clear material, can be secured by plugging a fixing pin into Yuki Madoka's palm, and the crepe can be held in her hand too — though the hand grip is still not great, so getting her to hold the crepe tightly is a bit of a struggle. It also would've been a lot more charming if the crepe had some paint on it, but it comes in a plain single color that feels a bit un-Kotobukiya-like, which is a little disappointing.

As you can see in the photos above, there's a lot you can do by centering the display around Yuki Madoka's seated parts, and it definitely opens up some fresh and unique display options. That said, whether it's worth the ¥2,200 price tag is going to come down to personal preference. The quality itself is solid enough that there's not much to complain about, so if you're collecting Sōsai Shōjo Teien, this seems like a must-have item :-)
