Yue Kisaragi [Diva Costume]

Kit Review

Straight build

This kit is Yue Kisaragi [Diva Costume] from the Sōsai Shōjo Teien series. As a new Sōsai Shōjo Teien character, she's dressed in a flashy stage costume this time around — she looks like she could step right out of Macross.

First off, the color separation is impressively done across the board — the complex costume is perfectly recreated without a single sticker. The black parts on the torso and even the thin gold rings on the arms have been broken down into separate parts with almost obsessive dedication. That said, the black parts around the stomach area are so tiny that trimming the gates and assembling them was a bit of a pain.

Articulation is decent given the overall design, and the joints are sturdy enough to hold any pose you put her in. For a kit loaded with so many dangling decorations, parts retention is also pretty solid. And true to her character as a singer, a microphone is included — you get two different types of microphones along with a microphone stand. On top of that, the right skirt decoration uses a pearl powder-infused molded color, adding an extra touch of glamour.

All in all, this is a well-made girlpla with clean quality. The excellent sculpt and high-level color separation give it a look that stands apart from your typical girlplas. The parts breakdown on the costume in particular feels more dedicated than just about any other kit out there. Either way, if the style appeals to you, this is a high-quality girlpla that's well worth recommending. :-)
