Little Buster! ~ Kurugaya Yuiko
Oct 26th, 2008 by valho
Don’t really know anything about Little Busters! except that it’s a game developed by Key. So why do I have a I figure I know nothing about in my collection? Simple, I like girls with weapons and a girl with katana is just too tempting ^^. So I just grab her from HS since she’s still instock.
Yuiko comes in a very small box due to her pose and a plain white base with the series name written on it. Of course the most important thing is she comes with her katana ^^. According to Wiki, the katana is a replica of Muramasa, but I have no idea why she holds one though.
Toys Works also have another version of Yuiko, but kinda prefer the Koto one though. Both are quite sexy with the unbutton blouse ^^.
Koto hair sculpting still not as nice as GSC or MF or Alter haha, but at least those strands of hair looks ok.
The katana is quite simple, but the hilt itself is quite detail.
Her skirt is removable, it’s split into two parts and attached using pegs. Sorry no photos of her without her skirt haha.
A decent looking figure from Koto, nicely painted and sculpted. The only complain is the katana can break easily, since the blade is partially of out the scabbard, just a bit of force will break the blade from the scabbard. That was what happen to mine, fortunately it was easy to epoxy it back together.

So pwo, got all those stuffs just for the figure. ;_;
lol, but you’re right. I don’t have a clue about Little Busters, but I do have seen a few trailers, know it’s made by Key and it’s a game. Though there figures looks often great. If it wasn’t my wallet restraining me I would probably have one myself.
The katakana is indeed very detailed. Good paintshop, but less on the hair.
nice background and props
@Sora~haha got them long time ago lo
@Hirvine~yeah all I know is that its a game haha.
@yumyu~thanks
Girls with weapons are always a great addition to a collection.Girls with slightly exposed eyes even more.
I dont know anything about LittleBusters either but i like its Character Design
Very cute figure although the face could use a bit more touch up work but apart from that is very nice.
The set is very nice, although I keep taking outdoor shots I’d like to start making set ones but I need to find some sort of space to do it which is kinda hard in my house at the moment XD.
One thing though, you keep mentioning she’s from Koto (and she is) but you wrote on the company Good Smile, think you want to rectify that ^_^
@Blowfish~yup agree ^^. The character design are quite nice, my friend is collecting all of the Little busters figures
@Belela-san~the figure is nice but not perfect ^^. I have a fairly large work table, so that give me quite a large space for my figures shoot.
Hahah yeah just changed it, copy and pasted it from Nanoha post and forgot to change the company
Like many others, I know nothing of Little Busters ^^;;
Interesting figure though; I can see that you’re getting more girls with katanas :P. A very exposed front (nearly thought the shirt is cast-offable given how the shirt is shown like so) @_@. And again, simple and effective use of the background there. I like it~
Wow! Your photography really shows off the quality of this figure!
Needless to say, I don’t think my wife would approve if I bought this figure…
I like the little bamboo mat. Is that used as a cup mat?
@Q~haha most won’t know unless they play japanese pc game i guess.
Haha yes, my fetish for girls with weapon is showing LOL, unfortunately the shirt is not cast-offable, but then I am not really a fan of cast off figures so it’s ok ^^
@radiant~thanks, haha. the bigger bamboo mat is use for making sushi, the smaller one is for cups and stuff ^^
