Max Factory – Carmen99

Posted in: Figures - Japanese

Another impulsive buy, which then I sold a while ago to an awesome local figure enthusiast. I should never buy figures at an impulse as I will regret it later. Not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I would rather buy a figure that I really like and won’t regret buying. What I mean is if I am low on money, I would not sell that figure. Therefore, it is a good figure I would keep.

Carmen Mendoza is from the anime, “Gun X Sword”. She is called Carmen99 because of her bust size. I watched like the first couple episodes and stopped. Then got back to it and skimmed it to the end. I don’t even remember what happened.

I think the representation of the figure follows an illustration. I don’t remember as it has been a long time since it was released. I don’t really like her boobs. It looks fake. Well, it IS a PVC figure, but the sculpt of the boobs looks fake. Even with her mini jacket squishing her boobs closer, there is still like a huge gap in the middle. Her boobs are so far apart. I could be wrong, but that’s how I see it.

The production of the figure is fairly nice. But there are seam lines over her arms and the side of her body. The paint job is nice but needs improvement for smaller details such as, her gloves and her hair accessories. I also hate her base. It is HUGE and it takes so much room in my detolf case.

Overall, this is a good representation of Carmen99. Her ass is good stuff *thumbs up*. lol. And, this is a good figure for the price tag.
