The thrill and action of marine combat can now be yours with an all-new Kantai Collection figure from Bellfine, this time featuring the Shigurei Kai-II Destroyer in 1/7th scale!
Kantai Collection, the hyper-popular game revolving around battleships in the form of girls, features real-world ships with different designs. Shigure is a destroyer-class ship, which means she wields cannons and torpedos.
The figure comes with an incredible amount of detail, including a dynamic base that makes it appear as if Shigure is gliding along the water. She’s also covered in battle damage and dirt, capturing the intensity of the battle.
The figure also beautifully captures Shigure in a dynamic, battle-hardened pose, as if she’s in the middle of a fierce shootout on the sea. Even her weaponry is given battle-damaged treatment, and her firm grip in one hand and outstretched palm with the other demonstrate a fierce, determined atmosphere about her.
The damage to her weapons and the detail is even more visible from the side, making it seem like her weapons are actually made out of metal. Small cuts in her leggings and clothes add to this feeling and even capture the way the wind moves as she falls back with her ribbons and hair flowing with the wind.
Shigure’s appearance in this figure matches the way she appears after taking damage in the Kantai Collection game, including her ripped school uniform and dirtied skin. Her fierce, determined look is also captured perfectly in her intense gaze, and from the front, her powerful pose is even more gripping.
The sculpting and detail extends to all the parts of the figure, even to the smallest parts like her torpedos peering from their holsters to her small ribbons and the way her skirt folds and responds to her movement.
Her base also features color variations between blue, white, and purple, capturing the essence of the ocean in a way that makes it appear as if it’s being illuminated by the artillery above. The positioning of her shoes also captures how she’s moving along the waters surface, as if she’s gliding.
Her curved, powerful pose shows her falling backwards, either from the artillery recoil or from the way she’s moving across the water as she fights. The amount of detail across the entire figure allow Shigure to be displayed at ay angle and still catch anybody’s attention.
Pre-orders for the figure are up now, with a release date planned for October 2023. Fans of Kantai Collection won’t want to miss the opportunity to add this iconic character in the heat of battle to their collection!
