Novice Hame! A cat nun! Almost as mad as the face in a jar that she cares for. It’s a crazy concept, and quite freakish in many ways, but she’s an image I wholeheartedly approve of! It was therefore with much excitement that I awaited this figure, and were my hopes dashed? Yes and no!

This figure is really wonderful in many ways. It truly captures the essence she had about her, and the posability is very interesting. It’s quite unlike the other characters in a lot of ways, specifically because her arms are modelled on loose-fitting clothes, so fall down at the sleeves in the arms properly, and this is certainly a style I wouldn’t want to see on all the figures, but it works fine for her and gives a nice look.

The paintwork on the face is marvellous, really comes up a treat. Unfortunately the rest of the paintwork is rubbish, to be frank! All the clothes are the same colour grey and this really lets it down. I think the main problem with this figure is that there aren’t any major faults - but there aren’t any major plusses either.

It just blends into a collection and doesn’t make much of an impression! It’s a shame, as she is so unusual and could be much better, but doesn’t have anything that drags her down into the realms of bad figures. That’s why it has a high score, but just doesn’t make much of an impression!
