Cardcaptor Sakura Figure Collection
Review date: 9/25/2005

Released: 2005

A fairly impressive set. I was more impressed with the overall design rather than the figures themselves. The figures are actually quite small compared to other CCS trading figures. These are more in line with diorama figures. The sculpt for the figures themselves are nice but not totally accurate. Sakura is much taller and thinner than her anime counterpart. Tomoyo and Kero look decent too. Kero looks quite accurate actually. The outfits and set pieces are great though. There are a lot of details like the petals in the cherry blossom tree and the feathers for the wings of another figure. My only complaint is the soft plastic made for her sword. That figure with the sword is my least favorite design of the bunch too. The rest of the figures are very eye-catching though (especially the schoolgirl outfit version). The overall design for all the figures are very well done.

The paint is nice and solid. Very little slop and the colors are quite accurate. Minor airbrushing here and there but it's well done. The problem was that there was some paint which was stuck to the bottom of Tomoyo's legs. No big deal since it's not visible. The set is nicely painted overall.

Overall: B+
A very well designed set of diorama figures. The concept and execution is great and I was impressed with the overall look of the sculpt themselves. Fans will probably dig this set. I recommend them for hardcore fans.
