Other Remarks:

Remember Elwing from the "Sega Gals 02"? This time round we have the gorgeous elfish girl joined by other heroine from that Sega RPG game in this Yujin SR series and the bikini-clad Elwing can be a bit irresistible for me to get her loose together with Ryuna, the priestess.

Elwing ~Bikini Ver.~

I think the blond Elwing truly suits the color green and here she is donning an amazon-inspired leafy bikini. ELwing has a beautiful face sculpt with a teasing expression which seems to unravel the hearts of many otakus. The overall sculpt is very good as well unlike that assembly nightmare I had for the last Elwing figure and at least the wings on her head is attached firmly unlike her predecessor whose wings drops out at every small nudge.

Ryuna

A priestess who is very inspired the Chinese element of Yin & Yang which can be seen in various aspects of her attire such as the hair clip, the sleeve and even the color theme of the magical staff. I am not too fascinated with the character design but more of the interesting priestess' accessory and weapon. The base is pretty useless to hold Ryuna in place and the fact that the Yujin SR series has been obsessed with this style of anchoring the figurine in place which is apparently not working for many cases such as Ryuna here who begins to lean very much forward.
