At a Glance (click to enlarge)
Marinoa or Mari-chan is based on an illustration by Tomari. She’s also Tomari’s first original character to be turned into a figure.
WING hasn’t been prolific these past few years. Their output has increased recently, though. They took their time with Marinoa, but it’s clear they weren’t sitting idly. The translation from illustration to prototype and now to painted prototype have gone well. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s start with Miss Truless’ face and hair.
Subpar faces do more damage to figures than the customs agents inspecting them. In this case, you will only have to worry about customs agents. Marinoa’s face is excellent. It’s almost a 1:1 representation of the source. Her smile extends beyond her mouth to her eyes. But they haven’t fully conveyed it from the source. Her expression is still smiling, but not in the same way. It seems more excited than gentle. There’s still feeling in her expression; she comes across like a fun onee-san type. While I really like her gentle face, the slight difference between the source illustration is not much of an issue for me. Even with her non-standard pupils, Marinoa’s eyes aren’t vacant. Her blush is well-placed too. WING did a great job sculpting her mouth’s interior. So depending on where you look, more or less of her fangs are on display. The color is as good as the detail. The shade of red is suitable to contrast with her pink tongue.
For her nose, I would have liked more emphasis on it from the front. There isn’t emphasis on her lips in the illustration, so her nose is the only thing that stands out. Though it’s not a pointy nose, it does stand out. Her chin is also sharper in the illustration. Here, her cheeks are a bit more round than they should be. Hakoiri Musume’s Arigane Alice, of whom we already spoke, comes to mind.
