Muramasa's Momohime - sculpted in 3D

From the Wii action game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade. - here is one of the main characters, Momohime, finally sculpted as a 1/8 scale figure by Alter.

The figure is really, really well made. Impressive in person as it was when it was first announced last March 2010. The sculpt and coloring, all done very well. It is really amazing to see the amount of detail and work that was put into this figure.


The box itself is very well made! First for me time to order direct to a Japanese hobby site (Amiami.com.).
A very good experience so far.

The colors used matches exactly as it is in the game. Not to mention Momohime's overall look and features.


Momohime's got a dynamic/flowing pose. This is the option with the samurai unsheathed.

Momohime's arms are removable, so that you can adjust the pose with the Samurai - about to be unsheathed or out and ready to swing. I opted for the latter as it adds to the 'movement' effect of the figure.

Though because of this feature, the seamlessness of the figure is broken, since you can see the line in one of her arms. Personally I don't mind it at all.


The details of the figure are amazing. I can imagine how long it took for the design to get things just right and exact as what is in the game.

Sorry for the 'warm' pics as this was a quick pictorial and done with just indoor lighting (and white balance set to Tungsten). But judging already from the initial pics, Momohime is really fun to take pics of. The dynamic pose makes it even better.


Very nice sculpt indeed. Alter made good on this one.

Kudos to Alter for bringing in another masterpiece!

Now as to whether Muramasa will be animated...that still remains to be seen. But not an impossibility ;-)

Cheers!
