Claymore no. 47 Clare

introducing, Claymore no. 47, Clare. bought this figure at ebay. i was not that satisfied with the item i received though. there are better versions of this figure i saw in the internet. very different from the figure i got. but what the heck. i like Clare. i was instantly hooked after this anime was introduced to me by my friend. then he asked me to read the manga, that according to him is way better than that of the anime version. i'm glad that i did!

the manga series is not finished yet. manga or anime lovers should check this out sometime. the plot is great. the characters are very interesting. plus majority of the characters are girls. claymores are half human half yoma (creatures) who were sent by the organization to different towns to eliminate these yoma creatures. click here to read the full plot. feel free to read the entire series here.

on this set is this series' lead character Clare. she's one of the warriors called Claymore. during her generation, she was no. 47 out of 47 claymore warriors. their number serves as their title or rank, the lower the number, the higher their rank is.

i've read that the megahouse corporation only released one character for this series. and of course it has to be none other than the progragonist of the series, No. 47 Clare. this figure belongs to 1/8 scale figures. what i like about this figure is that her arm is replacable, one was her original arm and then the other one is the arm given to her by irene. also, you can equip her huge sword on her hand, and at the same time sheath her sword on her back which for me is really cool.

there are a lot of flaws on the figure i got. the paint is weird, her silver eyes are not that realistic. their eyes turns to silver everytime they wield their yoma powers.

here are some of the photos i took of her. just used a purple bakcground, 1 light via shoot through umbrella.

most of the people refer a claymor warrior as the "silver eyed" witch. notice her eyes are painted silver.

jingai makyo ignis 1/7 pvc figure

yey! finally got a myself an ignis figure.. good friend of mine finally informed me to google for "jingai" instead of "jingay".

information taken from wikipedia:


Jingai Makyō (塵骸魔京, Jingai Makyō?) is a Japanese adult visual novel game developed by Nitroplus that was released on June 24, 2005. According to sources it is defined as a "Romantic Adventure". As the game has not been translated into English, very little is known about it to English readers. Despite this, the visual novel has stunning visuals and good voice cast and a captivating story that will keep most readers interested from beginning to end.

As there is no true translation of Jingai Makyou's story in English although what little can be determined is that it is a game where Demonic creatures exist and manipulate the world behind the scenes (called NARAZARU). Some are good and just want to live in the world, while others have grander goals of opening the Demon Gate and make the earth their prize.

The main character is a Japanese college student (Whose name also does not have a good Translation), who lost his parents in an accident and since then has been cared for by his landlady. He has a strange set of eyes, with one blue eye and one red eye His little sister Hui, goes to boarding school in England, but still comes back to visit him from time to time. His best friend Aya Susuji's has always been supportive of the main character and has stuck by him through thick and thin. Still the main character is an unusual person for he has strange dreams in his sleep, seeing visions of a beautiful black haired maiden with a black umbrella, who speaks to him in his dreams. This begins to become more prevalent when he starts seeing her in the waking world, and does not understand what is happening to him. This leads him on a path to discovering the existence of the Narazaru and playing a vital role that will either save the world or lead it on the path of destruction.

Igunisu(Ignis) (Protector of Humanity): Ignis is one of the few characters out of Jingai Makyou known to western audiences. She is a Demon Hunter with fiery red hair and an attractive figure. She's an expert martial artist and has superb skills with a Katana and numerous other weapons that she uses in her Demon Hunting. Despite not having the superhuman abilities of the Narazaru, she's more than a match in battle for them, using her superb fighting skills to overcome the most dangerous of adversaries. Despite her tough exterior, she's a friendly woman who quickly gets attracted to the main Hero of the game. Her flaw however is that she's zealous in her work and hence has earned enemies even among the Good aligned demons. Ignis plays a role on every route of the game and perhaps is the most powerful heroine of the three.

anyway, i was able to shoot several shots of her. but for the meantime, i will only post one. which i made as my current desktop wallpaper. :p

this figure is really awesome. i just wished i was able to get a more descent figure since this one has some damages, her katana blade's paints were slightly ripped off. there are some black marks on some parts of her bodies.. but it was worth it.. i really loved this figure the moment i saw it on the internet. i just wish i have enough budget to buy other versions of her.

it's 1/7 scale and produced by max factory. i will try to post more photos of her soon! enjoy!

thank you Cent!!!
