What can i say ...
Hum the casting isn't really good in fact. I am kind of disapointed, i hope i'll be able to manage it, when i'll work on her.
Nevertheless, i'm glad your brought this kit back.
i still look for some old kits to get.
Thanks.

The most important thing I want to mention about this kit is that what you will get is NOT what is pictured! This girl's right leg does not have the legging and moon anklet that the reference pictures show, but instead the leg is bare except for a sock that matches the left leg. Also the shoe dangles off the foot, so this difference is both good and bad. I was a little disappointed though, since this doesn't often happen with E2046 kits.
Now onto the casting. This is an older kit so I was expecting some problems. Unfortunately I was right, the parts fit in this is not that great, especially in the many hair pieces. Every piece of the hair will have to be puttied together, and a lot of prep work will be required to remove the large amounts of flash from the inside of the hair pieces. To add to the problem, the small and delicate pieces of hair, ribbons, etc were not protected in bubble wrap or foam, but instead thrown in a bag with other large, heavy pieces so I have quite a bit of damage to repair. Kinda takes away my excitement for this kit after waiting almost an entire year for it, to see this many problems. I hope E2046 decides to have a serious talk with this workshop, both about packaging parts and mold integrity. If this quality continues I don't know if I'll continue some of my orders, this is not good.
