**Figure Pre-Order: Hyakka Ryoran - Senhime

I have been raving about this figure since I saw it on Tsuki Boards, Alter’s 4th figure from the Hyakka Ryoran range is a perfect complement to the Yagyu Jubei and Hattori Hanzo. Senhime is sculpted and painted with a naginata and detailed kimono hanging off her shoulders.

"A continuing trend of looking good while kicking the crap out of someone"

She has a very stern looking face (which regular readers know I like ^^) and could be compared in visual style to Kanu Unchou. I have made a point this year of collecting the full range of Hyakka Ryoran figures, but I am already losing that battle by missing out on the Yuki Sanada figure (released before I knew about Hyakka Ryoran), Senhime more than makes up for this.

I have taken a risk with this figure, I have place an early pre-order with a company I have not used before called AmiAmi, they are situated in Japan and offer pre-order discounts (18% in the case of Senhime) . I have not been hit by a shipping cost yet so the true test of how cost efficient this service is, is still to come.

Thanks for reading
