1/1 Scale Rishu Figure with Ink Brush

Here is a figure I have hunted for for a while! I'm not sure who produced it since I can't read Japanese. But this is considered a 1/1 scale figure for Rishu. The 1/1 scale tends to vary on who does the figure, especially for a character like Rishu! Personally I think she is much smaller.

The figure has Rishu holding her ink brush. The entire figure is made of plastic/vinyl. It is attached to a heavy plastic gold painted base via metal rods. She is not poseable. The painting on this figure could be a little cleaner; the sculpt itself could also be improved. Especially since this figure originally cost a pretty penny when it first came out!

Clip On Mascot

 

When I was little, I had a few tiny stuffed toys; the arms where actually clips that you can attach to your backpack or pencil, whatever.  You don't see them around anymore now unless you get them at a trade show along with a bunch of other useless toys.

So during one convention, I saw a girl with a little plastic Rishu with her arms hanging onto her purse! I asked her about it and she said a vendor was selling them.  Sadly, I didn't find them.  The only other person I had seen with this was a Shao cosplayer.  Yes, I was jealous.

Cue my post-2003, I-have-disposable-income-finally! I got one of these figures in the lot that had the Rishu UFO catcher.  That's how I found that there are a blind box toy; there are THREE different facial expressions you can get!

My sweet BF swooped on an eBay auction of a second Rishu clip (sitting on the Rishu mouse pillow!).  So far, I have the eyes closed/smiling version and the eyes open/close mouth version.  At some point, I want to get the last figure AND one of the blind boxes.  :)
