Taki - AWARD 1st Place at E-2046 Summer Contest 2004

​

It is with great pleasure and honor that I present you Taki from the game Soul Calibur. This figure won the FIRST PLACE in the figure section at the e2046 BBS International Summer 2004 Contest.

I would like to thank the organizers and the judges for the great honor they gave me. I would also like to extend my sincere compliments to all the other 53 participants for their great works of art.

I was literally fascinated when I saw this figure. Taki has always been one of the top-ranking female characters in my personal favorite list. I have searched all around the globe to try and find a figure I could paint for my collection. You can imagine how my heart skipped a beat when last year I encountered this figure for preorder at HLJ. Although as an original Garage Kit the cost was quite high I did not care and preordered it immediately without a second thought.

In my opinion, this is one of the best if not the best kit that came out in 2003. Not only for the great sculpt, the very dynamic pose and overall beauty of the kit but also because (after I assembled it ) the parts were so excellently molded that all of them perfectly fit with each other. The figure also comes with the great rooftop base you see which perfectly fits with Taki's role of a demon hunting ninja. The base was a great add on which nearly no other garage kit has. My sincere compliments go to Wave the producers and the sculptor. They made my work a lot easier and enjoyable.
