It’s been a while since the unveil of the Star Wars Bishoujo Jaina Solo, and we really haven’t heard a lot of her since then. They’ve clearly been taking their time on the sculpt, which to me at least is always a good thing. Better a long wait and a great sculpt than a quick release that’s sub-par right? Well, Jaina just popped up on Big Bad Toy Store sculpted & painted, so it seems like the wait is over!
The body sculpt here looks fantastic, with lots of details like the folds in her shirt. The coloration is also very nice, and she comes with some cool accessories. The one thing I’m not totally sold on is the face: she looks a bit younger and round-faced here (kind of the opposite of Asuka Kazama). However, it seems like these are rather preliminary shots of her so I’ll need a more detailed look before I actually come to a conclusion about this space-traveling cutie.

Usually they are not the first company to take on a license, but this year it seems like they snatched up a few you’d expect Good Smile & co to get their paws on first: well, in a way GSC did “beat” them to Maou since <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/winter-wonder-festival-2013-nendoroid-mania" target="_blank">the Nendoroid</a> was shown off first, but Koto definitely has the first figure of her!</p> <p>Maou is a bit too busty for my taste, but the sculpt is really lovely. Her hair has so many individual strands sculpted and I adore her dress! Plus who doesn’t like some good demon horns. I wonder if she’ll be painted soon or if they are working on any other members of the cast!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://ameblo.jp/kotobukiyaf/entry-11499779699.html" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://ameblo.jp']);" target="_blank">Kotobukiya's Blog</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/KotoMaouSculptHeader.jpg "Kotobukiya Shows Off Their Unpainted Maou")
