Shuraki - Meifeng Liu

-Finally, I was woken up early yesterday by the parcel delivery guys, who to my suprise...delivered my much anticipated package on a Saturday morning :D!! They knocked on my door loudly, and I had about 3 seconds to respond when I woke up. I rushed down stairs with my keys in my pyjamas looking really sleepy... and I caught the parcel delivery man leaving behind a card as he was about to walk off *o*; Anyways... Lucky I reacted fast enough, or else I woulda had to drive down to the indicated post office to pick up the package myself -_-; That is...if I'd even get the card, because its been quite windy lately :P

-Anyways... I fell asleep after securing my package :D Then when I woke up...I was all prepared to finally open the Meifeng Liu figure I've been wanting for so long *o*;

-I knew it wouldn't be an easy task, because I'm usually quite discreet about keeping the packaging undamaged...But damn, the difficulty in unpacking this exceeded my expectations greatly....... Firstly of all, the celo tapes were expected, so that was no hassle, just took some time. But then....came the excruciating process of unpacking the actual figure... Meifeng Liu was secured in place by the plastic cover, on her were about 4-5 pieces of plastic wrap that were fitted into her clothing, suggesting that those parts are the parts you can take apart(because she comes with exchangable outfit). I was horrified that I would break her...because she had very delicate long hair pieces, ribbons, and some of the plastic had to be stretched before I could take her apart... I highly doubt I will be changing her costume any time soon...due to that very uneasy experience taking her apart *o*;

-After about 30minutes spent unwrapping the plastic stuff tugged in her costume, it is finally up for display :D!!!

-Ok... Enough blabbering, heres some photos I took of Meifeng Liu today :)




-Oh yes, Meifeng Liu came with an artbook and a drama CD with a character song in it :D This figurine is part of a series called "Shuraki", which I think features 7 characters each designed and illustrated by a different artist. I think only 5 of them are available as figurines tho. Im not entirely sure about the series, I just know Meifeng Liu looks awesome :)
