The official website describes the figure:
Her bright outfit, dynamic posing, and the flow of her hair make this a gem with a lovely finish. Her distinct eyes have also been faithfully recreated, capturing the charm of this girl who is so much more than just cute! Be sure to add B-Komachi’s center to your collection!
