Fujibayashi Kyou – Gym Storeroom version – Kotobukiya

Fujibayashi Kyou – Gym Storeroom version – Kotobukiya

This is the first post of 2020, as I don't have any new figures at the moment I will show you pictures from my latest photoshoot, the figure is the heroine of Clannad, Fujibayashi Kyou in gym storeroom version from Kotobukiya.

Kotobukiya adapted the figure of their famous storage room scene in the anime Clannad. It's a figure from 2010. I just received it recently from my friend at miettechan . We sometimes send each other figures even though we live 16,000 kilometers apart. And I got Fujibayashi Kyou from Kotobukiya, I liked the figure and so I was happy.

I still remember Clannad as a series that made me cry a lot, some events were quite melodramatic and heartbreaking to my heart, but some things were also quite happy memories for me, I can't say it was a bad experience watching Clannad and Clannad After Story. One day I would probably like to watch it again.

The figure is 1/6 scale, although the pose is rather compact, the figure still looks big after all, it is 12 cm tall. Another feature of the figure is a realistically sculpted vault box, I put it somewhere, but I couldn't find it on the day of shooting. As usual for Kotobukiya's 4-Leaves label, the figure also has a cushioned base.

Kyou Fujibashi is an athletic woman. In Vietnam, her life is a tragic love affair, but everything will turn out well later.
Kyou is a strong, even rather bold, character, but she's a tsundere type who acts shy when romantic things are involved.
She is Ryou's older sister, Kyou is very protective of the younger sister and wishes for her to find happiness in life.

My favorite girl from Clannad is actually Kotomi Ichinose, because she's a sweet soul with a cute appearance.

The figure's outfit is nicely sculpted with the wrinkles and creases. The bloomers seem tight and stretchy, it's meant to look a little naughty. Her thigh-high boots are also nice and realistic. I also really like her shoes. The shading is well done, even though it's a little rough in some places, I really like the dynamic look it creates.

The outfit is nice, high school fan service, the combination of short-sleeved shirt, red bloomers and thigh-high boots does not disappoint. I remember a volleyball tournament at our school, what a joy for the young people haha.

Her body sculpting is superb, everything looks smooth and nice. The left thigh has a slight seam, they could have made it smoother like the rest of the figure. I also think she has nice arms and perfect hands. There could be some finer details here and there, but it's completely fine and I like the presentation of the figure as a whole.

The character design follows the beautiful Kyoto animation style, her big purple eyes are very pretty and lively.
The old-fashioned blush effects also add a little extra to the pretty face. The purple hair looks smooth and pretty, not super thin like on today's figures, but clean and soft, the hair ornament on the right side is also present.

His expression perfectly captures Kyou's nervousness and restlessness in Clannad's hilarious storage room scene.

Kyou's pose is well articulated, the dog pose with the arched back emphasizes her backside which is nice.

Last words

This was Fujibayashi Kyou – Gym Storeroom version, I hope you liked the images and the idea behind them.

Overall, this is a well-designed figure. The concept with the compact dog pose is both sweet and sexy, as Kyou has a nice butt. The PE uniform is very stylish and pretty. The expression of the figures is also quite good. For a figure from ten years ago, this is great and a nice throwback to Clannad, which honestly didn't get many nice figures.

There should be more figures based on Kiyoto Animation characters, why isn't there a Violet Evergarden?
