The figure stands about nine inches tall (1/6 scale) and is comprised of roughly twenty-four seperate pieces which have already been put together, not including the two pieces that make up her stand. The most impressive thing about the figure is the amount of detail that's been crafted into it. Not only does she boast a perfect rendition of her clothes in the anime, but individual strands are flying from her hair and there are appropriately placed wrinkles on her outfit. She has one little cat tooth showing in her smile. Even the ties on her boots set out. Closer inspection will also reveal that her Mew Mark has been stamped on her right thigh, right where it's supposed to be.

As for painting, the job on my figure is a little sloppy, but still high quality as far as figures go. The bell on her wrist was left red like her glove and painting near edges run off a bit sometimes, especially on her red trim and her weapon. It is a nice touch, however, to have used a shiny red paint for the trim, gloves, boots, and bell, and a nice metallic gold on her bell, pendant, and weapon. Some color, as in the ears (boots, bow, and hair also), tends to taper off to a lighter color (dark pink on the inside to a light pink at the edges) like it's been spray painted to add to the 3D effect of the figure. The eyes are also highly detailed with highlights similar to what you'd see on TV. The paint colors are very close to the anime as well.

The figure comes with a card and a nice box with a note from Mia Ikumi. The box is a nice deal with a picture of a matching manga-style drawing by Mia Ikumi and the note from her on the inside of a door that velcros shut. There's a nice window to see the figure when the front is open, so it makes for a nice display even if you wish to leave her in the box - which you might. The original retail price of this figure was 5980 yen (approx $60USD). If you ask me if she's worth that much, judging similar figures I would have to say "yes", however, auctions often start even higher than that, especially on eBAY, since many Mew Mew items are no longer being produced.

The final verdict? 4.5 out of 5. She'd probably deserve a perfect score if only her upper arms were made from the same color and type of plastic as the rest of her.
