UlasanAnime.com – The author, not being a seasoned photographer, found themselves posing the Suigintou figure under a cool October sky without the ideal equipment or the perfect angle. The brisk weather encouraged a swift photo session, partly due to a desire for privacy. The journey towards embracing such public displays of hobby, the author muses, is a lifelong endeavor.
Limited by their circumstances, the author admits to having few affordable hobbies. Between PC gaming, MMORPGs, and the occasional anime convention, their budget is largely consumed. While acquiring a few DVDs on sale or visiting a Book-Off might be feasible, purchasing a figure is a significant financial commitment.
This scarcity of resources makes the author question the wisdom of indulging in expensive hobbies, perhaps adopting a more extravagant approach like that of a friend named TJ to maximize their investment.

A significant motivation for taking the photograph and writing this piece was a personal plea for information. The author had not encountered any figure reviews for Yujin’s SR series Suigintou. Assembling the figure involved attaching delicate ribbons, a process that required some trial and error. Without a clear reference picture, the author felt uncertain about the figure’s intended final appearance.
The assembly process was not straightforward, and the author later realized a mistake had been made in putting the figure together. Although the error has since been corrected, the author is reluctant to expose the figure to sunlight again for another photo session.
For any dedicated Suigintou fans who might be more knowledgeable than the author, they might have already noticed the oversight. The author hopes to assist others who have purchased or are planning to purchase this figure, by providing guidance on the assembly process.
The figure’s box is described as fairly standard, containing five ribbons and a feather, each in its own compartment. The smallest ribbon is meant to be worn as a choker or tie around the figure’s neck. Two other ribbons are designed to be attached to the sleeves, one on each side, just below the shoulder padding. The final two ribbons are for the figure’s gothloli headgear, one on each side.
The four larger ribbons appear similar but have distinct attachments that correspond to specific parts of the figure, which the author found to be a minor annoyance. This detail is almost as irksome as attaching the figure’s wings, especially without needing to remove her head.
The author humorously exclaims, “Off with her head!” in reference to the challenging assembly process.
