Due to the insanely slow flow of figures coming in, will probably start talking about animes soon if this keeps up, but for today i’ve decided to start reviewing some of my older figures, and since my last post was on Palm Scenery’s Disgaea ver 2 set, i figure that this would be a nice follow on.

Introducing Palm Scenery’s Rozen Maiden Traumend set.


This set contains less characters but they look so much nice with the back drops behind their individual casings. Quality over quantity.

The first sister Suigintou (水銀燈/すいぎんとう)

The second sister Kanaria (金糸雀/かなりあ)

The third sister Suiseiseki (翠星石/すいせいせき)

The fourth sister Souseiseki (蒼星石/そうせいせき)

The fifth sister Shinku (真紅/しんく)

The sixth sister Hinaichigo (雛苺/ひないちご)

The fake seventh sister Barasuishou (薔薇水晶)

And the gay secret character of the set Detective Kunkun (くんくん探偵/くんくんたんてい)

Verdict: Overall a great set really cute and easy on the storage space. Definitely a get if your a big Rozen Maiden fan. My only complain is that the set would have been so much better if the secret character could have been Kirakishou, which is basically Barasuishou only with a very light peach color dress and hair.

Have a very 萌萌 day people.
