Newly arrived Kuroshitsuji SEGA EX Sebastian and Ciel.
Saw these figures (Sebastian Michaelis and Ciel Phantomhive) on sale at used goods store Mandarake. They are game prizes from SEGA, called EX Figures. I’m not too sure about the details but for the price of 2,000 yen a set, I thought they’re quite a bargain. Very beautiful package boxes!
Sebastian stands at about 20cm tall and Ciel at around 14 cm tall. They’re pretty well-made and detailed for the price as you can see from the images that’ll follow.
The sculpt and painting details on Sebastian are good and well-defined, for example, his face, chains and buttons. Definitely something you can only find in authentic figures. Even the little space between his glove and his white cuff where his wrist is was painted a flesh colour. That’s some awesome attention to detail.
There are some scratches-like imprints as you can see from the left photo on the surface of my Sebastian’s pants but they are not obvious unless you scrutinise him. I guess it sometimes can’t be avoided since this is a mass-produced product.
The teapot and cup and saucer set can’t be removed but it is not a big issue since Sebby’s pose would look strange without them.
As for Ciel, he looks equally good and the paint work just as beautiful. No complaints at all. His staff is removable but I would leave it in his hand anyway. since he would also look strange in this pose without it.
They also painted Ciel’s sapphire blue ring on his left finger nicely… Very impressed :)
Oo~ look at those cute-looking shoes on Ciel. And Sebby is meticulous as ever. Look at them shine!
In conclusion, I have to say I’m really happy with this purchase overall, so if you come across it at a reasonable price, grab it! ^^
Ah~ HLJ is taking preorders for the next installment of Grell and Sebastian (Tutor version) figures ^^ A bit more expensive at 1,500 Yen each but now that we know the quality is pretty good, might be safer to secure a copy if you like this series. Looking forward to seeing them! Available in February 2010.

@Felser: oo~ Angel Sanctuary *_* impressive! Curious how she got those wings to spread out. Must be be quite heavy…
@Sigma: Glad to help! XD Well, maybe the demand for these figures are not as high, so the buy-back prices are cheaper. Anyway I read that Japanese people take care of their goods very well in general, so even when they sell them to used goods stores, these items are still like new XD And the ones you bought were not even opened! Ah~ I remember Suefumi coz of Sakurai Takahiro. He was the reason I watched that OVA keke.
REALLY??? No you haven’t wrote about it… I didn’t know those Hakuoki chibis are not for preordering! *_* Oh my, that sucks! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for them in case they pop up somewhere. Will keep you in the loop!
Hehehe~ yeah, taking close-ups need good macro lens, otherwise all become an “artistic” blur XDD What I did when I use the old camera was to set it to save the photo in higher quality, shoot the figure in normal range, not close up. Then zoom in using Photoshop and crop to the small pic. It works sometimes. Try it?
Happy thanksgiving too! ^^
lol wah i loved suefumi’s voice too!*_*
he was the only actually character i really liked because i never watched the series before watching the ova. Sense the story took place back in ancient japan i just had to see it. I wasn’t very fond of the lead heroin but the mini story was very cute. I heard the ending from the game with suefumi wasn’t all that good.;-;
lol i think the only place we might find this i mandarake site ne? I doubt any fans would give them up so easily! XD
It’s okay though i’m really interested in kazuki’s newest artbook though. *____*(at least i think it is artbook i have to find the link again;) btw kazuki is man right?
hmm i’ll keep that in mind for when i get my figures in thanks~ ^w^
I hope to receive a really good camera for x-mas.
oh! did you ever get your ipod stereo?
I tried watching the first episode of the series (1st season?)… I couldn’t go on after the 1st 10 minutes. I might have fast forwarded that episode to the end? Can’t remember. The heroine was too whiny!!! No amount of bishis could keep me then. Anyway in the OVA, I thought I give it a shot again for Suefumi and mentally prepared myself for whiny heroine but phew~ she has more or less matured so not as annoying now XP
Yay Mandarake! XD Hmm… the artbook with white hair bishi on cover? XD I’m putting that on wishlist too… Yeah I think he is a man… I can’t remember if it was mentioned in the artbook (was there a photo? Have to dig it out to see). Hmm okie no photo but in the interview published, I think he was asked about girls in the art club he joined in school… well, I think if he was female, this probably wouldn’t have been a question he’ll get ^^;;; And he said something like, although there were 50+ girl members but usually only 5~6 of them show up for club activities at any one time. I can’t read much, so kinda half-baked haha.
Yeah hope you get your wish! I’ve recently checked the price of that stereo… no sale yet :(

lol! yea i can never really like that heroine she annoyed me alot too. I stay around to watch green haired bishi it was torture but worth it, in one of the epis he has his hair down so pertty. XD
The heroin in the cordo de oro was likable though. I wanted to see her end up with a few of the main characters but the series wouldn’t allow it.
you mean this artbook?
