Hello everyone,
I took some pictures of my first shinki Benio and thought I'd share with you guys.


her samurai armor seems to like to fall off easily, so I keep her in her lightarmor.
Very impressed with this figure. Will definitely get more soon.

..if you're impressed with Benio, SURELY you'll be thrilled with any others you get! \o/

Not saying your tastes are bad. Benio just... is one of those things that sounds so good in concept and sorta falls flat in implementation. =\ Well, you're enjoying her, and that's what counts! Glad to have you on board. :3

lol, I've always been a fan of samurai or ninja themed toys :] (Must have Fubuki...)
Now..only if there was a mecha samurai themed shinki..:O

Thanks!

You've surely seen this, right?

lol yes I have...though it is appealing, I dont think I could ever spend 76 dollars(CAD) before shipping for just one figure..

Just some more pics i took few mins ago.




Fight against the great....Sac..boy..?

I rather like Benio myself. I just wish her hair wasnt fixed. And that she had changeable faces. And that her swords actually fit into the sheathes.

benio as a first? haha- personally id deem it a bad choice. always heard that it is unstable (as stated again). Moreover, her face is just--rather peculiar. (only plus that comes to mind is the fact her armor in BR is rather good.)

glad yer doin good with her tho.

I agree with ya 100%. though, having sheathed weapons attached to benio make it look like she has more swords..lol. also thinking of coloring her armor black.

I find myself wanting more shinkis now(uh oh).. Might get valona and strarf bis to go with her.
what do you guys think?

I think that if you like Benio you should go for her sister, Xiphos. The knight armor holds together a bit better and her weapons are great. (Sword goes in sheath! *gasp!*) Barring that, I firmly believe that every Shinki collector should own Arnval and/or Strarf in some fashion, preferably both; they compliment each other well and are all around great sets.
