FREEing has been rolling out the bunnygirl figures, but we haven’t looked at one in a while. Further, today is Halloween, a day celebrated by the wearing of costumes and distribution of sweets, so we’ll observe the occasion by taking a look at Eleonora Viltaria, whose fetching and immodest bunnysuit provides for no insignificant amount of eye candy.
Eleonora comes from the light novel and anime series Madan no Ou to Vanadis, rendered in English as Lord Marksman and Vanadis. I watched the first episode or so and I can’t say I was particularly captivated. That said, I didn’t detest it either so perhaps it’s something I might give another look down the line. The character designs at least are quite compelling, which is really all the motivation I need to investigate a show, even if the story is nothing special.
Like all of FREEing’s bunnygirl figures, Eleonora is sculpted in 1/4 scale and even though she’s kneeling, her total height is an impressive 30 centimeters counting the bunny ears. No base is included or necessary to display her.
The series presents Eleonora as a martially-inclined princess. She’s a proficient warrior, an adept wizard, and a beloved leader. The figure does a pretty good job of capturing her cool confidence, which is conveyed through her direct gaze and warm smile.
Her pose has her on her knees with her back arched and arms raised up, thrusting her breasts out for inspection. It’s an ostentatiously sexy pose, which is not actually all that common a theme amongst FREEing’s bunnygirl lineup.
Eleonora’s leotard is colored an attractive blue that provides a pleasing complement to her white hair and red eyes. Interestingly, the top of her leotard comes off to reveal her breasts. I’m not too familiar with the source material but I don’t recall that the anime featured very many scenes with exposed tits. We don’t typically get this sort of fanservice with FREEing’s bunnygirls, even on characters that come from fanservice-heavy shows (I kind of doubt that we’ll see this feature on their upcoming To Love-Ru figures, even though that series is amongst the most suggestive in terms of fanservice), but this feature is a happy inclusion indeed. Her areolae are a bit faint and her nipples could be more detailed, but aside from those nitpicks I won’t complain.
Also unusual is that Eleonora’s leotard features a thong back, which looks very nice indeed. Most of her bunnygirl compatriots instead sport full seats in their suits, and I wish that more figures would take Eleonora’s lead. Eleonora’s backside is marvelously sculpted, and FREEing must know this since the majority of this figure’s preorder figures were shot from the rear.
When one buys a 1/4 scale FREEing figure, one can know what they’re getting if they’ve ever seen one in person. The details of the sculpt are good but not outstanding, and one could be forgiven for thinking that this larger size would provide for more opportunity to deliver a more intricate sculpt. Similarly, the paintwork is attractive but not exemplary; her outfit is colored with a pleasing glossy finish and her skin is matte, but there’s not a lot of shading there. Her tights are made of real material which looks very nice; as usual, they are attached to the figure, and the owner does not need to dress up the figure him or herself.
FREEing’s Eleonora is a very lovely figure, perhaps my favorite amongst all their bunnygirl figures. Any figure combining an attractive character design with a sexy sculpt is a winner in my estimation, and the huge size of this figure makes a great figure even better. The exposable breasts and lovely thong are just the cherries on top of the confection. The bunnygirls are expensive but I’m very happy with this acquisition nonetheless.
