PSE 2.0 Solid Collection

Reviewed by Pistol Kitten

Manufacturer: Range Murata Release Date: 2005 Review Rating: Recommended

Sometimes art has such beautiful characters that the figure sets based on that art should be just as beautiful, or fans will be disappointed. The PSE characters are designs of Range Murata, a Japanese artist with a flair for creating detailed characters. You'll see his work in various Japanese art publications as well as books of collected works. And now Murata is taking America's notice. These figures come from Murata's art pieces rather than from an anime or manga series

This set is a great addition to any collection or looks marvelous by itself. Putting the figures together isn't complicated because most of the figures have only a few pieces. I haven't had a problem with any of the pieces falling off, either, which is always a plus. The figures are 4 to 5 inches tall (10 to 11.5 cm).

In the anime figure world, this is a great set to have. The colors and design capture the characters very well, and the simplicity of their construction makes them well-designed.
