Nendoroid Katou Marika

Ahoy! Today we look at the Nendoroid form of the captain of the Bentenmaru, Kato Marika from the series Bodacious Space Pirates (モーレツ 宇宙海賊, Mōretsu Pairētsu). I’ve been wanting to review her for a while now, and finally got around to it!

Here she is in her box, looking very space-like.

Here’s all her accessories. She comes with:

-Three Faces
-Six extra arms
-A sheathed sword, along with separate sword and sheath.
-Beam Gun
-Two capes

Here she is right out of the box! Looks just like she does in the series, just in nendoroid form.

Her stand is magnetic, meaning there’s no need to have to fiddle around trying to get a peg into her back. The magnet is very strong, and is able to support the whole figure. I notice some of the newer nendoroids have this feature, and I find it to be much better than having the standard peg. Might limit posing ability though.

The magnet attaches to her hair.

Up close look at her uniform, which is really nicely done. You can see there a hole in the side, which is where you can attach her sword.

As mentioned above, she comes with a separate sword & sheath, along with a fully sheathed sword that she can keep at her side.

Here you can see she has her cape and sword equipped.

Time for some piracy!

Her hat is fully removable, which actually looks really nice.

You can have her hold her sword, which looks pretty cool!

Her other cape she comes with allows you to do this pose, with her holding her cape out like so.

This is a really nice nendoroid. I love all the detail the put into her, she looks even better in nendoroid from than she looked in the series! Definitely a must have if you are a fan of Space Pirates.

Thanks for looking!
