Let me start by saying, Haqua here is an absolute cutie! The moment I unboxed her, I was greeted with that signature Nendoroid charm—those big, expressive eyes and that tiny, chibi-fied body. She comes packed with three different faces: a smug grin, a flustered blush, and a determined battle-ready expression. My personal favorite? The flustered one—it’s just too adorable not to display!

Assembly was mostly a breeze, though I did have a mini heart attack when her left arm popped off while I was posing her. It snapped back in easily enough, but it’s something to watch out for if you’re fidgety like me. Her accessories are where she really shines—the scythe has this nice metallic sheen, and the soul jar is so tiny and detailed! Though fair warning: that skull accessory? It’s stubborn. I nearly gave up trying to swap it out for fear of snapping her hairpiece.

Display-wise, she’s a standout. The darker color palette makes her pop on the shelf, but the stand gave me trouble—the peg didn’t quite fit into her back hole (cue immature giggles). Thankfully, her long hair and robe act like a built-in kickstand, so she balances surprisingly well without it.

Now, the elephant in the room: mine reeked of cigarettes when it arrived. Like, ‘open-the-window-and-let-her-air-out-for-days’ bad. Even now, months later, the smaller pieces still carry a whiff of ashtray. A real bummer for an otherwise flawless figure.

Despite the quirks—wonky stand peg, smoky smell—Haqua’s personality and versatility make her a must-have for ‘The World God Only Knows’ fans. Just maybe buy from a seller who doesn’t chain-smoke over their inventory.
