Fantastic Figurine I was unfortunate to miss out on the previous Horo/Holo figures, however after reading reviews for all of them, and subsequently receiving this one, it looks like I was lucky enough to end up with the best version available.
The gorgeous sculpting and paint job really perfectly immortalizes Horo's happy/devious demeanor quite nicely. While I personally prefer the slightly different look of Horo from the anime, one truly could not ask for a much better rendition of the light novel style Horo.
If I had to list one detraction, it would be the seam in Horo's hair between her ears and bangs (which I can only assume was necessary for production reasons), however outside of that, there are no real negatives that can be thrown at the piece.
If you can find this in stock anywhere, I would highly recommend it for both Horo and figurine fans alike.

One of the quality Figurines out there you can collect. This Horo figurine has been done once by the Kotobukiya company, and follows the Novel's Horo design template. The previous release were praised to have the best overall feel, and this particular version is the same as well. If there's still stock for this version left, you should buy it immediately. The painting is pretty solid, and there are no apparent oddities. 4.5/5

Best Holo Figurine! Excellent quality! The paint is nicely done! Holo looks beautiful as ever! Out of the 3 figurine of her out there, I'd recommend this over any of them!
