Max Factory's 1/8th scale KanColle Kongo Half-damage ver. figure is a good introduction to a couple concepts in the fleet girl phenomenon. First, a given class of ship tends to have a given style of clothes. For example, battleships like Kongo, Yamato or Fuso wear traditional Japanese outfits.
Second, when the ships are damaged, they lose clothes.
Kongo: Half-Damage ver.
"The precious equipment I got from the admiral... it's ruined!"
as GSC explains....
From the popular social game 'Kantai Collection -KanColle-' comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Super Dreadnought Battleship, Kongo! She has been sculpted in her damaged version that is reached after falling below half heath.
The damaged appearance shows off her captivating body beneath the 'precious equipment' she received from the admiral - and the damaged look of her outfit itself has also been very intricately sculpted for fans to enjoy!
