The punishment I used on the criminals in the Ministry of Justice was somehow lacking. I heard that Official Ren has a knack for corporal punishment. Hence, I want to seek her advice.
Han Ye week continues with this adorable fig! Today's crown prince figurine was inspired by a very cute scene from Episode 8 of The Legend of Anle.
Han Ye wears this green and white robe and holds a mask in this scene below. He and Anle are disguised as commoners, hence the dressed down version of them both:
You'll notice that the mask Han Ye has here is a bunny mask. He's also wearing a pale grey-green over robe.
The fig, however, is holding a fox mask, and is missing the grey-green over robe, wearing only the darker green under robe. His hair is also a much fluffier, messier version that is sporting thick bangs.
This look (minus the fox mask) comes from this subsequent series of scenes a few minutes later in Episode 8, where Han Ye and Anle have messed up their hair and dirtied up their faces and robes to take their commoner disguise one step further to flood victim disguise:
Since him and Anle are in disguise among the flood victims, they are definitely not playing around with beautiful masks.
I am not sure if the fig maker took some creative license (which I'm all for), or if I'm missing a scene. Episode 8 is the only one where he wears this outfit, and he doesn't even wear it for the entire episode, so I can't think of any other scene it could be. That being said, I have only watched this show once, unlike Word of Honor, which I have watched an {undisclosed} number of times.
Regardless, this fig is looking super cute in his little protective box!
He's even cuter out of the box! I really like the Han Ye in disguise look (as well as all his other looks, let's be honest), so I'm really happy to have him.
I like how the fig maker echoed the fox mask in his eyes, as well as picked up the color in his robes in his eyes. It's just a beautiful figure all the way around.
As you might be able to tell by the fact that he's on a stand, this fig absolutely would not stand on his own. He toppled right over backwards no matter what. These days, I don't even bother with fig stickers or museum putty or anything else - if they're even slightly weighted to one side or the other I glue them right down.
He has his hand behind his back here in the classic Wen Kexing elegant young master pose.
This fig doesn't have quite the flowing locks of other figs, but it gets the job done!
You can see he has no guan in his hair, or any ornament at all. This is definitely our prince in disguise, although whether it's his commoner disguise or his flood victim disguise, I don't know.
I really do like the big chunky bangs, it frames his fig face very beautifully.
The mask is quite lovely too - it has the some beautiful leaf and flower motifs.
The costume is spot on for his disguise though - even the loosely tied knot on his left side of his belt.
Here's a close up of the mask. Pretty, isn't it?
You can't really see it from this bottoms-up angle, but he's got the wonderful detail of pants on under his robes.
I always particularly love this little detail!
His unadorned hair here - it's so rare we see this.
I watched the video pretty closely, but I couldn't tell if there was a black fabric band around his ponytail or if it was just his hair wrapped around it. I'm guessing by the look of this it was indeed a fabric band.
Well, we're going to continue our Han Ye week into the weekend! Come back tomorrow to see the next fig celebrating our elegant crown prince.
