The figure itself is really high quality for the price (a bit small since it's not a scale). I've been tired of pop up parade's hexagonal, semi-translucent bases that look very cheap and don't really fit with the figure for a while now, and I thought I wouldn't like this one that much. That said, the base for this figure was an almost clear white (I assumed it would be blue since Rem) and it actually doesn't look too bad. Still though, come on, I'm buying plastic anime figures, not collectible McDonald's toys. I want them to look good on display.
