As a long-time Gundam and Miku fan, I was initially excited by this collab figure at a very accessible price. That quickly changed when I received it. The mold they used to mass-produce this figure must have been of terrible quality, because the hair has extremely noticeable imperfections in the strands. It's super jagged and lumpy. Her legs have a very noticeable, awkward seam, and the pigtails fit terribly.

I own several other Miku figures of the same price point and size, and none of them have this many obvious imperfections. I've seen bootlegs do a better job. Very disappointing coming from Banpresto at that.

As they always say, there might be some differences between the promoted figure vs what you actually end up getting, and that's why I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5. The promotional pictures would show that part of her skirt had more of a frosted finish that match nicely with her sleeves, while the finished product had more of a transparent glossy look, taking away some of the elegance of the figure in my opinion. That being said, it's a great affordable figure otherwise and one I would recommend getting if it's in stock!

The figure arrived in perfect condition and it has become my favorite Miku figure from the $20 range. It's no wonder why even the re-run went out of stock so quickly. I wish I would have grabbed a second one when I could for my friend! I love that this figure has such a delicate look to it reflecting the child-like awe and wonder one feels during the winter season.

Well, she finally arrived! Those of you that had preordered her know how long it took to ship, so congrats to all of you who finally got her.

Packaging:

The package this figure was shipped in had no dents nor noticeable damage, but unfortunately, the product package she was in was dented quite noticeably. It's not a big deal to me as I do not collect the boxes figures come in but I know this is a big deal for some of you.

What I love:

Her eyes are bright and beautifully detailed! To me, the eyes of a figure are some of the most important details so I was quite happy. The second lovely surprise was her hair as it goes from her usual color to a tran...Read moreClose
