All Hail Atelier Miku?!

Permalink

Q: Doesn't this Hatsune Miku look suspiciously like Ryza from the Atelier series?
A: Yes

Q: Isn't that a bad thing?
A: Nope!

Q: Why isn't that a bad thing?!
A: Because combining the cuteness of Racing Miku with the thicc goodness of Reisalin "Ryza" Stout gives you a novel and beautiful result! This figure does a good job or representing the design of this particular Racing Miku, and while not the nicest version it is much more affordable than the others. The delivered figure has no noticeable flaws and looks like the sales pictures. Definitely recommended for anyone considering it.

Q: Are you by any chance a bit... odd?

Seeing eye to eye

Permalink

I have only one major complaint about this Momioka figure. If you view her from much above or below eye level it looks noticeably less good. Meaning you have to have it set pretty much at eye level to fully enjoy it. Luckily all my To Love-ru figures are displayed near eye level so it works for me. Still, buyer beware especially if you plan to display her low down since the way she leans forward will obscure her face. Mine also has a few minor production flaws, but those are only obvious while way closer than you should ever look at anything really. At $150 I would be a bit disappointed in this figure, but with a decent discount she is definitely worth considering.

In Living Color!

Permalink

How was I supposed to resist pajama Miku? HOW?! Of course buying a figure based off just a gray cg model can be risky, but sometimes risks pay off! The colors seem right and nothing looks off about the finished product, so I am quite satisfied. She actually looks fairly substantial next to most of my non-scale figures and is on the heavy side (maybe help keep the cat from knocking it off the shelf?). A very cute Miku that does justice to the BEST Nakano sister, you heard me you Nino fans!

Just Damn!

Permalink

Honestly, at first I just considered this Lila figure to be an add-on to the matching Ryza back when I bought them. How could I have been so naive?! Getting a figure this nice for under $20 is a great find even if you don't buy the Ryza figure! The half barrel even allows you to have her set-up against the wall of a display case without taking up a lot of space. Her design seems right and no obvious quality issues, so I consider her a real steal!

A Millenial's Dream (No that's not meant as an insult)

Permalink

Full disclosure, at the time of purchase I knew nothing about Arknights apart from it existing and bought Surtr purely based on her design. The sample pictures were so beautiful I bought a high end figure of a character I'd never heard of and I don't regret it for a second! My dubious camera work aside, the one I received is every bit as nice as the one from the pictures and I couldn't find a single flaw on it. Instantly one of my favorites and a great figure by any standard.

Nice for the price

Permalink

Quite pleased with this sexy little number. While 1/10th scale sounds small she is about the size of an average non-scale figure so she isn't particularly small. Love the design with the slit dress and ethereal wrap hanging over her arms. Couldn't find any quality issues on mine and have no complaints, especially when she only cost about $40. Really quite a nice figure and I will add this brand to the ones I trust.

Good News Everyone!

Permalink

Wasn't too sure about buying figures from a new product line (Gift+ Series), but it worked out nicely. I found no issues with the quality and for the price its darn nice. The figure looks every bit as elegant in person as it does in the example sales photos. Simple assembly since she comes fully assembled, you just put her on her base. So I definitely recommend this figure and I can also recommend Gift+ Series in general.

Nice thats its not split

Permalink

I like that the curtain isn't pre-split, which means if you want to use it as a wall decoration you can leave it intact. Honestly I think Enterprise looks a lot better when she doesn't have a big gap through her. My only issue is how transparent the curtains become with any light behind them, but it looks great as long as its not backlit.

Nice, but be careful how its displayed.

Permalink

Unexpectedly the worst use for this curtain is as a curtain! The Agir image looks great so I have no issue there, but there is a different issue. If you hang it anywhere with light behind it, like a doorway or window, the curtain becomes quite see-through. However, as long as you hang it somewhere with no backlighting, like against a wall, it looks a lot like a woven tapestry. Luckily this works out with my plan to use it in front of bookshelves to keep dust out of them. So its a great sexy Agir decoration, but be careful about where you plan to hang it.

Helloooooo Nurse!

Permalink

Its Itsuki in an old style nurse outfit, what more do you want?! She is certainly the quintuplet with the most appropriate personality for this design and its suits her to a tee. Honestly I like this whole line and for the price that's doable. She's got good quality and a surprising amount of detail, so if you like the pictures you will be happy with the figure.

Gap Moe!

Permalink

Rukia is normally a strong and severe character, which is what makes this work! After all the only thing fierce about most people just after waking up is their breath, so it makes sense for her to look less harsh. For a cheap figure the quality is good and she is on the large side for a sitting figure. Best placed next to a normal Rukia figure to max out the gap moe!

The shirt was too much for me...

Permalink

We've all seen myriad cute waking up girls by now, so you are probably thinking why is this one any different. ITS ALL IN HER SHIRT!!! And no I don't mean that in a dirty way, really some people... Her shirt being themed to Subaru's outfit is so cute it gives her that special something so many others lack. No issues with quality, the price was right, and she came with a little pillow accessory that is just laying on her with no attachments in case you don't want to use it. Definitely recommended.

Tennis Anyone?

Permalink

Something about Nino's outfit just screams tennis to me and I'm lovin' it (please don't sue me McDonald's). Despite being solidly team Miku the only figure of this line I bough was Nino, oh the betrayal. The quality is good and she looks like the picture. For the price I am quite satisfied with this figure and will insist she is dressed for tennis until the day I die!

Ah Summer

Permalink

Truly she was a grand order... I can hear you booing and I don't care! Anyway, for such a cheap figure she is dang big and all around good looking. If you want a leggy swimsuit girl at a good price you've found her. My only complaint, and the reason I took a star off, is that the right leg on mine isn't quite fully in which leaves a fairly visible joint from some angles. Still glad I bought it.

Thighs FTW!

Permalink

Honestly this Rem figure is all around drop dead gorgeous with enough sexiness to get it banned in most countries (not a confirmed fact). It holds its own against top tier thigh figures (like in the picture), but also has ample assets apart from that for anyone who likes rears or chests. Her dress oozes elegance while her pose adds playfulness. The quality is outstanding and left me no room for complaints except one, and that is the fact that there is no one best viewing angle to set her up in. What angle you want her at will vary depending on what you focus on, but that is a problem I can work with.

For all your fan service/card protection needs

Permalink

They are card sleeves with New Jersey in her bunny girl outfit on the back... Really it sells itself and I'm not sure what I can add. They are what they claim to be, and that is all you can really ask for.

I have never FELT like this before!

Permalink

You see, because they are made of felt... ok, now that I've got the terrible pun out of the way on to the review! They are little bean shaped cuties that can be tucked in anywhere that needs a bit of Genshin goodness. The sales pictures are quite accurate, though not surprisingly they do need a bit of de-squishing to get looking their best. As a huge fan of Yoimiya, Raiden Shogun (Ei), and the ever divisive Paimon I couldn't resist and I regret nothing!

Everyone needs at least 1 mad scientist... right?!

Permalink

If you want an affordable Senku figure I 1 billion percent recommend this. As long as you remember this is a roughly $20 figure you won't be dissapointed. Quality is good and the pose is character appropriate. Nothing truly remarkable, but a good buy none the less.

Bargain Bunny!

Permalink

Of the many bunny girl version of Mai Sakurajima this is by far my favorite under $100. It has a surprising level of quality and really feels like they got the character right. Whether you are looking for an affordable Mai in particular or just in it for the bunny girl outfit this is a good buy.

5 C Goodness!

Permalink

Chibi, chubby, clumsy, cute, carrier! Thats right folks, she's got more C's than you can shake a stick at (unless you have a stick with 5 branches)! The panicky and clumsy Gamby fits the cute style of the Nendoroid perfectly. It comes with the right faces and props for setting up happy/glutton Gamby, panicked/freak out Gamby and nervous/embarrassed Gamby so really what more could you want? Sadly Gambier Bay never got many figures, but this one definitely helps make up for that by giving you options. 100% recommended for any of her fans or any fans of KanColle as a whole.

Her Cape(?) Was Actually in Place!

Permalink

This Beta figure is how the pictures showed her. No complaints about quality and the price was certainly right. What surprised me the most was that she came fully assembled and her cape like things hanging off her back were actually as shown in the pictures! Usually anything long and sticking out like that on cheaper figures ends up bent in some way and they can be hard to fix. So the fact that it came looking totally correct was a pleasant surprise. Beta is not my favorite "The Eminence in Shadow" character, but this is definitely a good version of her. Now to keep hoping this line does the rest of the Seven Shadows some day.

Sexy Blonde Elf... need I say more?

Permalink

Honestly, I'm not even sure someone needs to know about "The Eminence in Shadow" to like this figure. Its a freaking sexy blonde elf in a catsuit, and if that doesn't sell itself what does?! Considering its good quality of production and low price its a natural choice for anyone of culture like myself (you know who you are). Of course its also quite a good figure of Alpha if you are interested in "The Eminence in Shadow" side of things. Definitely recommended!

Got to start with the basics

Permalink

The fact that "My Dress-Up Darling" is about cosplay means we will be seeing A LOT of Kitagawas in various costumes. That is why it is important to get a figure showing the starting point! This is a nicely done figure that captures Marin's carefree energy in her everyday school clothes, which makes it a great starting point for a "My Dress-Up Darling" collection. My only complaint is that I have no idea which direction she is supposed to be facing on her triangular base plate, but I'm honestly not sure it really matters. Anyway for the money this is a great figure and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Cheap and Cheerful

Permalink

These are a neat little thing as long as you keep in mind how cheap they are. You are getting 5 cute little pictures for under $8 and they easily justify that price. A great item if you are just short of free shipping threshold, looking for a little gift for an otaku buddy or just want to build a shrine to Marin (which I definitely DID NOT do).

I want to love it but...

Permalink

Overall it is a lovely figure with excellent quality. It even came with a plug in the hole for her halo to make sure the halo would install properly, which it did without issue. Also, there is a fuzzy base/mat you can choose to use or not since she can sit on any flat surface. The sculpt is beautiful and the production quality is impeccable with one exception. Unfortunately the seam in her right arm is more eye-catching than I expected. With the pose putting her arm front and center it really draws your eye to it once you get close. Admittedly you can see the seam in the example pictures, so they didn't try to hide it, but it keeps me from really loving the end result. Still a ni...Read moreClose

Kyaaaa!

Its like so totally cute! The faces are perfect for Marin, I'm especially fond of the sparkly eyed one, and they capture her energetic personality so well. The props she comes with are awesome too, with the tiny dakimakura (hug pillow) being a real stand out. I normally prefer figures that try to accurately recreate a character, but this Nendoroid manages to represent Marin so well I would recommend it to any fan of "My Dress-Up Darling".

It Floats Like Kirby!

Permalink

It doesn't come with batteries (which is probably for the best when dealing with customs) and the battery it uses is a bit unusual, but it isn't anything super hard to get. As for the toy itself it uses a sensor on the bottom to tell it is its near a surface so it revs up then down causing it to rise and fall like how Kirby floats. A really cute little toy.

For the Figure-Holic

Permalink

Is it a bit pricey? Yes
Did it take forever to finally arrive? Yes
Is it worth it? Yes!

This figure is dang nice and is worth every penny. It looks just like a piece of Yuko art and any fan of xxxHolic would be happy to have it. The detail and quality are excellent and the original design is glorious. While they took their sweet time making a Yuko figure at least they got it right.

Bunnies Bunnies Everywhere!

Permalink

Not sure why there has been a recent surge in affordable bunny girl figures, but I like it! The figure came looking like the pictures and what more could you ask for? The price is certainly right and no issues with quality, its even a bit on the large side. Megumi makes for a very cute bunny and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it.

Not Perfect, but Cheap

Permalink

Certainly there are nicer Yor figures out there, but considering the price this one is pretty good. I find the face actually looks a bit better in person than the pictures because its looks less 2D. Her weapon was rather bent upon arrival, thankfully its very pliable and easy to bend back. It may not be perfect, but its a good affordable option.

We've Got a Leaner

Permalink

The only issue the figure has is it is leaning. After leaving it set up for several months the lean has not increased so its not that big an issue, but still not great. Apart from the lean the figure is very nice and I don't regret purchasing it. She looks sweet and spring like and as long as I keep it away from vertical lines it looks fine. If I was braver I could probably fix the lean, but not worth risking breaking it.

All I Want For Christmas is You!

Given Erika's love of sexy cosplay this figure makes perfect sense. It suits her character in a way few sexy Santa figures do. The quality is good and it honestly looks like the pictures so no complaints. Its a cheap and festive way to get your fan-service for the day...

Hop to it!

Permalink

Bunny jokes aside, this is a very nice figure. The production quality is good and the design isn't just a standard bunny girl. Considering the price (1/10 to 1/20 the fancy bunny girls') I'd say this is a must have for any bunny girl connoisseurs or anyone looking for fan-service alternative outfit Cuckoos figures.

Simply Glorious!

Permalink

This figure is every bit as awesome as the pictures made it out to be. For an alternative costume design figure this is one of the best I've come across. The way it gives off a more modern date night vibe while also still seeming in character fits Albedo perfectly. Throw in how it emphasizes Albedo's natural *cough* charms and it is a true masterpiece if you like this sort of thing. Definitely recommended to any Albedo fans and to anyone who likes well endowed figures in general.

Kind of odd as a stand alone product

Permalink

We all know these are only useful as an accessory to the chopsticks, but since you could use the chopsticks without it I guess I can see why they are separate... maybe? Apart from that I have no issue. They match their chopsticks' design nicely and add the appropriate symbols for each vocaloid. While being less subtle than the chopsticks alone they do a nice job of completing the look. Not necessary for displaying the chopsticks, but a nice touch.

A subtle way to celebrate your hopeless nerdiness

Permalink

I will admit I have not tried actually eating with these chopsticks, nor will I ever. But it you want a dignified Japanese styled decoration that can sneak a vocaloid tribute in that only fellow otakus will notice then these are hard to beat. The design is beautiful on its own and the subtle nod to the vocaloids using music imagery and their respective colors is truly wonderful. Its almost enough to get me to learn how to actually use chopsticks...

Its a real beaut

Permalink

Still not sure what this could realistically be used for, still don't really care either! It is one of the nicest pieces of Miku merchandise I've come across and it is even better in real life than in the pictures. The art style is dignified yet easily recognizable as Miku. Also, there is a sort of sparkly-ness to it that doesn't come across in the pictures and gives it almost a feeling of life. Pretty sure my description isn't doing it justice so I will leave it at this, it is d@#! nice.

Best Bunny Bargain!

Permalink

To start off the design on this Miku is awesome. A slightly futuristic kind of cool bunny girl is a nice change. The figure is true to the concept art with the only big addition being a piece of clear plastic supporting her lifted foot. The quality is pretty good with no obvious defects, and to my amazement it even has real net stockings! Considering its also on the large side at almost a foot tall, the price of a bit over $20 is kind of unbelievable. I mean I've seen bunny girls not much nicer for 10 times the price. The bottom line is its a bargain, and if you like what you see in the pictures you will not be disappointed.

Best Girl

Anyone who says Miku isn't the best quintuplet is categorically wrong. I have definite incontrovertible proof of this fact that I can't go into here because it is classified. In case you don't believe me (which I really hope you don't at this point) we can discuss the qualities of this figure instead. First up its cheap and the quality is good. I didn't find any noticeable production flaws on mine and it looks just like the sample picture, just with a fancier base (shown in my picture). Secondly she is dang cute. Thirdly her sisters and available in matching style so you can build a matching set if you want. But even if you want just one this figure is a good ...Read moreClose

Finally a freaking Kazuma!

Permalink

I know its not the first Kazuma figure, but its the first cheap one I know of and a darn nice one to boot. His mischievous expression fits well with his "booty". (yes I used a double entendre and I'm not sorry!) If you are anything like me and have Megumin, Aqua and Darkness already then this little trouble maker fills out the set nicely. Its so nice to see the male protagonist actually get a figure *sniff*. Anyway, I definitely recommend this figure to any Konosuba fans because its a real "steal"! (Ok that one I kind of feel bad about)

Merry Bunnymas!

Do you like figures of cute girls?
Do you like sexy/cute Christmas outfits?
Do you like good quality figures at a low price?
Do you like "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"?

If you answered yes to any 3 of these questions you may have Kawaiiphelia, an irresistible urge to own cute anime objects. The only known treatment is to stare at a figure of a cute santa girl with bunny ears and long black hair. So if you think you may have this terrible, and totally not made up, disorder I highly recommend you buy this figure. Or you could just buy it because its dang nice, your choice really.

Worth the wait!

Permalink

(Just to be clear this is a review from the first batch, not the re-run, but they have the same page so this is where its going!) This is by far the sexiest figure I have ever bought, and even if it leads me towards a dark and pervy future I do not regret buying it one bit! From her impossibly short skirt that gives you a glimpse of her plump behind, to the slightly translucent white parts of her uniform, to her bewitching smile every bit of her is dripping with eroticism (no literal dripping has occurred). Honestly I think she is far sexier with her normal outfit than she could be any other way and it is glorious. The quality of design and production is beyond reproach and I would defin...Read moreClose

A little tsundere never hurt anyone!

Permalink

If you are looking for a lovely, accurate and affordable figure of Nino then look no more! The design really captures Nino's personality and is well carried out. It even comes with a nice themed base, which is somewhat unusually at this price. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to start an affordable set of the quintuplets or a Nino only collection. Not that I care what you think or anything, hmph!

Wicked!

Permalink

We've all heard of little devil Miku, but little dragon Miku?! This cross between Hatsune Miku and Maleficent (from Disney's Sleeping Beauty) is nothing short of genius. It stands out from other Mikus with a unique charm thanks to not only the obvious dragon elements, but also little things like her evil grin. Truly a villainous Miku that will steal your heart!

Tsukasa-chan Banzai!

Permalink

As Nasa-kun always tells us, his wife is very cute. This is the first wedding dress figure I've ever bought because for the first time it made sense to me. I mean the whole story starts with them getting married after all, so it really just feels right. As for quality and value it lives up to the other Pop Up Parade figure's track record. A fairly cheap figure, but with quality that wouldn't be disappointing on a figure twice the price. I fully recommend this to anyone who likes the anime, manga, or wedding dress figures.

Pep up your day the Quintuplet way!

Permalink

If you want a figure that captures that happy go lucky vibe Yotsuba has then look no further my friend! She is cute, she is cheerful and if you can look at this figure and not grin you are dead inside. Its a great looking figure, especially for the price. Makes it reasonable to buy the whole set without going bankrupt, not that I would do such a thing *whistles innocently*.

Looks as good as the picture

Permalink

We all know we are only buying Itsuki because we want a full set of the quintuplets, but whats wrong with that?! This figure pairs nicely with her sisters from the same line and has good quality for the price. You know you'll feel silly if you only have some of them, so you might as well get a good value Itsuki and avoid future regret! But in all seriousness this is a nice figure and I would recommend it to any fan of "The Quintessential Quintuplets".

A great gift for any Clamp fan!

Permalink

It is a nice assortment of prints from Clamp's various works. Not surprisingly there is a fair amount of Card Captor Sakura since that is their biggest hit, but other things like xxxHolic are covered too so it works well as a coverall gift. Also good for display if you want them yourself of course. Small enough you can display several without needing a whole wall but large enough to see properly.

It is what it says it is.

Permalink

It was what you would expect based on its description. If you really want some official Gura merch then its a good fit. If its not that important to you then its probably best to wait and something better will likely come along later.

Spectacular!

Permalink

As wrong as it may be this figure is what got me into the Fate series. When I first saw it I just couldn't resist it despite the fairly high price and not being familiar with either character. Its just that freaking nice! And when it arrived it did not disappoint. The details and quality are truly outstanding. Despite the fairly ambitious pose it doesn't have a bunch of structure that ruins the look. The only piece of extra support is an optional piece for under a one of their boot heels and mine has been set up for a year now without them moving the 1mm necessary to even rest on that. They are quite solidly in place. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the money? YES!

Heh!

Permalink

Honestly not sure how to explain her expression other than "Heh!". It looks very much like a Ram expression and I do wonder why she seems to be making a fist, but lets not worry about if she just punched Subaru or not. If you want a miko Ram then this figure will not disappoint. It is good quality for the money. Everyone should have a set of demon sisters dressed up like shrine priestesses, it just makes sense right?! RIGHT?!

Miko Rem!

Permalink

It may just be a recoloring of an earlier design but I don't care! The original design was well done and this recolor looks so natural it leaves no room for complaint either. I have both sets and couldn't be happier. Such a cute figure should be a crime! Rem looks so sweet in her miko outfit not even a demon could resist. Get it, because she is an oni... oh nevermind. Anyway good quality and an excellent price makes miko Rem a great buy by any standard.

Cute

Permalink

You get what you see in the pictures. A nice cute Chinese style Miku and a low price. It lives up to the pictures and if you like those you will like the figure. If you didn't like the pictures I have no idea why you would buy this figure in the first place...

Objection!

Permalink

You wanted to make the same Phoenix Wright joke and you know it! In all seriousness this figure of Kotegawa in her classic accusatory "Shameless!" pose is a long overdue gem. After all these years when they released not just 1 but 2 different nice normal looking Kotegawa figures I was thrilled. I nearly bought both but decided on this one due to personal preferences regarding the pose and outfit. After all nothing represents her so well as pointing at Yuki Rito yelling "Shameless" as he commits various crimes against physics to get tangled up with every girl in sight. This figure lived up to my expectations with excellent quality and is now a center piece of my colle...Read moreClose

Nice enough

Permalink

For a cheap figure it really isn't bad. The sculpt is decent and all just the colors seem a little wrong. Since they were that way in the picture I can't really blame them its just enough to keep this from being a truly great figure. Pretty sure when I ordered this there was no picture at all yet so maybe I should count myself lucky, lol. To sum up you get what you see, as long as you wait for pictures...

Smug much?

Permalink

This Nino figure has the excellent detail and quality for the money I expect from Pop Up Parade at this point so no need to focus on that. What matters is how this figure says smug troublemaker. After all she spends a not small amount of time acting that way and this smug expression captures her early behavior nicely. Honestly I would much rather have this style of Nino over the later love struck one since it makes her more different from her sisters. Though we all know we are all buying all 5 of them anyway, I mean how heartless would you have to be to split them up?!

Being the Good Girl

Permalink

This figure does an excellent job of portraying the "good girl" Ichika usually plays. She looks friendly and sweet just like she usually does. The figure has good detail and accuracy and nothing about it seems wrong or out of place. Also no production issues as far as I could tell so I'd definitely recommend this as a nice yet affordable option for getting your quint fix.

Will it Glow? Yes. Will it Crash the Moon into the Earth? Hopefully not...

Permalink

Got it as a gift for a Zelda fan and it lives up to its picture. Vibrant and well colored, nice glowing effect, and even its creepy buggy eyes all make it a well done real life version of everyone's favorite moon crashing evil mask. The price is fair considering the complexity and I see no reason to complain. Its not like I'm afraid of angering it or anything though, that would be crazy right?!

Its Erza So No Complaining!

Permalink

I have wanted a Erza figure since the early days of Fairy Tail and after a loooooooong wait it finally appeared! Its not horribly expensive, its not fan-servicey, its just a nice Erza figure at a reasonable price without any complications. The quality is good and with it I was able to complete the main group along with Natsu, Lucy and Gray. The only thing that would make it nicer was if it was Erza's original design instead of her later one, but that is a minor issue. Just so Happy to finally have this, it makes me want to yell "Aye!"

Crikey, It's a Whopper!

Permalink

Is there such a thing as too many Miku figures? Well yes, but its still worth making space for this one! Almost 1 foot of cute bunny Miku goodness for $20 is a deal you'd have to be insane to pass up! (not saying you are sane if you do buy it though...) It does have some minor issues like the stockings being a bit loose around the ankles and some not super clean seams. However, they are the sort of problems you expect at this price and don't do much harm to the overall look of the figure. So its not perfect, but I am still one happy customer.

Shizu Would Be Happy

Permalink

Good price, good quality, good subject matter. So guess that would have to make it a good deal right?! But seriously if you want a cheap but nice Shizu figure you'd be hard pressed to do better than this one. No noticeable issues with it and looks like the sales picture which makes me a happy slime *cough* I mean customer, yes definitely a human customer *whistles innocently*.

Well Knock Me Over and Call Me Senpai!

Permalink

Honestly its an awesome figure, and for the price a true gem. The detail on it is surprisingly well done, its fairly large, and I can not find 1 even minor manufacturing flaw on mine. The only part that looks like it belongs on such a cheap figure is its base, otherwise this could sit next to $100 and up figures and not seem out of place. I definitely recommend this for any Mash fan, and if you aren't a Mash fan this review wants nothing to do with you anyway!

Punk Rock Megumin... It Sells itself

Permalink

Lots of people prefer characters in their normal outfits and will see no point to alternate versions like this, heck usually I'm that way. However, there is something so insanely fitting about Megumin as a Punk Rocker it just sucked me in (and sucked the money out of my wallet at the same time). The delivered product was every bit as glorious as the pictures and the only issue I had was the cord for her keytar was a bit hard to get how I wanted it. In the end I decided I liked it better without the cord anyway. A great figure that I will never regret buying even though it wasn't cheap.

A Mamako Miracle!

Permalink

Its not super fan-servicy, its not $100, but it is surprisingly well done. For the price I was amazed at how well this fairly complicated figure was done. I was expecting a few issues here and there, but it arrived without any real issues with its paint, assembly, or anything else. Anyone who wants a Mamako figure on a budget couldn't do better than this, I should know I've looked.... a lot.

Psycho Miku, Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Permalink

I admit there are too many Miku figures out there to try and get them all so you have to pick and choose. That's where this one stand out. At first it looks like another cute Miku, this time is a 50's diner uniform, but when you see her face she has a screaming case of yandere syndrome. Instead of her usual sweet smile she looks 100% psycho, and for some reason I love it. The figure is well made with no obvious issues and I would recommend this to anyone else who finds that expression strangely irresistible.

Senpaiiiii!

Do you want a figure of the world's most lovably annoying kohai? Of course you do! Do you want good quality at a good price? Who wouldn't? Do you want a Philly cheesesteak? Sorry, can't help you there, but the first 2 this has down perfectly. Uzaki Hana in all her mischievous glory! Who could ask for anything more?

A Gray figure that Won't Cost you your Shirt...

Permalink

I've long lamented the lack of Fairy Tail figures available, a number made even smaller if you want them in their normal outfits. So when this guy, and the other related figures, came out I pounced faster than Happy at an all you can eat fish feast. And it did not disappoint, the quality is quite good and it has no production flaws I can find. Considering its fairly low cost I couldn't be happier. And if him being shirtless bothers you then you clearly don't know Gray Full-monty-buster!

Kazuma Approved!

That's right folks even our good friend Kazuma couldn't find fault with this Aqua figure (after all it can't talk to him). All the upsides of a bishoujo goddess with none of the panicky clingy behavior! Also the perfect idol for starting your local branch of her beloved Axis Cult on a budget, after all not everyone can afford a marble statue am I right? This high quality affordably priced figure can be yours and as a bonus you can even skip getting isekai'd!

Good but flawed

Permalink

This figure is not a bad deal by any means but I did have to take off 1 star for the large number of small flaws mine has. They are all little things like slightly messy paint that only matter if you look very closely so no real effect if you have it on display. I do appreciate the photos actually showing its support structure instead of editing it out like some figures do. In the end if you like the look of the picture I recommend this to you without hesitation.

Nya!

Nya nya nya, nya nya nya nya nya. *Clears throat* Sorry got too excited about the kitties and lost control there. If you like cats, maids, blue haired girls, or even Re:Zero this figure is for you! Its a good size a great price and of surprisingly high quality. I couldn't be happier with it. My only warning is those overly sensitive to cuteness should not look directly at the figure for fear they may start talking like a cat...

Now I'm All Fired Up!

I have been looking for reasonable options for normal Fairy Tail figure for years and am thrilled there is finally an option that doesn't cost a fortune! The figure looks great and has no defects that I can find. While it is a scaled down version of a much more expensive and rare figure from years ago that doesn't change the fact its a good figure. If all of Natsu's friends show up looking as good I will be one Happy customer ;p

Personal reasons

Permalink

Honestly I bought this figure because it is basically a cute anime girl version of me. While I know that doesn't work as a reason for anyone else to buy it I am very happy with it. Its well made and I didn't find any defects so I've got no complaints. If you like the picture you won't be disappointed.

It is what its supposed to be

Permalink

Not really a lot I can say except that it is what it is supposed to be. Its a cheap little figure of a minor character/pet and if you want a pigeon wearing a necktie I don't know of any better options.

Quality Control Issues

Permalink

This is a lovely figure, but unfortunately mine had some quality control issues. I can accept and almost expect some of the painting to be slightly off. However, mine had a noticeable area on the swimsuit top that hadn't been painted. While it wasn't huge it was very noticeable with the dark gray primer next to the pink. If not for that it would be a 5 star figure all day.

Suki Kirai

Permalink

I'll admit the reason I bought this was that this style of Miku appears in the Suki Kirai youtube video I've watched WAY too many times. It is very nice for the price and my only real complaint is the awkward somewhat unnatural looking pose. Something about the pose just seems wrong and it kind of bugs me so I took off 1 star. But if you are less OCD than me (you probably are) its a good figure.

Cute, just like Gamby-chan should be

Permalink

I was very happy when this normal clothes version of the earlier Christmas Gambier Bay was announced and it has given me no reason to regret that. She is cute as heck with her panicked expression which is so iconic of her. The only way it could be better is if she were in her normal uniform, but this is a more than adequate substitute for that and given the low price is worth every penny.

Celebrating 10 years of Racing Miku taking our money

Permalink

How could any Miku fan not want a figure celebrating 10 years of Racing Miku goodness?! It is a lovely figure in a unusually active pose that suits the figure very well. Changes from the prototype include a base with a design instead of clear and the secondary support being changed to a free-floating support arm under her raised leg, but neither of those detract from the result. Having a support under the main body gives me a lot more confidence in the long term stability of the figure. I am very happy with the figure and consider it worth every penny and the 2 year wait from when I pre-ordered it.

A Racing Miku that isn't really a Racing Miku

Permalink

While it is technically a Racing Miku with the appropriate badging it comes across far more like a very nice spring Miku. Which isn't a complaint since that is what its picture showed from the start and was what I liked about it. Fair warning the base isn't clear like the prototype and is instead translucent pink with flowers, which increases the spring feeling even more. Since it is free standing on the base (no pegs) you can also display it without the base or with any other base you can fit it on if you like. It lives up to the sales picture and that is all I could ask of any figure and I am most satisfied with it.

A traditional little angel... or demon I guess

Permalink

Between the great traditional Japanese outfit, the innate cuteness of Rem and the low price I think this is a must have for Rem or traditional outfit fans. Throw in that you can buy a matching Ram and its hard to imagine anything more you could want. Now I know Rem has a huge number of figures but if I'd rank this among the top, probably #1 if I consider price and the availability of a matching Ram.

Glad to have both this time

Permalink

Its nice to see Ram getting included alongside her sister with this one. Its a great figure for the price and I couldn't be happier but if it had only been Rem I probably would have bought a different design that had a matched pair (despite being very fond of this outfit). So much better as a matched set. Not to say they are not great on their own, I just think having them both matching multiplies the cuteness.

As Shown

Permalink

Not much I can say other than this figure came looking as you'd expect it to from the pictures. I have found no defects or paint issues on mine and am quite satisfied. So if you like the way it looks in the pictures you won't be disappointed.

Santa Rem, so much better than some old guy with a beard

Permalink

I'm a sucker for cute Santa outfit figures and this one got me good. If you want a super cute Santa with a bit of sexy thrown in its perfect. For the price this was a no brainer and I do not regret it!

Kitty Maid Sinon?!

Permalink

Its Sinon as a cat person in a maid costume, really it sells itself. End product lived up to the pictures and couldn't be happier.

What the Nep?!

Permalink

This Nep Nep approved Big Nep is perfect for anyone who is a huge weirdo like myself. If you can't look at pudding without thinking of Neptune, see a syringe without thinking of Compa, or come across a twin-tailed tsundere without thinking "she's no Noire" then you need this figure. If you are a sane person then I don't know why you are looking at Neptune goods in the first place! Seriously it is a great figure that lives up to its pictures and is in no way disappointing.

Who needs a race queen when you can have a race empress?

Permalink

Not much I can say except its every bit as lovely as the pictures suggest. I love the red/black coloration and grouped with my other race queens it is truly an empress to rule over them. This is a prefect example of getting what you pay for in a good way.

Nice figure but way too fragile

Permalink

FOTS is known for their figures being fragile and it seems to be deserved. When this figure arrived both feet, one leg and half of an arm had broken off. The shipping box showed no signs of damage so its trip was actually less bad than most of the figures I get, but I've never seen so much damage to a figure even from boxes that were crushed and stabbed. After 2 days of repairs I am happy with the end result (which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1) but so much damage is really not ok.

Squeeeee!

Permalink

Its a bird, its a plane, its a flying Miku! The squee face makes her look so excited that I really get a Christmas morning feeling from it. As a warning while suspended from her little chain she will point up at about a 45 degree angle since she it is not balanced, but that just makes her look like she is taking off. I am very happy with this and it will definitely be a centerpiece of my otaku Christmas decorations.

Pervy Sage Rampage!

Permalink

Want a badass looking Jiraiya? Buy this. Want one of Jiraiya's toads emerging from smoke to aid him? Buy this. Want it to be part of a set with Tsunade and possibly Naruto? Buy this and those. Want Jiraiya doing creepy hand motions and grinning perversely? Watch the anime.

Amazing for the price

Permalink

I would swear this figure cost well more than it did if I didn't have the order records. When I received it I assumed it was around a $70 figure since I didn't remember and was still happy with it. Seeing the price again writing this I'm even happier and truly amazed by the beauty of this figure. A great way to get an older racing Miku design to fill in your collection.

CUUUUUTE!

Permalink

Sort of think the title covers it but i guess I should say more. Its simple, if you want a cute casual Miku this is for you. If you don't I'm not sure why you are looking at this is the first place.

Slug Princess Power!

Permalink

Honestly I am extremely happy with this figure. Tsunade alone wouldn't be a bad deal for the price and the fairly elaborate slug and wave along with the base smoke makes it darn impressive. Set up next to the matching Jiraiya they make for one of the most impressive parts of my figure collection.

interesting variant

Permalink

The fact this Miku's face looks a bit more different than most may make it not to some people's taste and that is fine. It looks like its picture so you know what to expect. For such a low price it has darn good detail and won't lose out when side by side with more expensive figures.

Good as part of the trio

Permalink

Young Naruto's rasengan is very nicely done, but also makes it hard to actually see Naruto. While this is not quite as elaborate as Jiraiya or Tsunade he is also cheaper so that is expected. Its a decent figure for the price and the only reason I knocked off a star is the rasengan just blocks the view too much.

Nice for the price

Permalink

For being a not very expensive figure it is pretty nice. The detail is good and it is true to the original design so I have no complaints. A little odd it doesn't come with any sort of base but not really a problem.

Nice but overpriced

Permalink

The figure is nice and very true to the character but the price is a bit steep. Nothing in particular stands out as an issue, it just doesn't seem nice enough for the money. If I hadn't gotten it on sale I'd probably regret it, but as it is its nice enough.

Simply Lovely

Permalink

This figure is exactly what it should be. It is every bit as nice as its picture suggests and the 2 options for her right arm even allow some customization. I couldn't be happier with it.

Would be great if not for manufacturing flaw

Permalink

Overall the figure is very nice, however mine had some quality control issues that really hurt it. There is a easily noticeable brown mark across the torso and her left arm is a little out of position. The arm thing is almost expected so that is not a big issue, but the brown mark (which has not been easy to remove) should have been caught before it was sent out. Apart from that is a very nice figure and for the price I would still recommend it since they can't all be messed up ... right?

Uravity in all her glory!

Permalink

What can I say other than its a great figure and worth every penny. Great detail, true to the character's design and even has the option to swap out her head for helmet or no helmet. I am especially fond of the "floating" stance that doesn't use and clear plastic rods that ruin the look of many nice figures. While its true there are other good Uraraka figures this one is still well worth the money if you are a fan of the character.

It is what you'd expect

Permalink

For the low price its a well made figure and lives up to the sales pictures. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is its not my favorite Racing Miku design, but for the price it was still worth getting.

If I were a goblin I'd run

Permalink

This figure is true to the character and has a impressive amount of detail. Considering its fairly low price I can't think of another figure that gave me more detail for the money. I'm glad they made this so now if they make a $150 Goblin Slayer figure I won't need to buy it since I've got it covered!

Variety is the spice of life (AKA racing queen figures)!

Permalink

I'm so happy to see someone other than Hatsune Miku being given the Racing Miku treatment. Don't get me wrong, I love my all too numerous racing Mikus but its nice to have some variety in there and this one is a doozy. Its big (at 1/6) its beautifully made and it adds a nice pop to any racing Miku collection without clashing since its in the same style. I honestly couldn't be happier with it.

Kiiiiiiiin!

Permalink

Its got Arale, poop on a stick and most importantly Gatchan so how could I not love it?! Nothing adds class to you Nendoroid collection like Arale waving her beloved poop stick at them.

Simply Magical

Permalink

This figure is every bit as well done as the picture makes it look. The feeling of movement it gives is quite nice and makes it stand out from most other figures. I actually regretted pre-ordering this for a while but once it showed up and i saw it my regrets disappeared.

A more mature and elegant Rin for the more mature and elegant Otaku?

Permalink

All joking aside this figure is great. It is every bit as nice as the picture and having a more mature looking Rin really makes it beautiful as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't be happier, well a racing Rin would make me happier but that is irrelevant!

If looking serious is wrong, then i don't want to be right

Permalink

I know much of Saitama's charm comes from his comically simple face, but this just looks too awesome for me to complain. Every time I look at this figure only one thing come to mind "ONE PUUUUUUNCH!"

There is nothing wrong with a pink Miku!

Permalink

Considering the price this figure is outstanding. This level of detail would be good enough for a figure several times the price and I am glad I took the risk of pre-ordering it without a proper picture. See for yourself!

They really should put up a picture, so I will!

Permalink

Its a great looking Easter Miku and I'm glad I took the risk and bought it despite the lack of a proper picture. Its certainly not your average bunny girl figure :p

Who could say no to that smile?

Permalink

Is the figure expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes! With only some very small imperfections this figure is stunning. If you are a fan of Tohru or know one who needs an expensive gift this is prefect for you. The biggest problem is it makes me sad the Elma version didn't get a larger production run like this one did.

Nice but not as nice as the picture

Permalink

It is a good figure and I can't say it wasn't worth the money. However, it doesn't quite live up to the picture either. Rimuru is less blue and glossy in the end product which is why I took 1 star off.

Can't look away from the umbrella?

Permalink

This figure is extremely detailed for the price. Not only is Luffy himself nice but I was amazed at how nice the umbrella is. The detail on it really surprised me. If you are looking for a relatively serious looking Luffy or a traditional Japanese looking Luffy this figure fits the bill perfectly.

Cuuuute

Permalink

Its a cute picture and the price is reasonable so why wouldn't I buy it?! Even if I did end up buying 2 other ones just so I could put them on the wall supported by a string hanging from the connectors...

Rare Vocaloid Spotted!

Permalink

I was so happy to find something with Racing Luka for a change. I have nothing against Racing Miku and have plenty of her merchandise, but I really think Racing Luka could use more merchandise of her own. So this was a must have.

Exactly what it looks like

Permalink

If you want a plastic panel with a cute picture of Racing Miku than this is what you want. If you don't want that then why are you looking at this in the first place?!

Nep Nep approved!

Permalink

If you want pictures of Nep Nep being Nep Nep this is the book for you! All followers of Purple Heart, Green Heart, White Heart, Black Heart, Iris Heart, Orange Heart, and even Yellow Heart should have a copy!

A cuter little demon

Permalink

Just like with the matching Ram it is important to remember that 1/12 is pretty small for a figure. Unlike her sister Rem has a much softer expression like you would expect and it fits her nicely. Her popsicle can be a bit finicky though.

A cute little demon

Permalink

What you see is what you get. A cute little pink demon giving you a kind of mean look. Which is what you want from Ram. The Popsical can be a bit hard to deal with. Just remember 1/12 is pretty small.

Armed and Dangerous

Permalink

As a somewhat unusually designed ship girl I can see why some people may not go for Tatsuta and her sister ship Tenryuu, but if you like the style this figure is a great one for you. The great action pose and weapon with real metal pole make this a prime part of any Kantai Collection.

Great alone or with others

Permalink

This figure is awesome as far as I'm concerned. The different outfit is nice and she looks pretty bad ass. While it is nice alone I think it looks even better paired with another figure of the same group. Mine is paired with the matching Asuna and they give off a nice kick butt vibe.

Nice if you can get it on sale

Permalink

This figure is a fun play on the normal Stormtrooper but I wouldn't pay the full price for it. I feel the same about the whole line, but with a good sale its a different story. The good selection of interchangeable parts and the different poses you can choose make it easy to choose how you want to display it and the design hides the joints well so it doesn't suffer from the obvious joint issues on many jointed figures.

A great piece of the set

Permalink

I honestly love the entire line of Vocaloids this belongs to and this one fits right in. She looks very nice and dignified sitting on her tree and looks wonderful alongside the others.

A long wait rewarded

Permalink

I pre-ordered this figure the first day it went up and a year and a half later I couldn't be happier with that decision. It is a truly stunning figure and it doesn't lose out to any of my other similarly priced figures. I love how dignified and beautiful Miku looks. It is definitely worth the price.

A great accessory for Garp

Permalink

I bought this to display alongside my Portrait of Pirates Garp and it looks lovely there. It looks like his ship and for the price I think is a pretty good accessory for any Garp!

Very fragile ankle

Permalink

I really like the figure and the price is great but one big issue came up. Shortly after setting it up the ankle of the one foot holding her up broke and it took a good bit of effort to try to fix. It could be just mine was defective and I still don't regret buying it.

A lovely ecchi Kotegawa

Permalink

I know this is odd coming from someone buying a To Love-Ru figure but I would like it better without the ecchi-ness. I just couldn't resist as a big fan of the series and especially Kotegawa. It is a lovely figure and a good rendition of Kotegawa.

A Techno Fairy Racing Miku Gem!

Permalink

This figure looks every bit as great in real life as the picture, actually I'm not sure the pictures do it justice. It is stunning and since the wings are detachable you can choose to display it without them too if you prefer. A great addition to any Miku collection.

Great but needs more Tama

Permalink

A wonderful item for any fan of Ken Akamatsu's works. As a huge Love Hina fan I had to have it and I was not disappointed. My only complaint is it needs more Tama, but I'm pretty sure I would want more Tama no matter what.

Slime Time!

Permalink

As a huge can of Reincarnated as a Slime this figure really called out to me and I am not disappointed. For a cheap figure its detail is impressive and it looks great. The translucent still slime like parts at the base of his legs really sells the whole look and lets you know its slime time!

The Ultimate Luffy!

Permalink

From his super happy expression to the countless reference items he is wearing and carrying to the running posture I found this to be a perfect figure to represent Luffy in my collection. The only issue I had was difficulty getting him onto the arm used to hold him up, but with a figure at his price and this nice that is a minor issue.

Never even seen the Movie

Permalink

I've never seen the movie this character design came from, I just loved the look of it. Asuna and the Sinon of the same type standing next to each other make for a sort of badass 2 person Charlie's Angels look and I really like that.

Marilyn Monroe eat your heart out

Permalink

Such a sweet and happy looking Lala doing the iconic Marilyn Monroe pose just makes me smile every time i see it. It really is a feel good figure for me.

Fairly restrained

Permalink

I know its natural for To Love-Ru figures to be pretty fan service heavy, but I was looking for something not too extreme. This figure gave me a nice and relatively normal looking Mikan and works perfectly with my other To Love-Ru figures.

A dangerous set

Permalink

I bought the Miku from this set and love it, then the Rin, and now the Meiko. They look better with each one I add to the group dang it!

Nicely made and a good size

Permalink

For the price this figure is pretty detailed and good looking. I also like the size of it that allows it to stand behind some of my smaller figures without being blocked.

KanColle Takao 1/8 Scale Figure

Beautifully detailed

Permalink

I'll admit the starting price on this is a bit steep but I got it during a sale and it was worth every bit of what I paid. You can get nice KanColle figures for a lot less, but the level of detail on this is a whole different level than those ones. If you are in the market for this level of figure its definitely worth it.

Lovely wall decoration

Permalink

I love everything about the design and its a good size for a wall decoration. Its a bit expensive but I'm happy i bought it.

Nice but finicky

Permalink

I love the variety of parts it comes with but some of them are quite hard to get to do what you want. Even for a Nendoroid I found it to be uncooperative when it came to setting it up how I wanted. However once I got it there I was quite happy.

Very cute

Permalink

Looks every bit as cute as the picture. Wasn't hard to set up either. My only complaint is it likes to spin on its base, but as long as its on a flat surface its fine so not really a problem.

At long last

Permalink

Apart from the delays in release I have no issue with this figure. It is very cute and Miku-y. Happy to finally have a figure to match one of my favorite vocaloid songs.

Lovely

Permalink

A well made figure that is a nice change for the Racing Miku line-up. Not that I have anything against race queen designs, but its good to have variety! Certainly a good figure for the price.

Awesome Samus, silly Metroid on a stick

Permalink

The main Samus figure is beautifully done and I couldn't be happier. My only complaint would be that the Metroid on a pole is silly looking but that was obvious from the sales picture and is easily fixed by not using it.

Very cute

Permalink

A nice figure that really gives the right feeling for the shy and cute Kosaki.
