Quite a lot of poses thanks to all the spare arms/legs and the moveable leg parts.
Not too many other parts, but still with the visor, magic circle and the daggers everything needed for this character.
No mentionable quality issues, the paintwork was good.
Highlights:
- Really like the chains on the daggers
Really satisfied with my first bunny girl by FREEing, the small issues are not too bad and her bunny suit and fishnets look great. I am also quite satisfied with how her face and hair with the nice touches/gradients turned out.
The only point to criticise is that the drawback of the slave seal sticker is that you can see the outline of the sticker under strong lighting and that the lower part of the sticker is sticking out a bit, visible from lower angles.
Negative:
- A small paintwork issue on the right bangle(?), looks a bit like a small air bubble formed
- The slave seal sticker is slightly askew and seems like a bit of glue or something collected in her cleavage, ove...Read more
An unusual Nendoroid with a thought through design of the limbs and ears.
The facial expressions included are just perfect, and together with some nice poses and additional parts like the Kumorning Star or her poison magic attack it's a great Nendoroid if you like Kumoko :)
Highlights:
- Nendoroid box with a unique touch
- Adorable spider (Kumoko's self-perceived form is a perfect match for Chibi/Nendoroid format)
Quality issues:
- Two small impurities: Small black strands are stuck on her back that won't come off
- Paintwork a bit inaccurate on one ear and at the edges of some of the gray spots/markings
The last goddess in this production line comes with decent paintwork, except some vague finishes for smaller/more delicate parts like the hand or intricate details on her armor or bow.
Like with the other two figures, Sinon also feels a tad cheaply made in places, thanks to the material choices (like her arms and the hollow base).
Also minus one star because the assembly is quite hard, mostly because:
1) Attaching the bowstring to the right hand was not possible at first as the gap between her fingers was blocked with a bit of dry blue paint that had to be removed first.
2) Attaching the bow to the left hand required quite a bit of force and bending of the thumb (flexib...Read more
[2nd production run]
A big improvement compared to the paintwork of Genco's Asuna, while not perfect, it is okay for a figure in this price range. Still, like with Asuna, some parts feel like they are made from a cheap material (like hands or part of her hair).
So all in all a decent figure, but still a bit overpriced.
Quality wise almost perfect and really great looking hair/ears, add to that the really detailed and well painted clothes, and Karyl got a great Nendoroid. Overall great face-plates with a nice assortment of additional parts and available poses, plus the two spell effects and the little "yabai wa yo" text effect make for some great poses.
Highlights:
- While a bit limited in uses, her frantic, pale-faced expression is quite unique
- Some great combinations with/without her staff and the optional spell effects
- Yabai wa yo, her effect/text plates add a nice touch
Negative:
- The gold colored stitches on her skirt are a bit inaccurately painted in in...Read more
Megumin's winter outfit was worth the wait, it looks great and the pose does a good job showcasing that poncho and cute cap.
Minus one star for some smaller paintwork issues, especially on the front of her poncho and the slightly inaccurate looking transition from her legs to her shorts.
Overall a good Schwi figure with a great face/facial expression and a neat pose. Considering the price they mostly did a good job (especially her hair, hat and shoes), but her clothes still look quite bland / low on details.
Still, the biggest issues on my Pop Up were:
- Some scratches on top of her left arm, luckily only visible when viewed from above as they are hidden by the sleeve
- Her hair on the right side does not lie as it should (touching her clothes at chest-level), there is quite a bit of visible space, maybe a production issue or possibly thanks to the extensive use of packaging to keep her hair safe and prohibit color transfer, as the little plastic foil was cr...Read more
A good Nendoroid with a heavy focus on combat (effects/poses), except maybe the blushing oden combo.
Positive/Highlights:
- The moveable scarf and flexible leg joints
- Her sword Purgatory and the platform shoes look really great in chibi form
- Her hair with the nice accents, ahoge/cowlick, ribbon and hair ornaments
Negative:
- A lot of small black dots in different places (a face-plate, chest area, clothes, beam effect)
- A small smudge of black paint on her right leg
The inverted black and white on Yuna's outfit and the updated facial expression were worth it, the white bear version also looks great/cute and while it's a bit low effort going with the same pose, the quality is as you can expect of Pop Ups.
Positive:
- Compared to my black bear version this one's belly was made a bit better (the seam/gap between belly and the rest)
Negative:
- The same pose as the black version
- A slight smudge near the belly but not really visible
A great Nendoroid and even better combined with Yukinon. Yui comes with a lot of neat and fitting parts and her poses are spot on. All three face-plates look good and fit Yui, really like the smile and the shocked/flustered expression (and pose) just screams "Geh, Hikky" :)
Also, I found no paintwork/manufacturing issues.
Positive/Noteworthy:
- Great combination with Yukinon (dog ears vs cat ears / holding Sablé vs holding Pan-san / holding hands)
- Yui's hair looks great (paintwork & bun)
Echidna is a solid Nendoroid with a nice assortment of poses and parts, and 3 especially great looking facial expressions.
Positive/Noteworthy:
- Good & matching parts (teacup, book, chair + sitting pose)
- Facial expressions work well in Nendoroid format, eyebrows have quite the impact
Negative:
- A black dot near the left eye on face-plate 2
- A paintwork issue on the dress (front, white seam)
A great and well-made figure with a lot of neat details (like creases on her bunny suit or well her well skulpted bare back).
The bunny + casino is a great combination, and the unique base-plate with the barstool looks great.
Positive:
- Really liked her face/eyes, and the bare back
- Red bunnysuit with black fishnet stockings is a great combination for Kurumi
- Great paintwork (except the little issues listed under "Negative")
Negative:
- Multiple smaller paintwork issues (on her left hand, on the rabbit ears)
- 2 small black impurities on her back
- A little manufacuring issue on her hair
Love Tantei Chika finalizes the trio by delivering some great and expressive facial expressions (and the final panorama part of the student council room).
Like the other ones, she is a bit limited as a standalone (but not as much as the other two), but still a bit heavy on text plates instead of more parts for more variety.
Positive:
- Compared to Kaguya and Miyuki, Chika is (at least in my case) more well made and there is only one paintwork issue. Hopefully toytec can keep this upward trend going, as the overall quality for this series was quite lacking, especially given the price
- Detective hat looks good
- Negative:
- A dot of orange/red paint on her ri...Read more
From top to bottom, Yukina's hair looks good with some nice accents and her face is fitting, especially her eyes look great and are standing out thanks to the color of her hair and clothes.
Her blouse is a bit lacking, but the many wrinkles add a realistic feel, keep it from looking uniformly "plain white".
This is in stark contrast to her great looking skirt and the even better looking tights, rounded up by decent looking, glossy pumps.
A great Pop Up, and while the bear costume is really low on details and uniformly colored black and white, this does not feel unnatural and they used the free creative energy/budget on Yuna's great looking hair (by Pop Up standards) and her gloves, plus her great looking face.
Positive:
- Kumayuru & Kumakyuu gloves look great and are well painted given the small size / smaller details
- A really adorable smile by Yuna
Negative:
- The gap between her white belly and black bear costume is a bit bigger on the bottom-right compared to the gap in general
Regarding the Nendoroid Doll:
Compared to normal Nendoroids a bit taller, and not too many fancy additional parts or additional face-plates, but the face-plate we get has a really energetic smile and the different sets of hands make for some nice poses, the double-V pose is just too cute :)
Regarding the clothes:
The classical Hatsune Miku outfit looks great and there are no quality issues. I am very satisfied with the quality and level of details of the final product (it's my first Nendoroid Doll).
Miku looks great in her finely patterned kimono and comes with great face-plates, matching the overall elegance of the Nendoroid. The ribbons and umbrella matching the kimono, or the optional flower matching the flowers in her hair make for nice accents. Quality and paintwork is perfect (minus 2 small issues).
Highlights:
- Highly detailed kimono
- Great hairdo with a lot of volume with additional ribbons and flowers that match the kimono well
- Great face-plates
Negative:
- 2 small paintwork issues on the kimono
What Passionlip's Nendoroid lacks in additional parts and available poses she compensates with her elaborate arms/hands and her voluminous hair (... and chest). Quality and paintwork are good, down to the small details on her hands.
Highlights:
- The arms can be adjusted quite a bit and each finger is movable as well
- Nice face-plates
Negative:
- Most of the money went into her elaborate hands/arms so not too many additional parts
- I'm assuming her heavy hands could put quite a strain on the joints/pegs on her arms, so it could be a problem to display her with outstretched arms over long peroids, but time will tell...
- A slight scratch (not ...Read more
The next Yurucamp Nendoroid entry and second version of Rin comes with a lot of parts (not even counting the 3 good looking face-plates and the second head part), and is well made like the other ones, but has some smaller paintwork issues in my case.
The available poses are manifold and the scooter really brings some nice options into play.
Highlights:
- Scooter
- Customary foodstuff/camping gear and speech bubbles
Noteworthy:
- The inside of the box is fashioned after her scarf
Negative:
- A small black dot near her right eye on face-plate 2 (negligible)
- 2 small silver dots of paint on her jacket (luckily hidden by her scarf if she wears ...Read more
2B looks great as a Nendoroid, with quite a lot of cool poses, requiring a lot of additional leg and arm/shoulder/hand parts. Quality and paintwork is good (except the little issues listed at the bottom), but especially her hair and dress look great!
Noteworthy:
- A really long manual (also: The part about removing the blindfold is a tad misleading as it instructs you to pull it down, but you have to carefully pull it back first as it is attached to the face-plate via a small peg)
Positive:
- Face-plates look good with/without the blindfold
- A lot of versatility to the poses, especially for her arms
Negative:
- Some small paintwork issues (on two l...Read more
Yet another Kimetsu Nendoroid with great attack effects. Giyu comes with a nice assortment of matching face-plates (with really great looking eyes).
The available poses are good and while the poses are more fight-oriented (thanks to the effects), the typical calm pose or the shocked/surprised pose are nice as well.
Quality and paintwork is great, his patterned haori is well painted and I found no issues with the paintwork, even for the smaller details (like on his uniform or the engraving on his sword).
Highlights:
- Obviously the water attack effects
A Nendoroid is the perfect format for the expressive Zenitsu and they did a great job in selecting & making the face-plates. He also has a lot of available poses and additional parts/effects to recreate some of the scenes that just stuck to mind.
Highlights:
- The special effects
- The hair, especially the orange bangs in contrast to the otherwise yello hair
Negative:
- Some small black dots on his clothes
- A bit of orange paint and a little gray line on the left side of his hair (in the yellow part)
Not too happy with the quality, and feels a bit pricey for what you get, but overall a good Nendoroid with 3 fitting face-plates, great cat-ear-hairbands, and a heavy focus on speech-bubbles (as customary for this Nendoroid line it seems).
Highlights:
- Comes with the second background sheet that can be combined with Kaguya and Chika to create a big panorama of the student council room
- Good facial expressions
Negative:
- Production issue on the hair, on both sides of his temple there is a small, long line that's slightly that is visible in close-ups
- A small gap between head and the hairband, it does not sit tightly on his hair
- Feels a bit pric...Read more
Another great 2-in-1 Zombie Land Saga Nendoroid with an okay living mode and a great zombie mode.
Except a little paintwork issue the quality and paintwork is good, as expected of a Nendoroid.
What the living mode does lack in versability, available poses and impact, the zombie mode delivers with ease.
The facial expressions are just great and the zombie poses that you can create are terrific.
Highlight:
- Obviously, Junko sitting depressed on the floor with mushrooms growing from her head (just like in the original)
Negative:
- A little paintwork issue on the "sitting legs" part
Quality and paintwork is good like in most cases. There are not too many good poses or parts available, but that is also reflected in the low price, so not a bad point per se. Noteworthy are the adjustability of the legs and the second body part to display Tatsuya only wearing a jacket.
Can't really find bad points about a good and affordable Megumin figure and the option to display her with/without her hat is a nice freebie.
Quality and paintwork are good for a figure in the price range of Pop Up Parade figures, and nothing really feels like they oversimplified her outfit to reduce production costs.
Negative
- A little bit of red paint in the yellow part on the inside of her left sleeve, but more or less hidden by her staff, so not too bad
A great Popup figure and a good looking Aqua figure overall.
Nothing negative about the quality, the paintwork had no flaws and they even added the semi-translucent layer to her skirt.
Negative:
- The hair could've used more work as it looks quite plain in my eyes, but should be acceptable for a figure in this price range, so no point reduction
The next addition to Phat!'s NGNL is a good figure as always.
The colorful hair is, as always, just great looking.
Other highlights are the great facial expression (as always really great eyes) and the detail on her sailor uniform with all the wrinkles and creases, plus the gradations and nice touches of light and shadow.
Apart from the questionable pose it's another great NGNL figure by Phat!, still ecchi is par for the course for NGNL and in the case of Shiro it's not out of character, so it's not some unnecessarily forced fanservice...
Last but not least, the chibi Tet looks also great!
Negative:
- Some small paintwork issues / in...Read more
A really cute Nendoroid, with fitting face-plates, some nice poses with variations (combat/food!/normal) and nothing negative to be said about.
Positive:
- Matching accessories: Gloves + attack effect or lots of food for the growing little girl/bird she is
- Great face-plates, really like that innocent smile, but all of them are good with a lot differing expressions
- Her cowlick works well in her Nendoroid version
Negative:
- Nothing negative to be said, quality/paintwork was good with no issues
5/5 Tapestry:
As depicted, the picture looks great on fabric and there are no issues with the print or damages.
5/5 Clear Poster:
Features the same picture, comes unfolded and is not made of cheap paper like normal posters.
4/5 Keychain:
As depicted, can't really say anything good/bad about it.
3/5 Multi case:
Expected more of a case or box, but I'd say it's more of a clear file (like the ones TOM always includes).
---
Little tidbit:
The package (from TOM) was a lot bigger than you'd expect (could have easily contained a small TV), containing the original cardboard box. This should explain the high shipping cost,...Read more
The last of the trio makes quite an impact thanks to her glossy red clothing. The quality is great and there are no paintwork issues, even though there are a lot of smaller details.
Positive:
- Transforming her red & black Archer outfit into a stage outfit turned out great
- Her bold and cheeky character really comes through thanks to her showing of a lot more skin than Illya/Miyu and the wink
- All three figures feature some smaller golden accents on their clothes
Negative:
- A little black impurity on the backside of her right arm (so only really visible from behind)
- Like with the other two of the set the base is not that sophisticated
A decent Nendoroid with great face-plates (great eyes!), but not too many available poses. It feels a bit like they focused a bit too much on the background and all those text plates. Still, while the "cuuuuute" pose and the cat-ears look quite nice, the other poses are a bit lackluster, but that should change when combined with the other Nendoroids of this series.
Positive:
- Should make for quite a nice panorama when combining the backgrounds with the ones coming with Shirogane and Chika
Negative:
- Poses are a bit limited/lackluster
- Paintwork issue on the left leg, the stocking was painted a bit inaccurate with a bit of black paint on her leg
Melt's Nendoroid comes with three great looking face-plates that are useful for different poses/moods, and especially the embarrassed expression and the (derisive) smile look great.
Other highlights are obviously her unique outfit, her legs and her hands (not visible because of the long sleeves).
Nendoroid-wise we get some neat looking slightly translucent hairtips, some nice sliding/kicking poses (plus special effects) and her holding a plush Fou.
[Changes] Instead of the transparent base with a white peg the final version comes with a black base and a black peg. It is also a bit higher.
The tight fitting China-Dress with all the little creases and ribbons really looks good on Kurumi, the pose looks great and her prime colors of red and black are obviously no wrong choice.
Quality and paintwork are good (except the issue listed at the end), the little details are well painted, and her slightly red hairtips look good on her without clashing too much with her black hair.
Negative:
A little gap on her right shoulder between her shoulder and the white edge of the dress. Apparently there is a groove at the edge of...Read more
Thankfully the quality for the second DaL Kimono figure from Kadokawa is top notch (minus some small issues listed at the end), so there is not much negative that can be said about the quality of this figure, different from my Kurumi from the same production line.
The Kimono: The color palette fits Tooka and as only the lower parts of the sleeve or the bottom part are in a darker color (really nice gradients though!) the light pink Kimono creates a neat emphasis on her dark purple hair, or otherwise :) . And the flower print on the Kimono looks just as good.
Her hair: As always, Tookas hair is quite voluminous thanks to her slightly spread out ponytail, has some nice accent...Read more
The second Klangfest figure is a good continuation of the series and a great figure of Miyu in general.
Except one paintwork issue (listed at the end) the paintwork is impeccable and looks great.
Obviously the blue/purple/black theme fits her and the glossy parts (dress/gloves/boots) look great.
There are also a lot of nice little details like creases or shading, adding a good amount of realism to the "mid-performance" pose.
Positive:
- Really like the facial expression
Negative:
- A paintwork issue on her shawl (near the collar, only visible from behind)
- Given the price for a 1/8 figure they could have at least put some more love into th...Read more
A great Asuna/Stacia Nendoroid with a nice selection of face-plates and a ton of carefully painted details for her dress and accessories (they still simplified her outfit in some places (e.g. ribbon, skirt), but for a Nendoroid that's totally fine).
While there are not that many additional parts we still get a lot of different looking poses thanks to the differing facial expressions and the parts (sword, light effect) to create some attacking poses.
Minus one star because of a paintwork issue on the left scarf(?) and a little dent on the right scarf(?), visible in close-ups.
First: The base was changed quite a bit, to a white pillar, that looks obviously better than the initial "base" (while still being quite cheap and hollow). If you look at the product images of Sinon/Leafa you can get an impression on what it will look like, but the final pillar is still a bit taller than in those photos.
Second: Other changes are that they replaced the red gem at the bottom of her dress with a small cutout to match the official artwork. The hair may also not be 100% accurate to the photos, as there appear to be multiple looks of her bangs (the two long strands of hair to the left/right of her face).
Quality:
Some smaller paintwork issues (a gr...Read more
A perfect chibi rendition of Inosuke, this Nendoroid continues the great Kimetsu no Yaiba Nendoroid line with a LOT of key poses, great and fitting face-plates.
The mask looks great and has a lot of details for the fur and the eyes are just great.
Also, the stuffed face with the grains of rice stuck around hith mouth is just hilarious to look at.
Other highlights are the detailed pecs, unusually muscular arms (for a Nendoroid) and of course his jagged swords (including the slash effects).
The fifths entry of Max Factory's Yuru Camp Nendoroid line continues the great work with a lot of additional parts / gimmicks / available poses, great combos (e.g.: Together with Rin and weird hairdo or the sitting posture like all the others, for sitting together at the campfire).
Really well-rounded with the 3x2 face-plates (with/without beanie), her Dog Chikuwa in camping attire and all the other additional parts and poses/combos, she perfectly fits with the other four girls with ease.
A really colorful and cheerful Nendoroid, and while I am not too fond of the 2020 racing outfit, it still looks okay on Miku, fits the racing theme and is quite detailed and carefully painted. Still, for me the selling point were the great face-plates and the unique/limited mask that looks unexpectedly good depending on the eyes of the face-plate.
A bit costly, but given all the parts (tools, flag, body parts) and the racing car (sticker assembly required), it's more or less justified.
Negative:
- A little nick on her hair on the right side, but hidden by her mic, so not visible
[Review of the 2020 re-run]
Nendoroid-wise there is nothing negative I could say:
- The quality/paintwork is solid (just nothing flashy, a school uniform is not really highly sophisticated). Still, we get some nice little details like her hair pin or even the Gekota strap on her bag.
- Three face-plates with some additional parts is a good deal given a price under $50
Character-wise the depiction of Mikoto is okay, I am a bit unhappy with her facial expressions, something just feels a bit off for me depending on the face-plate. We also get some iconic poses like the spark effect for her hair or the railgun pose. Would have loved her casual look with ponytail, cap a...Read more
A really good Lucy figure, the (summoning) pose is fitting and I think that they got her look (especially the face and hair) quite well.
As always for this price range, the details/individual touches are downtoned by a lot, but we still get a lot of details in the right places (her hair and her clothes (= a lot of fitting creases)).
Quality-wise a bit lacking with some smaller issues (at least for my figure), but overall well made for this price range.
Negative:
- Multiple smaller paintwork issues / inaccurate paintwork, nothing too tragic, still a bit dissapointing, even for a Pop Up Parade figure
- A bit more details on the key and whip would've been great
Another great version of Hatsune Miku in Nendoroid form, featuring a fresh new look for her clothes and cool looking twintails with the hairtips being spiky and a bit translucent.
The starry eyed face-plate is also worth mentioning, and the glasses add another level to the face-plates.
Last but not least, the "Miku colored" guitar is a nice addition that makes for some nice poses.
Negative:
- A little paintwork issue on the left twintail, not too tragic but visible from the side in close proximity
Goodsmile did a great job in picking great expressions for the face-plates, the embarrassed expression looks nice depending on the setup and her rarely shown smile is adorable.
The paintwork/quality is solid, with all the little details (e.g. ribbons or buttons) painted without any issue.
The additional parts (Pan-san, book) are fitting and the cat ears work well with multiple poses.
Negative:
- A little black dot on the backside of her uniform jacket (in the white part)
The Nendoroid comes with matching face-plates and some nice poses, with the additional Puck thrown in that works for most of the poses.
The icicles are a bit more limited in use, but make for a nice fighting pose or Emilia just hovering an icicle over her hand.
Aside from that, the option to display her with her hood and cape is great and looks just lovely together with her smiling expression.
Lastly, the paintwork is great given all the little details on her clothes or delicate parts like her hair ornament, the two small issues I found are listed at the end and not too problematic.
Negative (not too noticeable from a distance):
- A little black dot on a face-plate...Read more
Rem comes with a lot of quite different poses, they really managed to stuff a great selection of different expressions and poses into the box - and even the Oni form - for a great price considering what you get.
The paintwork is solid sans one little issue on the backside, including all the little details like ribbons or hair ornaments, that were well made, that's not a big issue.
Noteworthy:
- A great combination with her sister's Nendoroid as the tray pose is also included for Rem
Negative:
-A little bit of paint on the backside of the skirt
The illustration looks as depicted and the tapestry is of high quality and well made (as far as I can tell). I spotted 3-4 smaller details that look like print issues to me, only visible from a really close proximity, so no real problem.
As the title says, this is a solid adaption of Sora Ginko and if you like the character, the Nendoroid is a nice collectible (but not a must have)
She has some nice variations for both the standing and sitting poses and the additional parts (the fan, folded or expanded or the shogi piece) make for some little variation that matches the character.
For the facial expressions the default cool/composed look and her little blush make for nice face-plates, but I would have really liked for the angry expression to be a bit icier.
The rest is Nendoroid standard fare, a good looking sailor uniform with some small details or her hair with some nice touches (shading).
Minus one sta...Read more
My Senko-san arrived in a perfect condition (found no quality issues) and is a great Nendoroid adaption of her.
All face-plates look great and her flustered expression is great!
Her ears and tail look fluffy as expected of her, and the hair in general looks really neat, especially those little bright spots look great on the orange hair.
The poses work for the character and the idea to use the rice cooker "as intended", like together with that heap of rice or to recreate the opening scene with her tail sticking out of it is great and really does the Nendoroid product line justice :)
Nezuko got a great combination of cute and savage, with a great assortment of facial expressions and great looking eyes. The angry expression with the little veins looks great in combination with her punching or kicking pose, while the normal expression shows her cute side, all while her mouth is hidden.
While the bamboo muzzle can be removed this is mainly to switch the face-plates as the holes where it is connected to the head are visible.
Nezukos unique hair style with her red tips looks great in Nendoroid form, but that's the only real eye-catch for the hair thanks to the black color.
Next is her kimono with the intricate pattern carefully reproduced and quite customiza...Read more
A really artistic Nendoroid with those great looking slashes + water effects. Not that many cool poses apart from the Breath of Water style attacks, but that's mainly the fault of those great effects that can create some really cool attacking poses. The next part to mention would be the hair that looks great with the transitions from lighter to darker red. The rest is standard fare with some nicely painted details like the talisman-earrings or his uniform.
PS: The package was quite mangled, but the content survived with only some bumps and tears thanks thanks to the bubblewrap and filling.
First off: The base is not that "cheap", transparent round base as shown in the product images and instead a heart-shaped base matching her dress.
And now the figure: The quality is really great, with only some smaller inaccuracies at the fringes of the skirt, but nothing to fuss over. All the little details, from the little golden accessories, to the detailed cake and the colored strands of hair are carefully painted and leave no questions asked. Combined with that great looking dress (really like the design!) and her cute, excited expression, this figure is well worth the money and easily one of the best scale figures of Kizuna AI.
Katsushika Hokusai is a cool and vividly colored FGO Nendoroid, especially the Kimono and hair ornaments/pins got a lot of of love. The finer parts are well painted, especially the great looking kimono. The three face-plates are quite different, and can create a lot of poses by combining them with the optional parts, of which the big brush and obviously Toto-sama combined with the ink-attack are noteworthy.
Minus one star because of the following quality issues:
- A brown smudge on her right shoulder
- Smaller light gray dots/lines on two face-plates
Kurumi was captured beatifully in her red and black Kimono, reminiscent of her typical outfit, with the white flower imprints and some yellow or gold mixed in for good measure.
The figure gives off a feel of quality and the figure is quite weighty thanks to the Kimono. As expected most of the focus went into the Kimono, which looks gorgeous, with some nice details for her guns and hair ornament.
The back base-plate with the flower imprint is also a great addition.
All in all another great Kimono figure and and another beatiful figure of Kurumi, but as I am not fully satisfied with the quality of my individual figure (reasons listed below) I am only giving 3/5 stars.
...Read more
Cat-ears, a cat-tail and a minutely colored maid uniform make for a great Nendoroid. They did a great job in capturing Vanillas expressions in those three face-plates, especially the smug, cat-like grin is a great fit, but all in all, all three are matching the character and match Vanilla. Also, the ears and her pigtails look really nice in Chibi format.
Personally I'd say Vanilla's Nendoroid is a tad better than Chocola, they are obviously quite alike, but Vanilla's expressions are better in my opinion.
Minus 0,5 stars because the poses are a bit limited, could have been a bit more for the price.
Minus 1,5 stars because I got unlucky and got a lot of annoying...Read more
Ichigo in her school uniform plus hoodie was a scene that really stayed in memory after watching the first ending, and it's great to see her again after quite some time now.
The quality is overall high, with a lot of small details (the tie, the hoodie, the zipper, her bag, ...) and only some smaller issues that are not to troublesome/eye-catching (listed at the end).
Highlights:
- The rusty, grimy bridge with all the little details like signs of wear, little damages, bent parts and of course little can of Magma Energy Drink
- The option to display Ichigo with her hood on or off, her hair looks great in both versions
A little tidbit:
The translucent pill...Read more
A cute Chocola makes for a cute Nendoroid. Cat-ears and a cat-tail look good on a Nendoroid and her long (adjustable) pigtails really come through in the chibi format.
Chocola comes with some matching face-plates that have some really Chocola-esque expressions. The crying and smiling expressions are especially nice regarding look, feel and uniqueness.
The poses are a bit limited, but work well with the available face-plates and the poses are a nice play on Chocola as a maid or just "plain old" Chocola with her usual antics.
The paintwork, especially on the maid uniform with all the small details (ribbonc, etc.) is mostly well done minus some smaller issues.
Neg...Read more
A really elaborate Nendoroid with a lot of parts (22 going by the manual) that fits the character, does a great job depicting Ogaki and her little antics, and is a great combination with the already existing YuruCamp Nendoroids (e.g. sitting position or the tsukkomi or the special combination with Nadeshiko).
Nendoroid (How well does this figure play a Nendoroids strengths? - How many poses, accessories/parts, different expressions):
Rating: 5 of 5
- (3+1) Face-plates + 2 different head parts (with or without cap) + two glasses
- The manual lists 22(!) different parts, going from A to V...

First things first: The base for the final product is a rounded chessboard (like the ones for the Jibrils), but the diameter seems to be about the same as is shown in the product images.
Another high quality figure in this product line, with only some smaller quality issues and a lot Izuna, and a lot of skin (They upped the fanservice quite a bit for this figure, but maybe because of the overall presentation it does not feel too raunchy, at least to me, and NGNL just likes it's ecchi/suggestive imagery, so that's that...).
The figure itself is quite delicate, especially the tail, which is a feather-weight, and I am quite sure it is hollow (pun intended).

A great combination and another great Fate figure by Stronger.
The paintwork is perfectly done, no issues on that point, all parts are well painted down to the smallest details.
The quality is high with only some minor quality issues (listed at the end).
The highlights for me are the 2-in-1 figure and the glossy finish on the clothes, looking both great and really fitting for the racing theme.
Negative (not enough for a point deduction in my opinion as nothing is too noticeable from most angles/without direct close-ups):
- 2 little dark dots in Mordreds hair
- Some small gray dots and a little gray line on Jeanne's skirt
- Some smaller issues on the flag...Read more
The Dangerous Beast costume was long overdue and is still quite popular I'd say, so here we are with the original version in figure form.
The base: Now that's a unique base and it totally fits the purpose and the hairs are really smooth.
The tail: Easily holds Mash in place (as she would topple over without it), and with ease at that, as the tail is really heavy. The many hairstrands are well colored in a range from a light purple or even pink to dark purple, giving some nice emphasis to the hairstrands.
The figure: A great figure with a lot of smaller details and given all the smaller parts without any bigger issues. The slightly translucent hair, the gr...Read more
A neat figure of Shiro in her Sniper outfit, from her creased shirt to the socks and as could have been expected, her striped underwear aka shimapantsu. The facial expression looks really Shiro-esque and the pose also fits the theme. The highlight obviously is the hair, which looks great.
Positive:
- The hair is, as expected of NGNL, really cool and vibrant. The gradient is also well made. (The dull hair color reminds of Phat!'s NGNL line.)
- Glossy socks
Negative / Minus one star because:
- A bit of blue paint on her behind, only visible from a low angle so normally not too problematic
- A small scratch on her right sock
A really well designed figure of Emilia in a wedding dress that looks really great on her and fits the wedding theme quite well without going over the top with a underwear only / fanservice heavy design like Ram & Rem in the same product line.
I also like the pose that highlights Emilia's long hair without feeling forced/unnatural and the ribbon in her hair together with the slightly hovering veil, and of course the flowing hair, look reasonably natural (maybe a gust of wind).
Last but not least, her facial expression looks great with her smile that shows a bit of her teeth and of course her beautiful eyes.
Noteworthy:

A gorgeus figure of Mimori in a unique pose reserved for only this character. As the description says, it doesn't feel at all like a 1/8 figure and feels easily bigger than some 1/7 figures, thanks to the elevated position on her rifle, her hair volume and of course her hair ornament "stalks".
The figure itself is really complex with a lot of details and some nice color gradients for her clothes, especially on the hair ornaments.
The rifle has a lot of small details and is (as can be guessed) not affixed to the figure.
The highlight of course is the unique pose of Mimori mounted on her rifle, floating in mid-air propped up by her hair ornaments and the rifle and o...Read more
Link BotW DX comes with everything a Nendoroid needs:
A lot of poses, parts and face-plates.
He should easily be one of the most versatile Nendoroids out there - and they mostly focused on weapons for additional parts.
They did a good job in picking some cool parts/poses as this should have been quite hard given how limitless the possibilities are in this case.
And as of 2020 the synergy together with the Zelda BotW Nendoroid should also be noted.

Zelda looks great solo and has (obviously) a great synergy with the BotW Link.
The Nendoroid itself only focuses on Zelda as a researcher and not as a princess or priestess as she only has one set of clothes.
But that's more than enough for a great Nendoroid depicting some memorable scenes.
The paintwork's quality is great and especially all the little details on her clothing and her hair make for quite a view.
And the included panorama is obviously worth to note.

Really cool facial expressions (4 of them), but not too many striking poses or available parts.
Paintwork is overall good with some smaller issues listed below, but most of her clothes or the items for her hands are detailed and well painted.
Not that many poses, even with all those face-plates, and factoring in the smaller quality issues, it's only 4 stars for me.
Also, the asphalt like base matches the Shinjuku Saber Alter, looks like that's a gimmick of the Shinjuku series.

A great Nendoroid with two different forms (living or zombie).
Her zombie expressions look great and she has some poses to look the part.
But the highlight is obviously the truck papercraft to recreate the memorable first scene :)

The goddess of party tricks, in Nendoroid form, plays her strengths perfectly: Party tricks and silly faces ;)
The party tricks parts and the staff are fitting additions, only the feather mantle is missing, but for the price the parts, poses and the three great face-plates are totally fine.
Minus one star because of some quality issues.

The pose is quite unique but works really well with Emilia as it really showcases her long hair and clothes, especially the long sleeves. The flowing hair, fluttering clothes or the pendant that seems to jump a bit gives off a really good impression of movement.
The figure itself has some neat details, especially the wrinkles on the clothes, fingernails and of course the hair with the delicate ribbon on the hair ornament or the single strands of hair (which require a careful hand when unpacking).
Minus one star because of some smaller quality issues:
- Two small black dots
- A small gray stroke in the hair
- Coloring issue near the hip (gray, black strokes)
A beautiful figure with a lot of details. The kimono is one of the highlights, given the vivid color, details (creases, shading), the flower print and the glass-like parts in the left sleeve.
The blue glass-like parts inlet in the left sleeve are somewhat tranclucent given good lighting, but this effect is only visible from close up.
The other highlight are the wings, slightly translucent and with a neat bluish effect at the base. The bigger feathers are made from a soft, rubber like material and can be bent.
I found the following issues (only minor ones):
- A small coloring issue on the head (a spot in her hair is a bit brighter)

A cute Nendoroid that combines the more often seen school uniform with the titular bunny ears. Quality-wise there are no issues to report, even the smaller details (on the clothes or hair accessories) were carefully painted. Not too many optional parts or poses, but the bunny ears work with multiple poses and the poses/parts fit Mai, so all in all a great Nendoroid.

Another good Pop Up Parade figure and looks like Miku looks good in everything. The racing gear is glossy in parts and has some details (wrinkles and the logos) added to it. Smaller parts (like the tools or bags) are well painted.
Like always, this product line achieves a great look given the low price, but compared to a $100+ figure the differences are quite obvious (in quality and level of details), so you get what you paid for.
Minus one star because of some quality issues:
- The headset has some little black strokes on it
- Two small black dots on the clothes (in the white front part)
- A red dot in the white part of a boot (when viewed from behind)
The coloring is overall great, some details like creases were added and the pose looks neat.
You can still see and feel the difference in quality and the absence of individual touches compared to pricier figures.
Still amazing what GoodSmile can do on a tight budget, the second Popup Parade figure did not dissapoint me at all.
Mine had some smaller paintwork issues:
- A little bit white in the pink part of her boots (near the left leg)
- Some small parts with a bit imprecise paintwork, but all in all not too noticeable
- Also a bit black color on the shorts only visible from below
A great Steph figure and in a very Steph like pose, too.
The highlights for this figure are:
- All the little details like wrinkles and ribbons
- The great paintwork with the shading and gradients
As always, the included Chibis (Chlammy and Fi this time) are a cool addition and Chlammy looks totally savage - great!
Minus one star because there's a bit of space between the hair on the left side and the head, seems a bit different than in the product images.
Review of the August 2019 version:
Jibril looks great on the series typical chessboard baseplate. Like always in Phat's NGNL production line she is accompanied by a cute looking chibi figure (Shiro!).
Add to that the books that can be arranged how you want and the option to change face-plates, halos and the book in her hand with a skull you get a great "Jibril package". Add to that those great wings and the typical vibrant hair.
The paintwork/quality was mostly good (see below for more), from the color gradation in her hair down to the finer details like the patterns on her clothes or tattoes.

Positive:
- Well painted and most of the small details like buttons are also well painted. Especially the feathers have some cool coloring/shading/gradients added to them. They also added some cool pinkish effects to the clothes via paintbrush
- The pose looks great and matches the Klangfest theme (like she stands on stage)
Noteworthy:
- Quite small (figure and box) for a 1/7 figure, seeing her the first time I was a bit mystified at first, but given her age and size it makes sense
- The glossy clothes (gloves/boots/tights)
Negative:
- A little black dot on the palm of the left hand
Positive:
- Really well painted and given the many details (e.g. the military uniform) this is quite a feat
- The expression and the eyes look great
Noteworthy:
- Obviously the additional swords for this edition. $60 for the additional swords is quite much, but it really adds a nice effect and variation to the figure
- A great depiction of Altair's often seen pose

Saitama is depicted in a cool punching pose and the body posture and the flowing cape look natural.
All in all has some nice details from a lot of wrinkles on the clothes to the shadows on the cape and of course the muscles!
Compared to the product photos it does not look that amazing, not because they turned down the details, this figure just needs a good illumination to look a lot better when displayed. And they really did a good job in those product photos as the details on the yellow bodysuit are a bit drowned out by to much light.
Quite a lot of details for the price, with all scratches etc. on the armor and a lot of grime/soot/dirt on the armor. They also went the extra mile and most of the scratches are "real" scratches and not only painted.
I found some small production issues on the legs, but not to noticeable.
A bit sad to see that most whole effort went into the armor or in general on the upper body, but the trousers, especially from behind, feel a bit low on detail. This is also the case for the hands.
For a Pup Up Parade figure that's still totally ok and the front is obviously more interesting than the backside view, but it's still worth mentioning.

This Nendoroid delivers the full Integrity Knight package of Alice.
All three available expressions are fitting and go well with the character and the available poses.
For more action oriented poses there are the weapon release special effects (with some visible petals mixed in) and the unsheathed sword. The poses can also be enhanced by the somewhat flexible hair part and the eyepatch adds a nice variation.
A great Nendoroid doing a perfect job depicting the Knight Alice, with great poses and great expressions a clear 5/5.
Negative:
- A little black dot on the shouting faceplate
- Some minor coloring inaccuracies on the armor
Contains a great selection of artwork for S1 (can't really say if it contains all like the name implies), mostly fullpagers consisting of official artwork and ending cards. It was fun to "read" and recognize the artwork or to find one that was new to me. And obviously seeing something in print vs. a digital version gives it just another feel, so all in all it's a nice collectible for fans.
Quality-wise there was nothing wrong, I spotted no print errors and the book was packaged carefully so it was totally undamaged.
Tamamo gets a great Nendoroid with three great looking face-plates and a wide range of available poses to set her up. Not that many accessories (mirror & charm), but the mirror looks great and instead of accessories we get a wide range of spare parts (arms & legs) for the aforementioned wide array of available poses. Tamamo just looks great in Nendoroid form :)
The paintwork and quality was also fine (minus some negligible details, see "Negative" below), so no reason not to give her a 5/5 rating.
Negative:
- Some details could have been done better (regarding the paintwork), but it's not enough to warrant a point deduction.
The Yuru Camp Nendoroids are getting better and better, Aoi comes with every accessory you could think of, like the iconic "uso yadee". Also kind of unique to this Nendoroid is the great looking Onsen setup. They did a great job in capturing the character in Nendoroid form and the overall quality is also great.
So all in all great accessories, well made and nice execution... 5/5.
Like Taki this Nendoroid is a bit atypic as it does not play a Nendoroid's strength of the many parts and poses that well, but given the price being US $ 10-15 lower than most Nendoroids it's ok.
Otherwise we get a Nendoroid with solid quality and coloring and even some nice details like wrinkles on the shirt or skirt. Like with Taki, the angry face with aho scribbled on it is a highlight of this figure, especially when paired with Taki.
Also, like Taki, Mitsuha has an additional joint in the leg part, but as this Nendoroid skillfully hides the movable leg joints under the skirt this is no big deal. Overall, considering the low price, it's a well-made Nendoroid lacking...Read more
This series' Nendoroids do not leverage a typical Nendoroid's strength of many exchangeable parts, but considering the price being US $ 10-15 lower than most Nendoroids, it's not unexpected and totally ok, you still get what you payed for.
Regarding the figure:
Given the setting the Nendoroid looks a bit bland, you get a normal school uniform look. At least the angry face with baka scribbled on it spices things up a bit. The overall quality is good, the hair's coloring looks good and this includes the coloring of some little details like the necktie, shirt or bag.

And of course the important details like the cracked glasses or cracked smartphone display were not forgotten.

With 3 face-plates and some exchangable arms and a leg, a variety of neat looking poses can be created.
Has some nice details like the ribbons (hair and dress).

Negative / Minus one star because of:
- A little nick on the hair bun
- The paintwork on the armor's edge on one face-plate was a bit lacking (some small spots were white)
- Only to mention it: No taped was used to keep the inner packaging together, no real issue as it was, as alw...Read more
Gilgamesh comes only with two face-plates and not that many changeable parts, instead he brings many items from his treasury.
The paintwork looks good, the armor has some nice details and the hair got the attention it deserved.
The Nendoroid is maybe a bit lacking in available poses, it's more like it was designed for the Gates of Babylon to look cool - and that's something this Nendoroid achieves.
I spotted no quality issues and the only negative point is regarding to the way the weapons are packaged and maybe that no tape was used to keep the upper and bottom parts of the inner packaging from coming off.
This is the first Pop Up Parade figure so let's see what to expect from Goodsmile's non-scale & cheap figures.
The figure:
First off, you can see and feel that the quality is not on par with an average figure, but given the price cheaper than even Nendoroids this was to be expected. Nonetheless, the figure still looks great, it just gives off a different vibe.
The detail level is still high and it does not feel at all like too much was sacrificed to make the figure affordable. It's more like all the nice touches that would be costly (and mostly done by hand?) were omitted.
So all in all, for a figure in such a low price category, it's great and w...Read more
Nero comes safely packaged in layers of plastic and some parts stored seperately (sword, ahoge, the hair part with the laurel crown). The figure itself has many nice details and looks great from all angles. For example, the backside is worth a look because of the open dress and cloak.
The overall paintwork (coloring and shading etc.) looks great and the translucent dress-parts are a cool feature.
Overall a solid 5/5 with some small quality issues that are luckily not that noteworthy.
Noteworthy:
- Does stand on its own as the cloak is not only massive (in size and weight), but it does a great job in stabilizing the figure as well.
- The box looks great and the front ...Read more
Many figures trying to show of a fair bit of skin feel forced or a bit unfitting (in my opinion at least), but Kurumi's mature appeal and characterization makes this easily possible and Alphamax manages to pull it off with this 1/7 scale figure. The pose looks a bit unusual but it still works.
From the product pictures you can get a good idea what to expect (should be obvious), and in my case this was the case:
- The lingerie is quite detailed and even the small parts (ribbons, buttons, ...) are well made
- Parts of the negligé are a bit see-through
- Stockings and her two weapons have some neat looking shading
- The face looks great, especially the eyes. The...Read more
This Nendoroid captures Ereshkigal quite well and comes with good looking face-plates and poses.
Positive:
- Some really nice detailes on her clothing
- A good amount of great and fitting accessories
- A lot of possible poses available
- The two flexible hair parts
Minus one star because of:
- A little gray streak on her hair (front)
- A little black spot on her hair (backside)
- One arm part was a bit grayish near the thumb
This Nendoroid version of Saber (Altria) looks like always except for the crown and cape included in this version.
Positive:
- The stoic and shouting expressions look great
- Two versions of Excalibur and it's scabbard.
- Can be set up with or without the cape/crown, so you can even create some "stay night" or "Zero" feel.
- The armor has some nice details
Minus one star because of the following little quality issues:
- The capes white edges were a bit dirty here and there, looked like some gray/black discolorations
- Two small black dots on the happy face-plate
- Had some black residue (glue?) on her hair that could luc...Read more
This Nendoroid comes with everything required to set up this character in some nice poses. It does not include that many accessories, but regarding the price being on the lower side, that's no problem at all. And the accessories included are mostly what you would expect, only Chomuske is missing ;(
Overall this Nendoroid depicts Megumin quite well, making some of her well-known poses possible to reconstruct. Noteworthy for a Nendoroid is the "face to the floor" pose, as expected of Megumin.
Minus one star because of a small coloring issue on the cape (a small but clearly noticeable yellow dot) and two small black dots on a face-plate.
Be prepared for a Nendoroid that can take up quite a bit of space to set up.
The second Yuru Camp aka Laid-Back Camp Nendoroid and the first one with an alternative DX version comes with many little gimmicks to use.
Especially the "speech bubbles" are a nice gag/feature from the series that work well even in Nendoroid format, and the DX version includes a bunch of "talkative" items.
This Nendoroid comes with most of the missing equipment for creating a cozy camp scene with her friends as well as solo (like she prefers). Works well with Nadeshiko and should be even better with Aoi.
Not much negative to mention besides some small negligible colorin...Read more
Noteworthy:
- length/width/height of the box: 47/28/30 cm ... 18.5/11/11.8 inches
- The stand for the flag was changes from one stand attached to the base plate to two stands with their own little translucent base-plates. The old version is even used for the product box.
Positive:
- Many well colored details (especially the gradients and shadows on the purple cloth parts of her armor look great)
- The face looks really great, especially the eyes
- A great looking and unique base plate
- The pose together with the massive flag is a real eye-catcher
- A great box with a nice design that feels quite sturdy
Negative:
- Many little quality/colorin...Read more
Nitocris in Nendoroid form looks great, I was a bit baffled at first because of the completely smooth and uniform hair as she is not visible from behind in the product photos, but it works really well.
The contrast of golden accessories and the hair looks nice.
All face plates look great and go well with the available poses.
Noteworthy:
- Includes two printed parts (Anubis visible in the product photos and a swarm of locusts etc.)
Negative:
Nothing to mention.
The unique hairstyle and tan make this a not so often seen design for Hatsune Miku - worth a look.
Paired with futuristic looking clothes and the wings it's a refreshing combination.
Has great looking face plates and poses (and even has a unique stand for this Nendoroid).
Noteworthy:
- Really nice looking hair
- The wings with it's translucent "feather" parts
Negative:
- 3 little black dots on one faceplate (not really visible from a distance)
- A bit of red color on one of the blue orbs in her wings (luckily on the backside)
A really neat looking Kon comes with an additional Ichigo - sounds like a nice catch ;)
Ichigo's design is based on the first Arc and works very well. It's been quite a while but you definitely remember some of the poses/expressions.
The Nendoroid is standard fare for GoodSmile, the only redeeming feature being the spikey orange hair with it's good looking gradients and shading.
Negative:
- Not that much versatility regarding available poses (but maybe still ok for the price).
- The cloth wrapped around the sword's hilt has some coloring issues (color bleeding)
A solid Nendoroid that can be displayed in many poses thanks to some thoughtful accessories, flexible joints (legs) and additional parts. And obviously the face plates to match them are included as well :)
Positive:
- The face plates, Ai works really well in chibi form
- The hair with some slight shading and the pink wisps looks good
Negative:
A little gray dot on her smug face plate, not that tragic, but still something
A good Nendoroid that includes all the little details (the many ribbons, the pointy ears, the fingers/claws, you name it).
Has a select assortment of accessories and face plates that can be used to display her in some nice looking poses, the tail always a striking and refreshing feature.
Positive:
- Really like her adjustable hair
- The tail works well in Nendoroid form
- Flexible leg joints
Negative:
- Assembly can be a bit tricky until satisfactory
A solid Nendoroid that works quite well with Llen's pink color palette, a non-deformed scale figure would have been a bit to much for me^^".
The Nendoroid is very flexible and highly adjustable allowing many dynamic looking poses.
The brown hair with it's shading gives of a nice contrast to the mostly uniform pink clothes.
Positive:
Many fitting accessories, especially for a Nendoroid in the lower price segment.
Negative:
A bit sad is, that from Llen's Nendoroid, the characters trademark of being small is not visible, but that's just in comparison to other Nendoroids... and obviously true for other Nendoroids as well.
As in most cases a solid quality/paintwork done by GoodSmile without any negative points in this regard.
The highlights of this Nendoroid are without question the face plates, all fitting the character working well depending on the displayed pose you choose for her.
Positive:
The ahoge looks even better in her Nendoroid form ;)
Negative:
Some additional accessories would have been nice (and definitely possible), but maybe that would have been a bit to much to ask for this price.
A solid Nendoroid with the usual (high) quality of GoodSmile.
Not that many accessories, which is understandable as Ichigo had few outstanding items that could be linked to her, as she was more provocative in her actions.
Like Zero Two, Ichigo has her formal clothes included, and they look great on her.
The face plates are ok, only her crying expression has some real impact.
But if you look a bit deeper the smiling expression (especially together with her holding her arm) looks quite hurt, which makes sense story-wise.
And together with Zero Two the pose with her neutral expression and "hands in pockets" is even better, as it matches Zero Two's posture with...Read more
A well-done figure of Tohka depicting her in a solemn pose including her sword Sandalphon, standing at attention while the wind gently lifts up her hair.
The highly detailed and mostly well painted armor is definitely the key feature of this figure.
Noteworthy:
- As this is not visible in the product photos: There is a little notch where the point of the sword rests.
- The underskirt is a bit translucent so the outline of the legs is visible through it (not that much, so it is a bit hard to see on the product photos)
Negative:
- Packaging feels a bit cheap compared to other figures in this prize segment
Minus stars:
- Minus one star because of s...Read more
This figure of Aqua has a kind of unique way of positioning as she sits on the base plate (quite obvious from the product photos).
The base plate in this case is in a totally Aqua-like manor a folding fan (made of water?) and splashing water.
Still, a more realistic looking folding fan (like the one she always uses) instead of the fan made of water would have been even better.
The paintwork is well done with some nice vibrant colors for the clothes and shading/gradients.
Noteworthy:
- Not visible in the product photos is a little pin (in a transparent light-blue color) stabilizing Aqua sitting in her water splash, holding her back/hair.
- Together with the accomp...Read more
A nice figure with nothing negative to note regarding quality or paintwork. Has some nice little details and shading for the many frills etc. .
The figure captures Kurumi in a nice pose that gives of an impression of movement (maybe the wind lifts up the skirt a bit and flows through the hair or the scene captures her directly after turning to aim at her target or ...)
Noteworthy:
- The second face-plate without the eyepatch is definitely a nice gimmick as we get so see Kurumis "eyecatch" in full (if you want to).
- The figure feels older than her depiction in the third season (in my opinion)
Negative:
The packaging feels a bit cheap, but is still...Read more
First some differences in comparison to the product pictures:
The base plate is dark red/maroon/ something in that direction instead of white. Thats (in my opinion) a neat change as we have a third major color aside from the mostly black and white color palette. It also fits the image as a whole.
Also comes with two additional holders (transparent plastic) to hold the wings up, so that they do not touch the ground/base plate. That is definitely a downgrade, but my be necessary as it looks better having the wings hovering in the air instead of touching the ground.
Positive:
The facial expression is beautiful and the figure is overall very detailed, with some nice shading/...Read more
A great figure of everyone's beloved explosion maniac.
Important to note are two improvements compared to the product photos:
1) The pin connecting the base plate and the hat looks like metal in the product photos, but is now made from a translucent plastic. Definitely an improvement as it is now less noticeable.
2) The base plate has an explosion like spell circle printed on it. Looks great and definitely better than the "nothing" as seen in the product photos.
The figure is really well made and painted, even the small details were painted carefully.
Facial expression and pose look good and matching.
The figure can stand without the pin conn...Read more
(Review for the 2019 Re-run)
A great figure without paintjob fails or other damages like nicks - at least I found none -, thats quite a rarity (or I am just cursed). The posture looks great and fits the Saber image. The flowing motion of the scarf and coat adds a nice display of motion to the scene. Not that much details, but for this price ok and has some nice touches like flushed skin, and some touches of light/shadow.
Neutral:
The pink paintwork on the right foot's toes is maybe a tad to garish, a bit to much for what I think should be flushed skin.
Negative:
The two holes for the connectors under the figures shoes were maybe a tick to small/tight. ...Read more
At first you are greatet by a really neat box, definitely a great design. A little door before the display window - wow.
The quality of the figure and the paintwork are mostly superb (see "Negative" below). Especially the hair, armor and shield look awesome and even the little details are carefully painted. The darker theme (armor, facial expression) adds a nice gravitas to the figure. Comes with 2 sets of skirts and arms for two diferent ascension forms, so all in all the price is totally ok.
Neutral:
- Assembly was tricky, there was not much leeway. The shield was often in the way of the arms, maybe adding the shield after Mash would have been easier...
- Sme...Read more
A great and well painted Nendoroid (especially the detailed armor) that looks especially great together with the "Non-Alter" Version of Jeanne.
Has a matching assortment of face-plates and accessories.
Not that many accessories compared to some other FGO Nendoroids but totally ok for this price.
Compared to most Nendoroids this one has quite flexible arms/legs to create some neat and dynamic looking poses.
Neutral:
- Changing the hand-parts was a bit tricky
Negative:
- The flag is to heavy for some poses (the flag tilts) as the grip on the shaft is to loose on some parts of the shaft
- The sword is a bit loose when held in hand
- One li...Read more
Rem wearing a beatiful kimono in a great pose is definitily worth a look.
For a 1/8 figure it does not feel smaller than a 1/7 figure (like Goodsmile's Rem).
The figure has many details and ornaments and is carefully colored (mind some little coloring issues that are luckily not visible from afar in my case, see "Negative" below for details).
What really surprised me was the figure's weight, the kimono is quite heavy. Due to the weight the figure stands firm even on one foot. And as the figure is positioned in the middle of the circular baseplate it comes with a nice little (and unexpected) feature: You can rotate the baseplate easily with one finger and get a...Read more
Now thats a figure of Nanachi with "soul" (all 3 face-plates look great!), it has a mostly well done paint work and a very high detail-level, especially the helmet looks great.
Without the helmet it feels a bit underwhelming, but thats a matter of taste.
On a plus side Nanachi can stand on her own (if you use the tail for balance), at least without wearing the helmet.
I wouldn' recommend this while wearing the helmet as it is quite weighty and feels a bit to much for the tail to hold. And the helmet is so massive that you won't see much of the stand.
Not much on the accessory side, Mitty as a must-have accessory looks great though :)
Negative:...Read more
Not really a collector of plushies but I luckily came across this plushie when it was added to the store, and it was just to adorable to ignore, especially for an acceptable price.
The plushie looks like Nanachi (obviously ;) ) and the product photos.
It was a bit smaller than I expected, but the height was as advertised. It only feels smaller because the ears make up about 9cm/3.5" of the whole plushie.
Quality-wise only a little minus (a little seam on the left foot).
A nice selection of material, mostly soft except the felt parts used on the helmet.
The tail can be used to balance the plushie when it stands, but I can't seem to get Nanachi to stand ...Read more
(Review for the December 2018 rerun)
A well done depiction of Sinon, especially the face/eyes look great.
The pose fits the cold and cool image of the character.
The color palette fits the militaristic theme.
Overall a very detailed and well done paint work, minus 1 star for some light blue color on the scarf and some black on the right hand.
5/5, no questions asked.
The Nendoroid comes with most of the iconic items that come to mind (a lollipop, a steak drenched in honey her formal wear, ... even a spare tongue is included°°).
The faceplates are really fitting and look great, but the only one you'll want is that irresistible smile :)
The included arms and movable leg parts can create a number of great poses.
Lastly, the paintwork is great and with the exception of one little black dot in her hair I found nothing negative to note.
The figure:
Zero Two looks stunning in her pilot suit and the glossy finish is a good match for it.
This also creates a nice offset compared to the hair.
The flowing hair together with her right hand combing/holding it creates a nice and dynamic scene.
The face and especially the eyes are matching the character.
The quality:
Besides one spot of white color where it should have been red (but still at an acceptable level) I found no defects.
The overall quality is high, the coloring well done. Only one spot in the white stripes of the suit looked a bit subpar, it looks a bit like two parts were glued together leading to a visible seam.
Packaging:
C...Read more
The scale-figure:
In one word: Awesome.
The scale-figure has a great pose, a totally Shiro-esque expression topped off with amazing paintwork.
A great color palette, the vibrant colors are a perfect fit for the series and have quite an impact.
Overall very detailed and carefully painted, I found no problem at all with the paintwork.
The cards attached to her hair give the figure an overall look of depth, a really neat effect.
The base:
A chessboard theme, what else ;) - it matches the figure/series.
The additional chess pieces and cards enhance the - in comparison - more bland base a lot creating a great addition to the figure.
The base and connection...Read more
A solid and adorable Nendoroid that captures the character really well.
The expressions are just perfect.
The paintwork is solid with some small issues / details that could be better done.
For a Nendoroid not manufactured by GoodSmile it totally looks & feels like a Nendoroid.
Includes many fitting optional parts and some nice level of detail (e.g. she wears no shoes when sitting), so the price is also totally ok.
Would have been a solid 5/5 if not for the small paint issues and a very shaky bent left arm (for holding the bowl when sitting etc.) that comes of quite easily (looks like the plug/joint is a bit to small in comparison with the other arms. So all in al...Read more
This Nendoroid is quite the eye-catcher thanks to the vibrant red and blue coloring.
Has some nice postures accentuated by fitting expressions and/or optional parts.
The paintwork is overall well done (minus some small details not visible from a distance).
The hair looks a bit subdued at first but looks great and has a well done and realistic shading.
Small negative point: The sword-sheath part is a bit shaky and comes of quite easily on touch.
First, as this is not mentioned here: The chessboard hat a diameter of about 11" / 28cm.
A massive Scale-Figure despite the sitting posture.
Jibril looks great with her savage expression + scythe + the red/black wings.
The hair is a real eye-catcher and well painted (minus one spot in the yellow part that did not get much color, luckily not visible from a distance).
All in all the quality is good for such a pricey figure. I spotted only two paint issues (the aforementioned one on the hair and an uncolored spot on the bottom of the right boot (not visible except you lift the figure up).
The mandatory chibi figure for this series looks good as always and is a...Read more
This Nendoroid includes to many parts to count :O
With so many additional/optional parts, face-plates and possible postures this Nendoroid more as justifies it's high price (for a Nendoroid).
The paintwork is overall well done (minus 1-2 small details maybe).
Can be displayed in way to many great poses, all looking really nice.
Negative: The sitting posture is quite hard to get right as the bow is a bit unsteady.
This Nendoroid displays Shiro perfectly.
All facial expressions are fitting the character and looking superb.
The paintwork is well done and especially the hair looks great.
Not many accessories but totally ok for the price.
What sets this Nendoroid aside from many Nendoroids is the sitting position that looks really nice and refreshing.
This figure looks quite massive due to the hair (compared to Phat!'s Shiro scale-figure for example).
The paintwork (including the shadows) is overall well done and looks fantastic, especially the hair.
The "mecha" parts (including the gun-hand/arm) are nicely and vibrantly/chrome colored and a great addition to this more human-like Schwi depiction.
But the greatest feature may be the flexible plastic used for the "artificial nerve cords" as they can (and must) be bent by yourself to match the official photos or to create your own take on them.
The checkboard base is a nice match and it looks like it's a recolored version of Shiro's base....Read more
Great quality as always.
This Nendoroid is a perfectly executed Astolfo figure.
All faces are really fitting and usable in many poses.
Included are almost all accessories you could expect of Astolfo.
Ergo: 5/5 for this great Nendoroid.
Another great Fate Nendoroid.
Really nice paintwork for the armor and hair.
Not that many accessories, but ok for the price. And if you count the helmet it's more than enough, but in my opinion the hair looks to good to be hidden :)
One small shortcoming: The leg-armor parts are a bit tricky to assemble and come off easy when adjusting the legs.
Now this is a somewhat nostalgic Nendoroid, Clannad, it's been a while...
This Nendoroid is more on the plain side, but it's what to be expected in this case.
The quality is solid and especially the hair looks awesome thanks to the color gradation.
The facial plates and accessories all match the character, nothing negative comes to mind. And that dango... ;)
Overall a nice memento if you know the series and well worth the money.
This Ram figure has a solid level of quality and depicts the character quite nicely. The facial expression is fitting as well as the posture, both feel "in character".
Like her sister's tie-in figure the use of light and shadows seems realistic and adds to the overall high level of details.
The possibility to link both figures is a nice-to-have, but you have to note that the figure definitely feels farther in the back, compared to the product photo, in my opinion.
Overall worth the money and a solid 5/5 displayed with the matching Rem figure (maybe a 4/5 displayed alone...)
Haruna is one of the more expensivve Nendoroids, but looking at all the gimmicks it's totally worth it (for fans at least).
- All three face plates are nicely selected.
- Comes with two! outfits that are detailed and overall well done
- The poses are really thought-through and it's hard to select one
- Contains connectors to stand with or without the ship parts
- Hidden feature : Two parts of her hair on the backside can be adjusted a bit
The ship parts are a highlight of this Nendoroid, for me it was the first Nendoroid with such complexity.
The turrets are versatile, the parts are connected via a number of joints giving the ship parts a high level...Read more
This Nendoroid comes with some fitting expressions and accessories matching the character.
The overall level of detail for this Nendoroid is just awesome (so many frills and ribbons).
She can also be finely adjusted, Beatrice has a good number of joints (noteworthy: the hair and hip).
The 3 face-plates all capture some iconic expressions that just feel like Beatrice.
The included accessories (books, stepladder and of cource Puck) are a nice addition and especially Puck looks great. The books could have had a little more detail but still look ok, just a bit low on details. I solved this by sitting Puck on the stack of books ;)
The paintjob is overall nicely done, but ...Read more
This Nendoroid features a more classic looking Hatsune Miku with some nice Chinese touches to her clothing.
Especially the glossy finish of the black parts on her clothes looks really nice.
Comes with a variety of spare limbs for the different poses, but not that many accessories (Still OK for the price).
The "brush" really reminds me of the legendary leek given it's color ;)
But the best part of this Nendoroid is definitely the hair, love the design & volume of her twintails and the option to adjust them as they are connected to the head via a joint.
This figure has Shiro display her cuteness in bestform.
Really nice paintjob and overall quality.
The chessboard base totally matches the character, has a nice polish and is in good contrast to the figures.
Add in those glorious Chibi figures and you get an overall package well worth the money.
Only miniscule negative point: The original packaging was a bit bent in one place.
This Nendoroid is not on the flashy side - owing to it's thematic background.
Thus I'd recommend it only for fans of the series.
Fans can expect some really nice facial expressions and poses totally fitting this little crazy sociopath ;)
This Nendoroid has so many poses that look really great it's hard to choose one.
The armor and many little details are just what you'd expect from Good Smile, high quality as always.
The only negative point is that my figure has a little silver spot on the belt that's not supposed to be there (in comparison with the pictures).
+ High level of details, nice paint job, nice ice effects
+ Really like the pose, sitting on a pillar of ice just fits Emilia
- Face could be done better, looks a bit plain(?), especially the mouth
- The hair really could have used a bit more details and/or a better color gradient
+ Carefully packaged and shipped (by Good Smile and by TOM of course!)
+ High level of details, outstanding paint job, "high quality feel"
+ Shadows, folds, ribbons, etc. totally add to the dynamic image of the "maid posture"
+ The "demon posture" is a really nice addition to be included, especially when considering the price
+ Facial expressions are just perfect
+ Good quality, ok level of details
+ Totally matching and hilarious facial expressions
+ Poses match the character very well
+ Nice accessories ;) - (> <) & (o o)
KonoSuba 2 in product name / as series is a bit misleading, for my part I'd say the poses are taken from the first season, not the second (Anime-wise).
+ Good quality and great level of details (hair, hair accessories, maid clothes...)
+ All facial expressions match the character well, especially the "deadpan expression" fits Ram just perfect
+ A good/matching assortment of poses/accessories
+ High quality and great level of details
+ That drooling expression
+ Matching accessories
o The other facial expressions just can't compare to Jibril drooling
o Legs + Clothes + Wings were a bit tricky to assemble
Nice to have for KanColle fans or Yuudachi/Poi fans.
+ A variety of parts and available poses (higher than average price is justified)
+ Many details and adjustable parts
+ Look & Feel (Quality)
- Some parts are tricky to assemble or a bit shaky (especially when fully-equipped)
