Max Factory Figma Series 001 & 006 Nagato Yuki & Asahina Mikuru (Christmas ver)






First figures for 2009. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to those few who read my blog.

Price for both: $90
Bought at: China Square Central

Aside from being my first figures for 2009, these are also my first Figmas.
I'll try not to compare with Fraulein figs so much.

First Impression: "Oh hey, look, Haruhi series figures. Okay, let's go. WAIT. How much for these?" I felt compelled by these figures to buy them. The only reason I didn't get Haruhi was there wasn't any stock of her left at the store where I bought these two.

Poseability: Oh man, it's hard not to compare to Revoltech's Fraulein line. Revolver Joints are NOTHING compared to Figma joints. They move so SMOOTHLY, you won't even hear clicks or feel bumps unlike Revolver Joints.

Appearance: Both figures have a more-than-decent paint job, no blemishes, bumps or faults of the sort.

Gimmicks: The figures come with the Christmas additions for Figmas, a set of hands, a pair of school shoes, a stand and extra faces. Mikuru's set isn't very special, just the bare minimum I said earlier, however, Yuki's has a bit more to it. For one, it includes a folding chair, two books (one open and one closed) and an extra hair piece with glasses included.

And here ends my first Figma review, as well as first figure review for 2009. Maybe I should rename myself to FIGMAFAG, as I think I'm going to be addicted to Figmas now... Ha.
