Figmas, First Impressions

Today there were a lot of gaps between my lessons so I decided to drop by comrade Maverick‘s place and play with his Figmas, since I never really explored the world of Figmas.

Comrade maverick has a school clothes Yuki and Kyon. Just as I thought, I think ball joints are damm ugly.

Figma action

Figmas are extremely pose able compared to Nendos. Their face change mode is exactly the same as Nendoroids, remove the hair and swap the faces.

Anyway bear with the noob talking about Figmas, I am a beginner in the world of anime figurine and I have much to learn. Anyway to cut the story short, Figmas are still ugly to me, but they can so pose-able that you can create scenes like this if you have some creative imagination ^^

Figma action

Figma action

“Kyon-kun… be gentle”

This is so wrong lol!
my mind is warped ^^

Figma action

“Let me feel you manly chest!”

Fun? definitely! They also are more rugged than Nendoroids so you can feel safe taking them out and exposing them to the harsh environment. However, if you are a sucker for cuteness, Nendoroids will just melt you away with their cuteness. But if posing is the name of the game, figmas is the win.

But then if you are rich, just make an army of Nendoroids and Figmas if you can’t decide which to collect.

Won’t be seeing a Figma in my display cabinet or desk anytime soon!

So are you a Figma or a Nendo person?

    < ![CDATA[I have a few figmas but I only opened 2, Saber and Rin. They're kinda fragile if you're not careful but their pose-ability is top notch.]]>

    < ![CDATA[Ooo, any reason to keep them boxed? Isn't it not doing justice to their posing powers by keeping them in the box ^^?]]>

    < ![CDATA[The ones I'm not opening are Hatsune Miku and Nagato Yuki Bad Witch ver. and since they're kinda hard to find I wanted to keep them in their boxes so they won't get damaged. Also I'm getting the normal version of Yuki, that one I'm gonna play with.]]>
