8 Reasons to get a Figma
Reason 1: Posing ability

I know that I’ve been shamelessly promoting Nendoroids, but let me try and convince you readers about the awesomeness of Figmas, and state out 8 reasons why you should get them.

I am so addicted with figmas now. If only Max Factory made their faces nicer and more detailed. This blog wouldn’t be called “A daily slice of Nendo love”
You will know my which lucky girl will be my first figma in the coming weeks.

(P.S incase you have no idea what is happening, Yuki is doing some trademark M.J moves)

    i hv some fren giving up on figmas.. > <]]>

  2. < ![CDATA[LOL! I totally agree with your reasons for getting figmas~! I have more figmas than nendo actually... but I am still unable to get myself a Yuki figma since she's sold out everywhere ='D

    Actually GSC’s actSta series proves to be like figma only with much higher quality — sad thing is that the price is much higher too ><; you can probably buy 2-3 figma/nendo with just one actSta

    IMO, when it comes to posing ability, Kaiyodo's Fraulein Revoltech is better — their stands suck though. LOL]]>

  3. < ![CDATA[Yeah, figmas are cool!
    I already have one. A hatsine Miku one.
    But I'm kind of lazy to make all those posings.]]>

  4. < ![CDATA[I have to agree with your 8 reasons to get a figma! LOL XDD
    I have more figmas than nendo although I have yet to get myself a Yuki since she's sold out everywhere I look ='D

    About figmas having more detail though, I think it's because they're a bit on the cheap side that's why they aren't as detailed, but IMO they're pretty good for their price.

    GSC has a new line called actSta that looks awesome but the price tag is prolly worth 2-3 figmas/nendos

    and when it comes to posing abilities, I think Kaiyodo's Fraulein Revoltech line wins, but their stands suck so Figmas win over them XD]]>

  5. < ![CDATA[Totallu agree with the reasons!! =D

    I love Figma!!!^^]]>

  6. < ![CDATA[Lol, I thought you said you were never going to get a Figma or something O.o

    but I guess the posing ability will be FUN, haha

    Michael Jackson died '^' People started buying his albums after he died, and my teacher said something like people only appreciate those AFTER they have died. gah.

    Are you a fan of M.J.?]]>

  7. < ![CDATA[Get the ones that have less obvious joints, like the recent reika figma or those with plug-suit-like clothes ^^;

    on a side note, narika is delayed to next month as I expected T_T]]>

  8. < ![CDATA[T.T MJ, R.I.P

    Anyway~ I love figma, like you said, posing ability. So fun to play with them, even though i am always afraid that i might just break their limbs. =X

    Wait till i get a bigger room or buy a glass cabinet, i will release all my figma girls. =D]]>

  9. < ![CDATA[Funny you should post this, because I just took some Figma pictures last night. You also forgot that they look fantastic and you can create your own stop-motion animated movies with them. I have two Figmas of my own: Mikuru Asahina and Hatsune Miku. I'm planning on getting the San Seto and Kyon ones next.

    And is this post supposed to be some sort of MJ tribute as well? If so then that's sweet of you.]]>

  10. < ![CDATA[enter the figma world~~~~~~~~~~ Hua hua hua~~~~~ \|^_^|/]]>

  11. < ![CDATA[figma is okay... I love Lelouch, he's one of my most favourite figures, but I wasn't happy with the quality of the others, especially Kagami.]]>

  12. < ![CDATA[I'm a Figma addict, and if I could I'd buy every Figma in existence, but unfortunately for me, I've gotten into PVCs and they eat up a large portion of the bank account leaving me with less money to buy Figmas and Nendos. I think I need to calm the PVC figure buying down next year and just stick to Figma/Nendo except for special occaisions or something. I really love the poseability of Figma and I should be doing more than just reviews of them, like with my repairing Mikuru post. Yuki was my first Figma ^^]]>

  13. < ![CDATA[I've been trying to explain it in words but the pictures can explain it so much better than words. lol
    Compared to last year, I've toned back of figmas this year. It's not I'm getting tired of them, it's either, I have this character or I don't see anything special about this one.]]>

  14. < ![CDATA[Figma is nice and yes, their posing powers is top notch. I don't mind the joints at all since they aren't that bad looking at least for me. Only thing I hate about figmas is that they're a bit fragile especially the hands, one wrong move and you might snap it.]]>

  15. < ![CDATA[I like the way you make figma to do the MJ! AWO!]]>

  16. < ![CDATA[Nice!]]>

  17. < ![CDATA[One of the best things about figmas is what you've already pointed out: it's posing ability. Never forget that figmas are also good for photography. I noticed that many comrades use figmas in their photographs much like how you use your Nendos in yours. It's quite a steal, if you ask me... ^^

    Oh, and R.I.P. to MJ for his passing. Looking back at Yuki's poses which are similar to MJ, it really evokes memories of him and his glory years.]]>

  18. < ![CDATA[I hate the joints too, but getting my hands playing with one makes me forget my hatred for them ^^]]>

  19. < ![CDATA[I love them because of the their excellent posability! Can't wait to officially own one and discover it's potential!]]>

  20. < ![CDATA[Yeah, actsta looks good, can't wait to see what characters they release!]]>

  21. < ![CDATA[I guess I have to eat my words.

    The above Figma, Figma Yuki does not belong to me, but a fellow comrade. I bunked at his place yesterday and he was watching M.J videos so I decided to make Yuki to dance with the videos; hence the idea of making a post like this ^^

    But, no, I am not an M.J fan, though I really digg his slick moves!]]>

  22. < ![CDATA[There`s nothing wrong with the joints. So far I got nothing to complain about my figma Haruhi.]]>

  23. < ![CDATA[You know you actually love Nendoroids more ^^]]>

  24. < ![CDATA[DELAY?!! Time to kill self]]>

  25. < ![CDATA[“..release all my figma girls…”

    Someone has been reading too much Bleach. You make it sound like your bankai ^^]]>

  26. < ![CDATA["Bankai, figma girl"? Haha.
    Most of my figma are still in their respective boxes. So i really hope i can "release" them soon. =D]]>

  27. < ![CDATA[I guess I am becoming much like you. Started with Figures and acquired tastes evolved into Nendos >_<!]]>

  28. < ![CDATA[Yeah, some figmas seem to be bugged by dodgy quality issues. I wanted to 009 Yagami Hayate Figma, but the quality of the face was a turn off ):]]>

  29. < ![CDATA[Lelouch is love~ it's frustrating that Suzaku is only limited ed ><;

    IMO ultimate figma as of now is the Limited Edition Saber Lily figma that's bundled with Fate/Unlimited codes. ;o;

    then again most Limited ed figmas look very nice TAT;]]>

  30. < ![CDATA[T______T

    I wish I could stop myself, but I know resistance is futile !]]>

  31. < ![CDATA[I am not particularly an MJ fan, but I digg his awesome dance moves!

    Probably the greatest dancer of our time!]]>
