figma #EX 001 review – Lucky☆Star – Izumi Konata Cosplay Ver.
produced by Max Factory
MSRP: ¥2380
released: 2008/02
.
Had
this fig for like 3 years before finally getting around to unboxing it
recently. I kept it in the box all that time becuase it seemed valuable
and rare, which turned out to not really be the case at all.
A
buddy tells me that apparently they were originally going to be a 6000
unit limited release, but they got a second run. I have no clue if this
is one of the original 6000 or not.
.
Maybe
it's just me, but it doesn't seem like Kagami's image on the box
matches what she's saying at all. The text bubble says "wooohoo!!" but
she looks like she just encountered a flasher.
.
Another
interesting thing about the box here is every single spare hand she
comes with including the stand are prominently displayed on the front of
the box, where as normally those things are hidden away to make room
for more interesting items. I don't think I've seen another figma that
came with an empty hand holder.
.
Easily
the least amount of accessories among any figma out there. Comes with a
stand 6 hands and a alternate face. This is the other reason why I
never got around to unboxing her until now.
.
I
heard a lot of people were having some really bad problems with this
figure such as parts fusing together and/or braking, but lucky I didn't
have those problems. But I did notice her front hair peace feels really
cheap and doesn't stay in place very well, just like the other two figma
versions of the same character.
.
Went
and built a simple little background display thing to go with this fig
and the kagami cosplay figma. 'The big sight' seemed appropriate, it's
even on the box for the fig.
.
Doesn't
really seem like there's much to say about the figure. The quality is
on par with other figma which is good. the only thing is the lack of
accessories makes it a bit boring. Not that I can really even think of
much they could have included anyway.
.
It's worth pointing out that her faces are indeed interchangeable with the other Konata figma versions.
.
as mentioned, I think she goes well with the kagamii-miku, like two peas in a pod.
.

.
and a group shop with some other figs.
.
I
wish there was more to say about the figure but there really isn't.
It's a possible figure of Izumi Konata in Haruhi Cosplay, that's pretty
much it.
I
wouldn't say this fig is half bad. It just would have been nice if it
had a bit more going for it. as far as figma go it's very average with
nothing special going for it, hell it's basically two other figma
combined into one.
