I
honestly don't have much confidence in Max Factory to finish the strike
witches series. As far as I know there have been no news on any figma
after Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen, and If you look at how quickly they rush
out full sets of more popular series and compare to how long they're
taking with these and consider the fact that most of the remaining
characters aren't really 'that' popular, if they do continue with the
series, it'll be years until they produce the main characters. Besides,
they seem to be shifting focus to videogame and western/3DPD characters.
They already dropped the touhou series from the looks of it oddly
enough.
Bandai on the other hand has made it very clear they intend on doing the full set.
Not really sure why there are two swords, but whatever. The smaller one can be inserted into the included sheath.
instead
of a extra full lower torso like the figma have she has just the
thighs, which works fine I think, on the flip side she has a full head
for the ears.
That's right, she has two left arms...
Don't know how they pulled this one off... It's kinda funny in a way...
I messaged amiami about it a few times, they said they'd send me a replacement part. I'll update this post if/when that happens.
anyways...
arm aside, it's a pretty decent fig, I don't think it's really worth
the 4,000 jpy price tag, but it's not bad. I'd say the quality is only a
tad bit lower than a typical figma. I've heard some bad things from
other people with the same figure, many report that her sword brakes
easily, though thankfully I haven't had that problem myself yet.
The
Miyafuji Yoshika Figma comes with the same gun, and I think this one
looks a fair bit nicer. The wrists have their own tiny little joints,
they can be a little hard to work with when replacing hands.
It's a bit of a shame she didn't come with her trademark laugh face.
Gotta
say, I really love the stand she comes with. It's sturdy and there's no
struggling to get the peg into her hole like with some figma. and
doesn't feel as fragile ether. the lenth is also pretty nice, one of the
things I really don't like about the strike witches figma is the length
of the poles on the stands, they use the same size default for every
figure but I think they're too short for strike witches.
I can really see why this same type of stand is sold as a stand alone.
I'll probably take more pics after fixing the arm problem.
The Figma gun is the one on the bottom, AGP on the top. I think I like the AGP more.
Haven't been posting much lately becuase I've been too busy, though I do have plenty to still post about.
