I just love her chains that comes together with the sword, it makes such a cool accessory (and maybe some kinky action?) ^^

The good folks at MaxFactory also threw in a sneak preview shot of Yomi Isayama as well:

Figma Drossel broken joints (12)

Wha?? already?

Two days have passed since I got delivered my new Drossel Figma and guess what? Her shoulder joints break. I was even planning a proper figure photoshoot with her. :(

This isnt coincidence, and dont come with me saying what were you doing with her, because I only tried to pose her differently and without to much force her right shoulder joint totally broke.

What? this cant be. Drossel is my sixth figma and the first one for me with broken joints. I have intact my other figmas and they havent broke yet. So Im thinking this Drossel Figure didnt surpassed standard quality tests or its a fake Drossel, which I doubt because I got her in HLJ and I dont think they sell this kind of stuff.

I accept my figmas will eventually broke but not at the second day as my Drossel, especially when Im very carefully with them.


Searching in the cloud I found that basically Drossel joints are bad designed http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8452/drossel.jpg and this leads for broken arms. After the quick photoshoot I didnt realize that when I did the first pose on Drossel (http://www.flickr.com/photos/phossil/4150632394/ her left arm joint was about to fall off and in the first movement.



The final result? both arms are down. Im thinking in contacting at goodsmile company support mostly for feedback, but I guess they already know this known error, so maybe they can bear with me and give me a solution.

Ways to fixing Drossel (or other figma broken joints):
I found in here, suggestions to buy a replacement joint. http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-T13 Trying probably to drill into her arm/shoulder to reattach the arms.

Another suggestion is to try to glue the joints, but the joint surface is very small to get a good fixation and movility later.

More pics of another Drossel owner who had the same problem in here.
And another defective Drossel Owner requesting help to remove the inner ball joints in here.
I also found about how to fix Figma Drossel's Stiff Shoulders

Im really sad but mostly desapointed with my Drossel Figma. I will try to fix her, but Im not good at handicraft work. Anyone who has some comments for fixing figmas?
I cant believe this kind of things could happen when just openned the box.

figma Subaru Nakajima: Barrier Jacket Ver. by Max Factory

10105715a

The latest figma for the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS series is Nakajima Subaru.

No doubt many would recall that a similar figurine in the form of actSta was released previously, but for us poor penniless souls, figma is more than enough. :3

That is not to say that the figma iteration is shabby of course.

10105715a2

She looks every bit as good as her larger counterpart and I’m certainly liking the sculpt of her device.

10105715a3

The wings and the add-ons to her device (as well as the ability to dual-wield) should make this a very tempting purchase for Nanoha fans.

figma Fate Testarossa by Max Factory

10103853a

Something for you Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha fans (AND lolicons) out there.

Fate Testarossa in all her school uniform loli goodness.

10103853a3

Certainly something you should consider getting if you are collecting the figma series of the MSLN series.

I guess I fall into that category as well =P

You can check out my older reviews of the other MSLN characters: Yagami Hayate, Shamal, Signum

Arf gets a rare appearance as an accessory it seems.

I find it kinda sad that both Arf and Zafira have taken back seat (or no seat) in StrikerS and in the figurine department.

I would love a full Zafira figma to complete the Belkan Knights.

10103853b

It’s a bit of a pity that Nanoha here is limited release with the PSP game “Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s Portable -The Battle of Aces”

I’m a full collection kinda guy so not being able to get them both is a bit of a put off. =/

But they certainly look good together ( ^_^ )b

Aegis Figma Review

Disclaimer: =__= From the thumbnails in my photobucket it looks sightly like a naughty catalog... I DIDN'T INTEND IT ><


Aegis from Persona 3 is not only the character of choice for her valuable amount of HP and ATK, but also because there's something damn hot about girl robots. She fires bullets out of her hands, and looks funny in school uniform. This is how she usually looks like for most of the game, supposedly naked, cause she's a robot specially designed to kill.



First off, I like to say SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. From the choice of hands available, face plates and the model itself, she is a very beautiful replica. I have absolutely fallen in love with her. And it just gets better.



She's plain because of her design, but if you know her, she indeed can strike poses, that you would see throughout this review *swoon*.



Her pissed off face is neat, what completes it are removable ammo drums that attach to the component wrist.



And there's a fist attachment, because it was in the game.



Over time however (in the time it took to take all the pictures) the hand joints does get a little loose, a little varnish to keep things stiff.



What made me love her is the detailing she got. From her arm 'pads', leg 'pads' and fingers, she's beautifully painted with silver and gold, and her fringe extrudes enough to actually make her look meek in certain angles.



What really sealed the love deal however, is how flexible she is. Though possibly because she lack long hair, her joints are nicely spaced so she can do something like above.



Her flexibility however is still limited compared to Revoltechs. But in any case, she has the right amount of twist potential, and her hands themselves are feminine and graceful to make her look awesome.



She also has a smiley face. This makes me very happy.



Her smiley face has a hint of lipstick, though I found it kinda hard to pose her with the face cause robots don't smile too often.



Flexible. She. Is. Hot damn.



She's kinda a true example of what figma figurines can do, though her head can't look up, I can't think of any other complaint about her. She's just damn good, I love everything about her other than the loose joint problem.

10/10
