Otaku’s Hideout

Next in the figma line is Suzumiya Haruhi in school uniform. Different with the Saber figma, this one doesn’t really get my vote. Just look at her knees! It just doesn’t look very appealing.

Her face sculpt is pretty much like the full scale figure. Really good. And she comes with three different heads. Talk about changing heads on different occasions! A stand is used to stand her up on difficult poses. She is slated to be released at 2381 yen in April. Too good to be true. XP

Max Factory has joined the posable action figures genre, through their figma line! Meet Saber, the ever-so-popular servant from Fate/Stay Night.

I have always hated action figures due to their very ugly and visible joints. This figma Saber, however, in my opinion doesn’t have much of this problem. Mainly because of her armor covering her body. Her face sculpt is very nice (3 of them!), unlike the one from Revoltech where it is obvious that many of their figures share the same head but with different hair. Even her swords are very nicely done.

As with Revoltech action figures, the Figma line is very affordable, at around 2667yen retail price. (~RM80)! Should be one to look out for..
