Figma Mikuru goes on sale nationwide tomorrow but I has one for some reason ^^;
Not had much time to go to the balcony to take pics so took some quick snaps in the office which is the reason of the poor quality ^^;;;
If you thought that they just changed the heads for the SOS girls then you'd be wrong. Each girl is sculpted according to the anime specs.
Mikuru obviously has the biggest eyes.
Mmmmmm. Nice big eyes.
Very very sweet.
I do carry Haruhi around with me more though - reason being that I have a spare Haruhi and I'm scared of breaking Mikuru's two front hair strands.
Mikuru comes with 3 different face expressions but I have her on this "worried" look by default ^^;
Haruhi and her new transportation.
Mikuru gets the Gundam treatment. Can you name these Gundam parts?
Itsuki is hungry.
Mamamia! Haruhi (Mikuru?) looks so sweet with this expression.
The Haruhi sisters want Mikuru-chans eyes...
..and they each get one eye.
Kyon is on sick leave.
I think I have more Figma's but need to look in the SAFS store room ^^;
Do you own Figma's ?
Lulu is getting up to no good again. What is he using his Geass for this time?
Mikuru does Nanoha
Something for you to be creative with during your coffee break ^^;

Speaking of "break" have you Figma owners broken any of your Figma parts?
Mikuru looks quite good like this.
Hmmm. Think I need another Mikuru head ^^;

If you are looking for this figure then get her at one of these trusted dealers.
First time here?

when you posted yesterday that you would have an early review of a figure i knew it was going to be this figma! I only have the Lelouch figma and would love to have the Suzaku figma as well. Btw love the picture of Mikuru with the gundam parts with Itsuki chasing her!

i just got my figma nanoha and her front hair is easily dropped. you touch it and the hair is fall. she also has scrapped on her body, it's on the part where you can remove the barrier jacket. i want to exchange it, do GSC accept to send outside Japan?

do search for "fixing loose joints" on this site to fix the hair.
The barrier jacket ink can be easily removed with thinner.

Hey Danny, I've had Figma Nanoha for some time now, and I've been meaning to ask someone who's had significant time handling these figures......  how far does the peg on the stand go when it's inserted into the back? Only partway, or all the way? Also, I noticed that the hole in the back is hexagonal, while the peg on the stand is circular. I've had to apply a bit more pressure than I'm comfortable with to get the peg in; now it looks like the hexagonal hole is widening a bit, taking on the shape of the circular peg. Is that supposed to happen?

The peg only goes about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way in.  I think it's to give you something to grip when positioning that section of the stand. Otherwise action poses would be a pain in the ass to do, especially on Saber.  She's so much heavier than the others.

what kind of thinner?
and i have problem with the hand, it's very hard to remove and put it in again, not like my figma saber.

i made a mistake, i mean the body is scratched

Same thing with my Nanoha !  The front (standard) hair always falls off...  Not with the extra front hair.  The jacket leaves it's marks indeed.  Her clothes are also a bit too "greyish"...

Oh, hisss, it is not fair. That Mikuru is soo cute. I love those expressions. Are all figma parts interchangeable by default or do you need to 'force' it a bit. If I see your collection, I can't help but want all those figmas nao

on sale tomorrow? Are you sure? I saw a few for sale at my usual local hobby shop on monday. Couldn't afford it at the time, but i'm going back for it next week fo sho.  Is it just me, or are the figma's coming with less and less accessories?  For example, Mikuru comes with.. well nothing really.  Haruhi at least had the megaphone+armband. Nagato had her books and a entire fold out chair. But why does mikuru have nothing??! The prices of the "lower end" figmas are the same but the goodies are less and less.  Danny please give GoodSmile a piece of my mind. As for the more expensive "high end" figmas, they usually come with tons of stuff so no complaints there =p

I love figmas. So far I own only Saber and Haruhi, but I've already pre-ordered Mikuru and will pre-order the Lucky Star girls, Rin and the new Yuki figma.
I haven't broken any parts yet, though the stand for Haruhi arrived broken. But thanks to hlj.com and GSC I'm getting a replacement. :)

Boy Danny, you sure can match gundams to girls. :P  You happened to match the one with the biggest bombshells to the biggest bombshell. :P  The only other way I'd have matched her would probably be with one of the guncannon units, because...you know...they both have massive cannons... ;;;<.<

I've only got one... which is Haruhi.
If or when I get more figmas, I would love to be able to interchange parts and do something like that.
I like the scene where Itsuki is being eaten.

love the shots with the dewback. i wonder do local stores here still carry them.
anyway regarding figma mikuru going on sale nationwide tomorrow, i got mime 2 days ago. ^^;
i have figma haruhi, yuki, mikuru and saber.
apart from the not so nice looking joints, figmas are small and easy to carry around. haruhi is the easiest to carry around without mikuru's long hair, saber's dress getting in the way.

Those are the GP-02 Physalis' parts, if I'm not mistaken. A very powerful mobile suit in it's own right that would have split the world asunder if it existed in the SEED universe- oops. Forgive me; I went off topic again. :P

Haruhi looks cute with that face! Arggh!

I pre-ordered Mikuru, looks like it'll be here mid-August for me, since she supposedly releases here on the 31st, and with the processing time most online stores go through it usually takes 2 weeks or so to get them after the order goes through.  Movies get to Japan later than the states but figures get to the states later :/  She'll be my third figma, and I got the Lucky Star crew on pre-order.  Trying to find a place that hasn't sold out of Fate, and I'll get Nanoha once my funds have replenished from the last two months of spending.

I do own a few figmas though I must say that the paint work gets damaged quite easily if you play around with them too much. My Lelouch had a black line across his cheek after I moved him around abit (maybe its because it got scratched with other parts in the ziploc bag since I chunk all the spare parts in there ^^).

I also do find a few manufacturing defects on some of my figmas. Like my figma Saber where the gold lining on her right shoulder has faded when I got it.

Acquired a figma Haruhi in Nakano Broadway last month for 1895 Yen (though I saw one for less than 1800 somewhere in Liberty Hobby Figure store in Akiba). My sister didn't have much comment until she saw the CM video and was really impressed by it. Now and then she comes to my room and starts playing around with her poses.
