The Gundam parts are from RX-78GP02A ^^. That's a lot of figmas Danny, I only own 1 at the moment.
Double the Haruhi means double the groping...I wish I had some to makes scenes with...
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"...
THOSE ARE SOME HUEG EYES.
I will try so when I get figma Rin and FATE within the next 2 months.. I want to see if they look good on each other by swapping their heads, etc.. XD
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
No need to force but not all faces are interchangeable.
Mikuru the Saber Class Servant: Kkkore wa... e..e..e.. eeekususssuuuu.... KKK..KKKAKAKKARIIIBBBAA~!!! The 2xHaruhi Abuse on Mikuru looks Hilarious xD
You are having too much fun... Itsuki facedown with arm in the Dewback's mouth - Hilarious
Nice, I like how you displayed them, very cool.
OMG I love it!! Especially the pics of Haruhi's trying to grab Mikuru's goods! Only have one figma so far. (Yay Haruhi!!)
Hmmm. I should have dusted down the table a bit before the photos.
I love the pic with Lulu-chan y Mikuru. Will be great to Mikuru-chan get Geass too.
Haruhi riding the monster and Mikuru with Gundam legs were lol. XD Itsuki is chasing the wrong target! You know he only has eyes for Kyon and his mole...
Mole...? What mole?
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
Yep - out nationwide in Japan tomorrow > http://goodsmile.info/info/products.html you sure the ones you've seen are not bootlegs?
Well they're out already in Hong Kong; even in Animate shops. Some are selling as low as 165 HKD.
Mine will ship from Hobby Search when Konata comes out (hopefully soon!)
Looks like parts of Dom mobile suits. Mikuru's ready to invade but faces heavy retaliation from Haruhi squads x_x
gundamikuru is tooooo cute.
I'm still waiting for my figmas to arrive. seems like I'll be the last person around to have a figma. T-T the gundam is the GP02, I'm still looking for that gff as well. T-T anyway here are my caption attempts: ^^ http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/6264/lulumilkwm2.jpg http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1917/17415oq0.jpg
Crap, they used to sell one for 1k here, but I never bought it....
I didn´t notice that it was Itsuki arm on the monster mouth. I thought that Kyon was eaten and Itsuki would be the next ^^"
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.
what do you mean tomorrow... it's sitting in my house already
I'm guessing someone broke street date...
Mikuru's expression is funny~ ^^ so Haruhi got a new interest in monster other than aliens, time travellers and ESPER?
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.
Interesting. I wonder if Good Smile know that figures are going on sale before Japan ^^
Ah so cute! Too bad I don't have any Figmas to play for now, still waiting for Figma Konata to be out and that will be my first.
is mikuru's eyes made of soft material like the skirt?
Unfortunately not ^^
yeah, I like figmas. I have Nanoha and Haruhi, and I think I'll buy Nagato Yuki evil wizard ver. and Fate T. Harlaown.
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! Lelouch: Lelouch Vi Britainnia commands you to do the Caramelldansen! I don't want to guess what Kyon and Itsuki are up to ^_^|||
I LOL at the MikuruXGundam XD I don't own any figmas. All I see here is PVC figures. I guess to be able to get hold of a figma I have to order it online. Sadly, I has no credit card x_x
Saber Mikuru looks hot! she could slash me with her swords anytime!
Cute! Everybody's answered the Gundam parts, but the bazzoka specifically is the GP02's beam bazooka.
Great Mikuru with GP 02 A legs and nuclear bazooka ! I have watched gundam 0083 this weekend ^ ^
loooooooooooooooooooks goooooooooooooooooood! i love pic #2 haha mikuru is like cheering the dino on for biting off the hand.. hahaha hmm i seem to be having problems logging in. i click on the bottom 'Post Comment' the login box appears but after i key in my id and password, i click log on, nothing happens.. im using Firefox 3.0.1 on Windows. is it only me? the normal top rogu in works tho, weird..
I really really need to start getting Figmas... They looks so fun to play around with...
It is lovely though I do not understand what characters these are. I'm sorry English ..unskilled...
LOL @ Haruhi's new transport. Makes total sense.
I can't wait to get mine. ^^ I have 4 so far but 2 are currently on its way. I love figmas. They are fun to play with and to exercise my creativity. I want to own them all. I love them as much as I love my PVC's. ^^
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.
WTF! many mixes...
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.
so you can simply just change the head of those figmas? i thought the expressions were made up of stickers hurhur awesome background props btw, could do with some lighting though
ROFL@raep mikuru pics and gundam-mikuru :3
I have the Haruhi and Saber figmas at my work desk. I have Mikuru and a few other figmas on order through Kid Nemo, so I'll be getting those eventually.
I lol'd @ gundam mikuru. I don't have any figmas, but I do have Gurren Lagann and Lazengann Revoltechs.
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. Pic of store here: http://picasaweb.google.com/senorquentinos/Tokyo2008/photo#5210229977816317810
so far only own Saber and Nanoha figma, will getting more..
Mikuru is dangerous and two Haruhi's is extremely dangerous... It seems now parts for Figma fits with Gundam parts... So much Figma... Danny, how you got the background...
Currently have Yuki, Lulu, and Konata (Haruhi ver.) figmas. Starting to like them more than basic figures because of price and swap/posability. Hope to get that Saber Lily and Guitar Wizard Yuki when it comes out and preorder Miku figma as soon as it goes up, lol.
I always said that my first figure would be the Tsukimiya Ayu with removable wings, but this Mikuru looks so sweet... I really have to work my ass off this Summer ;_;
Mikuru Saber looks so right. I guess that means after this head-swap Saber is joining the SOS-dan. As for me, I've got a Figma Yuki and Haruhi, and am waiting on the Figma Kanu to come out. I'd get a Figma Konata, but they're a bit tricky to pre-order at the moment.
I have 3 figmas right now, and quite a few pre-ordered :D
Im scared of playing with my figurines (Figma or otherwise) as much as you play with yours...
The Figmas I have are the Nanoha and Saber ones. I just recently bought the school uniform Haruhi one but its still in the mail... hopefully it gets here today.
I should have bought the Lelouch one at the Anime Expo when I went... -sigh- Oh well. They had Yuki, too.
Ill be ordering the Fate Figma when it comes out and maybe even the Konata one (I really want the Haruhi cosplay one, but regular Konata is cool, too.)
BTW, I also have the hair falling out problem with Nanoha. Im scared that just touching her will make the hair fall out. Is the search mentioned above ("fixing loose joints") supposed to lead me to a how to fix Gundam models with glue page?
Anyway, this is my first post here in this site. I cant open the comment box on Firefox/lolifox and I rarely use Internet Explorer. I also cant participate in polls. Weird.
For figure collectors, I think most of us has at least 1 Figma. They're cheap and nice~! =D
Mikuru is so cuuute I want it! but her boobs should be bigger ^^"
Yub, got figmas and pleeenttyyy of pre-orders. I bug the poor webshop everytime when a new one appears, luckyly he is a good fellow. :D I send him also of to hunt on WonFes for me lol - need Suzaku Figma! I can't get enough figmas, they are just to cool. :) Gota make up for the time i was little and had no barbies.
Gah hit submit to quick, Chun is contagious! lol I LOVE the pictures you made of Mikuru and Haruhi, and the face exchange... awesome! Good Mikuru has a bazooka to defend herself. ^^;
I want a GP02A Mikuru! that's the cutest thing ever!
lol!! okie... back to cooking ^^;;;;
I only have a Yuki Figma, but I'm hoping to get a Konata one when it's released.
TOBE MIKURU!!!!!!!! (hums Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Opening theme)
Hahaha, I tried to avoid commenting, but I couldn't help it... The head-switching is just too funny, and oddly illuminating... Saber Mikuru! ^_^; P.S. Why does the site take so long to load, argh... Shouldn't make a difference if I clear the cache each time I close Firefox, should it? =.=;;;
If you clear cache each time then obviously everything will be loaded next time @.@
LOL, damn, at these speeds, didn't think it would matter, lol. ^_^;;;
lol at Haruhi's transportation. Somehow, i'm amazed when i saw anime figures together with other toys. What's that animal/lizard that Haruhi use?
I currently own 3 figma myself...Haruhi, Nagato & Saber Soon will add lelouch, mikuru, itsuki, kyon.... preordered KanU, Konata, etc....
I broke one of figma Saber's sword handle when I was playing with it (T.T)
I only have the Haruhi figma now. mikuru i have pre-ordered. Didn't know the heads could be interchanged. hmm gives me ideas, but need to get some more figmas first ^-^ especially the saber one.
i have a few but the pre-order list is long, I can't wait until end of month
Waiting for the Fate figma @_@
Just got my first Figma in the mail today. It was the Konata cosplaying as Haruhi one. Have pre-orders for the Hiiragi twins, and witch Yuki. Plan on ordering the normal Konata in the next week or two. The color of the hair on my Konata/Haruhi is off though. The front hair piece is a darker blue than the back hair piece. Looking at it straight on you can't really tell, but looking from the side the color difference is obvious. Anyone else with this figure have that problem?
I put a gouge in Lulu's hand with my thumbnail while I was trying to change it, if that counts.
No but want one, especially Saber. Saber is very cool!!
i gots a haruhi figma :D
Yup my precious Yuki's hand the first 3 mins i had it :(
My Haruhi (and Saint Cloth Myth Saint Seiya figurine (Seiya, second cloth)) arrived today! The wrist joint in the left default hand broke... I managed to fix it temporarily and swaped the hand with the left pointing one. I loves my new figma. ^_^
Sorry for the double post... I couldnt resist messing with the Itsuki and Lelouch pic now that I have free time... http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/271/evillulukr8.jpg
This photo are epic! Figma really make their parts interchangable, that's a great idea for Figma collectors.
Nice trip for mikuru ei...i get that figma.
I can't wait till it's available in my area ^o^ Your posts look so fun, Danny.. poor Mikuru XD
Aw, she's adorable! I can't wait until mine comes in. I have Saber, Haruhi, Yuki, and Nanoha currently in my possession, with Mikuru shipping from HLJ any day now. I had to get two Mikurus, though; my mom threatened to steal mine. ^^; She's also claiming Lelouche, too. No breaks yet, thank God, but there is some strain in the plastic of Yuki's stand that worries me a little. Also, I will definitely be trying that glue trick on Nanoha's bangs. She's too cool looking to have her posability impaired by such a stupid loose part.
i want one...awww...gonna go buy one soon...i hope...>.>
I'm so glad I could vote YES! T_T Got my Yuki figma this weekend... so nice. Mikuru is looking fine too, but I don't like much her standard mouth. Her shouting is perfect though. Now I want a Haruhi figma and a Mikuru figma just to re-enact the most memorable scene on the anime... :P
Also, with all the Haruhi figures around, I'm hoping one of the companies make a Haruhi bitting Mikuru's ear figure soon. I'd gladly buy it!
Arg, can't wait to get Mikuru added to my collection!:D I am really starting to like figma's and the things that you can do with them.:) I also can't wait for my Haruhi wall scroll.:)
Itsuki = Rhapsodiously HOT. Itsuki with Mikuru = Oppai Pounce mode! XD Saber Mikuru = Owns. Haruhi with a Rapier = HOT. I regret not getting this. Itsuki with a Rapier = HOTTER than hell. <3
i purchased Konata first (winter uniform) but i orderd it from kid nemo and they suck. they don't "restock" when it's out, no i had to wait a month + and in this month + i ordered a haruhi figma (Amazon) and it came a few days EARLY! and i was soooo happy! lol!but when Kona chan comes, i'll be makin a buncha movie's. (no pun intended) LMAO.
I put mine on ebay. Here is a link to what I'm selling at the moment. New Yuki Nagato Revoltech is here. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300301605737&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DSelling
