Figma
Taken last Saturday night at the Good Smile Company offices after my slot on the broadcast - here for those who missed it.
T'was about 2AM and by then most of the stuff had come back from the event space at Akiba. A bunch of to-be-released decoration masters (the original painted scultps) were calling to me from the snacks desk by the entrance - I had no choice but to give in to their cuteness and snap some shots.
First up is Haruhi - will come with a few facial expressions but this one is by far the cutest.
Just gorgeous. Kinda looks like somebody I know...
Many of the previous Figma's had sleeves down to the wrists. They had to change the sculpting of the elbows and wrists a bit to make them look a bit more natural bare skinned.
Must have! Kagamin in her Hatsune Miku cosplay gear as you saw her in the last Lucky Star OVA.
See a peek of Kagamin in the OVA below.
Cant wait till shes out.
Next up is Reika Gantz Version who looked stunning in the flesh. Must say that I thought she looked a bit odd in the previously released photos.
And what big eyes she has.
Bery bery big eyes desu.
Another figma that me cant wait to arrive - if you know what I mean ^o^/
And Tsuruya-san.
Another sweetie.
Figma does Disney with their something ball character - on the tip of my tongue.
Hope to bring comrades at Disney along to the next CGM Night.
Meiya Mitsurugi from Muv-Luv.
Some Muv Luv action below.
And lovely Mikuru-chan in her maid gear.
Secret time - many of the figma's that go on display at shows are actually glued into a certain pose - this is to save time setting up and posing each figma again and again for each show.
Hmmm. Nobody seems to be looking Maybe I should nab one...
And a quick photo from last Tuesday when Aniki, Dwango, GSC and I went to Gonpachi in Roppongi for a meal - will upload the photos and video (Billy Vs Trooper) that we made in a separate article.
Just thought I would post this for you to play with in the meantime ^^;

That face and that hair on Haruhi is just too damn cute! But... but... it's another Haruhi, and I lacks ze money. I'd love to get Fireball too and Meiya is damn hot! Gah... I need a Money Factory to buy all of that stuff from Max Factory >_<

Me will get Kagamin, Mikuru, Tsuruya and Haruhi. XD If really have to chose one of them, i will take Kagamin.
MMMMM FIGMA'S GALORE.
Haruhi looks awfully cute with that expression. Might get her when she gets released.
And Reika from Gantz is also a might get. She looks pretty amazing. ^^

I broke down and decided to save up for every Haruhi Figma there is. I am debating about Tsuruya-san, since I she uber-cute to the core, but not sure. (^^;;
Also, I am passing up on Kagamin, since while she is a favorite of mine, the character she is cosplaying is not (I concluded that Miku would be another fad character for me). (^^;;

sad thing is Kagamin in Miku coplay has bigger eyes than the actual Miku figma. ^^;

The only one I'm likely to get is Haruhi. The others are lovely too, but they're not characters I particularly like or series I'm familiar with.
The range of different characters really shows how good the Figma team is, though - with very stylised characters like Kagamin, more realistic ones like Reika, and then one that's not even human. They can pull off any style of character with accuracy, and lots of detail for their size.

Must get Drossel and Mikuru-chan.

http://actar.wordpress.com
Alrighty, where to start. I personally feel that the Kaamiku Figma is the first Figma taht strikes me as a must get. Following her is the Maid version Mikuru which is 1000 X better than the Fraulein counterpart (evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FFquICSCCo&feature=channel_page).
As for the Haruhi Figma, I've said what I've said before and I'd wish GSC will stop milking the Haruhi Series for Figmas. Comeon, this will be the fourth Haruhi Figma that I will be buying and I already have the same body sculpt 500 times over as seen in Nagato, Tsuruya, Ryoko, Yuki, Mikuru, etc. What's more a slight change in hair style, although cute, is not justifying me rebuying the figure. I really don't want to see:
Yuki Summer Uniform Ver.
Mikuru Summer Uniform Ver.
Tsuruya Summer Uniform Ver.
Ryoko Summer Uniform Ver.
...and we just had news of the Cheerleader Haruhi team. This really feels like buying 100 repaints of the same figure in Transformers lingo. Why not go for other series like the classic CCS? I'd die for a Sakura Figma. That being said, I really hope my comment is read and if you agree with me, do voice your opinion. I think I'll have to make this into a topic itself.
Rant over, I do think that the Figma series is fantastic. As seen from the above linked video, it is miles ahead of other Action Figure Companies like Revoltech in terms of design and quality. I'll be getting the Summer Uniform Version for now, but do consider what I've said.

Now that I wouldn't mind.
Student/Fanboy
I agree Actar. It would seem that GSC and Max Factory are milking the Haruhi franchise for all its worth with these mutliple releases. I for one will probably still be getting that Haruhi, since i didn't invest in past haruhi figures has heavily as you have (ie: I only have the three girls haruhi, yuki and Mikuru).
I see though that GSC and Max Factory are probably only doing this for insurance. We are heading into hard economic times and now there even more of a greater incentive to churn out figures that will DEFINITELY sell well instead of taking a gamble on other characters from less popular anime.
Still i do hope they come out with a Kannagi or Sekirei figmas in the future. Those are win win figures for me! ^_^
And yes I do agree with you Actar that Revoltech, at least the Fraulein line anyways has a ways to go. They use a very generic body sculpt type with loose joints that fall apart. I think that is their greatest weakness. Lately i feel the Fraulein line has gone pretty desperate, since they've copied Figma by issuing seperate face sculpts that can be swapped out. This is something i frown upon. Really i think this borders on plagiarism don't you think?

No worries Danny. Just giving some constructive feedback that I have heard from other forums. It is true that I don't have to get them. It is just that I'm a slave to Haruhi and she forces me to buy all products relating to her. (TT.TT)
Assistant Director
On a scifi modelling forum I frequent, there's been a lot of this attitude towards releases of vehicle kits that use to be subjects of kit-bashed or scratch builds, stating that if they released such a kit, then everyone would just get it instead of displaying the ingenuity and skill in designing then building the said vehicles. Of course, after the releases, many of us ended up using the kits as raw materials for other projects.
To me, it's a display of narrowmindedness towards to releases. If there was no demand for the items, GSC would not spend the resources on creating them, and even if they did, no one would buy them. If you must, think of it like this: By creating these easy to push/low creativity items, they generate the needed income to invest on more erratic specialist subjects. Personally, if by releasing a bunch of Haruhis means that they can then make more Aniki type figmas, I'm all for it. It might be weird, but it's neat to have some strange items in my collection.
My only gripe with that is that many of these strange rare releases end up fetching big premium prices and are horribly difficult to get a hold of... Still, I want to put aniki onto a figma bike...
Video Reviewer of Anime Figures, Mecha and Merch (youtube.com/user/Actar576295)
http://actar.wordpress.com
Good point indeed. Exclusives are evil. Not only do they tempt us like crazy, they are horribly expensive.
Assistant Director
To use Danny's Honda ref, it's like GSC are making a bunch of Civics so they can offset the costs/expenses of an NSX. It might not be at all practical, or even worth the costs, but if you like the brand and the stuff they make, and it fits your tastes, you'd damned well want one... Sometimes, business is so horrible to the bleary eyed consumer... T_T
Luckily, Figmas are cheap(ish), so I can still afford to splurge on a few proverbial NSX's
It's like you and your Haruhi obsession, I've got one for anything cute... The entire nendroid line is pretty much a tailor-made money sucking trap for me... lol
Student/Fanboy
Hence what i said earlier about "insurance" The haruhi stuff and Lucky star figures are there to supply GSC and Max Factory with stable revenue. Money that they can't normally recoup if they made lesser known characters.
Great stuff honestly. Its a fairly good strategy. Making both the popular stuff and the less popular stuff. Thereby satisfying both camps that follow more mainstream anime and the ones that follow lesser known ones.
I am still a bit perplexed with the Aniki thing though.... That was very unexpected....
Student, Motivated Future Hikikomori
`Bout the "Aniki thing". IMO, it will sell like crazy, like the great poet said : "Just for the Lolzz". Said with absolutely no disrespect for Aniki.
Student @ UofT
http://balancebox.wordpress.com/
Sigh I know what you mean bro, being a Haruhi fan/collector you want to collect them all. By all means figma are great series of figures.
But when is it consider enough? Some guys buy all characters from a whole series because they just love that series to death while others collect bit of each.
When there is demand they would supply it, any company will be stupid not to...
Will it be better if GSC/Max factory were to sell extra accessories for their figmas? Full customizable (comes with new faces, hands w/ items) but how would they price it ?_?

Student, Motivated Future Hikikomori
For me, the Kagamiku figma is the first om my Must Get List. And am far more excited than I was for any other.
But, like Actar, I am getting tired of the whole Haruhi figma deal. The bodies are absolutely the same, and "repaint" applies here perfectly. But, cmon, cheerleaders? Am gonna buy, but pi**ed off none the less.
The maid Mikuru is I think a good buy and will get it.
Actar, don`t you think that to GSC "If people buy, why make better?" applies? The figma series is far from revoltech in a good way, but do wish for something new on their behalf.
Final point: I will be getting those, but am not happy.

All of the Figmas above look fantastic.

You could have a equation thingy where:

a collection of studio CLAMP characters....

I'm not big on getting alternate versions of the characters I've already got, so I'll be passing up on quite a few of these. >.< I"m with Actar in that I'd rather see a wider variety of characters available than multiple versions. Like the rest of the Vocaloids, or some more Fate/Stay Night characters. (Archer anyone?)
That robot chick is a Disney character? Jeez, I'm way out of the loop. Still, if Disney is licensing stuff to Max Factory, maybe we can hope for some Pixar figmas. /wishful thinking

They all look great, but I have to watch my money- I'll be picking up the Drossel for sure. What I really hope is that Good Smile considers selling the Archetypes to a larger audience- okay, me. I'd like to try my hand at some customs, and the Female Archetype base seems ideal for it.

Its funny that the most wanted figmas in a poll are my least favourite, Haruhi and Kagamin DO NOT WANT ! I hope that Tsuruya will have different facial expressions too, maybe like... with her trademark tooth ;) .

Dammit. And I had to just pony up and finally buy "normal" Tsuruya at effin' Comic Con where I done got my camera stolen.
I need a way to destroy this Good Smile Company so I stop blowing my money on them.
And IMO, a realistic proportioned Figma is just frickin' Bizarro.
Danny: "I get these for free. ^w^ "
Billy: "I'm homeless because of them! Just see how decrepit I look!!"

Haruhi!!!!!!! I love this version! Summer version rocks! Also, with the different hair and digicam. It's my most wanted figma out of this bunch! After that, it's Mikuru! Then Reika! And then Kagamin. <3

Danny, any chance you could get them to release the Konata danchou cosplay ver. figma from last year's wonfes as a real release? I reeeeeeally want that more than Kagamin which I'll be reserving as soon as the online stores start offering her.

What do you guys & girls think if they made Power Ranger Figma's? good, bad?

Anyways, I'm back on here to play with the caption!

I must admit that Mikuru's facial expression + guns akimbo pose shocked me a little.
Anything interesting... that's what I do.

I currently have KagaMiku and Haruhi in my pre-orders list. And Dorsell from Fireball and Mikuru-chan will definitely add up to it once they become open from pre-orders!
The figma version is a lot better then the REVOLTECH version of waitress Mikuru. I was hoping for Haruhi bunny ver. figma though.

I might get Drossel. She looks cool. Mikuru maybe too, to more-or-less complete the school festival set (Though my Haruhi is Fraulein's Bunny..)
Not sure about Kagamiku. I'll have to get over how her tummy looks.. >.<

Reika looks kind of cool. I have to look into her.
But I would like to see some other figma characters other then repeating characters such as from the Haruhi series.
Figmas such as:
Code Geass: C.C. figma and Karen figmas. Nunnally Figma would be jokes lol
Fate/Stay Night figmas Archer/Lancer/Caren etc would be sweet
Kannagi characters
Shiki Ryogi figma ^_^
Lucky star: Kanata figma and Kagami/tsukana Shrine Maidan figma.
Queens Gate: Gate Keeper Alice figma would be a dream
Idol master: Yaogi figma
To-love Ru: Golden Darkness figma and Lala-sama figma
Rosario Vampire: Moka-san and friends.
And a bunch of other characters that would make this list too long.
If they make at least one of the Figmas and I will be happy.
