Volks Erika Sendo
Poor Erika Sendo. Is having a tough time trying to figure out why/how this can be released by Volks - the folks who make the gorgeous Dollfies. Looks like they failed by a great margin to make it look as good as the original Decoration Master...
To make matters worse, it costs 7,140 yen. I think I prefer a Q-joy.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

I am not a figure guy, nor am I really familiar Erika Sendo, or Fortune Arterial at all, but even so, I can agree on the fail. Looks like it's a poor bootleg kind of thing, especially in the mouth.

Quite. It looks more like something that would be overpriced at ¥710.
If they intended to jump into the market opened by the figma and revoltech lines, they will have to refine their product and reconsider their pricing.

Seems to me all Custama-Ps look kind of funky. >.> Sure some Dollfies might be a bit off, but usually they've got such a high cuteness factor it hardly matters.

Perhaps over time they'll improve - but this is not a good one to try to get a greater foothold in the market.

Maybe they're just better at making larger-scale stuff? This is definitely on par with Q-Joy, it's a race to the bottom to be sure.

That's horrific. Everything about it is awful, but the detached sleeves are the most disturbing parts to me. QA must have been high as a kite the day that got approved.

I forgot to add that I hope they learn their lesson with poor sales on this shockingly bad figure. If this is what they've done to Erika, then I cringe to think what they could do to my dear Kuze Kiriha. =^_^;=

do you think they might have rushed it do to a deadline?

I bet that this is the case. Looks like the designer looked at a calander, went 'OH JESUS F*** I HAVE TO PRESENT THIS TOMORROW I AM F***ING SCREWED', took amphetamines and possibly a hallucinogen and worked all night on making it.
true story...

Volks has released a fair number of figures, actually. And they're well...in my opinion they're all of questionable if not undeniably bad quality.

Figmas look way better than this.
Wasn't expecting this from Volks but they don't make many action figures do they? They should stick to static figures and Dolfies.

What the heck is wrong with her arms....her face 0_o
I have wierd taste.
I like this figure.
But im glad nobody else likes it. The price will lower and i will lose less money buying it.
