Would be interesting to see if Figma go ahead and make figures that don't have clothing around the shoulders.
More pics of Fraulein Haruka at Akiba Hobby.

Well that really sucks, I was looking at getting the Snow Strawberry version. But that is what you get with the revoltech series. I will need to rethink this right away.

Do not want.

    be careful with her. its not the revoljoint that broke. its the little square elbow joint. apparently mine wasn't the only one that broke, heard that a couple of other guys' figures had the same problem.

    Did encounter problems with both Revoltech Fraulein figures that I own so far (Rin and Pocco) but was fortunately fixed. My advice? Keep a strong bonding adhesive handy.

  Seems like a rushed, damage-untested figure indeed.

You can see pics of Figma Hatsune Miku with no clothing on the shoulders in the article on Tokyo Anime Fair 2008.

Doesn't look as bad as Revoltech, but still obvious.

I think I said this to some other revoltech figure... or on the pre-release announcement...
But this one is not for me. Liked her face, but the joints breaks the illusion.

Much as I'd like to jump in and object Gyakuten Saiban style to Fraulein's defense, it's really not up to par with what I've come to expect from a Revoltech series. Just gonna buy Rei, and I'm ending this dying love affair with Fraulein.

i think they can make better joins. it only matters if they do more R n D. look at the Fist of the North star figures. the joins is nicely done. but then the cost of figures will be more costly.
there is any type of join system that i like. have anybody heard of microman or microlady????
