Figutto is Griffons new line of articulated figures. Akiba Hobby has some photos of the up n coming Tamaki sample thats due out in March.
Included with Tamaki is an articulated stand and a case for face and hand parts - the whole set for 3,360 yen.
Are you excited about the Figutto line or think that Griffon should stick to scale figures?

the colour of the joints look darker then its skin tone though...

I agree, if the paint on the joints matched the skin tone, it would look much better.
It's not very noticeable when the arm is bent, but when the arm is straight, it's very obvious

Love the details and accessories. I just think that Griffon should take a page out of Volks for the joints and not try to develop it themselves.

A scale reference would be nice, and have the joint color match the skin... otherwise, for this fig.... No Sale...

Ok, I'll backstep here, figutto's website shows a better pic, with color-matched joints, so I'll apologize there. Akiba Hobby has some cool pics, *but I got distracted by Hoi-Hoi, my bad o.O * So.......I'll shut up now.......
cute~

I like the facial sculpt and the body is not bad, but something about just leaving the joints exposed bothers me...
I think tamaki should be bigger ^^
Dollfie style ??

The joints dont seem to be the same color as the skin. Kinda throws me off.
All round good guy and musician
Not so sure about the joints being a different colour to the surrounding 'flesh'. But perhaps, this is only a pre-production run, and they'll sort that out with the real figures.

I have this one on preorder and I look forward to comparing it to my beloved figmas. Looks good based on the pics and I wonder what sort of customs I can make.

If this is to the same scale as the Figma's and Revoltech Frauleins, then this is all to the good. With more manufactures making pose-able figures, there will be more selection of characters to choose from.

quite nice though same gripe as what others have already mentioned. Joints could have been done better. Kaiyodo, mobip and MaxFac did a good job. I guess I'll reserve judgment for when I have my grubby mitts on her.

when release,Figutto might be more sellable than figmas and revolFrauleins.

I bet with joints shown bare like that, there is a bit of articulation in those.

Don't like how these look. They could at least make them the same color as the body.

Exactly the same thing I thought

don't really get used to the dollfie like joints ,but the whole figure is nice though~

I like the figure, but I hope they work on the joints.
Student
It's a nice concept, if the joints didn't stick out as much I'd definitely be more obliged to buy it, but at its price its not too expensive minus shipping.

this figure features an awesome face but the body in contrast is far from being a match

To be completely fair, it's not that I think Figutto is bad... it's just not Figma.
And since the only articulated figures I like are Figmas, I can't really say Figutto is bad.
The only exception so far is Revoltech Yotsuba, and it's really the only Revoltech I like.
have to agree the sculpt looks solid but the concealing of the joints isn't well done, but still looks better then most revo fraulein figs.(i'll still stick to yamaguchi for revo figs.

Too many joints huh...familiar to a wooden doll in some art drawing class..Good but the neck..seems weird to look.

It would be nicer if the joints weren't so obvious... It also looks kind of cheaply made.

The shoulders look a bit off and the joints are a little too visible, but I don't think it's bad for a first try. If they brought out a character I was interested in I'd probably buy one.

It's the joints... Though I did pre-order the Touhou ones.

Her breasts look like implants and the joints are a real eye sore. Not my favorite line of figures. I do have a pro to all these cons though! I like the face/hair. It looks great. Well made and the expression on her face is very cheerful. But sadly enough, the cons out weigh the pros.

It looks very weird and the joints color contrast is different for the skin.

It's not that great imo, optical eyes and hair look great, but the face looks unusual, the joints stand out too much.

I think, that Griffon's scale figures suck. :| But their action figures look rad. Preordered Reimu, and can't wait for wait Konomi is announced.

Nice alternative to Figmas and better than Mobip.

Not the worst figures I've seen, but I think they should stick to scale figures.

Female anime figures are the center of interest because they are way more beautiful than real 3D women! So when you add ten joints (looking awful) to articulate the figure, it is no more as pretty as it used to be... Scale, PVC, marble-like figures all the way! If I want to play with my figure, I can go and buy a two-dollar fully articulated plastic toy... Sorry for the tension but where ever I look I see articulated figures and it becomes more and more irritating...

Figuttos are alright, but they should stick to scale figures. The figuttos remind me of scaled down dollfies.
I would like to be able to pose figure, but hate the joint look. Kinda ruins the sexy, don't ask why it just does.
I think the joints being molded into a separate colour is what kills it. Other than that, I dig it. Overall, it looks much better tan mobip, so I'm definitely looking forward to the future line up of this series.
working to pay for figures etc.
Interesting but not as slick as Figma or Revoltech - the joints are more like ball jointed dolls. This might make them more durable however. I notice they are prototyping Touhou figures, which will go down well with a certain demographic...

Not so good. I rather prefer Figmas.
The joints should match body color as well.

If it wasn't for the neck joint, I would have pre-ordered it right away...

the face is nicely done and really looks like tamaki, but somehow the way the joints are attached or angled with the body parts are .. how to say it.. too 'obvious'? it was like the joints are taking away your attention, its unlike figma where the joints seems natural and slick and didn't take your attention away from the figure as a whole
