rice bubble: Ika Musume
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2012/10/ika-musume.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Figma #123, Ika Musume. And my Custom Ika beach set. Produced by Max Factory. Made of ABS, PVC. Sold for 3333 jpy. It wasn’t until posting about the beach set I made that I realized I never actually put up a review for this fig, so I figured I’d edit it in. Gotta say, I’m really glade they did a figma of this character, I wouldn’t have guessed that they would. As neat as it is, I do worry a bit about using it too much and braking the wire inside. The printed images are stuck ...

rice bubble: melon
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2014/02/melon.html
Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Melon figure by MegaHouse review. Msrp; ¥6300. I think I got this one off amiami when it was sale a while ago, but can’t remember too well. comes from a pretty crappy show I’m sure I’m in the minority when I say I enjoyed. Box it comes with is freaking huge. Base is a tad on the plain side but serves it’s purpose just fine. Here and there the paint application feels a little sloppy, but only on closer inspection. Over all I think the pose/sculpt is rather nice.

rice bubble: gdgd Fairies
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2014/02/gdgd-fairies.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. Gdgd Fairies 3 pack by Phat Company. MSRP of ¥2286. Hight =60 mm (2.34 in). Featuring Korokoro, Pikupiku, and Shirushiru. Based on a show I honestly can't recommend to anyone which is made entirely with Miku Miku Dance. Comes with eveything shown and some background things and stuff. If you haven't seen the show, this is the magic pond they use to view into other words, and try to guess what they're saying. This room is where all the magic happens! My figure review type things.

rice bubble: Eila Ilmatar

Sunday, January 27, 2013. Figma number #149 review, Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing,. Produced by Max Factory. Made of ABS, PVC. Sold for ¥3333. About H=135 mm tall (5.27 in). This makes my forth strike witches figma so far, and I’ll certainly try to get them all. Bought her from Bought her off otacute for $35.90 shipping. Comes with plenty of accessories, but no tarot cards unfortunately. Oh, and yeah I thought a blue background might be appropriate, just testing it out. I didn&...

rice bubble: Nishizumi Miho
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2014/08/nishizumi-miho.html
Friday, August 1, 2014. Figma #211 review – Girls und Panzer – Nishizumi Miho. Msrp of ¥4444. While I thought Girls und Panzer was great, and I do love figma, I didn't preorder this one. Instead I only got it becuase I came across someone on MFC who was selling it for too good of a deal to pass up. In retrospect I can understand why they sold it. Let me start off by being blunt and simply saying I hate the new box design. I guess they're trying to color code the characters, but with many figma don't real...

rice bubble: Asahina Mikuru
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2013/03/asahina-mikuru.html
Saturday, March 16, 2013. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - Asahina Mikuru. Produced by Max Factory. Had my eye on this for a while, and snagged one off Mandarake for 1500jpy, which came out to roughly $30 after shipping fees and stuff. This was actually my first time buying from mandarake. Box was obviously beat up a bit. got it used after all. I'm surprised balance isn't a problem with this figure, her pose has her leaning a lot to the side. All around nice quality. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu.

rice bubble: Minicchu - Moroboshi Kirari
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2014/02/minicchu-moroboshi-kirari.html
Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Minicchu - Moroboshi Kirari. IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - Moroboshi Kirari -Minicchu review. Bought this in a set off yesasia very recently, was my first time buying from the site. they've got a free shipping thing for stuff over $50 or so which is cool. anyways, I only intended on keeping this fig and selling off the others if I can. I've had mixed results in the past with doing that. All of the figs in this series come in the same blind box like this. Simple template. P...

rice bubble: Aquarion EVOL
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2013/02/aquarion-evol.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Super Robot Chogokin, Aquarion Evol. Got this one from amiami for around $40. Not much else to say I guess. Anyways, this is the box it comes in. Get a load of the manual for this thing, seems like they were trying to be in depth as possible. At first glance it seems to come with a lot of accessory, but that's not really the case since some of those are. I gotta say, right out the box I was really impressed by how possible this thing is, it's got joints all over the darn place.

rice bubble: Nyarlathotep
http://rice-bubble.blogspot.com/2013/03/nyarlathotep.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Figma #160 - Haiyore! Produced by Max Factory. Box it comes in, bit more colorful than I expected. Not exactly a lot of accessory, but the crowbar and grenade are nice. rest is pretty par for the course for a figma. A nice thing about the grenade she comes with, is that the peg in the hand used to keep it in place is the same size as the hole found on the back of figma. This means you can use a regular stand to prop the grenade up in the air. Decent enough crow bar. Another thing...
