Я так обожаю HF Немезиду. В ближайшем будущем хочу сделать Тень Немезиды из тела такой же Немки и брони от Тени

Sushing articulated figures of Sultry Tempo Leva and Tomorrow’s Savior Dushevnaya coming soon!

Autobuy for me 💸

So apparently my first post got removed by Reddit filter, and I think I know why.

Anyway, I got my Animester 2B last week, and among all the 1/9 Animester figures I have gotten, she feels like the flimsiest one in a way. Firstly, her hand pegs fit very tightly into her hand parts. However, that cannot be said to the peg connecting to her arm as it's not as tight as the parts connecting to the hands. To remove her hand parts, you kind of need to remove the whole hand, with the pegs, and kinda dig in to remove the hand parts. Its not advised to do it normally since your hand may accidentally position itself onto the feather sleeves while tugging it. The funniest thing was that by default, they used the smaller black peg, and put the bigger grey peg in a small plastic. Why not use them in the first place instead?

Secondly, her arm can pop out easily if you twist and turn at certain angles. The arm is connected to the socket by a long peg at the elbow, with the rubber baggy top being used to cover it. To fully ensure its tight, you kind of need to make sure the baggy top and the arm socket are aligned so that the peg fully fits in, while making sure the former is fully pushed all the way to the arm socket. Its a bit irritating when it does pop out, though you can put it back in easily.

Lastly is her Pod 042. Not only it has joints that easily comes out, the support stand for it is one of the worst I have seen for supporting the Pod for any 2B figures. So you basically use a small support platform attached to the support arm, which can be attached to the main support stand. The thing is, you just put the Pod on it. Thats it. Its simple, but its not a firm support for the Pod. Not only that, the support arm is actually quite loose, which can make the Pod fall off easily. You can tighten it, but somehow if you move it a bit, it will loosen up again. The only way is to fully tighten it, though if doing so, you are making it stationary since it will be extremely hard to move it.

Other than that, the main figure for 2B is great. She comes with an additional head where her hair is being blown slightly by the breeze, which looks pretty good (though the base part of her hair has some really funky shading, which may be a slight turn off for some). She comes with 3 faceplates; 2 with the blindfold visor, and one without. The faceplate without the mask is a bit funny at certain angle. I get that its meant to show her neutral expression, but since you can adjust her eyes, she somehow can get a mocking eye expression instead.

A unique thing about her, is that like the Play Arts Kai version (and I think the Bring Arts Kai as well?), she has a removable skirt. In fact, she comes without the skirt on actually. I guess its to showcase her silicone rubber bottom. Funnily, all Animester figures has a small peg joint at the tailbone, and she is no exception. If you peek past her leotard, you can see it, but its pointless to use it since the leotard is blocking it anyway.

Also she is primarily hard plastic; her soft parts are her bottom torso and the section up to her chest (the shoulder parts are all hard plastic), so she's not primarily silicone rubber for most of her body, similar to Karas Samurai in a way. One thing I did not show here is that her swords has separate stands for it (similar to some Nendos having stands for their extra accessories, such as the Medjeds for Nendo Nitocris), though its kinda hard to fit into the main base. I kind of wished it was like the Play Arts Kai one, where you can fit everything onto the same support stand.

Overall a minor step down from the other Animester figures I got, but still quite a good figure I suppose.

I have three figures to choose from: Revoltech Yamaguchi No. 125 Shimazu Toyohisa, Medicos SAS Johnny Joestar (SBR), or Figma 584 Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Gold Ship. They have same price, range from $35 to $38. Let me know in the comments which one to choose and why. I’ll buy whichever figure gets the most votes.Thank you all in advance.

For anyone interested, I thought I’d also include a few size comparisons with some other figs that I have. As well as a few fun pose pics.

After looking at my humble collection, I realize I have such a sausage fest going on. I need to add some more chicks, lol!

Another Goku, it’s cool although it feels a little flimsy but that may be just me. I had the previous one and was on the fence about getting another Goku but i was stuck at home so i said f’it. Lol
