So you know how rigid things feel hard when you touch them?
I'll assume you do, since we've all touched plastic before.
Well Lum here is rigid, it's made out of hard plastic, but it feels super soft to the touch, is crazy.
Hell, it almost feels softer than a silicon figure, and those are actually soft.
I don't know why this is a thing with this figure in particular and not other Figmas, but it IS a thing.
It sure would be nice to get it on release too!
What happened? Well back in November of last year, these two gals showed up for preorder, so naturally, I preordered them at the same time.
Fast-forward one year, and now I'm told that because they're on the same order, I have to wait until November for the second figure to release, in order to get the figure that's already out.
The store in question? GoodSmile US, being the so called, "Official site" to get these things from in the US, you'd think they'd have more control over their platform, but no, "no can do" apparently.
And keep in mind that they don't tell you the release date of these things when they go up for preorder, just a general window of what *might* be the release date.
And even if they DID provide a release date, Sophia F. Shirring was supposed to release this month, but got pushed back to November recently.
*On a lesser note* , I bought Figma Akane on release last month, and now I see that same figure going for a whole $40 cheaper on ebay, I mean, I know the price of these things fluctuate over time, but goddamn, I'm feeling a little bit scammed, but that's a "me thing" rather than an actual complaint...
I did a video review too. https://youtu.be/0H-5rRDLir4?is=ASumDymubG4ufYO1
Got my figma Marin today! Compared to Aru, she felt way better QC wise, since I didn't had any issues with her. Like Aru, she is a fun figure to pose, since she literally feels like she's excluding a lot of hyper energy while posing. She doesn't come with much stuffs sadly, just a hand with a cellphone, a bag and 2 additional faceplates (winking and blushing expressions), though if you did get her PO item, you get one more faceplate to use, which is her happy expression.
The main catch for getting her, if you have figmas that can fit her faceplate, is actually to make her "cosplay" those characters. I did not try with all of my figmas, but from a quick test, so far her faceplates can be used on Yuuka, Kurumi and Holo, though it does not work vice versa since their faceplates are too big for her. While Marin's faceplates does fit on them, its not a tight fit however, so do keep in mind about that.
One thing that caught me off guard was that while she uses the same arm pegs like Hoshino and Bocchi (aka fixed peg with the arm swiveling around it), its actually quite a tight fit, so it doesn't really pop out from the arm peg, which I wished Hoshino and Bocchi did have it. Its not a deal breaker for them, but seeing Marin having a way better one kinda made me wished they had the same quality as well. Lastly, I really love how her hands are designed. They all have manicure, which you don't see so much in figma hands, so its quite unique.
Overall, despite the fact that she barely came with much, she's a fun figma to pose, which kind of help to compensate for that. If you can find a figma that allows her to use her faceplate, its even better as a way for her to "cosplay".
Just the konosuba gang up to their regular shenanagins. Also included yunyun for the last photo cuz shes the goat and really cute.^-^
Se me cayó esta figura de la estantería y rompí el joint del pie alguna solución?
