Update 3: Figures

Sorry for the delay, a bunch of IRL stuff happened at once and I was quite busy until now.

This is the 3rd update of my 1 year break (1 more to go, I hope). I need to do a review of the stuff I received in the last couple of months and I will be completely updated! I hope I'll be able to finish before I receive the Comic Market loot, because backtracking old loots is a pain in the ass and is much easier to review them as I receive them...

FIGURES

Since all the figures are already in display, I'll do a brief listing with only one picture of each. Also in some photos appears old figures, but I'm only referencing the new ones.

1/6 Shikinami Asuka Langley [Test Suit] by Amie Grand, sculpted by Suzu.  

Suzu is one of my favorite sculptors, and I buy every figure sculpted by him released by Amie Grand despite being extremely expensive (being polystone instead of PVC).

1/7 Selvaria Bles Swimsuit ver. by Alter, sculpted by Yagyuu Toshiyuki. Unlike previously released Selvaria figures, this one is close to RAITA's original design. 

FREEing yukata versions of Illya, Saber and Rin.

The limited edition of 1/8 Saber Lily Golden Caliburn sculpted by Kawahara Takayuki.

1/8 Saber Motored Cuirassier sculpted by Kawahara Takayuki (again).

Max Factory`s 1/8 Saber Zero Refined version sculpted by Kuroda Masanori (I kinda prefer the older version) and Griffon Enterprises 1/7 Nadia sculpted by Ohsaka Miki.

 

Phat Company's 1/8 Prisma Illya (Manga Version) sculpted by Mazaki Yuusuke.

 

  The extremely puny Chogokin Saber by Bandai.

 

Kotobukiya's Cu-poche Saber.

 

1/8 Wave figures of the Ryugu Komachi trio (Asuza, Iori and Ami) from iM@S, sculpted by Abira.

1/10 Saber Lily, 1/10 Saber [Zero ver.], 1/10 Saber Alter and 1/10 Saber Extra by Wave from the Beach Queens figure line.

A group photo: the Beach Queens figures of iDOLM@STER (only missing Yukiho and Ritsuko to complete the set) along with the TYPE-MOON Nendoroid Petit.

The rest of TYPE-MOON Nendoroid Petit.

Cheerful Japan campaing Nendoroids of Saber and Rin.

Nendoroid casual Saber.

Nendoroid Zero Saber.

Nendoroid Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Alice.

TYPE-MOON Figma: Phantasmoon Eclipse, Irisviel, Zero Saber, Kiritsugu and Saber Extra bride version along the regular one.

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Figmas: Shibuya Rin and Futaba Anzu (Wonderfest exclusives).

Figmas from Muv-Luv series. Since I got Kagami Sumika along the games, I purchased Mitsurugi Meiya, and to complete the set Takamura Yui and Cryska Barchenowa from Total Eclipse as well.

Figma Shikinami Asuka Langley Test Plugsuit Ver. by Max Factory

Received today, Figma Shikinami Asuka Langley Test Plugsuit Ver. by Max Factory.

Since I'm quite angry with it, I'll begin the review with the most glaring fault:

What the heck is that!? I complained about how Figma Mari breast piece was sort of disjointed from the rest of the body, but this is too much! Is not a solid piece, but a hollow chunk of rubber hanging there with a vaguely form resembling a breast!

This is the first time I feel cheated buying a figma, since the promotional shots are completely different from the final product.

Okay, after the rant let's proceed with the rest of the review.

Asuka comes with three faces (smiling, embarrassed and yelling), 11 hands (one of them holding a cell phone), the creepy doll (pictured above) and two different sets of hairs, one with movable twintails and the other fixed.

Holding the cell phone. The smiling face is a bit too neutral for a hot blooded character like Asuka.

Angry face and another shot of how bad the breasts looks in almost every angle.

Back shot and the fitting ashamed face.

And like Mari, she also comes with a full cockpit.

I'm not too fond of Asuka's overkill fanservice plugsuit, but with those ugly breasts this figma became my second least favorite one (the worst is Drossel Gizmo ver.), even when Asuka is my favorite Evangelion character.
I hope Max Factory will release a "normal plugsuit version" with a better sculpt.

1/6 Shikinami Asuka Langley by Kotobukiya

Just received 1/6 Shikinami Asuka Langley by Kotobukiya.
Sculpted by Shirahige Tsukuru, is based in the new renewal movies Shikinami Asuka instead of the classical Soryu Asuka, but the only difference between the two is a detail in the neck of the plugsuit.

I find the face sculpt a bit weird, but I can't put the finger on what is at fault...

The base is the horned Eva-02.

The hair have a slight translucent effect.

She makes pair with 1/6 Ayanami Rei that was released in 2007 that was also sculpted by Shirahige.
