⇒【 DO NOT BUY THE IZUMI KONATA WINTER UNIFORM FIGMA 】2024-01-01 09:42:07 /index/
For anyone who might be unaware as to which figure I'm talking about, here it is.
There are many questionable non-scale figures (e.g. the Zero Two Pop Up Parade figure) but none of them are as insidious as this one. It looks cute, yes, but Konata's cute face hides an ugly truth.
Her hair doesn't stay on.
You could blame this on the age of the figure. I did buy this off of Mercari through a year-old listing. The base was yellowing too, so I assume it may be an explanation for my current situation. However, her hairpiece just seems so... loose on her. It makes her tumble over. I have a strip of tape keeping the hair on, and even then it's unappealing.
This isn't even the worst of it. Her faceplate shares the same fate.
Unfortunately, there are other reviews calling the faceplates loose as well. That's when I realized that I wasn't alone in my disappointment for this figure. Everything else about the figure looks as expected, but I suppose the earlier figmas shouldn't be subjected to the same standards as modern ones. They are significantly cheaper, after all. Around 2,000 yen if I recall correctly.
Unless you enjoy figures that tumble over, don't get it. Spare yourself the trouble.
