One of the few things that I enjoy in your review is probably the last few shots. I'm always looking forward at the poses that you do with your figurines! Keep up the good work!
Yo, I cant wait for mine to get here! I really wish good smile would continue this line. Would love to see a Mako, either in her regular outfit or 2-star uniform.
The ironic thing is that the prices for a Ryuko figma now are pretty jacked up. My Satsuki's coming soon but I won't be opening mine until I find a decently priced Ryuko.
I wish they would have designed the straps in a complete different way, your review made me realize how it's not only visually inaccurate but it also makes you hesitant to move the torso that much. Nonethelss the likeness is spot-on and the accesories are excellent. An overall great figma, even if a bit pricey (but that's sadly becoming the norm).
anyone else have the problem with the figma stand not entering the whole way in the back slot on the back of the figure? Not sure if that's just my figure or a flaw of the figure itself.
Speaking of posing and being dynamic, a lot of us are curious as to how Kaiyodo would have handled the license with their Revoltech line, especially if Yamaguchi had a hand in sculpting them. A good reference are the many Gurren Lagann robots.
I think if Revoltech did Kill la Kill then we'd end up with figures that could ONLY do dynamic poses. They also wouldn't be easy to pose and kinda feel like shit in hand. My bigger concern would be how they'd actually look though - of all the Japanese action figure manufacturers they're by far the worst. Can you tell I'm not a fan of Revoltechs? Actually I don't even know why I still own ALL the Gurren Lagann ones lol
I don't think they would be too bad of figures. Recent Revoltech figures have been improving upon the older stuff with updating the joint system and sculpts becoming more pronounced. The closest example comparison I can make if KLK went Revo would be the Revengeance Raiden figure. From my time owning him, he hasn't had any issues with regards to posing and can stand perfectly fine considering his clawed heel foot design. While I wouldn't say they are the worst manufacturers, I can agree that they wouldn't be my first selection if a property I like would receive the Japanese figure treatment. That being said though, I think they do fill a certain purpose as a company that does produce figures for properties that wouldn't normally get figures in 1:12 scale. As for Gurren Lagann, if I wasn't so dirt poor right now I'd try hitting you up for those figures if you didn't want them anymore, haha! At least owning TTGL, SGGL, AGL and regular GL would be pretty cool with them all posed together. It's too bad though that they never continued forward by making a STTGL and Granzemboa / Super Granzemboa among not making any of the humans apart from Yoko.
I got Satsuki, and I like her a lot, but her weird hip frills constantly unpeg, her one hand likes to fall off, and it took 15 minutes of fiddling to even come close to matching her box pose. Now I wish I had gotten a Ryuuko (even though I like Satsuki more).
I wish I could have her by now, but she's combined with Racing Miku 2014 and Iron Man Mark 45 Figuarts >< but at least I'll have a lot of figures to screw around with in September xD STOKED that she comes with an adapter to complete the scissor blade! A feature I wasn't expecting! Just curious if you are planning on ordering from GSC to get the special bonuses in the future? I'm torn on a recent pre-order available, and was wondering what your thoughts are on the GSC store bonuses for figmas. As always, great review! Love the philosophy quotes at the end xD
Yuuichinoyatsu Generally I don't get the GSC exclusives. I've always found that their exclusive items have never been MUST have things. Take Satsuki for example, her GSC bonus part was Bakuzan in two parts. It's cool but that weapon is more for the Satsuma x Senketsu form. Don't get me wrong, I've been tempted but never regretted skipping them.
I hear you. I've also felt that the bonus parts haven't been interesting enough to merit a purchase through their online shop, but the recent bonus face for the Sonoda Umi figma has me torn >< Maybe if she was in a costume rather than a school uniform, it'd make me favor getting her through GSC, but as it stands I think I'll stick with my amiami pre-order after all =)
Personally GoodSmile could of done better on the design of the straps on Satsuki and Matoi. What they could of done and could of been way better too is if they designed insert slots/holes underneath the breast and have the straps to be excess/longer that they tuck away inside holes into the upper torso. So as you bend her forward, the straps tuck in, and being longer straps the straps just pull out a bit as you move her side to side. And have her back straight up the straps are lined up the same. Still not much of a change in forward crunch articulation but it gives more articulation as you would of been able to move her side to side. The back spine piece, would of been better if it was able to collapse in, but GoodSmile doesn't do that type of articulation.
Just got mine today and it looks like those warped straps are a widespread issue... That said, the sculpt is soooo well done that, ignoring every issue I found was the easiest thing ever @___@
I asked GS about it and they said it depends on the popularity and demand. I guess if many people email them in the product requests section they might do a mako figma (also i hope,the elite four)
Ever since he started doing reviews again, people like you keep asking for Gundam reviews. Like seriously, give the dude some time and let him review what he wants. I would be pretty annoyed if people keep asking me for the same thing over and over again.
It's not like I'm asking you, I just like his review and I wonder why he's not reviewing any gundam lately.. I don't know how much people asking this question and I think I don't need your permission to ask him what I want to know..
***** Damn that sucks. The more I think about it her head keeps falling off as well. The rest of her body is fine but her head is on some weird joint. Looks like I gotta buy her again.
A+ for that ending speech, flawless
RayShadow278 :D

Great review. I always enjoy the production value that goes into these!
Great review of an amazing figure!!! I need this NOW!!!
Her figure is amazing... and the design of her shoulders to the foot, i cannot unsee the Shin-Getter 2 robo.
Yo, I cant wait for mine to get here! I really wish good smile would continue this line. Would love to see a Mako, either in her regular outfit or 2-star uniform.

I'm planning to modify my matchbox Mercedes CLS with Satsuki's theme in mind!
I got Satsuki, and I like her a lot, but her weird hip frills constantly unpeg, her one hand likes to fall off, and it took 15 minutes of fiddling to even come close to matching her box pose. Now I wish I had gotten a Ryuuko (even though I like Satsuki more).

In terms of accessories, quality,poseability, and overall presentation, which is better figma Chariot tv animation ver. or figma Satsuki Kiryuin?
+Lyanne Pineda The one you like better.
I'm waiting for mine to arrive!!Any day now.Good review.
Dowsing Faiyaaa But will you shamelessly display it for all to see?
Heck yeah!That's what true beauty really is!LOL.
BARE IT ALL FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
I'm getting mine with the pre-order bonus, the bonus being Bakuzan Gako and Bakuzan Kouryu.
Wait a minute. Is that Kirito GGO figma? When's the review for that plus Sinon too?
Lester Buccat Somewhere in the future, I suspect.
Personally GoodSmile could of done better on the design of the straps on Satsuki and Matoi.

Yea, this was an error on all the satsukis. the left side has some extra length.
Just got mine today and it looks like those warped straps are a widespread issue...
That said, the sculpt is soooo well done that, ignoring every issue I found was the easiest thing ever @___@
What do you think about the recent figfix line from GSC, especially the Detective Conan Bundle?
No interest.
***** A shame really, but I guess no one can like every anime.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Haha nice use of the star wars pre order base. I'm shocked there won't be a Mako Figma considering her popularity.
I asked GS about it and they said it depends on the popularity and demand. I guess if many people email them in the product requests section they might do a mako figma (also i hope,the elite four)
i hope there is more kill la kill figures
ZackTheThunderking go to partner.goodsmile.info/support/eng/inquiry/ and request them and get your friends to request them ...
hey type v3 this video was posted 1 hour ago please reply
You know it doesn't matter when you comment, right? I READ EVERYTHING.
I'd hope so - It was deliberate!
I thought the other half of the scissor blade was purple?
Zero Impulse That was when Nui had it. It became red when Ryuko got it.
starforcenetwork Beat me to it!
Ah, thanks! I guess I forgot about that. XD
I was exceptical, but this review helped me a lot. Great video!
Subscribed.
hey TYPE V3, you do know that both ryuko and satsuki are sisters right?
Paul Jordan Of course! I'm a HUGE fan of the anime.
Hey Type V3, what happen with Gundam review? I always like your Gundam Build Fighter review..
You do realize that he doesn't mainly focus on Gundam reviews, right?
Yes I do realize.. But is it wrong if I ask for gundam review?
Ever since he started doing reviews again, people like you keep asking for Gundam reviews. Like seriously, give the dude some time and let him review what he wants. I would be pretty annoyed if people keep asking me for the same thing over and over again.
It's not like I'm asking you, I just like his review and I wonder why he's not reviewing any gundam lately.. I don't know how much people asking this question and I think I don't need your permission to ask him what I want to know..
Ruben Paulus Jonathan What did happen to TYPEV3's Gundam reviews? HMM.... must be a conspiracy!
Got mine for 60, really wanted Ryuko but damn she's expensive
Edgy Wedgie They're re-releasing her next month, so she's back down to a more reasonable price!
You should do more gundam models
Romeo Zacarias Rumor has it that TYPEV3 quit gunpla.
No more gunpla reviews?
Juancarlos Compen Apparently that's the ongoing rumour!
? I didn't get the students....I hope mines not fake.
Do you have the "genuine" sticker on the box? You can see it on mine at 7:16 right next to the 249 red box.
O.O No, it just says "sales outside japan only" and it's a white square :(
***** So does that mean she's fake?
Not a sure thing yet, but that's generally one of the first ways to spot a fake.
***** Damn that sucks. The more I think about it her head keeps falling off as well. The rest of her body is fine but her head is on some weird joint. Looks like I gotta buy her again.
awesome review!
It's override, not syncronize
I love that action figure of kill la kill's chick-tator! Please step on me, Lady Satsuki!
