Figma Aigis
One day when I was just meeting some of my friends, one of them told me that I should start to try to get my first figma. I told them a 'no' again for some-hundredth time, and with the same reason, "That series don't have a mecha". Then the chat goes on like in movies.... It's almost like a fight, they said "figmas have better articulations" and I'm still with the "They still don't have a mecha" :D It goes on for some minutes, telling figma have better joints than Revoltechs or some plamos, until they showed me Drossel. That makes me went "What?! You have one?! Why don't you ever told me?!"
They got a spot on me, and said "So you actually DO wants one..."
Well, it's true, I was looking for drossel for some times, just out of curiosity. They don't believe and seems to be in a little shock that the Drossel strategy didn't stuck to me.
And then one day, the figma series slapped me out of that "No mecha" mind-thingy.
I see this figma Aigis in Hobby Search, and it stuck on me right away....
Now I can't wait for October and get my first figma, Aigis :D
You almost got the same reason like mine.
I saw people collecting Figma, but articulate human figure kinda ugly for me. So I decided not to pay attention on figma (Danny really tempting me to get one because of his Figma Theater post :D) .
Then I found Drossel anime, when watching this anime, I said to my self "if Drossel released in Figma line up, I will buy it!"
And few months later, it does released! But the bad thing is, the money I needed to pre-order Drossel still not available.
Everything already late when I eventually got the money, trying everywhere, and it all sold out. Trying to peek on ebay, all I got is "OMG jacked-up-price" result >.<
So when I saw Aegis pre order is available, I go pre-order it right away!
I hope the other robot in Persona, forgot the name also planned in Figma line up too ^_^
I think Drossel will definitely get a couple runs, if that helps any. :P She's been unexpectedly popular, though they might wait and see how the winter special edition does first.
The only problem is licensing rights from Disney -_-
Well, that's what I thought the first time I see Fraulein series from Revoltech.
The joints seems too huge for them ><
Then I see figma, at that time, have smaller joints than the Frauleins.
But the shopkeeper told me, "Until now, I've never seen any mecha released from the figma. They only focused to man-size, it seems" and my interest dimmed down.
And then for the first interest, it was Drossel who take my interest, not for long, though. And now, it's Aigis. Just take a look at it~
I've been hanging on with Revoltech for quite some time, but something like Aigis, I've never seen something like so~
Same here with me. I was interested in Figmas when they first came out, but I didn't think the joints fit well. But when Drossel came out, she looked perfect as a figma and I just had to have her. Aegis looks perfect as well, I hope she turns out as good as Drossel did.
I was a bit biased the first time too that i was all in for Revoltech products but when i won a giveaway at DC.com and received my first ever FIGMA, almost all my purchases involved a FIGMA line. Overall, articulations are indeed better in FIGMA but as a collector, i won't restrict myself anymore to one line.
I collect Revoltech products under FRAULEIN line (picky with characters)
and I collect FIGMA for characters and series titles. (picky too).
October? aw, i have to wait till December to get my pre-ordered one....
I asked one of my trusted store to reserve one for me when Aigis arrives on October^^
Maybe you can try to do so in one of your stores?
Hmm, I really love how the Aigis figma looks, both her and Drossel have the most unobtrusive joints. As far as the others, once you actually get one in your hands, the joints are irrelevant you wont notice them anymore.
Well, in fact, I think the joints are made to support their look.
Imagine if they have a different kind of joint, especially for Drossel.
So Aigis and Drossel, I think, got the perfection in their joints' features^^
Now I wonder when will figma Kos-Mos going to be existed~? XD
Yeah does a Figma Kos-Mos existed?
No more money to buy this figma anymore.:(
Rumours does exist.
But I still don't know who's the one that will release her.
There's actually a company that have already released the sample in one of the recent past events, but I don't remember which one ><;
Aigis really is gorgeous, isn't she? I have her ordered! October October October!!
Aigis look cool... And the details looks cool ^+^
