Which One Should I Buy?

Have been hesitating and procrastinating whether i should buy BRS nendo and figma, because danny choo keep tempting me with their photos. The problem here is that i already ordered 1/8 BRS anime version and finding BRS original (cannon) version released last year restocked at my place. It was nominated one of the best figures last year and I kinda wanted to grab the opportunity and reserve that figure, and buy it in August. If I pick up figma and nendo soon, that means from zero BRS figures, i will acquire 4 BRS figures by year end... =.= I'm impatient i guess, although i could have waited for the BRS original version a bit longer since it will be re-released. I'm picking the PVC over nendo+figma. Suggestions? >.<

    The figma + nendo, why because you can move them around, the quality is highly going to be good.
    well it all depends wether or not you are willing to spend. the price is reasonable actually and plus these are more sure going to be sold out the minute its released then the price will be ridicoulous in places like ebay for example.
    (note im figma collector)

    Nendoroid, if you are getting PVC since figmas are very silmilar to PVC except articulation and some accessories...

    Before I found a nice figma+nendo deal (expired already unfortunately), I was only going to get the Figma. I've cancelled all my BRS PVCs every time I ordered one of them. Mostly because of the cost.

    Honestly, it's up to what you prefer.
    Do you like playing with your figmas and nendoroids? like posing them in different positions, etc.
    If you are like me( figure collector) I just like to display them and enjoy it enough just by looking at them^^"

    Nendo for the cutness, but I'll share a small personal insight of mine regarding the Figma.

    I love Figma's and have quite a few, but once I've initially posed them I realy don't play around with them and swap accessories so they are displayed more like PvC's in the end.

    So in the emd I'd get the nendo and stick to the PvC's.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I usually decide at the last minute - 5 or 10 minutes before clicking "order" or "buy" online... although i never regretted buying on impulse before.

    I'd go for the PVC since they're way more detailed but still somehow go for the nendo and figma since they're poseables. In the end its whichever one that floats your boat more you should get.

      And PVC's are no fun, imo. "Set and forget it". You can always go back to posing and playing with the nendo and figma.

    none of the above! save your wallet~ or just get the PVC figure, they are better for displaying in your room/workspace.

    I'd suggest getting both and canceling the PVC, but then again that depends on what you like. If you like figmas and like to pose them, then get these two. If you like high quality and beautiful sculpting, stay with the canon and anime PVC versions.

    If you seriously have to choose between either or, I'd stick with the PVCs to be honest, although that really depends on what type of collector you are. Do you like to take nendo/figma photo shoots? Or do you just admire your figures?

    I say this because while I do have some nendo and figma, I don't really play with them much. I just find the expression and pose I like and they pretty much stay that way forever lmao. On the other hand, if you do like to play with them, or do lots of photo shoots, figma and/or nendo might be better for you.

    If it were between nendo and figma only, I'd go with figma. I actually like them more than I do nendos, but nendos tend to come out quicker and in more characters I like than figma does. ^^;

    Here is an idea. Flip a coin. If it's heads, get the figma. If it's tails get the Nendoroid. If you were unhappy with the outcome of the coin toss, you must have really wanted the other outcome.

    Durr that's quite the choice you have there, but if I were you, I'd get the Figma, just because its more pose able then the Nendoroid.

    It's a shame you can't just get them both, I on the other hand, am getting another BRS original ver. 2x BRS Ani ver. 2x DM original ver, and 2-5x BRS figmas, and 2x BRS nendo, and 1x BRS charm.

      My current choice is figma+nendo together or PVC original version alone for August loot. I already ordered the PVC anime version and that is a must buy for me. It'd be best if i could snap up all of them... I've spent too much during summer...

        Hmm, then I'd guess its really up to you, but if that's how it is I'd get the nendo+figma anyhow, since there will(?) be a re:release of the original BRS unless your getting Dead Master as well, then I suppose you'd have a hard time choosing between the PVC and nendo+figma, cause IMO dead master alone doesn't look as great as it could be unless you have the original BRS with her.

    I pre-ordered both and going to get a second set. I also love BRS but couldn't get the cannon ver. when it was released so I had to pay the ridiculous mark up of $200 but it was all worth it :D

    If you have the money or credit card available, buy everything. Then, choose your favorites after have them "in real flesh" and sell what you don't want.
