Man, I regret not pre-ordering her, since she's already sold out everywhere. Why do all the figmas I pre-order never sell out, but all the ones I don't pre-order are impossible to get... WHY?!?!?
Anyway, nice pictures, but the quality is kind of bad (grainy). You need a new camera!

Looking good, though i did notice pictures in some blogs, there are paint/production flaws here and there. My figma Black Gold Saw pissed me off - awesome ahoulder, elbow and knee joints, very stiff, but the 2 waist ball joints are freakin' loose, and she even had very visible scratches on her waist (which i removed by sanding). I stripped down the figma using force, pulling her joints apart and modified the joints tighter. =.= Recently figma has QC problem, the last best figma i had, almost no flaws when i received her MISB was Figma BRS.
If i have extra cash i'd still pick this up, just for the weapons.

Well, i did that to my BRS figma before. Wasnt really worried about breaking but it does scare me a bit, considering the amount of force needed to pull them apart despite the joints are loose. No secret techniques on how to separate the parts from my side, just use force and pull lol.
Huh. I tried to pull apart my Haruhi Figma, and the leg-peg just snapped off. How do you get a tight-enough grip? Do you use pliers or something? The plastic is pretty weak...

No no no no dont use any tools like pliers you are gonna scratch/damage the figma. I wrapped my hands with a dry cloth (preferably cotton, or cloth/rags with rough texture, not something like nylon which is smooth), which can provide you extra grip with extra friction. Then, i pull it with bare hands, wrapped in a single layer of cloth of course. Pulled quite hard. Make sure you do not twist the figure around when you pull, which may result in joints breaking (though that happens to hinge joints only like knee and elbow). Ball joints can rotate in all directions so twists are fine.
Yes, there are some minor paint flaws. Most of Kosmos's joints are pretty stiff; her waist joints feel a little bit loose . The only annoying thing is that her hair bangs fall off easily.

Thanks. Yeah, I should get a new camera.
On the other hand I kinda regret buying her and I am thinking of selling her when she comes here from Otacute.
ahh she is a thing of beauty, I'm still waiting on mine to arrive :)
You could always get one on eBay Paulzo for a fortune ha ha! Give it time (but not too much)
Urhghh... I have a feeling this one will always be expensive. Unless they do a re-issue.
There are some Figmas (like corpse princess) that never seem to go < $100 (;__; )
You just have to look hard enough. Who knows, there may be something better around the corner. Here's hoping!
Dude! Try your luck

I agree with you 100%

whoa whoa! You pulled apart her waist joint? How did you do that without breaking it???
