Hachikuji Mayoi figma by Max Factory
Today I will present you one of my rare figma reviews. It’s old news that Im no big figma collector,
but when I really like a certain figma, I won’t hesitate to buy it. So here we have figma number 105,
Hachikuji Mayoi from the ultra cool Bakemonogatari universe. I aways liked her funny,
lively and cute character in this anime and I already bought a scaled figure of her.
This figma was made by Max Factory, as elementary schoolgirl she only measures 12cm ^-^
Hachikuji Mayoi has many accessoires in her box, aside from the obligatory three faces, the set of hands and the figma base, there are also parts included like the backpack, an closed umbrella, an open umbrella and a second lower body called “shiftbody” which puts her into a cower pose.
Hachikuji wears her normal school uniform, sculpting and painting on it are very accurate, it resembles the look from the anime very well, especially the friendly face with the open eyes is great.
Honestly, the face with it’s deep eyes, the lovely blushmarks as well the typical for Max Factory black lined mouth give Hachikuji Mayoi a nicely detailed and lively appearance.
Also other details like the hairband, the green ribbons, the bracelet, the cherry on her skirt, the band aid and even the snail pattern under her shoes are accurately based on her character.
The backpack also has all the details we know from the show, there a small straps where Hachikuji can put her arms through, at the inside is a moveable peg who fits into the back of the figma.
The posing ability is very good, the joints stay in place after being put into position. Because of the small size, the joints don’t stick out too much.
A funny part are the ball jointed twintails^^. Everything is very tiny, I was a bit scared of breaking something, please handle her with care.
You can display Hachikuji with or without the backpack, it is quite heavy and so you need to use the base, or the figma will fall over.
There are two holes where the figma base can be put into.
You can have a lot of fun with the Hachikuji Mayoi figma, the different kinds of accessoires gives you a lot of stuff to play around with, the open umbrella for example is a beautiful item, it looks so adorable when she is holding it, you can also use it with other figmas
The level of detail at such a tiny 12cm figma are remarkable.
The posing works well like with most other figmas, but the small size increases the cuteness of this one.
The included accessoires will give you a lot of display possibilities, the umbrella and the “shiftbody” parts are my personal favorites.
nice review!
