Oooooh that's a legit scary message, because you can just TELL it applies to Homura.
...Not that its going to stop me from pre-ordering.

Hikage's face sure is... something there. Homura looks pretty great at least! Not the kind of figure I'd want to own but still pretty rad.

Yeah, Hikage's is, well, "quality."

First I saw Homura's face and was like... YES! FINALLY A NEW FIGURE! But then I saw the full image and... man, is awful. And leanmeanlovinmachine, It IS a garage kit, both of them, but prepainted and being sold by some company. Originally they were garage kit. My kingdom for a good Homura figure : (

Whats so bad about the Homura one? From a quick glance, it could use a mildly better paintjob, and thats it.

Well.. For me, at least, I prefer a figure were she wears her own clothes (pre-SV or post, I don't care) and not... those.
What's more, the painting is bad, too, and from what I have seen and read the material isn't good neither.
So... almost everything is bad about that Homura figure.

You can't really say everything is bad when you admit one of those things is just your preference. I think the outfit looks rad as hell. The paintjob isnt terrible, though it could be better. The fact that its brittle is the big if factor for me.

I'm telling you why I say that the figure is bad (and I said ALMOST, not everything xD). But I said what's only my opinion (clothes) and what's bad about the figure itself (painting, material).

I feel like the solution to the brittle material should just be obvious, better packaging. The paint isn't perfect, but it still looks nice enough imo. Maybe I'm just missing the big flaws.

The painting, the material, the faces, the clothes especially.
AND they are asking for 125+ dollars for them on amiami LOL. I just bought the Alter Asuka which is one of the best SK figures so far for $140. I'm no figure expert but I feel insulted.

I dont have a problem with the clothes, but I can def agree its overpriced, especially since they state the super high risk of it breaking... Face seems pretty cool to me.

I just feel angry and insulted they are asking for that much for things that look just like garage kits.
I just preordered both Makoto and Takane figures. I'm hovering around whether to get Hibari's figure too, the new ass one.

Angry and insulted? Its nearly a foot tall, low in number, and polystone. Price sounds about right, though risky since it may break in the mail.
