Good Smile Hatsune Miku: Figma 2.0 Action Figure

Arrived 2 days early, and the packaging was surprisingly undamaged! The figure itself is great. The sculpting is high quality, especially the pigtails. Good detail, vibrant colors. certain parts like the clothing and leggings have a gloss finish, and the skin and hair have a smooth and very fine matte finish. The hair fades to transparent plastic at the edges, which was a really cool touch. The graphics on the sleeves and skirt are amazingly done. There are one or two negligible dings in the paint, but they are incredibly hard to see. The accessories are plentiful. The mic is removable from the stand, and the guitar is very detailed. She comes with two additional facial expressions, and an extra 6 pairs of hands! The wings have a very nice frost white to clear fade. As the reviews point out, they are quite delicate, so I highly recommend storing them in the plastic blister packaging they came in when they are not in use. Like all figmas, she comes with a clear articulated display stand (I also collect Gundams, which don't come with stands, so this is a big plus). As for joints, she is very flexible. I have an older figma Link and he is nowhere near as articulate as Miku. He is also a bit shorter then her by around 1-1.5 cm (eye guessing). The waist area is made of flexible plastic, and the skirt (which is also flexible) is actually split down the middle so you can raise her legs without tilting the entire skirt. The split in the skirt is excellently camouflaged, and I didn't even notice it until I was inspecting her. The shoulder joints may appear awkward, but from a distance or at a glance, they don't stick out too much. Miku does have bare shoulders, so this is expected.As with these kinds of figures, very cautious handling is advised. They are high quality products, but not designed to be durable. As such, I would never consider this as a toy for a child. The most fragile points on this figure, as well as the biggest faults, are the wrist joints. They connect the hands to the arms, but they are very small and will definitely break if not handled with care. No extra joints are included, so if you lose one, your options are quite limited. If you are new to figmas or figures in general, closely study the joints and which direction they can rotate in before you start bending them in random directions. Looks can deceive, but these joints are NOT ball-and-socket joints. This is especially for the pigtail joints. They are actually more like sphere-shaped hinges, so don't bend them in the wrong direction, or they can break. There are subtle grooves on the joints which indicate what direction they will bend in, so take note of that.PROS:-Great sculpt and paint job, nothing short of GSC's high standards-Plenty of accessories and optional parts-Articulation is massively improved over Miku 1.0 and allows more human-like poses-Comes with a stand-Overall very cute-Instruction manual, although in Japanese, is greatly illustrated, so no reading necessaryCONS:-Wrist joints are fragile and no extras are included-Shoulder joints may appear off-putting to some-Not suitable for small children and minors (even the box says the recommended minimum age is 15)OVERALL:Awesome figure, if you want to get into collecting figure or are just a big Miku fan in general, then this is a great item to have. DO NOT GIVE TO SMALL KIDS!!!Also, beware of bootlegs!!! I'm not sure if any exist on Amazon, but it's definitely a possibility. Make sure the seller is very trustworthy and has high ratings. If the price is extremely marked down and listed as new, then it might be a bootleg. Bootlegs are very crappy in comparison to the original, so avoid them at all costs!!!

I received Miku in the mail today and am very pleased. She's adorable! The new figma bodies' shoulder joints jut out a bit, but, it's easy to hide through careful posing. Miku is very fragile, so I wouldn't recommend her for young children, as although she is meant to be posed and has wonderful articulation she is not a toy and breaks easily. Thankfully, she has not broken on me and seems to be quite durable.She comes with a pair of angelic wings, a guitar, a mic stand and microphone, a rack of hands, two exchangeable faces (not including her default face), a figma stand, and a ziplock bag to place all the little parts in.Anyway, I highly recommend her, but, as a warning ahead of time, the new figma hands require a balljoint which allows for better posing, however, there are only two (one for each hand) and it is extremely difficult to tell which is which, as well as to pop them into her sleeves.Overall, she is a great edition to any Vocaloid fan or figma collector's collection and I am definitely looking forward to the future.

I love my Miku 2.0 figma so much! ;u; She's cute, the paint job is great, and her joint movements are great and more advanced than before. This is the second figma that I've recieved. She looks greats next to my other one. ^^ Even though it's pointed out in many other reviews, the new figma hands have a joint piece by itself. So, if you lose that joint piece, you can't put hands on her anymore, except for the ones that are used to make her sit down (you can still swap hands from previous figmas though). Also, the new figma is a tiny bit more taller and bigger than the first figma models. There are two joints on her chest, which allows her to bend backwards or forward more easier than before. Also, her shoulder joints are more noticable. Other than those things, there's really no way to tell the difference between the two just by looking at it. Overall, I absolutely love it, she's easy to pose, and I love the new figma design. Not to mention that the price was fair for it's quality. Get yourself one if you love Miku or collecting figmas.

I bought it because it was too damn cute, but there are many tiny pieces that are really tedious and annoying to pose, like it triggers OCD or something, I don't know. And I don't know where to put it or what to do with it, so it just sits somewhere looking the same forever, so I always feel obligated to do something with it, but I don't have any ideas or motivation. I guess figmas aren't for me. I bought a plush afterwards, best $30 spent, it's soft and fluffy and I pet and hug it all the time. These are the only two fan/merch things I've ever bought so, I found out the hard way what's right for me.Anyway, it's good quality, precise painting. Only complaint is that the pins and holes aren't a super fit, I had trouble re-inserting a hair joint once and had to chamfer the edges to get it back in. And the pin for the stand doesn't fit nicely and doesn't go in all the way.

To start, my Miku figurine came in on Miku's birthday--so that was pretty cool! I liked the timing haha.Came in great condition with no harm to the packaging. The figurine itself took some time to move around and pose, as her body posture is a bit odd and slouched looking. But with careful posing she looks great! Love all the little extras she comes with--gives a lot of options! Just be careful with the wings--mine snapped in half when I took them off of the stand. Nothing some good glue can fix, but still, they are VERY fragile and should be handled with care!
