Keeping a Promise (End of 2016 Post)

I said I'd review all the figures I owned this year. Obviously I didn't come remotely close.

So some takeaways

I really do love these figures so I couldn't give any of them a really bad score. Figure a 6 means I found problems with the figure that hindered my enjoyment of it whereas a 10 means there was nothing that interfered. 

Anyway, I hope to post more in 2017. Here's to more funny figure photos to come. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

S.H. Figuarts Momo Figure Review

What an actual figure review? I never do those. Nah I normally just don't think to do these, but I really love this figure and she's relatively budget so I thought I'd talk about her and provide some pictures. A few are NSFW, but compared to my usual its tame.

Here's a somewhat random picture of Momo lounging to start things off. As you hopefully know (otherwise why open the link) she's the 3rd princess of the Deviluke family from the anime To Love Ru Darkness (technically To Love Ru, but she gains importance in the later series). 

Accessories: 

Momo comes pretty light in terms of accessories I have to admit. She has:

2 additional faceplates

6 hands

Her super-powered cellphone

A vine

Specialized stand (you know I'm desperate when I'm calling this an accessory!)

As I'll get to later I really like Momo's faces and obviously I'm biased as a fan of her character. That being said she really comes with next to nothing...

Here's an example picture of Momo wielding her vine. I don't think she ever did this in the manga or the anime she usually just spawned them with her phone. -___-

Here's an on-point accessory. Momo definitely uses her phone a lot to summons plants to fight for her. One of her hands has been sculpted to hold it perfectly. 

Some of her extra hands.

Oh boy the stand. It does look nice to be fair.

That being said 2 real accessories is nowhere near a passing grade here.

Accessories: 5 out of 10 

Faces:

Momo has 3 faces:

A normal smiling face

A blushing/aroused face

and a weakened/sleeping/expecting a kiss expression

So for full disclosure, back when I was far younger and much more impulsive I bought this figure just because I liked the pervy smiling face. I would only later realize that it portrays the face Momo makes when she starts fantasizing about Rito or the harem plan. As such I like the face even more now. Her smile is cute and her 3rd expression is decent if you want to pose her troubled by something (or someone).

Faces: 9 of 10

Playability: 

I should admit that as a huge fan of Momo Deviluke I use this figure a lot for posing. I never get tired of the potential pervy adventures Momo can have in her quest to grow Rito's harem.

For example:

And these are only my recent pictures of her in random weird situations. The amount of roles I've used her for is numerous. I find her very fun to play with.

Playability: 9 of 10

Collection Utility/Staying Power:

I guess it shouldn't be hard to guess my verdicts on the last 2 arbitrary categories. This figure is great for To Love Ru fans and pretty much below average for anyone else. I love it and still take pictures of it to this day, because I'm a big fan of Momo. If you are too then I fully recommend this figure. Otherwise you can get a lot better figures even for her low price (I think she still goes for $30-40 maybe lower). 

Collection Utility/Staying Power: 10 of 10 

This never even happened in the show/manga and yet is an advertised way to pose the figures together? I don't get it, but tying up Yami is always nice so I'll let it slide.

Thanks for surviving my flood of overt favoritism. 

See you next time! 

Figuarts x Figma: Golden Darkness Flesh Archetype

So as the title should allude to, this is yet another NFSW post. I don't mean for all my posts to be like this, but honestly I need them to be somewhat pervy for me to relieve stress (which is the name of the game). So I messed around trying out the flesh color figma she archetype and found that S.H. Figuarts Yami's head fits on it really well.

"Hey what are you?!"

Like better than her actual body well hehe. So now let's get started with a modest gallery/omake...

Momo gets Yami her favorite snack to calm her down.

Nom nom nom

"Hey stop looking at me! I hate perverts!"

"Urk!"

"Stop looking at me!"

"Errrr"

*Side view

"I'm make you pay-"

"Ahh...noo..it's...so..slimy..." x_x

(Throwback to the pipe cleaner tentacle)

"You're dead now mate!"

Yep that's it for me lol

Thanks for dropping by!

*Yami then proceeds to kick my ass without remorse

Figure Tips & Ideas: Easy Tentacle Prop

I got bored and decided to throw together this quick series of pictures. Have you ever wanted a tentacle monster for your desk? I know I do, but I don't want to either look up how to get one or to drop a lot of money on such a figure. In the meantime I used the following tricks to bind my figures.

Quite the predicament caused by a simple pipe cleaner. You can pick these up at pretty easily in the crafts section of general stores. This stuff is pretty easy to come by and also works well in wrapping up your figures. I started using this stuff after having trouble with S.H. Figuarts Momo's vine prop.

The box shows that you can use her vine to tie up the S.H. Figuarts Yami figure. However in my experience Momo's vine is too short and not flexible enough to actually wrap around Yami.

I've tried to pose them like the box for a long time and this is still the best I can do (without trying too hard). In comparison it's really easy to wrap up Yami (on any figure for that matter) with the longer and more malleable pipe cleaner. 

That's the stuff. You can do alot of weird stuff with pipe cleaners. That's all for today. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you got a chuckle and some prop ideas :D
