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!

Figma Nyaruko Headswaps

As the title suggests, Nyaruko is a really great figma for head-swaps. She's got funny expressions and her head is decently sized.








NSFW WARNING 








Thanks for dropping by!

Random: Best of May Photos

I'm not dead, though I might as well be on this blog. I thought I'd upload some pictures I took last month that seemed noticeably perverse, funny or stood out. NSFW photos may be ahead, view at your own discretion.










I'll post some more soon!

New Figure First Impressions/Review Figma #259 Eli Ayase Runs the Show!

I got a new figure recently. After loving the anime Love Live School Idol Project I picked up a figma of Eli Ayase, 3rd Year school Idol from the show. I didn't like her that much from the anime, but after some doujinshi/spinoff mangas she quickly became one of my favorites.


I'm going to follow the same model as with Ika and Nyaruko. I don't want to think too hard so please just enjoy the photos/review.


Accessories: 

Eli comes with:
  • 2 faces
  • 2 sets of hand racks!
  • A Hamburger and Wrapper
  • 2 small poles (I don't remember the correct term)
  • A school bag
  • Standard Figma Stand 





Eli's most impressive accessories are her tons of hands. She comes with designs I had never seen before, which really makes her stand out.



Accessories: 8 of 10

Faces/Expressions: 

I didn't get the exclusive Eli face (which is a practice I really don't agree with). So mine came with a winking flirting smile and a pouting annoyed expression. 


Winking Face


Pouting Face

As usual I judge figures on their range of emotions derived from their faces. Eli can be both happy and angry this is enough for me. I think her expressions are very cute and also very exploitable...

Faces/Expressions: 8 of 10 

Playability:

I did mention exploiting her faces right? Well you know how this goes (some NSFW pictures to follow). 



Eli meets a fan of Muse. How will this encounter go?






In a totally unrelated story, Eli steps in to save Mami from Egashira (and offer a productive change of pace) 







Ika decides to abduct Eli in order to support her invasion!







So yeah, I had a lot of fun messing around with Eli. She's very cute and useful as a character for your desk.

Playability: 8 of 10

Staying Power:


I have no idea if I'll still like Eli this much in say 4 months. She's a school girl (technically an idol, but...) so there's a possibility I'll get bored of her like the many Haruhi figmas I've left in storage. That being said what Eli has going for her is that she has a lot of hands which allow her to be posed in many types of ways. Also I can tell that the quality figmas has improved since said haruhi figmas from 5+ years ago. The mere fact that Eli feels so new to me only makes me like her even more. 

Staying Power: ?

Collection Utility:


Eli as aforementioned looks like a simple school girl. If you hadn't seen the show you would never think that she's an idol. Now if you're a fan of Love Live, then you'll love this figure. She's really cute and really fun. 

Collection Utility: 7 of 10
