Figma #303 Review Figma Prinz Eugen will likely conquer all

When I actually post I do it in droves it seems. Here's the third post and hopefully the best one of the the day. Here's a review of the fancy Kantai Collection figma Prinz Eugen!

(Yeah I don't even remember my normal routine anymore so let's just jump right into it)

Box:

In Packaging

Faces/Expressions:

First is Eugen's default smiling/looking off to the side face. It's cute (I didn't get the bonus smiling face due to college student poverty so that's unfortunate).

Second, here's her embarrassed/looking off to the other side face (noticing a theme here?) I love this face, it's soo cute xD

Lastly, is her angry/"I'm killing you!" face. I went with this last since we're going to move onto her accessories (aka the thing on her back next). I think her faces are all adorable. They are some of highest quality expressions I've seen on a figma in ages. She has a basic range of emotion (hitting happiness, anger and sadness). This figma is an A+ in this category.

Faces/Expressions: 10 of 10

Accessories:

So if you know what Kantai Collection is (and I know you do since you found your way here) you know that each figure comes with attachments to allow them to fight as boats. Eugen is no exception sporting a huge and still ridiculously easy to attach... uh artillery? 

 Here's Eugen with her artillery and her hand-gun/blaster thing equipped.

 Back-view

Side view

She also comes with a separate pair of bangs to pose her without her hat.

So I find the boat part actually alot of fun to screw around with. The artillery plugs into a hole (pretty much above her butt) that allows you to attach her back part easily. The boat needs her figma stand to keep her from falling over, but it's not a real hindrance. If you came here for boat girls/guns you won't be saddened. Her cannons are slightly articulated also. I'm scared to try to move them too much though. Oh yeah, she comes with a standard hand rack too (white gloves tho). 

Accessories: 9 of 10

Playability/Screwing Around:

Oh boy, I've been waiting for this part. I'm not much for Nendoroids, but when it comes to figmas my madness takes hold.

Eugen's back cannons look great with things attached to them (in this case I attached the S.H. Fire effects to her)

Time to crush the allies! (oh gosh I'm going to hell again...) 

 Or maybe the Japanese? Either way Eugen is about to wreck Naka!

As expected Eugen wins easily

.

...

But what if Eugen got goofed?

 Things are looking dicey for the German fleet!

I guess this is her "damaged" pose if anything.

But if you thought that was screwing around, you haven't seen anything yet!

 Eugen has already beaten her Kantai enemies, but can she hold her own against ordinary people?!

Possibly not, as a perverted fortune teller starts trying to adjust her frontal cavity.  

The situation grows worse as a strange foreigner offers her a sudden "maintenance check"

This is where things get momentarily NSFW 

OK

I 

warned 

you

I know this looks pretty bad, but this shot is good because it shows the hole that plugs into her artillery. Also technically speaking Egashira is shoving it into a cute, but dangerous killing machine so he's likely dead.

"Um, excuse me? Can we get a move on? I have shit to do!"

Oh she seems bored. We better finish things up. Though I could do this forever (and I might lol). Sincerely, I had a lot of fun posing her in as many ways as I could think of. It was consistently fun.

Playability/Screwing Around: 10 of 10

Collection Utility/Staying Power:

"You messed up my inner mechanisms you bastard!"

Prinz Eugen is my only Kantai figma so she stands out sitting on my desk cannons at the ready. I truly like the way she looks. As a boat monster she provides a unique spice to the collection. As for her staying power though, having a boat girl figure is a new thing so I have no clue if I'll feel this way in a year...

Wow this section sucks since I always review stuff right after I get it. Thus, I end up saying the same thing every time...

Uh oh, I'm getting too meta again, better post more lewd boat pics.

Wait that's not lewd, she's just about to add stabbing to her list of war crimes...

Why have I done this...

Staying Power/Collection Utility: Probably 10 of 10

Final Thoughts:

*Drink away the cringe

What the heck man? First you post 3 reviews in one day (2 of which you had no clue what you were doing) and now you're messing up your own crummy formula?

There's the reason for this...

"But he told me I could make my wish come true!"

This figma actually feels good, like high quality. I'm very satisfied with it despite the much higher price. She's got great faces, a cool gimmick and she looks great with random old accessories. I've been posing her doing everything from drinking to stabbing to murdering. Eugen is a great figure and I wouldn't say that about most figmas. She's like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise still world of figures. I think they tried hard with this one and actually succeeded. 

Ok so I'm likely to post a deluge of Eugen pictures either here or on MFC over the course of the next few weeks because she's that awesome. If you like Kantai Collection (and can resist crying over spending $70+ on a gosh darn figma) then I recommend her completely. Great figure, 10 of 10.

Thanks for dropping by.

Nendoroid #183 Review Mami Tomoe won't lose her head over this!

You can't just post a ton randomly every couple months!

Wait what? That's all I have though. I just build up a metric ton of figures and then cycle through multiple reviews (and dump a bunch of photos on MFC). Alright let's keep this going internet ppl!

Spoilers I guess? This show is old as heck now :/

Mami wants her baby :3

Direct Comparison (Sort of)

Faces/Expressions:

 Here's Mami's default Smiling face, it looks similar to the figma's face.

 Second is Mami's angry face. She's soo cute when she's mad!

And lastly is her "deer in headlights" I guess I'm going to not move and die face

These faces are great. They give a range of emotion and reflect pretty much all the emotions she lived to make during her brief existence.

Faces: 10 of 10

Accessories:

 Mami comes with 4 guns (but somehow only 3 stubs to plug into her stand!). There is a hand to attach the gun to her hand, but I never got around to attaching it.

 Mami comes with a full teacup and plate. It wouldn't be Mami without tea!

Her huge cannon used for her Tiro Finale attack is also included! I might've put it on wrong though lol.

I guess technically Charlotte is Mami's accessory too. Once you get over how awful this is, it becomes somewhat cute...

I feel dead inside...

But yeah overall her accessories are great. They speak to the character and let you pose her in many relevant scenes...

Accessories: 10 of 10

Playability/Screwing Around:

Oh crud there are 2 Charlottes now! I'm certain 2 Mamis will be enough to handle this!

Or not...

xD

Once you overcome how awful a person you are to be amused by this, the Mami nendoroid is alot of fun...

Gosh I'm a terrible person.

Playability/Screwing Around: 9 of 10

Collection Utility:

When you're a Mami fan like me (I bet you believe that right?) having a little Charlotte to threaten her with is very fun. I was eager to get the Nendoroid just to have the Charlotte accessory. I don't mean to say I got the Nendoroid for parts, but...

Anyways, like all Nendoroids, she can look cute just chilling on your desk.

Collection Utility: 9 of 10

Staying Power:

 While this is hideous, this will likely amuse me forever. Mami is bae, she's best girl and lovable. She should be protected...

Being Mami is suffering...

Staying Power: 10 of 10

This Nendoroid is great and cheap. If you like Mami it's a nice pickup.

Nendoroid #663 Re:Zero Rem got dumped and will kill us all

I'll never die, I'll also likely never post with any real frequency. For this reason I apologize. Anyway, here's a review/first impressions on this Nendoroid Rem I got a month ago.

This is my 2nd Nendoroid (the first being Monokuma). I am still getting used to these figures so I don't know if my normal parameters even apply. That being said I assume you just came here to look at pictures of toys so let's just get started.

Box:

Front

Back

Just opened/In Packaging 

Faces/Expressions:

Here's Rem default: Confused/Whispering Face

This is Rem's happy smiling face (All that is good in this world)

Lastly we have her insane/scarily happy expression

Her expressions are very cute and I love them! Rem can display a decent range of emotion, which is all I generally ask for. I would've liked a generic angry face over the crazy smile though. 

Faces/Expressions: 9 of 10

Accessories:

Rem's first accessory is this little plate (Not sure what I expected either). I guess you could call her arms with the little clenched fist an accessory, but idk I'm spoiled by figmas and their huge hand racks.

She comes with 2 Morning Stars that I could not attach due to her arm not having the peg needed :/

I'm not sure if there is something I have to do or if it's a factory error, but I'm choosing not to worry about it. 

Her last accessories are a separate pair of bangs with her horn and an ahoge (I doubt I spelled that right). It gives her a nice new look.

Accessories are decent. I honestly don't know what else I could ask for.

Accessories: 8 of 10

Playability/Screwing Around:

I honestly don't care that much for Nendoroids. They are only good for simplistic poses like this. That being said this is pretty cute.

I don't really know what I'm doing (not with these figures or with my life...)

Playability: 7 of 10

Collection Utility:

Rem's Morning Star works well with figmas. That's about the best I can say, though weapons are always welcome. Other than that Rem just looks cute on your desk, which is honestly enough.

Collection Utility: 7 of 10

Staying Power:

I'm not sure if my love of Rem will vanish (like most of the world) after a few months, but right now I love this little Nendoroid and I hope to get the announced Rem (and Ram!) figmas whenever they finally come out. 

Staying Power: 7 of 10
