They fixed the legs but......

You know, I expect people to question the quality that GSC is presenting us on that Ultimate Madoka figure.

It's a display piece at Shanghai and under locks and keys, yet somehow the parts manage to fall off. Does not bode well for the mass production version, you know. And they expect us to pay 14,000 yen for that kind of standard ? If I'm paying that kind of money for it, I know I will never take it out of box.

Yeah, not a stellar moment for GSC. Figures like we've seen in the last few years that appear to defy gravity absolutely HAVE to have outstanding tolerances and good engineering design.

I assume (or rather, hope) that GSC takes notes of this and do their best to improve the figure when they ship it. It would be a shame if (one of) their most hyped figures turns out to be a major disappointment.

Well, if you are planning on hauling your Ultimate Madoka from store to store, through customs, in and out of cars, trucks, trains, untold number of kilometers, un-packing and assembling her each time, and then disassembling and repacking probably within less than 48 hours... you should take extra caution as to not damage her.

Not to mention, it is a prototype, not even a pre-production sample, it's probably considerably more delicate that the final PVC run, so unless you are going to parade her around to all your extended family and casual acquaintances, I wouldn't worry too much about her falling apart.

Hey, ive had my eye on these k-on special quality banpresto figures, i notice that theyre not that expensive at around £30 each or so, but i was just wondering if anyone knows how long they are going to be produced for (or how long long other figure lines are usually produced for) and if anyone knows/has an estimate of how much they will go up by when they are no longer being produced as i want to buy them but i have lots of things i want to buy ^_^ gotta prioritize my things hehe :P

Also if anyone has the different k-on figures which ones are best? Mobip/Figma/banpresto special quality

Thanks, James

Revan21 · 2012-06-28, 13:40

You mean for how long are they available in online stores for the original price?
The SQ figures tend to completely sell out within one or two months after being released. In case of K-ON, they might even sell out during pre-order period.

After that, there's no telling how much their price will go up once you're forced to buy them second hand on auction sites. If it wasn't that popular, you might find it on the original price.

As for quality, mobip and figma are more like toys and their quality is not that great. Banpresto is decent if you want an immovable statue of the character for a low price,
but the Alter-versions are much better

Snow Miku nendo 2012 ver has been delayed

jimbob1141 · 2012-06-28, 14:17

yeah thats what i meant thankyou, thanks for the heads up, seems ban presto is definitely what im looking for, alter is great but far too expensive for me at present :P they are atill around £30 at the moment for ritsu, yui and mio and if i recall correctly mugi and azusa havent been released yet :P thanks for the info very helpful
