Way. Too. Cute.

People have died from less cuteness.

Ah, Alter's Azusa is really cute... but that base REALLY puts me off. I'm really not sure if I want it or not. :/

I am liking the figma, though.

That Mio figure is well within the accepted price range for a 1/8th scale.

Mega House is one of the few who delivers both quality and a nice price. Bomé's PVC figures look slightly less better, but their prices are fair too. I just find 8000 yen for a fan favorite character in the most overrated fan favorite costume way overpriced, especially since she will probably have nothing extra.

3000 yen for a Figma? Shit, that is pretty fucking outrageous when you think about it and look at Revoltech's line. Most of the Yamaguchi and Hokuto no Ken line look really well done for action figures, not to mention anatomically accurate. When I see some Figma pictures, they just looks weird. They can barely stand straight without their crane arm and their limbs look weird.

HANDS OFF. SHE'S MINE.

P.S It looks more like an Ibanez GTX-140 to me.

I really hope the Alter's Azusa figure base that you see here is only used for this occasion (and that the final base will be one similar to that of Alter's Mio figure).

...And get ready to fight among other people for figma preorders again...

'Most' cost around that price, but they are non scale and low quality figures. Like I said 1/8 scale figures cost 6k - 10k depending on quality, with 'most' costing around 7k.

'Hentai' figures, don't cost more because of nudity and poses, they cost more because of detail and limited stock. Even figures that can be 'cast off' for nudity don't cost a whole lot more.

This Mio figure also costs 8k because its a limited edition figure.

Something cute from the figma blog




Man makes it hard to resist not to buy Ui just for the extra hands of Yui.

Spoiler for Ritsu:

You must really be blind if you really think Mega House is low quality.

Is Megahouse famous for high quality figures? No.

Are average Megahouse figures limited edition? No. The last Megahouse limited ed figure I saw costs 8k yen as well.

The top 3 figure companies, Goodsmile, Max Factory and Alter have their normal price range going from 6k - 10k. Their high quality figures go from 10k all the way to 18k. They don't make 'hentai' figures, though some of them comes with cast off.

EDIT: Oh wait, that link wasn't the limited ed version, no wonder it only costs 8k yen. The limited ed version costs 9450 yen.

Well yeah I think such prices are outrageous but that doesn't take away the fact that the figma line can cost that much (it's actually 2,500 yen average). Getting one for that price isn't such a bad deal if you ask most collectors. I like some of revoltechs releases but not all so even with a standard pricing I would argue how some are "overrated" and "overpriced".

It all comes down to taste and personal standards when we think of how much a product should be valued. My main argument is that this product is being sold within the basic price range for these stuff. There may be cheaper alternatives but a fair number of similar scale figures are sold for 8000 and above as well. For a better feel of whether this Mio is overpriced, just search around on how much the other Mio 1/8s are going to be sold.

PS.
Calling her overrated is a moot point considering how figures are essentially made for collectors - who would normally collect characters that they rate very high...
