Love your reviews! They are so detailed and answer basically all of the questions I'd have regarding these figures. Scared to buy online though, don't wanna get ripped off
Had to comment, you created a great review. Awesome beat, nice voice articulation, and good pros and cons along with excellent camera angles! I love how you covered EVERYTHING, i am definitely gonna get Kirito and possibly my girl Asuna too! Amazing, you sir, just received a subscriber!
LoveLaugh12345 Thanks for subscribing. I try to be as in depth as possible, but time isn't always my friend! >.< I recommend getting Kirito and Asuna if you can, they're awesome!
I bought this figure for 25 bucks (since the re-release has allowed price to go down. Hope Asuna does a re-release too) and he just arrived today. I LOVE it!
I have this figure, and I LOVE it, but the swords are very fragile, and I'm too afraid forcing them into the gripping hands would break them, especially in combination with the special effect parts. Despite that, I still really like it and have found some pretty cool poses for it. :)
I had trouble getting it a day after its release, in Akihabara! I wish I had the initiative to preorder a whole bunch of them and be the one selling them at outrageous prices! ^^
Stretching out the fingers a bit to loosen them helps, not to much though or you'll distort them and make them too loose. When pushing it in make sure to hold the hilt below the visible weak point and ease it in slowly (Thats what she said!)
***** She is now, I just got an e-mail from Otaku (a website to buy figures like this) telling me of her pre-order and of the pre-order for the GGO version of Kirito :D
Hey, I’m thinking about ordering one off amazon as a Christmas gift to myself, and I checked the sellers, some of them say “Shipped from Japan” and some of them don’t. If it says “Shipped from japan”, would that mean it’s real?
Very nice and detailed figure as well as your review :)) ! Can you tell me what kind of rotating base( or whatever this base is...) you are using? I couldn't find something similiar on amazon or google :/.
I believe if the swords break you can contact figma and you can recieve replacement swords from them. I don't know if their still doing that but just a heads up. :)
somebodylwhodoesntrecordanymoarxD wow ty for that! I have just gotten into the habit of super gluing my figmas if they break..the older ones seem quite brittle.
I don't know if the official seller does that, but I do have a bootleg seller on aliexpress where I am going to buy one, he had 15 feedbacks which called it perfect, and *one* where one part was bad, but the buyer said it (hands) was immediatelly send a new one at no cost. :) It's also 12 euros, so I know which I am going to get =)
For anyone who wants this figure still. Good news! They are re releasing this figure, so you won't have to spend over 100 bucks on ebay or amazon for this figure.
Hey man can you help me with something? Usually I don't pre-order figures but i couldn't take my chances with this one, so I know it's released this month but could you tell aproximately when? I mean in which day does max factory usually releas their new figures? Cuz it just says December 2014 everywhere .-. And nice review I just got Ryuko as well :D Oh and did the sword really break? But it can be glued and done? Right?? :1
Garthur0 figma usually get released after the 20th of each month (in Japan anyway,) Yeah the sword broke! I did glue it but it will never be the same again... :D
Gaikotsu, do you know if the rerelease (which I ordered) will come in heart at box? Is it the old box or will they give him the new look for the rerelease? Hopefully you can at least reply :P doesn't matter either way, just curious.
It's a type of base made by max factory. You can check it out here: www.amazon.co.jp/stage-%E3%83%99%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF-%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2ver-ABS%E8%A3%BD%E6%B1%8E%E7%94%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%99%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9/dp/B002EAZME8/ref=sr_1_1?s=hobby&ie=UTF8&qid=1394815318&sr=1-1&keywords=di+stage
Sadly the one i got from amazon was a fake, even though it had the same box and packaging. Still good, but im pretty disappointed. The cape always fell off, so I had to superglue it. The sad face had some actual dirt smudged on it, which is unacceptable. Its good for a fake, but too bad I didnt get one like the review says.
Hey Gai! Can you give me a piece of advice? I don't know how I should put the swords into the hands without breaking them. How did you managed to put them in?
Thank you! Its called a Mr. Turntable Black L. This is the link to one on amazon /Creo-DS001-Mr-Turntable/dp/B0042VKCOC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1378480741&sr=8-10&keywords=mr.+turntable
Check the origin of the product. If it's China, Taiwan or Hong Kong then it's a high chance of a bootleg. If the product is from USA then there's a 50% chance of bootleg if it's Japan then 99 percent real
Im definitely pre ordering my Attack On Titan Figmas without a doubt, I just got into SAO and wanted a Kirito but the prices are outrageous!! AND ITS ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE!
Great review. really enjoyed watching it. I got a question: Are you familiar with any website that supports international delivery and still has some of these figmas (or nendoroids)? I'm searching FOREVER for nendoroid kirito, asuna, BRS, etc. amiami's are all sold out. I did manage to find some ebay sellers, but I'm afraid of bootlegs, and some american websites but the delivery is just too expensive. ideas? Thanks in advance.
Oz Vamosh It would be hard to find reputable websites with rarer figma that are legit, especially with oder figma. I see them around in Akiba all the time, and was actually considering starting an ebay shop to make them available to people outside of Japan, with a full guarantee that they are legit. Have you tried the online Madarake store? They sell older and pre-owned figures and are a trusted store. ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/
I have a question I hope someone can answer I preordered this figure and I was wondering how will I get this like as soon as it comes out will they ship it to me ?
Well depending on where you bought it from, was it the simle company, was it some online whatever shop, and where you are from, usually you can do a tracking of your package and they give you the estimated amount of time that it might take to get to you.. so if you are far from japan like me 3 to 4 weeks tops, and the closer you are, the less you have to wait
Thinking of getting this figure but I would like to know how to get the swords in kirito's hands I got the link one and they suggested to put the sword in hot water and then you can take the bottom off and then back on once you have the sword in hand is there a similar way of doing it or do I have to mess with the fingers at all?
I got him and I tried to make him hold his sword but I had no idea how to put it in his hand and ended up breaking the sword handle! I'm planning to super glue it later, but as for now how am I supposed to make him hold his sword? Thanks.
Does your Kirito Figma have a hard time with its stand staying in the back of the figure? Mine just won't stay no matter what, if I just slightly touch it, he will pop off of his stand. Any suggestions?
i bought mine a few days ago, and there's a problem, the sheath doesn't fit the dual holder on kirito's back. and for the one slot holder, i can;t even fit elucidator's sheath there. pls help. is this a defect, or are you guys also experiencing this? should i get it replaced? help. :(
What do you do about repair, because my dark repulsor handle broke off, I put super glue on it, it's on but it's not straight, so if there is somewhere I can go to get it repaired property, could you tell me if you know, I would really appreciate it
question 1. why is the dark repulsor blue? shouldn't the names be switched around? 2.i was watchin the episode where he meets lizbeth, and he suddenly had that new outfit and the different sword. did i miss an episode, or did he get those offscreen?
Mecha Gaikotsu I guess commissioning an artist would work out. It would have been cool to find legit sculptors though. I would ask Rooster Teeth. But I am not sure if they'd answer back. But thanks for taking your time to answer, It's much appreciated.
I tried my best to put the swords in the hands as delicate as possible, but it sadly broke apart.How do u fix the swords if they broke apart into to pieces?

Love the way you do these reviews!! You actually look at everything taking your time not just rushing :)
thanks for reviewing this figure! it is my favourite anime so far.
Conqu3rer You're more than welcome! :D
:D
I've watched this video so many times i've lost the count...
Me too!
Me three
Calling the “Dark Repulser” dragon poop just made it less awesome
dark repulser is made of dragon's poop
"over 9,000 yen" i see what you did there
*ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Love your reviews! They are so detailed and answer basically all of the questions I'd have regarding these figures. Scared to buy online though, don't wanna get ripped off
You can also get them at conventions, and I heard that they are also at warp1
It would be cool if they added a pointer finger and his player menu
They should hire you.
@@fuck_youtube_handles I agree
The added the Hand for the ggo figure but not the menu
you sound so calm in this video than nowdays I personally like excited and cheerful voice nowdays though :)
I got both Asuna and Kirito Figma figurines. They're awesome!
Wuuuuuuut i'm jealous T-T
So freaking expensive
I need them 😭😩
+xXDEMOND_GIRLXx MSP The reason why its cheap is because it used.
+xXDEMOND_GIRLXx MSP on ebay
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!! yen.
Saitama I think you may have the wrong franchise there...
Funny
i just got this figma today but i dont know how to insert the swords into his hands and im scared im going to brake it
real gamers you stole my profile picture
it's pretty easy, just carefully pull from the base of the wrist and then out. don't wrench on it if it feels like it's not gonna come out haha XD
Had to comment, you created a great review. Awesome beat, nice voice articulation, and good pros and cons along with excellent camera angles! I love how you covered EVERYTHING, i am definitely gonna get Kirito and possibly my girl Asuna too! Amazing, you sir, just received a subscriber!
LoveLaugh12345 Thanks for subscribing. I try to be as in depth as possible, but time isn't always my friend! >.< I recommend getting Kirito and Asuna if you can, they're awesome!
Great review! I love the professional approach to the review. :)
God damn! I picked up the wring figma box when writing that, 158 is blue as well! ^^ Thanks for the heads up, I'll change it now.
Thank you, I'm sure you'll love it, it's awesome!
I bought this figure for 25 bucks (since the re-release has allowed price to go down. Hope Asuna does a re-release too) and he just arrived today. I LOVE it!
This is absolutely the best review on the best figure ever EVER!!!!!!!!!
Wow thanks a lot man!
Mecha Gaikotsu
Your welcome, but seriously though I really meant it,and sao is the best in my opinion :)
Thank you very much, and yes it is!
Try stretching the hands a bit to loosen them up a bit, the hands seem to be made of a more durable softer plastic than the swords
I have this figure, and I LOVE it, but the swords are very fragile, and I'm too afraid forcing them into the gripping hands would break them, especially in combination with the special effect parts. Despite that, I still really like it and have found some pretty cool poses for it. :)
I had trouble getting it a day after its release, in Akihabara! I wish I had the initiative to preorder a whole bunch of them and be the one selling them at outrageous prices! ^^
Mecha Gaikotsu hello
Very detailed review
Yep, as soon as I get my grubby hands on it!
GREAT REVIEW: I ended up getting this figure and I love it.
Sasuke Uchiha Kunn Thanks!
Stretching out the fingers a bit to loosen them helps, not to much though or you'll distort them and make them too loose.
When pushing it in make sure to hold the hilt below the visible weak point and ease it in slowly (Thats what she said!)
Rejoice guys the rerelease of Figma Kirito is available to pre-oder now (as of writing this) and will be released December 2014
Do you know if Asuna's getting a re-release?
***** yes!!
FUCK YEAH!
***** She is now, I just got an e-mail from Otaku (a website to buy figures like this) telling me of her pre-order and of the pre-order for the GGO version of Kirito :D
Be careful, I broke the handle off my figma Takamura Yui's Katana trying to get it into her hand!
At first it took quite a push to get it in. I was pretty sure it was going to scratch it pretty badly but it actually didn't.
SAO is my 2nd favorite anime and now I'm probably going to buy this figure and Asuna if I can find them for a good price.
Hey, I’m thinking about ordering one off amazon as a Christmas gift to myself, and I checked the sellers, some of them say “Shipped from Japan” and some of them don’t. If it says “Shipped from japan”, would that mean it’s real?
You can get some of these figures for about $50 on the Good Smile Company website. Was looking for these figures.
Figma always make such detailed and great figures
Wow .. your review is just perfect .. ! .. i hope u make more reviews for figma figures .. ^^
I love sword art online
I really hope we get a re-stock of this figure, I so wanna get my hands on one but they're way too overpriced :(
This figure really needs a restock. Hopefully one will be on its way
i never watched SAO but i watched your reviews and i loved the figures, specially Asuna haha going to buy all of them \o/
+PepeFraccini I watched SAO, didn't like it and gave up once it got incestuous.
Still bought the figures though because they're rad!
wow really? well, i'll watch the first season :P the figures are awesome specially the ALO version :D
+Mecha Gaikotsu fuck you then, attack on Titan or naruto fan boi
+Mecha Gaikotsu why sao is a good anime.
TremblingTV no.... it's not
Sorry for a stupid question but can Figma body parts be attached to SH Figuart?
Not without modification as far as I know
Man, its so weird listening to Mechagaikotsu old voice after getting used to his new style lol
Very nice and detailed figure as well as your review :)) ! Can you tell me what kind of rotating base( or whatever this base is...) you are using? I couldn't find something similiar on amazon or google :/.
I used Mr. Hobby plastic glue to fix the sword I broke on the Yui figma, but its really delicate now
Hopefully they'll release a second batch if they think they'll sell, like the Link and Samus figmas.
Thanks for the info, I'll be prepared lol :)
awesome review :D I still need to get the Kirito figma
Hi Mecha, can I swap the head of this figma?
Yeah it's possible! (I'll be doing that as soon as I get this Figma)
I believe if the swords break you can contact figma and you can recieve replacement swords from them. I don't know if their still doing that but just a heads up. :)
I didn't know that. Gotta contact them if so
somebodylwhodoesntrecordanymoarxD wow ty for that! I have just gotten into the habit of super gluing my figmas if they break..the older ones seem quite brittle.
Here is an update, the glue does in fact work at fixing the sword if it breaks. :)
I don't know if the official seller does that, but I do have a bootleg seller on aliexpress where I am going to buy one, he had 15 feedbacks which called it perfect, and *one* where one part was bad, but the buyer said it (hands) was immediatelly send a new one at no cost. :)
It's also 12 euros, so I know which I am going to get =)
DerYu OMG carat!!!! I love seungkwan!
Such a good review! Can't wait for my preorder to get here! XD
For anyone who wants this figure still. Good news! They are re releasing this figure, so you won't have to spend over 100 bucks on ebay or amazon for this figure.
Hey man can you help me with something?
Usually I don't pre-order figures but i couldn't take my chances with this one, so I know it's released this month but could you tell aproximately when? I mean in which day does max factory usually releas their new figures? Cuz it just says December 2014 everywhere .-.
And nice review I just got Ryuko as well :D
Oh and did the sword really break? But it can be glued and done? Right?? :1
By any chance are figmas the kind of things that a certain amount are produced and once they are sold the figma is gone
Garthur0 figma usually get released after the 20th of each month (in Japan anyway,) Yeah the sword broke! I did glue it but it will never be the same again... :D
Cormac O Halloran That's usually the case unless they choose to rerelease them
Gaikotsu, do you know if the rerelease (which I ordered) will come in heart at box? Is it the old box or will they give him the new look for the rerelease? Hopefully you can at least reply :P doesn't matter either way, just curious.
Yukine Sekki can I ask where u ordered it
I think it's already gotten pretty rare, maybe an online auction?
What do you mean by (if i heard it right) "DI Stage" at 1:00 minute mark? Sorry im new to figma figures. Great review btw.
It's a type of base made by max factory. You can check it out here: www.amazon.co.jp/stage-%E3%83%99%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF-%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2ver-ABS%E8%A3%BD%E6%B1%8E%E7%94%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%99%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9/dp/B002EAZME8/ref=sr_1_1?s=hobby&ie=UTF8&qid=1394815318&sr=1-1&keywords=di+stage

The sad face had some actual dirt smudged on it, which is unacceptable. Its good for a fake, but too bad I didnt get one like the review says.
That really sucks! 😩
Hello Internet! It was like $50, and apparently it was from MaxFactory. Dunno :|
How much was it?
Jael A Sandoval Like $50-ish
Skipadoo that sucks man I just ordered one on amozon too let's see what happens.
Great video! Incredible information and quality! I subbed! :)
I half-want to buy this simply so that I can repaint his eyes and give him incredibly small pupils.
No problem!
The background music reminds me of the Vectorman soundtrack from the sega genesis game.
Yes they do, some of the best!
Just a heads up it takes a bit of time to for it to gain momentum
It really depends on how much you want it, its a great little figure but whether or not its worth the price is up to you.
I'd say go for it though! ^^
Hey Gai! Can you give me a piece of advice? I don't know how I should put the swords into the hands without breaking them. How did you managed to put them in?
I'm buying these figure. The Asuna and Kirito figures look great. Thanks Buddy :-)
ricardo avelino You're welcome! :D
Thank you! Its called a Mr. Turntable Black L. This is the link to one on amazon

How can you tell if it is a bootleg or not? My dig a isn't painted well and the joints snapped in 1 day
That sounds like a possible bootleg
1.cheap
2.bad paint job
3.no foil sticker
4.it's from China
5.different molding
Check the origin of the product. If it's China, Taiwan or Hong Kong then it's a high chance of a bootleg. If the product is from USA then there's a 50% chance of bootleg if it's Japan then 99 percent real
+Macy Creampuff ?
who asked you?
when you were doing articulation, it looked like kirito was in pain XD
Im definitely pre ordering my Attack On Titan Figmas without a doubt, I just got into SAO and wanted a Kirito but the prices are outrageous!! AND ITS ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE!
My precious I need it
yo dude, what do you do with the figma boxes? do you have like a storage for them or throw them away or what. I have like my closet full of them lol.
Yup same here, a closet full of them! Good job I live in an apartment with huge closet space. It just looks like a toy store in there!
lol, I don't have as many figmas as I think you do. I can already imagine your place XD
Check the stores reputation, it should give you the gist of whether its legit or not
dis guy knows how to review figma RIGHT!!!
Are you going to review the Mikasa Ackerman Figure when it's getting released? It's a Figma Figure, too ^^
Why thank you very much!
I don't know why they make the weapon so weak and the hands so tight
UHHHHHHHHHH I'M A BIG FAN OF SAO AND I WAS MAD BECUASE HE KEPT ON MISTAKING OTHER I TEAM NAMES (this is what happened ) " *mistakes I team name * 😲
Great review. really enjoyed watching it.
I got a question:
Are you familiar with any website that supports international delivery and still has some of these figmas (or nendoroids)?
I'm searching FOREVER for nendoroid kirito, asuna, BRS, etc.
amiami's are all sold out. I did manage to find some ebay sellers, but I'm afraid of bootlegs, and some american websites but the delivery is just too expensive.
ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Oz Vamosh It would be hard to find reputable websites with rarer figma that are legit, especially with oder figma. I see them around in Akiba all the time, and was actually considering starting an ebay shop to make them available to people outside of Japan, with a full guarantee that they are legit.
Have you tried the online Madarake store? They sell older and pre-owned figures and are a trusted store.
ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/
Mecha Gaikotsu very neat website. will check it out.
Are you sure they're legit? what are your sources? did anyone share a feedback about them?
I have a question I hope someone can answer
I preordered this figure and I was wondering how will I get this
like as soon as it comes out will they ship it to me ?
branden viglianti I guess it should come pretty soon. Here in Japan you get it on release day
Well depending on where you bought it from, was it the simle company, was it some online whatever shop, and where you are from, usually you can do a tracking of your package and they give you the estimated amount of time that it might take to get to you.. so if you are far from japan like me 3 to 4 weeks tops, and the closer you are, the less you have to wait
Garthur0 what if its and import to america
I immediately went to amazon to check if they had this in stock, its like $60. I really like the anime and i'm a big fan, is it worth getting?
I was curious I know this an old video but is the the hip and legs displaced or aligned
R u Canadian
Awesome figure dude
Where did you buy it from? If it's not Singapore, do you know where I can find this in Singapore's shops? I hardly shop online for anime figurines.
Checked amiami or goodsmilecompany shop he's getting a rerelease
I preordered this! This my first figma iv'e bought!!
Can i ask where you got or whats the name of the rotating base?
4 words. Awesome. I want it.
Thinking of getting this figure but I would like to know how to get the swords in kirito's hands I got the link one and they suggested to put the sword in hot water and then you can take the bottom off and then back on once you have the sword in hand is there a similar way of doing it or do I have to mess with the fingers at all?
I got him and I tried to make him hold his sword but I had no idea how to put it in his hand and ended up breaking the sword handle! I'm planning to super glue it later, but as for now how am I supposed to make him hold his sword? Thanks.
Does your Kirito Figma have a hard time with its stand staying in the back of the figure? Mine just won't stay no matter what, if I just slightly touch it, he will pop off of his stand. Any suggestions?
+Mecha Gaikotsu
+Nobuscus2012 my figure had the same problem but I used blue tac
I have gotten this figure today at seattle comic con 2015 (Emerald city comic con). He is very great, and he is my first figma.
is this better than the new ordinal scale figma?
i bought mine a few days ago, and there's a problem, the sheath doesn't fit the dual holder on kirito's back. and for the one slot holder, i can;t even fit elucidator's sheath there. pls help. is this a defect, or are you guys also experiencing this? should i get it replaced? help. :(
I finaly found one for close to its original price. cant wait to pose him with my Asunas.
Have any recommendations on where i can get authentic,s
how did you put on the sword in his hand,it's so hard
What do you do about repair, because my dark repulsor handle broke off, I put super glue on it, it's on but it's not straight, so if there is somewhere I can go to get it repaired property, could you tell me if you know, I would really appreciate it
question
1. why is the dark repulsor blue? shouldn't the names be switched around?
2.i was watchin the episode where he meets lizbeth, and he suddenly had that new outfit and the different sword. did i miss an episode, or did he get those offscreen?
2. if he meets lizbeth, its supoused to be the episode where he gets the second sword
1.its just a name it doesnt really have a meaning to it :)
Where do I go to get my characters made into statues like this?
I've looked everywhere, and no luck.
Commission an artist I guess. As to where to find a serious sculptor with the chops to pull it off properly, I have no idea.
Mecha Gaikotsu I guess commissioning an artist would work out. It would have been cool to find legit sculptors though. I would ask Rooster Teeth. But I am not sure if they'd answer back. But thanks for taking your time to answer, It's much appreciated.
FIGMA FIGMA FIGMA make the best toys paint job is always amazing
where can i buy this figure and how would it cost?
I tried my best to put the swords in the hands as delicate as possible, but it sadly broke apart.How do u fix the swords if they broke apart into to pieces?
Got mine today in the mail, love every bit of it but the swords are hard to put into the hands
Can you get it after the re release comes out, cause i forgot to preorder mine ;-;
