Fraulein Revoltech: #009 Idol Master Hoshi Miki PVC Figure 1/10 Scale

I bought a few of these revoltech fraulein figures to use for posing for drawing use. They are nice enough, the looks and paint are great, but very flimsy. They aren't meant to be played with, but you can't even get them posed without their arms falling off at the shoulder joints about 10 times when you do, yet other things like changing the hands, are so tight that you think you are going to break it trying to pull them out and put other ones in. They just have a very light fragile feel to them. I would think for the price these are sold at that they would be a little better made. That would probably be about the only issue with them, but I am on the fence about recommending them because of the price versus quality. I still give them 4 stars because of the detail in design and quality of the paint is better than a lot of those 1/7 $$$ collectible pvc statues.

Oh my what a problem is to review this one as it is with just about all the Vevoltech figurines. The workmanship and detail is great and is, as another reviewer put it, equal to our superior to many of the high dollar play pretties offered by other companies. I collect them all both the low dollar and high end ones so I am somewhat familiar with this sort of product.

This little figurine is absolutely adorable and you can, if desired, place her into quite a number of configurations. But alas, herein lies the problem. These little girls are oh so delicate and (I hate to use the word) flimsy! They are quite difficult to work with and require a light and gentle touch. (Good grief, I just described a number of my "friends").

I do NOT recommend these little cuties for children. These are NOT children's toys by any means. They are collectable eye candy and need to be immediately placed on a shelf or in a display cabinet.

For the price, they...Read more

What is there to say about this product? I can say it's good but there are a few flaws which is understand. There are always bound to be flaws in everything.

Anyway, what's good are the details. I like the design and quality to it. Pretty accurate/precise. I like how the accessories like the cat ears can give a stronger impression to the figure while giving any kind of pose to it. It is the same with the many kinds of hand pieces with different gestures.

As for the flaws, I am somewhat displeased with them. One is that the body parts fall off easily. Another is the hands. It is extremely hard to remove and switch them while trying not to pull the joints off.

Despite the flaws, it still receives four stars out of five because it is part of an Otaku's collection and can be used for other purposes like posing for a drawing. It is not recommended for children.
