The chest articulation is probably to avoid paint chipping. That's also probably why it was delayed so much. I don't mind it at all, specially since the crunch in front is way more important than the back crunch, imo. Hopefully they do more Genshin ladies cause a lot of them look mighty fine.
Unfortunately looks like APEX has picked it up (they also do Honkai figures). For some reason, they've decided to start with Qiqi. Looks expensive, especially with minimal accessories. But I _will_ get APEX's Void Drifter Kiana figure.
She's not actually broke, she just has a tendency to buy things right away, leaving her with minimal savings. She has enough to pay her rent, but that leaves her with only enough for a salad. Or did you really think a broke person could afford such an intricate outfit?
You can remove the entire cape above the shoulders by pulling out the vision (blue gem on the back). It's a peg (without glue) holding the entire upper outfit attached to the figure.
I remember playing her side story by far my favorite character I hope yormiya , venti, klee , amber , lisa , and aether and lumine Fun fact their visions are like gemstones an since she's water it fits her design
@@therealPayne yeah she's an astrologer a broke one at that but she is pretty good when you need someone to fight with plus her decoy turn attack helps in a pinch
I love way you measure and compare scale of figure. Some body has Figma showcase video but never use ruler or height measurement.... So this vdo is the review.
This figure is cool, but man do I have problems with it. For starters, all of the the promo images show that she's mostly purple, as she should, but then it turns out that she's actually blue, what's up with that? Then there's the fact that they locked Mona's smiling face behind the Bonus, bonuses should be extras added on top of the package, other figures have a minor face expression as the bonus, such as Ryza winking, which is just her default face with an eye closed, or Iowa, which is just the default with both eyes closed. Those are cool to have, but not having them don't take that much away, because at least one of the base faces can fill their role just fine. But Mona's smile is completely different from the other faces and it alone enables a lot of poses and scenarios that the other ones can't! And lastly, her freaking legs do not have the pop-down mechanic, so she can't move her legs as much as she could've.
In the end, I still like this figure, the design alone carries it hard, but it's also such a big disappointment. If it didn't have those issues, this would be one of my favorite Figmas, but as it is, I barely mess with it. Although I'm gonna say that the thigh swivel was a critical addition, it actually enables a lot of poses that she wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
Also, if they were going to put a line over her crotch, they could've gave her a hinge diaper just like they did for Sophia F. Shirring, but that's yet another feature they could've* done, but didn't. Goddammit.
I do mostly shop at Ami Ami, getting the goods straight from japan. Altho they have been pretty annoying lately, sometimes taking forever to ship out your product. I mean, if you don't mind the wait, that doesn't matter. Otherwise have had zero issues with the store and have been shopping there for years.
I hope travelers come too as a figma design, that would be so cool and even can make me play with them in this age, its not realased in my country hope its not that expensive
There _is_ one detail they missed: the circular parts around the four-pointed stars on her hat and thigh are supposed to be ruby, not gold. They apparently glow when her Burst is ready (I've never paid attention to that though). Otherwise they did really well on her detail. Mona was my first 5-star, so she holds a special place in my wallet... I mean bank... I mean heart. Yeah.
