There's some art from the manga, on the back of volume 10 I believe, and...yeah I think she's just ment to be short. There are times when she looks a bit taller, but every time shes in like an important page or promo image, shes always kinda small, and this figure seems to match that look. Personally it does bother me, but that's just my opinion.
@@GrimmtokiAMV Still, there are figures accurate to that height that don't make her look really petite, considering that 5'6" actually isn't petite and she's only 1 inch shorter than Power. Like the Kotobukiya ArtFX J, which is a 1/8 scale figure accurate to her height of 5'6" but manages to look more imposing and intimidating. With the Figuarts, you'd think she's 5'3" -- Kobeni's height.
I got mine not long ago too. It's bizarre that Tamashii Nation is giving her single jointed elbows and knees, just like a Figma. And that's weird that Figma Makima actually has double jointed elbows. And it's not because she has thin arms (even Yuzuriha from Hell's Paradise has double jointed elbows despite being small). The torso is using that same tech as live action SHF Zoro with that half split articulation, which doesn't work well at all. They should just choose one, either fully seamless front and back or just have cuts for articulation. And being a SHF, well, one option is clearly better. The worst part is the hip joints because they use the old ball joint hips over the 2.0 style ones. When I first tested the leg split, mine also pop out on her left leg which left me speechless. Edit: Just did a comparison with Yuzuriha so I edited my comment. Makima is 5'6" while Yuzuriha is 5'3". Clearly the 2 series has different scaling in the SHF line as Yuzuriha looks huge compared to her.
@@bigounce8549 exactly, it looks like she was kitbashed from a Kobeni figure. I wouldn't be surprised if they do eventually release a Kobeni and it turns out to be the same size as her.
Holy hell, Gabimaru is 150 cm (compared to Makima's 168 cm) and her Figuarts is smaller than his! Even given that she's shorter than Denji and Power (but not by much), they really fumbled the scale on this one. It honestly makes me wonder if they engineered her frame/body type for Kobeni and just released it on Makima first to save money. The Kotobukiya ArtFX J is accurate to scale and designed after her canon height, but the proportions are much better and make her look intimidating.
I know it’s not this video related but omnimestore has the new tonsen art toys trunks figures up for preorder finally. Only a matter of time until 5k has them too.
When I got my first SHF makima I was so down to look at the coat because it reminded me of shin kamen riders coat but now that I mess with it I did see that same problem of her being very small almost similar to the SHY SHF which sorta does bother me but I've sorta got use to it but other wise it's a great figure to have
I was gonna get this figure but decided to look for a review to see how tall she was. I thought the same thing, the proportions are off. I have Chainsaw man and it's also too small. I also Just saw the anime heroes chain saw man and is much taller. I hope they make a Makima. (its also a 3rd of the price)
I think the scaling is actually perfectly fine, she is rather short anyway especially with the coat it looks good Though in certain episodes or at least from what I remember she looked pretty similar in height to Denji even though she isn't, I feel like the proportions are fine I don't think they could made it any better except maybe idk
You can use a clean makeup brush, which you can buy at a dollar store. You can also use an air canister to blow air on your figures to remove dust from your SHF. Although it's more costly than a makeup brush.
It's actually your decision if you wanna buy it or not but bro it's up to you if you want it get it if you don't then don't you can get it when you want
Ngl, im not feeling this figure. The faces are not doing it for me either. Something about this figure just feels uncanny, especially compared to other csm figure from the line. Also kinda funny that when it comes to the torso shf pulled the figma and figma pulled the marvel legends lol. I hope you review the figma makima aswell so i can decide which one to get.
it's not unpopular but i don't think frieren is popular enough with youtubers like these for them to buy shf of the characters especially due to the price. only person i've seen is rockchala because he gets every shf for his catalogue, but considering the style of the show compared to csm, jjk, or dragon ball, let's be real, would someone like anthony's customs or eighty sixed reviews be interested in that
i thought this would be good since she didnt need an alternate piece for crossing her legs like figma. but this figure is not doing it for me ☹️☹️ i love makima cause she’s one of my favorite villains so.. MAYBE i’ll pick this up and wait for figma
She's totally average, doesn't do anything special, but being Makima elevates it a fair bit. Having loads of fun photographing it. In terms of top of 2024... yeah, unlikely she'll crack Top 10. She just does the job well enough for me.
Thanks for the review. Come on Ace you should never cross Makima. She great and more importantly she's all about "control"😉😊😊😊 Too bad the figure is mid but let's hope Figma delivers .
I think they didn’t put as much effort on her as they did on the others since they knew the fans were gonna get her anyway, I’m not a fan of the series, so I’m just talking of what I seen in the media of why they like the character
Sh figuarts have been disappointing me a lot recently, they’ve been over engineering their figures without testing if the joints actually work or need better tolerances, such a bummer
I'm glad I cancelled my PO.. Bandai fumbled the bag on this one. This is the second review I've seen now that had the hips pop out and other articulation issues.
With how good a lot of other SHF females (most notably Haruno Sakura, Power and Kugisaki Nobara) are, she should have been a great figure Of course Tamashii just had to fumble her....
The SHF hype is a lil overblown. I think they’re a solid line, but there’s so much quantity that it ends up falling apart in quality. This should’ve been a much better figure than what it was. It’s just DECENT. Hopefully the Figma is better.
