Out of the Box: Yukiko Amagi (Figma)

Close-up.

I've talked about my fondness for the Persona game series before, and mentioned that while I admire the vast line of unarticulated PVC figures that have been released from it, I'd rather have something with posing options.  And this Persona 4 Yukiko Amagi Figma is exactly what  I was looking for!

As is standard for Figmas (a line of articulated 13cm PVC action figures produced by Max Factory), this figure is fabulously well-articulated, and includes three option faces (each with a different expression),  two weapon accessories, three pairs of glasses, five pairs of option hands and a stand.  The accessories are all equal in quality to the doll itself, although the size does make me worry about losing them - a branded zip-seal bag is included though, and I imagine many people probably keep everything in the box, so I may be alone in being disorganized enough to worry about that!

The figure and accessories

The body is well-painted (the print on the skirt is fantastic) and well-sculpted (the knit pattern of the cardigan is impressively detailed) with detailing of the clothes that perfectly matches the character from the games.  The colours are also bright and even, which is perfect for a display piece.  If I have one complaint, it would be that the stand seems to be a little too large for a figure of this size (but that's a very minor concern).

I've been admiring the Figma releases for years, but this is the first one to join my collection, and I have to say that I'm thrilled with her.
