Konata Izumi Costume play Ver. (Max Factory)
“Let me wash your hair” “Timotei timotei timoteiiii ~”
Here’s the Figma Konata sold at the WF 2008 . It’s my first Figma and i got it because i wanted a Lucky Star figure (there’s still no PVC yet …) and i wanted to know why everyone was speaking about those Figmas .
Before taking the pics and typing this post , i really wanted to say bad things about Figmas , as i don’t understand why the buzz everywhere for them , but after playing a little with her to take the pics , i finally know : they are indeed fun to play with , choosing poses and making scenes with them .
But personally , it’s not really my thing 
. And i do think they’re not as great as people say … The painting and the overall quality not as good as the normal PVC figures and even from the Nendos . But the price is quite cheap and it’s action figures so it’s different .
I hope i won’t get insulted after saying my opinion , as i think i must be the only one not into Figmas ^^ . I hope you’ll forgive me with the pics i took . The poor mini Saber was quite tired after that photoshot , i wonder why ?
pics under the cut
Konata loves Saber !
Or not :’(
“Excalibur is mine !”
Konata loves birds too . Sadly Saber is not ok with that …
Lucky Star or Haruhi ?
“Don’t look under my skirt !”
“Or i’ll kick your ass !”
Poor Saber , she is really tired :’(
* no Saber was hurt in that photoshot *

Heh, I know how you feel, I’m not much into figma’s myself actually. I don’t even find them fun to play with while you seemed to have fun.
Possibly a lack of imagination has plenty to do with my non-enjoyment since without imagination, no fun poses can be had :p I can see how others would enjoy them though, but they’re just not for me I guess.
As a figma supporter, I have to say that I only like them because it’s fun to have something to pose sometimes. However I greatly prefer the normal stationary figures.
The Saber fanboys look let you get away with this =\.
Anyway, I don’t mind figmas. However, I don’t feel the need to play with my figurines, either. Both are fine, overall.
lol great photos! I love figma’s hehe but can understand why your not crazy about them ^_^ I really want this figma! I’ve been eyeing a few on ebay lately lol.
I’m glad everyone understand my opinion ^^
The only thing i like about Figmas is that’s it’s easy to take pics of them and you can take funny pics too . but that’s about it .
Nothing can beat a beautiful sculpt and awesome painting of a great PVC (L)
Hey that’s cool. I like honesty and I know figma is not everyones thing because of their joints and the overall quality. Even though I don’t play with mind one all the time, I like seeing a different pose from time to time rather than a fixed one. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the normal PVC but I’m just making my point where I love them as much as I love figmas. ^^
i’m primarily interested in figmas for their pose potential. i have a pretty poor setup for my shots so i amuse myself with group shots and shared accessories. still though, i think the reason i still haven’t gotten any is the same reason you’re not crazy about ‘em… joints are ugly, paint work, sculpting isn’t anything to write home about…
I don’t think there’s anything wrong not liking figmas – at least to me, they’re for an entirely different purpose. It’s almost like buying a painting vs. buying paint and a paintbrush – one’s art, one’s for making art.
regardless, i still have saber on consideration… her armor hides the joints pretty well. omake: saw this pic on mikatan’s blog recently, cracked me up:

I like figma because they’re far more affordable ._.
Konata was my first Figma too!!!!!
I do like Figmas. It’s just thinking about posing them are just fun.
Well, to me, the quality is pretty good. Still different people different opinion.
Still, that is one nice Saber!!!!!
I do like the pictures!!!
@ optic : seems like you think exactly like me , but you’re a Figma loveeeer (L) :p
@ meronpan : the Saber looks better i agree ^^ but i have too much Saber already lol :p
@ Shin : true enough . A loli Figma would be nice maybe ? :p
