Yes yes it is all about the anime with you. Revoltech went with the novel artwork I think. I like it. Revoltechs tend to go with books and manga forms more than animated forms. I intend to hunt down this and it's magazine omake counterparts on amazon or something next time I'm in Japan
Are the 6mm Revolver Joints still tight on this one or is it from when the 6mm joint became too loose before they got updated?
@causticblood Well, technically speaking, there is a quantitative way to determine accuracy - by comparing it to the on-screen character and seeing how closely the figure resembles it. Usually, most collectors would want their figures to be more accurate. Figures are, after all, a physical, 3D representation of a 2D character.
I've had figured and nendoroids for a while, and I was actually looking for a comparison between Figmas and Revoltech since I've known about both for a while but never really knew the differences between the two, thanks for making them clearer. Picking up my first Figma soon, Homura Akemi :)
@MadcowDead Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
i would want to get the one that didn't require as much labor. Figma is better, yet, Revoltechs must have taken less work for the people who made it. sometimes you have to think about things like unfair pay, spending all day at a factory. I'm NOT saying that figma or revoltech do that, I'm saying some businesses do that.
Actar576295 hi i just found a Fraulein Revoltech 007FS Futami Ami THE IDOLM@STER and it cheap and i just wanted to know what you thought about getting it. thank you =3
So far I have one of each. My Figma is Haruhi (super director, from season 2) and my Fraulein Revoltech is Yuki also from season 2, with the witch outfit, guitar, sign and Shamisen though you can just take off the witch outfit and have her in normal uniform. As long as you take care of your Revoltech figures, then you won't break them. Figma breaks easily as my Haruhi figure's foot broke off but of course I superglued it back on and you can't tell the difference.
you must say that figma is more expensive too, yes figma in this review was superior but if you buy a figma doll and a revoltech doll you will see the diference in money, with the price of one figma doll you buy two revoltech, in the end it depends, i didnt see any big diferences in quality that would make me buy figma over revoltech, if i find a figma doll with good price i would buy of course but that doesnt mean that i would not buy revoltech anymore.
the accessories matter to me. I love to change my figure's poses all the time. I own a lot of Revoltech and will be getting mt first Figma very soon. Very nice review!
Actar! I just wanted to say I really enjoy your reviews! This really helped help me decide not to get that nagato Yuki revoltech ;3;. Also if you don't mind me asking, do you have a my figure collection?
@bishiewuvr It's a derogatory term used to refer to people who think that Japan, and anything deriving or associated with it, is superior to everything else. The term is often confused and improper usage of the term can lead one to call an Anime fan/Otaku a weeaboo.
A distinction must be made between liking/obsessed with and thinking that something is superior. Just because one likes something doesn't mean that one thinks it's better than something else.
are all figma stuff similar sized as revoltech, i have a revoltech collection and was thinking of getting figma? but i want my collection to be pretty similar scale wise.
I've actually seen them compared side to side, The Figma had more accessories, a better stand, and better quality material, but it was ten dollars more. :3
Figma Lelouch vs. Revoltech Rin, so maybe it isn't a fair one.
i have figma haruhi and fraulein revoltech bunny haruhi and i like figma haruhi better :) Bunny haruhi isn't bad, but it doesn't look too much like haruhi. Her "guitar playing" face makes haruhi look constipated :/
ANd how the heck does the revoltech fraulein stand work ?!
Although what you said is true... but if you want to get the bunny version of Haruhi Suzumiya action figure... the only choice is to buy Revoltech because Figma doesn't have that version available. I got the bunny version of Haruhi and it is definitely better made then the school outfit version. IMHO, it is simple cute and I recommend the bunny costume version of Haruhi Suzumiya by Revoltech.
I got the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekodou DX Pack with the Haruhi figure and I really like her, The problem I have is the arms keep falling off and they will not move without coming off. Any help? I don't know how to pose her or replace her hands.
I think it's what you want to do with the figures that depends on which one is better. If you them to collect and display, then Figma. If you want to play with them (or anything else that could possibly really involve them breaking), then Fraulein Revoltech.
@ChibiCthulluWillRule Well, honestly, considering that both the Revoltech and Figma are practically priced the same, the Figmas would still be more worth it as they tend to be much more sturdy than the Revoltechs.
@ChibiCthulluWillRule To me Fraulein Revoltech kind of remind me of Barbies, no offense. And you can't change out the faces in that type too. The shoes are different. The hand variety is cool. And the Fraulein is bigger/wider than a Figma. The colors are brighter and shinier while Figma is toned-down and more realistic.
@xymikemow Well, like actar says, it depends on what you want in your figure. For myself, I tend to buy figmas for character figures, and buy revoltechs for mechs. however, the newer lines of revoltechs are pretty nice. These being the queens blade line and the Sengoku Basara lines.
thats true...revoltech figmas are more sturdy but lack in aperence and its less acurate. thw figmas are a lot more fexible and alomost all of my figmas broke in some place but the revoltech ones are very robotic in its movements but i LOVE the figmas bcuz they are amazing and vary in many animes...figma FTW
@aneldoarosemena: no,you're wrong,revoltech are more sturdy than figmas who break way too easily,figmas are only better in the appearance,and in the pose,but you can't keep that appearance and pose if you break it!, it's a WASTE to buy figmas from eBay, trust me, my Nanoha broke her two hands and her ponytail balljoint quickly, and she was from ebay, revoltech are still better!!!
Okay... This is bizarre. I own 50 over figmas and all of them have been perfect so far. In contrast, most of the revoltechs I own have floppy joints that love popping off.
Be careful when you buy from eBay because there are a whole ton of bootleg/knockoff Figmas out there. That could explain your Nanoha's breakage.
I perosnally think they are matched.....figma is good in terms of accuracy and revoltech is good in terms of durability but wen it comes down to it....i would go with figma but wen it comes to this haruhi figure i would go with the revoltech just because the figma looks wierd and the revoltech looks alot cuter ^^
@Actar576295 The plastic are harder but brittle on the figma joints. the revoltech joints are softer (easier to get loose) but more pliable. My figmas have snapped at the shoulder, but none of my frauleins/revoltechs ever broke....they just get loose joints and fall apart (you can fix with crazy glue)
@Actar576295 Yep, although I know it was bootleg before purchase, the neck joint on my Kaga-Miku figma snapped 'cos of me trying to move it while it being immovable. Still need to get down to replacing it with a spare Revoltech joint. But otherwise, it's A'IGHT (kawaiiiii).
They really improved Frauleins a lot over the past couple of years. Hasegawa Haruka, for example, is very well made, everything is tight and nothing breaks at all. I just wish I could find the figures as easy as you can....since here in America, our figures are 95% crap....and all the Figmas and Revoltechs cost 2 or 3 times more. x_X;
i dont know why but i actualy like the revoltech more its brighter and more novelty and the figmas so bland just look at the uniform bleh can we make a new shade of blue and call it boring blue because this would be it
everybody knows figma is better than revoltech but fraulein are good too,but i have problem with my asuka and idol master figure because they arms and legs are very delicate in comparation with figma, the structue of the body of figma is much better than revoltech, anyway two ways are great
I do like Figma but the Yuki Frauilien figure had good articulation and was very close to the anime. Maybe the Haruhi wasn't that good because it's a freebie? Oh well figma is still quite good though.
Wow your haruhi figma ids in very good shape! Mine.... Well I'm only ten so I like to play with my figures and both of my haruhi's arms broke of!!! DX DX DX
@chascrowder Ha ha, I'm only 13, and my Kagami summer fuku pigtails snapped off! The little rod that connected them just... -sniff- I had to hot glue them back on, but it was my own fault, I wasn't being very careful with her. :( I made sure to be more careful with my Miyuki summer fuku. I only have two, but they sure are fun! ^^
woohoo fellow singaporean figma collector!!! i need ur tips in choosing the right figure! should i get the max factory haurhi with the music costume? looks damn nice =) wad's ur opinion?
i too live in Singapore and i cant find figruines such as To love ru or to aru majutsu no index. Where do u get them from? care to tell me? it would be a great help if u could. :D
got a figma haruhi summer ed. and loved it as in everybody when i birng it around for some photo blogging in school. everyone in my club and the one where me and my club share the room fell in love with it as she became a vain figure not sure bout the revoltech though, so figma it is for me
Eh, there's no end to the bashing of the Revoltechs, huh?
To be honest, it seems you've got the Figma first, got used to its idiosyncracies and simply don't like the differences in the Revoltech. Not to say I don't love the Figma, but IMO, this is one of few outstanding Revoltechs and would have it by now if I didn't have to pay $90 to get it with the game.
For example, the slightly out of proportion Revoltech makes it stand out more IRL (don't forget anime characters have SOME WIDE EYES).
A major argument I have about your review is that from the usual front viewing position, the Figma joints ACTUALLY stand out more (especially at the elbow). The only regard I have against the Revoltech here is the back of the knees and its GODDAMNED Stand From HELLLL.
And while it's great that Figmas come with a zip bag, I honestly hope no otaku uses them, for fear of tearing them in light of their "limited edition" status (I keep my Saber in a small, rigid [old razor] box for transport).
Also, I'm not sure it's fair to compare the two sets as products, as the Revoltech is only a limited edition tie-in with the game. Certainly the Figma is a better value, but the Revoltechs acutally have interchangable faces and accessories (although only because a jackass like myself bought all four Kadokawa magazines that came with the promotion busts).
Final point: your Figma has a pasty, unappealing complexion, which biased me a little (your camera might have messed that up).
I would definitely go for the Figma. I bought a Haruhi yesterday, and I think I would have accidently gotten the Revoltech if I didn't watch this video.
That is indeed a great point and it is unfortunate I didn't think of it at the time of making this video. Revoltechs are indeed more affordable, but only to a small extent. (^.^)
I like figma better, but I've bought two robotechs today because it was cheaper. (A two for one package deal). Next time I buy a figure I'll get a figma...but then again the place I visited only sold cheaper anime figures, and most of those were robotechs...
hmmm....actually, on t figma figure she hz da wrong shoes. in da manga ver of haruhi, revoltech is rght, t ribbon IS low, along w t pop fiction ver. however, t revoltech ver came from a game box, so wat do ya expect? ....ok i ll shut up now XD
But on the figma it had the extra shoes which was the pair Haruhi wore in the manga.I know this figure was made to be used for the haruhi busts but some of the parts from the busts are too big like on the pointing hand one her hand was the size of her head and the ribbon of the serifuku in the manga the bow part is at the bottem of her shirt so you can still see her belt.Also if you look closley the busts theres somthing off.Then again this is only my opinion and you may think somthing else.
the revoltech is hardly accurate and does look shard to pose.
plus the colors on the seifuku are a bit off.
the revoltech just look slike its designed to stand there, the figma looks so much more epic, exciting, w/e you wanna call it the figma just looks so much better!
I don't think you picked the best Fraulein example to compare accessories with Figma. Since the school uniform Haruhi was bundled with the game it was designed to swap accessories, faces, arms and hair parts with the 4 busts that came in magazines. If you take a look at the bunny girl Haruhi you'll see a selection of faces and accessories much better representative of the current Fraulein figures. It's even designed to swap faces with the school uniform version and busts.
The main reason I chose this Fraulein is due to the fact that both of them had the same outfits. The only difference you mentioned between this one and the others are the accessories. Even if you ignore the point about Figmas winning due to accessories, the difference in design is what I'm really getting at.
As for accessories, the Yuki Fraulein and Figma have nearly identical accessories. Thus, the Figma rises above once again.
Yes, from what I think, the Figma designs are way better in quality then Fraulein. As for the Bunny Haruhi your talking about, her thighs just look kinda weird, they're bigger then her waist. O_O My point is, if the figure looks like crap, I don't care about the accessories or how meny there are.
Very good review and title. XD I think figmas were bad at first because of the joints, but that's not bad at all because you can create different poses with them with the stand. I might wanna start buying figmas. Thank you.
very good review there. some comments for you though, don't breathe too deeply into the mic and also structure your sentences properly with better intonation. cause i'm like quite annoyed at your sentence tone.
Thanks for this review! I was always wondering what the exact differences were. I have some Figma figures in my collection, and was pretty sure I'd get the Revoltech combat maid Mikuru, but since Figma will also release her in the summer, I really was wondering which would be a better choice. After seeing this review, I'll stay with Figma.
I've noticed with some Revoltech Frauleins that the stand is too long for the figure...So if you want to put the stand around their waste (if you can fit them on their waiste...sometimes it looks like the hook won't go around their waste) they hover WAY above the bottom of the stand and if you want them on solid ground, you have to put the hook around their neck...which looks kinda dumb in my opinion. I never really have liked Revoltech Fraulein, especially since their Saber. Figma all the way!
Yes yes it is all about the anime with you. Revoltech went with the novel artwork I think. I like it. Revoltechs tend to go with books and manga forms more than animated forms. I intend to hunt down this and it's magazine omake counterparts on amazon or something next time I'm in Japan
Are the 6mm Revolver Joints still tight on this one or is it from when the 6mm joint became too loose before they got updated?

@TheCastellan Can't say much about the Figmas, but the Revoltech I have didn't even cross the $20 line. I recently got a Yoko figure for about $15

BlackMage149 2 years ago
I do like Figma but the Yuki Frauilien figure had good articulation and was very close to the anime. Maybe the Haruhi wasn't that good because it's a freebie? Oh well figma is still quite good though.

My store only had the Revoltech Haruhi ones. Darn Canada. D: Still, I picked them up.
I find Revoltech Witch Yuki quite cute despite the Figmas usually being more accurate.
The Haruhi one I got was the Bunny Suit one. So awesome! :D
They were both $30.
Thankfully this means my closet has more than just a ton of Dragonball and broken Nintendo figures.
I need a freaking money tree. T^T

kairigirl226 2 years ago
Eh, there's no end to the bashing of the Revoltechs, huh?
To be honest, it seems you've got the Figma first, got used to its idiosyncracies and simply don't like the differences in the Revoltech. Not to say I don't love the Figma, but IMO, this is one of few outstanding Revoltechs and would have it by now if I didn't have to pay $90 to get it with the game.
For example, the slightly out of proportion Revoltech makes it stand out more IRL (don't forget anime characters have SOME WIDE EYES).
h8GWB 2 years ago
A major argument I have about your review is that from the usual front viewing position, the Figma joints ACTUALLY stand out more (especially at the elbow). The only regard I have against the Revoltech here is the back of the knees and its GODDAMNED Stand From HELLLL.
And while it's great that Figmas come with a zip bag, I honestly hope no otaku uses them, for fear of tearing them in light of their "limited edition" status (I keep my Saber in a small, rigid [old razor] box for transport).
h8GWB 2 years ago
Also, I'm not sure it's fair to compare the two sets as products, as the Revoltech is only a limited edition tie-in with the game. Certainly the Figma is a better value, but the Revoltechs acutally have interchangable faces and accessories (although only because a jackass like myself bought all four Kadokawa magazines that came with the promotion busts).
Final point: your Figma has a pasty, unappealing complexion, which biased me a little (your camera might have messed that up).
h8GWB 2 years ago
I would definitely go for the Figma. I bought a Haruhi yesterday, and I think I would have accidently gotten the Revoltech if I didn't watch this video.
Thanks Actar. :)

Revoltech only has one advantage over Figma..
It's Price.
It's lower level of detail and lesser accessories cause it to have lower average selling price.

That is indeed a great point and it is unfortunate I didn't think of it at the time of making this video. Revoltechs are indeed more affordable, but only to a small extent. (^.^)

InuyashAddiction 2 years ago
But on the figma it had the extra shoes which was the pair Haruhi wore in the manga.I know this figure was made to be used for the haruhi busts but some of the parts from the busts are too big like on the pointing hand one her hand was the size of her head and the ribbon of the serifuku in the manga the bow part is at the bottem of her shirt so you can still see her belt.Also if you look closley the busts theres somthing off.Then again this is only my opinion and you may think somthing else.

the revoltech is hardly accurate and does look shard to pose.

the revoltech just look slike its designed to stand there, the figma looks so much more epic, exciting, w/e you wanna call it the figma just looks so much better!

inuyashakagome445 2 years ago
I don't think you picked the best Fraulein example to compare accessories with Figma. Since the school uniform Haruhi was bundled with the game it was designed to swap accessories, faces, arms and hair parts with the 4 busts that came in magazines. If you take a look at the bunny girl Haruhi you'll see a selection of faces and accessories much better representative of the current Fraulein figures. It's even designed to swap faces with the school uniform version and busts.
dethblud 2 years ago
The main reason I chose this Fraulein is due to the fact that both of them had the same outfits. The only difference you mentioned between this one and the others are the accessories. Even if you ignore the point about Figmas winning due to accessories, the difference in design is what I'm really getting at.
As for accessories, the Yuki Fraulein and Figma have nearly identical accessories. Thus, the Figma rises above once again.
Actar576295 2 years ago
Yes, from what I think, the Figma designs are way better in quality then Fraulein. As for the Bunny Haruhi your talking about, her thighs just look kinda weird, they're bigger then her waist. O_O My point is, if the figure looks like crap, I don't care about the accessories or how meny there are.

Very good review and title. XD I think figmas were bad at first because of the joints, but that's not bad at all because you can create different poses with them with the stand. I might wanna start buying figmas. Thank you.

Thanks for this review! I was always wondering what the exact differences were. I have some Figma figures in my collection, and was pretty sure I'd get the Revoltech combat maid Mikuru, but since Figma will also release her in the summer, I really was wondering which would be a better choice. After seeing this review, I'll stay with Figma.
Pasukaru 3 years ago
I've noticed with some Revoltech Frauleins that the stand is too long for the figure...So if you want to put the stand around their waste (if you can fit them on their waiste...sometimes it looks like the hook won't go around their waste) they hover WAY above the bottom of the stand and if you want them on solid ground, you have to put the hook around their neck...which looks kinda dumb in my opinion. I never really have liked Revoltech Fraulein, especially since their Saber. Figma all the way!
Faifan2006 3 years ago
Yes, the stand being too long is indeed a common problem with the Revoltechs.
