Bandai Hobby Japan Chogokin Hatsune Miku Review

[018975]

i think without her twin-tails she looks like chun-li from street fighter.....

@018975 LOL, come to think of it , you are right! =)

i have one :D it was expensive but i got it :P and is a real great metal model, but some joints are too hard to move and others are too light, is totally understanding because is a very complicated structure

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@blackiedrakie This is indeed a very unique toy and totally worth the exclusivity. The overall design and finishing is good, just that I would prefer if the hair pieces were on ratchet joints rather than magnets, so that you can pose the hair without the aid of support stands.

Where can this be ordered from if you live in the U.S.?

[BlackDraco]

I just ordered mine, and was kind of regretting it but now that I watched this review I can't wait until she arrives.

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@BlackDraco I hope you enjoy this piece. =)

[sjyapyt]

the hair is die cast ??

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@sjyapyt The hair is made of PVC.

I think this is a very cool collaboration piece by the involved companies, and I think the end result is fantastic. I'm quite impressed with the amount of diecast in both Miku and the accessories. The rocket punch is quite amusing too, I guess they wanted to add it to make her a little bit more like her big Chogokin brothers. :p

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@ShiyojinRommyu I agree that it is a great collaboration and it could very well open the path for future collaborations. Maxfactory has good designs for their robots but they are limited by the resources and funding. If they continue to work together with Bandai, we could get a lot more quality gokins from them. The rocket punch feature is more like a tribute to mark the collaboration of Miku with chogokin, which is characterized by spring loaded fists that shoot out since the DX gokin days.

[ShiyojinRommyu]

@OptimusPrimeSG Ah yes, tribute was the word I was trying to use. :D I'm impressed with this rendition of Miku, I love the shiny parts. I'm not sure I'd buy it though, I think I'm happy with my Figma Miku for now.

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@ShiyojinRommyu I guess this piece will appeal mainly to the fans of Miku but I would say it's a special piece to own, though not a must own piece. =)

@chunlau Thanks for the support and compliments my friend. I was actually in Hong Kong 3 weeks ago. I did not get any Gundam. Bought some robots. I should let you know the next time I visit so that we can meet up. =)
