New Arrival: Figma Black Gold Saw

Well, I don't really know how this is going to go, so let's see what happens.  Probably just going to be rambling and what not.



Figma Sillyname McBustersword Black Gold Saw, purchased from HLJ in the short window when they had some in stock after the release.  This is the first Black Rock Shooter series figure I've gotten, so now I guess I'm part of the problem.  Though I haven't seen many BGS pictures yet, so maybe she's not as stupidly popular as BRS was.

Not all that much going on with the accessories.  Three faces, four pairs of hands, the King Saw, and the standard Figma stand, plastic bag, stand peg angled adapter thing, and di:stage cut-out.  The three faces are a neutral expression, "I'm going to rape you" expression, and an expression I can best described as 'stoned' or maybe 'hasn't had her coffee yet'.  The hand pairs are splayed, kinda closing/neutral state, hands specifically for holding King Saw, and fists that can also hold standard Figma accessories.  The hands are rather interesting in that they don't use the typical Figma hand articulation.  Instead, the pegs are on tiny ball joints where they plug into the hand, and thus have a much more limited movement range than other Figmas.  The two King Saw hands don't even have that ball joint and are completely unarticulated (aside from the wrist rotation).  Also, the pegs are thicker than they are on normal Figmas, meaning you can't stick BGS' hands on other Figmas.

BGS is very nice looking.  I haven't noticed any paint errors yet (not that there's much to mess up, really), and the gradients used on her hair and horns are quite nice.  In her construction, she's covered in soft plastic for her jacket vest section, parts of her shorts, the bits of hair that come down in the front, and sections of her hair in the back that cover the two joints the rest of her long hair is connected to.

Apparently, a number of people have been having problems with the King Saw hands staying in, especially when holding King Saw.  The hands on mine have been able to not fall out so far, but I can see it becoming an issue with time and the pegs are shallower than they probably should be.  Not something that would be hard to fix, though, as one of Mika-tan's recent entries kindly points out.  The rest of the joints seem to be fine for the most part, however, the chest joint on mine is a bit loose.  Actually rather similar to my Subaru, and I believe they're the only two Figmas I have that share this kind of design.  Tightening that joint is not quite something I'm willing to try out just yet, as trying to get that joint apart is rather risky.

Her knee spikes are floating, so you can move them a bit to make the knee joint appear more seamless when bent.

Crazy lady is a bit hard to frame, between the length of her sword and her height.

It's like she's really a Final Fantasy character!

At some point I decided I should characterize my BGS as really loving cute things, in a non-violent way that involves a lot of SQUEE~ and what not.

Enjoying cute things like so!

Bitch needs to stay a while and listen.

Black Coffee Drinker (I really wanted to be able to use her actual hands for this...).

Now to continue waiting on my Aya Shamamenimauraurmeimaimn, while Jehuty seems to have been delayed to later this month since Revoltechs release at the beginning of a month, as far as I know.  And to stop buying so much junk BLEGH.
