I love Jan. He's so lovable and funny. The character development he gets is just the icing on the cake :D

And same!

Glorious!

you know what i want? a putotyra effects set, it's entirely possible for the wings and spikes because they pop out, not sure about the tail though. really they should make a effects set for all the combos since hardly any powers were made into reality

...

Fine. But only because you said please. :(

I got him from amiami's preowned section last month for about the same price. He's pretty good. I've got him in my Akiba Red's stand right now like he's jumping at an enemy with his sword.

Only gripe I have is that he's kinda on the short side, but otherwise he's solid.

Went ahead and added a little something to my collection. Picked up the Scorpion Zodiart today. Great looking figure. The sculpt and paint are fantastic, she just looks absolutely gorgeous. I do wish she had a horoscope zodiart switch, but I do understand why she has a standard one (afterall, how many times has she told someone to make a wish on the stars before handing over one of those things?). I wish the cloak was a bit better done, but it's really not that bad, I just worry about breaking the pegs on it. Articulation is great, as expected, but more hindered than either of the other Figuarts I have. Joints seem a bit of a mixed bag for me here, nothing super floppy or frighteningly tight, but they aren't perfect either. Still really happy to have picked her up, I wanted a villain and I love the whole concept behind the Zodiarts, and so she was an easy pick for me.

The cloaks are what really kill it for me on the Zodiarts. I almost wish they had just included some soft vinyl or even cloth for the cloaks. The hard plastic shells don't work so well. Especially on figures like Scorpio since she has so many small parts and featuring poking out from her arms and torso.

The cloak is a superfluous accessory anyway.
I just wish her articulation was good enough to do the scorpion pose she pulled off in that one episode. Loved that.

Why would you display the Zodiarts with their cloaks on?

Because that's how they looked 90% of the time? I know the bodies themselves are more detailed but the suits themselves looked far more opposing with the cloaks on.

I want to buy Virgo because of how good she looks in her Cloak.

You know my problem with Figuarts? It's the same problem I have with 'Masterpiece' Transformers. Bandai claims these are the pinicle of toy design. A new standard, as the box says. If you're going to claim that, or call your toy 'Masterpiece', every single one had better be damn perfect when it rolls off the line. You can't call something a 'New Standard' and then do things like we see. Not matching colors, loose joints, breakage. It just shouldn't happen.
