My Putotyra arrived today and it is a beautiful thing.



Not quite as much clear plastic as Gatakiriba (the one SIC I have in hand so far), but the metallic purple and silver is really pretty in-hand.




Hands pop on and off relatively easy and the wings are easy to pop on and off as well. My only nitpick, and this is possibly/probably owed to the fact I'm still relatively new to this line, is when disassembling the figure at the waist to swap out the standard belt/skirt for the belt with the tail, it was a bitch to get that ball joint to pop back in and stay that way. A stand is included but if you do use the tail, you probably won't need it. I do find the stand less dynamic than, say, the stand that comes with SHF Ryuki (which came in the same order) plus some of the claw and pole pieces pop off much more easily than the Ryuki stand, so it's not something I'm thrilled to use either way.



Quick comparison with Gatakiriba. Putotyra has a lot more going on, in terms of extra parts and molding, than Gatakiriba (I've yet to get Tajadol in hand, that remains in my PoL and I'll get Tatoba eventually).



Still, I'm pretty happy with this release. Gatakiriba remains my favorite because I love the metallic green, but Putotyra's top notch. It feels more regal, I suppose (the wings serving as a cape of sorts, as I currently have them, probably help with that vibe)?
