I've had Hibiki built for a few days now, just standing on my desk; and... man. He's certainly given competition by Rising Mighty but I think this might be my favourite FRS yet??

There are, for sure, frustrations I had with the kit -- well, one big one; the stickers. I don't know what they did to the ones used for the ankles and wrists but they have the worst adhesive ever and refused to stay down while I was applying them; I totally expect them to fall off at some point. More egregiously though, the silver stickers for his forearms are godawful, being imo off-colour and having an unclear application that made them look atrocious and crinkled by the end of it.

And uh. And yet. DESPITE all that. I cannot stop looking at him? Those sticker issues are absolutely overpowered by the solid construction of the kit and whatever tricks they used for that plastic injection to get the body colour right because he just looks gorgeous to me! The head as well is absolutely perfect, as is his "Yo!" hand (the one I'm going to keep on forever I think, because again, I can't stop looking at it). I love this figure. I went in expecting a bunch of flaws - a couple of which were true - but came out loving it more than most my FRSes so far
