Gaia looks looks cool; wish it wasn't a web exclusive but oh well.

Additionally, Jonias arrived today. I got the silver version.



For a Tamashii exclusive, it's not exactly lacking in the accessory department.



For some reason, I've had some issues to keep him standing when I spread his legs out wide. No matter how much I fiddle with him to find the right balance, he often feels a little...off. He can stand, but in some poses the slightest movement can send him falling. The body's a bit more stockier than the usual Ultra, so he has a commanding presence, like Father.

Hands pop back on easily enough but taking them off feels like it takes a wee bit more force than usual (compared to the Showa Ultras, anyways). The way they hands are molded into each effect part, it might be a little trickier to get it to peg into the wrist joint snuggly, but eventually they pop on securely.





It's a nice release; I would've been tempted to get the anime version but there's already too much stuff I've purchased or want to from last month through Christmas, so I only went with this one. I am glad I got him now since I don't know if I'd be as motivated to hunt one down should the price rise dramatically on the secondary market. I've noticed that neither version has shown up on Mandarake yet (unless a mismarked one got past my saved searches on Figinstock, or it sold super-duper quick) even though the other October web exclusive Figuarts have made multiple appearances, so I'm curious how widely available either version of this guy will be.
