Hey fellas. Nadeshiko just came in. First impression: Damn this toy is LIGHT! The absence of diecast aside, the figure's female proportions gives Bandai a chance to skim out on a lot of plastic. Figure-wise, the articulation is standard Figuarts which is awesome. The Silver paint looks very striking and is relatively well done save for an unfortunately positioned scratch on her...right boob. Also the shoulder articulation where the arm and the shoulder pad meet feels rather flimsy. Might just be on mind.

The packaging is one of the most handsome designs I've seen on a Figuart in a while. This might be one of the few exclusives where I'll keep the box along with my Kamen Rider Joker box.

Is it worth the premium? Not really. It does come with a super awesomely pink Figuart stand which brings out all kinds of warm fuzzy feelings. If you have a Fourze, I'd try getting her to compliment him but don't pay over 70 bucks for her. I mainly got her just to have a feel of what future female Riders would be like. Hopefully Femme will have a little more heft to her. Not to say that a light figure is a bad thing but for the premium you'd be paying, I'm not sure if you feel you'd get your money's worth.
