Description I got my Reimu figma in today, and I'm very pleased with it. Untied shots are here.

One caveat for anyone who wants to replicate these--Figma joints are very fragile and don't take well to being re-posed repeatedly. My Miku's right knee gave out today--the joint's absolutely shot. I may try replacing it with a Revoltech part, as Max Factory doesn't sell replacement joints.

Would you mind telling me what you pay on average for a Figma figure? I know what they cost in Japan, but I am curious to know how much more you end paying up to order them.

For like HLJ or AmiAmi, it's reasonable to expect about $10 in shipping charges if you go with SAL. (EMS is faster and gives you a tracking number, but runs $20 or more.)

Reimu was exclusive to Comiket and particular stores, though, and so I had to get mine through a deputy. NForza on the Shrinemaiden.org forums got it to me for $55 in all.

Thanks for sharing that information. I guess you really pay for the whole importing thing. I got my share of figures when I visited Japan last summer. Saw most Figmas for about $20-25 and some even for half that price. My figures are from HGIF Gashapon, coming at an average of 300 yen. I should really stock up if I go back to Japan again XD

Sorry to hear that the joint on the figure broke.

It's a double shame that they don't sell replacement parts...

Shame the joints are fragile, that is impressively crafted.

Also, what site do you recommend? I thought about ToysLogic but they keep delaying whatever I ordered.

I actually got mine from a private deputy, preordered far in advance. Reimu was a limited release, so that turned out to be a judicious choice.

Reimu!

I got into the Shrine Maiden games quit recently.
I'm no expert in these kinds of games, so I beat 6 in easy mode by fluke...

10 is easier and more fun than 6, think thats my fav atm.
Still have yet to beat ANY in Normal mode...
