I actually want the Devil..but I'm not really sure to how it will be actually. I mean, I've seen the item itself but unopened. I really wonder if its like an MSIA or something. T_T

Hi, here's my first Busou Shinki, Arnval. This action figure, IS VERY SOLID IN ARTICULATION. It is made of PVC and ABS. The plastic used is not cheap, very high quality as it said on the box "High Quarity", hehe, Quarity. The main joints will not break easily when doing extreme poses, hard and sturdy! Parts are hold solid, very good execution. No parts will bend except the hands since the hands are made of soft PVC. Almost painted like Gundam Fix figures. Lots of parts are included! Some parts can be lost since they are small. You can even store the remaining parts below the base stand included on the figure. The stand is very nice, one of the best designed display stand for an action figure. Very solid, not loose (uses screws and bolts) No loose joints outside the box, though I encountered some problems. Well the joints are one of the best released, but not that perfect. The groin joints looks fragile, but it will not be broken if you always handle it with care and not be forceful. Also some of the add-on parts are a little bit loose, like the ring-like where you put an armor or add-on parts. Sorry no pics were taken what is like. Also, some posings are limited, like using the long hair of Arnval, if you put it, it will limit the movement of the head and the upper body too. But not that much problem since you can still swap the long hair to short hair. No waist articulation though. The hands are just like the Microman figures. Actually the figure itself looks like a microman, it was just increased in size. Take note that the Busou Shinki figures can be customized into any possible form based from the parts and your imagination. Here are some of the results... Sorry for some lazy posings, tired from work. Base figure with short hair Base figure with long hair This style cannot be seen on the net. Customizable figures are great! Best posing I like! I like this! Comparison with Starscream With GFF#0009 HWS Nu Gundam With MG Freedom Gundam Will post some more pics. Really a great figure! Will complete it together with Revoltechs! Thank you viewing, ope you like it! vic01

Thank you and no problem guys! I also pre-ordered on HLJ for the next series and weapon packs, I tell you, this are great figures, eventhough no clicking joints like revoltechs, they are amazing on their own design. Hopefully will get the Devil Strarf, Rabbit Waffebunny, Maochao and Howling this december. How much do they cost there in PI? HLJ costs only average of $30 and EX weapon set like $13. Retail here is $37-$50. Bought mine on local store for $50, too much I guess but can't resist. Ebay sellers have ridiculously prices like $70!!! How about this? Thanks to MannyD of R-J for the links from Toysdaily. Nice customizations! I don't want to do it on my GFFs but pretty cool, lots of modifications to do to fit the figure of shinkis. I can't resist Waffebunny!!!! You need a new body for her to build the Rabbit Waffebunny figure though. Konami will produce MMS naked White, Black and Flesh bodies on January 2007. Sweet!!!! cms.or.tp/%7Egamu/gangu/konami/busou3/waff.htmlBetter to use the Devil body coz its black. Much better if all black colors. Go to their website: www.busou.konami.jp/figure/index.htmlThank you! vic01
