mayoraaseiI need to block ebay from my browser to prevent myself from making impulsive bids.
I made a bid on Gintama figures without expecting to win it and now a week later I have 5 boxes sitting in my room and I don't know what to do with them because I'm too embarrassed to put it all together and besides there's no space for them except, figuratively, between my Ranma 1/2 and Rurouni Kenshin manga, where they rightfully belong LOL
The quality is okay. The faces and expressions are all carefully drawn, but there's some shoddy colouring-out-of-lines on Gintoki's robe (although, surprisingly, some nice shade variation on Takasugi's robe). I've never bought figures before so I'm not exactly sure how you're supposed to judge quality apart from, I guess, checking if they fall apart when you put them together.
Also, can anyone enlighten me to what that piece of grey chewing gum enclosed in the box is for? >__>
Incidentally, this is what they look like
The Okita I got is actually wearing his blindfolds on his hair which I guess is a bonus rather than a mistake? Except the blindfold painting is all over the place.
Katsura came with his head detached which freaked me out a little since that's the first box I opened LOL His hair is really nice though, it's billowing and animated without looking like tentacles.
I really liked the poses of these two from the picture, as well as the detail of the gold trimmings of the Shinsengumi uniform (and accidentally bid because of it Orz). It's a shame that the other three are in fairly boring/standard poses, although now that I look closely there's some nice shadowing on Gintoki's robe too and he's wearing a smirk XD
But the pose is nowhere as interesting as the figure where he's scratching his kintama. But I don't want one of him scratching you-know-whats....... He should have been at least picking his nose, not looking cool XD (Ahem...this guy is the main character after all...)
And Hijikata should've at least been drinking a bottle of mayo. *Shudders*
