Review - Nidhogg 1/8 by ActoysReview - Nidhogg 1/8 by ActoysReview

bellechanbellechan3 years ago
Hello everyone! Today I bring a review from a figure that is probably not much known.

Nidhogg from Shen Dai Meng Hua Tan (Bibble Bullet) made by Actoys. She is 1/8 scale with 24cm from base to the top of the Staff.
Chinese game and Chinese manufacturer = not allowed in database. *cries in the corner*
I know nothing about Actoys and I hesitated to pre-order her. I got after the release and I'm not disappointed at all by the quality. I'm quite surprised, tbh.
Released in January, 2020 for 19,224Y. She is not difficult to find, I bought her at Amiami.

This review is massive image heavy (+50 pics).

She is based on this illustration. Very pretty.

The box
The box is big and the shipping package was heavy (almost 2kg). She doesn't fit in a Sal-R.
Sorry, I don't have images of her inside the box. My husband and I were very excited to take her out and disassemble and putting her back was NOT an option. She isn't very hard to assemble but not that easy either. I would rate the difficulty 7/10. You can take her head out although it's not shown in the guide.

The figure
Let's see an overview. Sorry for the lack of an animated 360° lol

Her hair is really well made. Not many seam lines nor sloppy bubbles of painting! It's metallic silver bluish.

Hers scales are also metallic blue.
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402738.png

The attention on the details is amazing. The gold parts are very well made.
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402737.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402740.jpeghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402741.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402745.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402746.png

In fact, the staff is the most difficult part to assemble. It has some metal wires coming from it that go behind her, so you have to be careful to where they go to not get stucked in the hair or others parts. They are black, covered, I believe. I don't think they will rust in the future. Oh, and you can't bend them easily, so they don't lose shape.

The wings have a nice gradient from black to dark blue.
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402751.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402752.png

I like how her wings pull out from her skin. It seems very painful tho.

This is how the wing hole looks like w/o the wing. Again, painful LOL
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402757.png

She is attached to the base by her both foot (pointed out in the red circle). That is my only concern about the figure. I believe that she needed a deeper and metal peg. I will have my eyes wide open for a possible leaning.

Now. More and more pics.

I hope I could show how nice and well done the paint work is. I didn't find any major flaws or painting bleed. The only flaw I found was a flick of silver paint on her knee (that you can't see normally due the angle).

Size comparison
Using Rem 1/7 ITEM #464666, Melty 1/8 ITEM #113211 and Luka 1/8 ITEM #467223
Honestly, by the size of her box, I thought she would be bigger. But her size is appropriate for said scale.
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402758.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402759.pnghttps://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402760.png

This is her in my shelf. Angels and Demons (ok, she is a dragon)
https://static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/pictures/2020/03/08/2402761.png

That is it! My personal opinion is that she is incredible and amazing! You should get her if you are in doubt because of the unknown company (Actoys). I can say without a doubt that she is now one of my favorites figure of my collection. <33

You can also check some photos taken by my husband. He uploaded some days ago ^^~

CulturedMan2 months ago#126945474And what about in 3 years ^^ I'm hopping I can find her somehow so I'd like to know if you've encountered some issues with her so far.
Thanks <3
hmm... yeah... Not good news. How do I explain that...?
Her pegs foot started to not support her weight.
Her staff started to lean (as it is very heavy). I would compare this with what happened to GSC's Madokami bow. I put a figma stand to support it and after a while it went back to place. But I decided to put her back in box.
No problem with the wings.

With all that said, I still don't regret having her as she is very unique and I love her. But I'm sure it is a deal break for most of ppl.
If I knew about those issues I could have prevent all this problems by providing a stand for the staff and foot peg. As I did with my Madokami and she is perfect even after 9 years.

But I advice to not buy her second-hand.

bellechan3 years ago#79255017I went to check her to be really sure to answer you.
So, she didn't move at all. I check her pegs foot and no sign of leaning. Same for the wings.
I hope it helps you if you are deciding on getting her ^^
you can pm me in 3-6 months and I check her again xD

Tsumuro3 years ago#79220411Since you've probably had her for a while now, does she show signs of leaning?

Really an impressive figure. The only nitpick I have is that the parts where the wings attach to the back look very painful indeed, which is not as visible on the original art.

Thank you for the review! :)

bellechan3 years ago#76260012By flattened bottom, sitting surface, you mean her butt? Maybe it's the photo, but her butt is pretty round and well shaped >////////<
