Comments Hatsune Miku - 1/7 - Sakura Fairy ver. (Spiritale, Wing)

Poppypraise • 1 year ago • #106099682How would you say the quality is compared to ITEM #947675 & ITEM #1125002? I didn't order this figure so I can't really judge well for myself, but from what I saw in your photos the quality of the hair kinda looks akin to a prize's with how rough the hair is in some spots. Even the sakura decals look neater on the hair of ITEM #1125002.Are you sure you have seen photos of the actual final product of them? Because Taito's promotional photos are dreammy.

I own ITEM #1036612 and ITEM #886807 but not the pearl version you linked, but I don't think the final quality of them are so different from the normal version I own.

Very well... I don't have words to describe how much I hate ITEM #886807. Her bangs are way too short making her face look goofy. Her hair is fragile. The color IRL is off (the stocking is fluorescent pink). It is a $15 prize figure after all. On the other hand, ITEM #1036612 is cute, one of my favorite prizes figure. But again, awful hair gradient, paint bleeding, scratchs, her hair is very heavy and that makes the twintails not stay in place (I have to tight them from time to time). And that is ok for a prize figure. Oh, and the flowers in the hair are not decals, but painted.

Spiritale's Sakura has a scale figure quality. I would compare it with Kotobukiya maybe. In fact, I think Spiritale is better than Furyu's F:Nex line when they started.
Maybe I was too harsh in my close-up photos LOL (because it was a crop of close-up, so very enlarged.)
I would take a photos of these three together if I wasn't so lazy XD

bellechan • 1 year ago • #105923966snip Thank you! I will look around on AliExpress and Taobao.Redcat21 • 1 year ago • #105920059Nin-nin game has her for retail price ($221.54). I checked shipping and it quoted me $19.09 for surface mail to Texas, they had other shipping options as well that would be faster. Thank you for checking for me, unfortunately I’m avoiding Nin-nin right now due to the info about them on the forums here. They do always have great prices but it seems they’re behind on shipping and lacking in customer support right now. Her retail price was $173 USD (without shipping) and I have yet to find her under $200USD.

soratsukii • 1 year ago • #105907293ooh~ very interesting! personally, i like clear boxes because i can just take the blister out and display the figure inside the box (since i dont have anywhere to display safely away from dust)
the figure looks pretty good, although a little simple for a scale lol. but pretty nonetheless
Thanks for reading! ^^
Ironically, I don't have anywhere to put these clear boxes as cases lol

aineedyuu • 1 year ago • #105907133Thank you so much for your review! I normally only collect reg. Miku figures and I wasn't sure of Spiritale's quality so I didn't preorder this one. I've been really regretting it! I think she came out really cute and would be the definitive Sakura Miku for my collection. She's already hard to find close to retail...!
I was a bit disappointed with the branch seams (although they aren't so bothersome when fully put together) but I was surprised to see the misaligned decals. The few other reviews didn't show that, so that's a bit disappointing. I still love her expression and pose. It'll be interesting to see if her hair causes sagging/leaning over the next few years.
If you don't mind me asking where were you able to find her? I've been hunting on YJA! and Amiami but keep missing the lower prices close to her retail, and of course shipping to the US adds a lot to her listed prices already.

Thanks a lot for reading!! ^^
Even so I like how she turned out, I wouldn't trust them just yet to make pre-order.
I think since you have to use proxy to order her, she will be hard to find in retail price. All places I've seen she was close to $200 + shipping.
Japan is not shipping to my country yet. So mine ended up being $230 with no hassle and fast shipping was a good deal. And since you asked I got her in Aliexpress.

FakePsychotropic • 1 year ago • #105899251Thanks for this review, I've found quite a lot of the Sakura Miku figures released so far, even though most were prizes, to be lackluster nonetheless, and was excited for a proper scale release. I think this figure is missing a bit of polish but even so, I think it got quite a lot right. Unfortunately I just don't feel a pull for it now that I've seen user pictures. I didn't know it was an exclusive either, that's kind of strange. You'd think because this module is so popular right now they'd want to make bank off of releasing it normally
Thanks for reading!!
I think you said the right word: "polish". That is exactly what should be improved!
As far as I know all Spiritale's figures opened to pre-orders are exclusives. Maybe they don't want to mass product that much in the beginning.

LemonMIntCat • 1 year ago • #105899248Thank you for the review it was very helpful! I'm looking forward to seeing this spiritale design,ITEM #1295685 , so its good to see the quality and expectations. Even with the flaws she looks lovely!
Thank you! Yes, I love her even with the flaws.
I'm also looking forward to this Miku ^^~ her design is way more complex than this Sakura, let's see how Spiritale will do.
