Homura – 1/7 – Max Factory (Xenoblade 2) – My Comment
Introduction
I’m a huge fan of Xenoblade 2, which you could actually see in my review of that game. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the preorder of Homura. Then it was quite hard to get it at a reasonable price. I found it on Amazon Japan a few weeks ago, and basically without thinking I used the カートに入れる (add to cart) button. Especially since it was listed at a price slightly lower than the manufacturer’s recommendation, and it was new. The whole package was delivered in four days by DHL and the contents were in perfect condition.
Workmanship
With figures in this price category (let’s face it, it wasn’t cheap), you expect the highest standard of painting, sculpting and general workmanship. I’m happy to say that, in this case, we definitely get what we pay for. There’s even a Nintendo Seal of Quality hologram on the box. The painting is perfect. I haven’t noticed a single – even the tiniest – defect or inaccuracy.
Homura fits the stand perfectly. An additional metal attachment makes the whole thing even more rigid. You don’t have to worry about it falling over or breaking under its own weight after some time. The only thing I could complain about is the foil around the neck. It was extremely difficult to remove it. I even tried with precision tweezers but small fragments remained. I didn’t want to wrestle with it as I was afraid of damaging the paint. You can see it on a few pictures.
Other remarks and summary
Homura (Holy Grail) is my favorite character from the game, so I simply had to become the owner of this statuette. I don’t regret the money I spent, and I’m sure that everyone who buys it will also have similar feelings. I recommend it wholeheartedly (but I don’t think I need to confirm it to other fans, because they probably already have her).
