Photo review of articulated figures

mini photo comparison between Revoltech 2G Yotsuba vs. Revoltech Fraulein Rei & Rin vs Figma Yuki

Basically having them do same poses.

Standing: - no problems having them just stand around


Standing with their arms pulled back:hmm... fruelein rin has a problem with her shoulder. it kinda pops out when you do pose her arms at the back. Figma yuki cant pull her arms back at all, so its just at the side


action pose (kinda): Yuki and Yotsuba have no problems with this pose. Fraulein, have a bit of difficulty as you can see, i had to bend their feet waay too much to hold them in place


kneeling: no problems doing them


leaning back: jaz taking it easy. Figma Yuki couldnt hold the pose with her arms pulled back, but she can still lean back without falling


sitting down: Yuki sits kinda lady like. Yotsuba is a kid after all so indian sit, fraulein couldnt sit at all, so they are kinda leaning back.


overall, i'm partial to figma as they are doing the whole cast of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and their facial scupts are great. Thing is, Yuki's head cant be posed looking up as her hair gets in the way.

Royal Rumble. Fighting it out. Who will come out on top?
