As promised, here it is, the review for “Figma Takamachi Nanoha Barrier Jacket Ver.” by Max Factory ^^
Figma Nanoha was released earlier last month on May 24th, 2008, and is my 4th Figma figure that I acquired. Well, just like previous Figma releases, she’s another great Figma figure to collect. The joints are solid for posing, which makes her really easy to do some extreme posing.
Although there are some problems with the figure. I don’t know if these applied to you guys (those who already owned Figma Nanoha), but the front hair keeps falling off, and can’t keep a firm hold of it. The hands are also quite difficult and hard to replace.
As for accessories, You get the usual 4 extra pair of hands, 1 extra Face & Hair, and also an extra Raising Heart Buster Mode, in which you can switch around. It also comes with 1 pair of “Axel Fins”, which then you can equipped it under her feet.
Paint job and details were still great, even for an action figure. Either way, Figma is still worth getting ^^
Anyway, on with the shots!!

Anyway, that ends my Figma Nanoha review~ Actually I want to take more shots, but Figma can be really addictive ^^; You can also view another great review of Figma Nanoha here by Foo-Bar-Baz
I’ll most likely do Chuchu Astram next. So look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/

Lovely background used for your shoot. I must say that gold paint used looks quite golden. Does it really have that much contrast/vibrance to it?
Also, for photoshopping, I would suggest using a background that’s solid in color so you can more easily extract Nanoha apart from it.

Nice photos there! Especially the action shots.
Anyway, i also got ALL the problems you mentioned above. I used tapes for the front hairs to make them fit into the head. As for the hands, i found that the right hand has some problem.

Your divine buster effect is pure win! If I were Banchou I’d take you off your position on the failmeter just for that.
And as to the magic circle, you could have found some of Nanoha’s magic circles as they are, and just shopped them on, I think.

@Nanu
Welcome ( ^ _ ^ )
Thx ^^
The Gold paint is pretty much does look like that, but the “added” vibrant is thx to the camera and lightening ^^;
Well, I would use a solid background, but right now I don’t have a background that match her ^^;
@Sonic
Thx ^^
Apparently my friend also have the same problems. You and me aren’t the only one ^^;
@C.I.
Thx ^^
lol, I was planning on that, but the Magic Circle won’t really blend in much. ^^; Unless there’s a vector art of it somewhere ^^;

I have the problem with the hair too. Hope mine isn’t bootleg. 😦
