Strike Witches Figma! Finally! And now AGP too...

For discussion of all the other girl+mecha lines that have cropped up since Shinki began: Frame Arms: Girls, Megami Device, Armor Girls Project, Desktop Army, etc. This includes kinda-sortas like Daibadi's Polynian and things like Strike Witches and Fumikane's original Mecha Musume.

Hmm. Well, after I have got my first shinki I might try to get a lucky star figma, or maybe a haruhi one.
This signature is so like, awesome.

Read the review. Very detailed. As for the paint rubbing issue, I haven't tried this yet but I would think a layer of clear coat dull or shiny, one's preference, would take care of that. As for the weight, is it too back heavy or front heavy again?
Gentlemen do prefer blonde's.

Now that there are several SW releases, which ones do you guys think are best, figma or AGP? Do they go along with each other as well as COMPOSITE Haruhi figures does with figma Haruhi figures? (My favourite ones haven't been announced as figma yet :( )

The AGPs have a few advantages (so far they've included some nice effect parts, and the stands are custom-printed Tamashii stages with a three-segment arm, which is a little nicer than the regular figma stand), but in terms of build quality, sculpt, paint apps, and general QC, the figmas definitely have them beat.

In terms of compatibility, they're close-enough scale wise to not look out of place next to each other, and at least for Yoshika, the AGP strikers fit on the figma's legs (they're a little loose, but they stay on OK), but it doesn't work the other way around as the figma's pegs are a bit bigger than the holes in the AGP's legs.

Thanks for the input. I know that I'll just get the first Charlotte released anyway :P
I'll probably end up getting one on each line to compare them... Wish I could get 2 Charlottes though XD

BUT!!!! But what if the 2 Charlottes are from the 2 seasons? One Charlotte from S1 and another from S2. Personally, I like the Charlotte from S2.

Then it's all the better XD
I haven't picked a favourite yet, so seasons or "movie", all is good.
I hear she's not in the movie, but something not existing has never been a problem for Bandai :P
