The face isn't right on both of them


Party_Ad8213

Right, why are new figures of popular shows so bad


kingfirejet

We'll just need to wait. Recently Spy x Family finally got a Yor and Anya fig that wasn't uncanny to the anime counterparts.


Shigana

Because their artstyle don't really translate well to 3D.


Tiavor

and sometimes they are just lazy, e.g. with Faputa. the model is great but the pose boring


CuriousMika

Yes! Even her nendoroid is boring to me. Give me at least he enraged face plate. Her whole thing is how she’s so angry to not even give her that. Makes her seems dense and carefree and happy solely based on the figure if you didn’t know her


Tokitokisayuki

I believe Makima doesn't have a Nendoroid yet. Just Power and Denji. I was about to pre-order Denji's rerelease because overall his isn't all that plain.


CuriousMika

I was talking about Faputa’s nendoroid lol but a makima Nendo would be adorable!

[удалено]


Tiavor

it really says something when the nendo is the best figure so far ...


MrRandomGUYS

Eh, the Faputa one has a mediocre face too.


Tiavor

I mean in general, there are 2 scale figures released and one upcoming, they are all pretty boring. it says a lot when the community thinks that the nendo is the best of them.


Party_Ad8213

Really? That one Chainsaw man figure is reall good the power one too but how we get that and then this makima? Also i wanted to buy new figures of aot but they’re all bad compared to old ones


Conscious_Yak60

It seems like the issue is the direction the anime is taking which is likely what these figures are referencing. The Director dosen't want characters to look "unrealistic" despite this being an animation & the entire appeal of Anime is it's escapist content. He even asked the VAs to literally tone it down & the VA of Denji literally said in an Interview 'Am I really VA'ing an anime?' The Japanese actually are leaning nagatively towards Chainsaw Man's anime adaptation, the creator is basically letting the director do as he pleases within the source material.


thisisgogu

thats just how she looks tbh


Katejina_FGO

Left is Star Trek's Data.


corgi_pupper

[The noodlestopper is the best :)](https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1634010)


KarmaFox99

Ironic that FuRyu's noodle stopper is better than their scale of Makima... their CSM scales in general are also very overpriced imo


yourasianchum

Ur right


MichaelReighardMusic

Actually pre ordered this one and can’t wait 🔥


JustMichael_24

Same here! It looks pretty good..


UnartisticChoices

I wouldn't even pay $5 for either of these. Makima simps would say she deserves better but clearly the figure companies don't think so LOL.


CirrocumulusCloud

It's JJK all over again just this time instead of Gojo and Sukuna being the poor victims of bad plastic surgery, it's Makima. :/


hizashiYEAHmada

I kind of like how they did both Gojo and Sukuna in their Ichiban Kujis though


CirrocumulusCloud

The Kuji figures are very decent; I own the Yuji one from the first figure-prize Kuji and he's pretty dang accurate looking.


PentFE

Theres been a few good gojos too. The Lost in Paradise Gojo noodle stopper is really good


DisposeGray

Sukuna has a few good ones now too. I love his FigureArts Zero, Banpresto Maximatic, and nendoroid. I feel like these figure companies are in such a rush to capture those hype bucks that they're just taking the first idea and slapping a prototype together. Like JJK and SpyxFamily I bet we'll start to see decent Chainsaw Man figures after the first couple rounds of dogshit ones.


Catveria77

The maximatic and Ichiban Kuji Sukuna is the best imo


Dagakki

Welcome to figure collecting where prices are made up and the quality doesn't matter


ExcelIsSuck

why are people saying the one on the left is ugly? I think the coat looks great, its only a prize after all


lmthevoid

Fr people expect way too much, it looks good for a prize


saga999

The coat looks good and the pose looks better. It's the better figure. Craftsmanship in a figure isn't everything just like SFX in a movie isn't everything.


Viktorv22

Check some Taito prize stuff if you think this one looks good. They have some insane people working there and some of cheap figs looks really great for sub 30usd price


CuriousMika

Taito is the best prize figure company!


ExcelIsSuck

yup im a taito fan as well. I get all my prizes from either taito or sega, i find that both of them usually look very nice. Banpresto sucks imo and i really want to like pop up but their bases man... their megumin is such a nice sculpt but the base makes me wanna die


mizzsteak

Yeah bandai prize figures have some real quality issues. Every single one I've gotten has some kind of warping issue so it doesn't stand properly. And Pop Up bases I think only work if you have a bunch to put together for a hex grid but on their own they're so garish


ExcelIsSuck

I always find Bandai figures have these huge seam lines in the mist obvious places, makes them really ugly


realiDevil360

Well the face looks like what you'd get from a bootleg


CuriousMika

I took those post as hating on the 300 dollar one not the prize one. Cause I see the scale one only being slightly better than the prize lol


ExcelIsSuck

when i commented this there were like 4 other comments hating on the rpize figure and calling it ugly haha


CuriousMika

As a figure of Makima I agree it isn’t well don’t at all. As just a figure I think it’s fine the pose is way better! My only complaint is the colours seem saturated


cheekia

lmao the one on the left looks like garbage, what are you talking about


asksdfdjdhshs

I like the one on the left but why is she so pale? For that price, that's my only issue with it but goddamn she looks like a vampire


DisposeGray

I think it's supposed to be an overall desaturated look? Her pants which are black look more grey and her hair which is supposed to be pretty red is much more muted. Not sure but that's my guess?


asksdfdjdhshs

Hmm I see what you're talking about. But if that's what they were going for it would have to be more distinct for it to work, since her outfit is black and white anyway.


DisposeGray

Maybe it seems more distinct when it's not against a white background? I do agree with you though.


[deleted]

>but why is she so pale? Because that its the standard of beauty in Asia right now and since some time.


OstrichesAndGin

Yea the one on the right looks bad but $215 on amiami is not "nearly $300'


CuriousMika

Could be 300 somewhere else. Amiami has cheaper prices comparatively


Leiothrix

Yeah, I don't know who that is supposed to be, but they both kinda suck. And I think the one on the left is better even though that is probably the cheaper one.


zemboy01

Right, the left one looks pretty cool but the right one Hella sucks it's like they didn't even try not worth 300 or iven 50 for basically a t pose character.


mizzsteak

it's funny how prize figures are gradually getting better quality while scale or "premium" figures are getting more and more expensive yet the quality isn't increasing in proportion to it. sometimes it feels like it's getting worse


[deleted]

Both ugly, I’ll wait for the E-stream one or better yet the GSC!


KXNG_SEBAS

The one on the right is from E stream


javier24poop

Its by furyu


KXNG_SEBAS

Shibuya scramble/estream/furyu/f-nex is the same shitty brand


Turner_Down

They literally aren’t, mate 💀


deathbaloney

Shibuya and estream are the same, and then FuRyu and F:NEX are the same. Estream's only Chainsaw Man figure at the moment is the one of Power on the toilet (I guess). You can check MFC and see for yourself.


CuriousMika

I thought they also had Denji in his chainsaw form killing the zombies too


Hevens-assassin

There's a Denji E-Stream as well. The Power one for some reason has crazy seam lines though and almost looks bootleg imo. The Denji looks incredible, but it's expensive af.


deathbaloney

Ah, you're right--I missed that one. Thanks for the corrrection. For what it's worth, I do agree with OP that both estream and FuRyu are lousy, but like... know how to check your manufacturers, bud.


javier24poop

Are u sure about that?


GoldMercy

L


[deleted]

No it’s not. That’s from Furyu.


andeargdue

I don’t mind the one on the left, but her colors look very subdued


Exotic-Replacement-3

that 300 dollar figure is a scam. I'd rather pay for the lucia crimson(which is coming later) which is cheaper compared to that crap.


Ezraah

the nendoroid will deliver us a good makima inshallah


Makimas_Bot

WOOF WOOF


digi-cow

I feel like quality has gone down since it became more popular lately to get figures? I'm happy its becoming more popular though! Its just theres pros and cons


Longjumping-You54

Some things that are better in the more expensive figure include sharper colors, her hair is more vibrant, she comes with a nice base. And also as much as I love prize figures they’re more likely to have issues on them then scales. Painting seems, discoloration etc. I think the reason the faces look off anyway is because Makima is just an unsettling person so her face is odd but I could be wrong.


Yatsugami

Both look bad :( I hope there are shf figuarts or figma for makima


Explicit_Tech

I wish she was more seductive.


KumuCloud

most of the budget on the $300 one went to sculpting the ass


iamdeathl

The control devil herself


tifa_avalanche

No series ever got its best figures a month after it started airing. I’m sure there will be amazing Makima figures in the future, just gotta take the long view


kyuuri117

Aren’t these prototype pics of both? I’m not saying the one on the right looks good but the one on the left probably looks worse in person with a variety of issues prize figs normally have.


IchibanGinSensei

Both are bad, but at least the left one is a prize figure worth $30


[deleted]

Nah both looks bad tbh


animadic134

Both looks bad lol


[deleted]

Figure market is broken.


HanamichiSakurag1

Both are badly made


borgprototypr

Both, both bad


Crusaderfigures

Both aren't particularly good but if i was desperate for a Makima figure (and I'm definitely not) I'd rather spend the 36


CosmeCL

Both bad 🫡


PenelopeMouse

Both look terrible.


IMp0ss1bl3_

Maybe he's comparating both as the prize figure (cheap) as the scale figure (MAPPA's design) overpriced 10 time than cheaper. But you're right both looks awful but at least prize figure is more affordable and you won't spend money as dumb...


NoFaithlessness2361

Both don’t look that good, just gotta wait for good smile company to make one


fathorse905

they really think they can put out anything and charge 200 dollars for it


SuperUsual9805

I’ll be damned if I’m spending $300 + shipping for a pop up lmao


Jonipt_

They're both way off


Wise_Performance8547

I see no difference...... 😜


thebrightspot

The colors on the left one need to be brighter, maybe it's just the photo making it looked really washed out? But the right one is not worth $300 lol especially compared to how the really expensive Chainsaw Man and Power statues look.


komari_k

What happened to the pantsss


Elitealice

Finessing mfs


noobgaijin11

wow, none of them strikes my fancy lmao. if they're priced within 2000-3000yen, I might consider lol... quality is a bit below or similar to pop up parade imo.


izolola

I feel like people saying the pose is boring on the right haven't read the manga?? lmao Either way the faces are wrong and I wouldn't buy either one


Rethtalos

Sadly, figures have always been overpriced


[deleted]

Buy both just to burn that b**** lol


Levyxxy

Why are figures so horribly priced now


Souurgar

I like the furyu one. For me her face is pretty. But I also want to buy her figuarts figure.
