I paid 220 USD for this figure a few months back, you got an amazing deal for her! She is my favourite Musashi, maybe because of her outfit and all the details
Ty for doing vids on the main Musashi figures and going over their strengths and weaknesses. Think I’ll settle for the Alter berserker. It’s a real shame that Phat’s one has such big QC issues since that is the only Musashi figure in her saber form
I do want one but I could only buy that many figures in a month 😭 This month there'll be two Sabers, another one which I haven't announced yet. Souji Okita Alter.
Thanks for your advice! I'm actually very keen on the upcoming Girls Frontline AR-15 figure, but realised it's by Phat! Do you have any thoughts on that specific figure?
The problem with Phat Company is their unpredictable inconsistency. When they get it right, they make very good figures. For example, their no game no life figures are mostly excellent. Meanwhile, this Musashi is one of their worse ones in terms of quality control. If you are concerned, maybe wait for feedback from other early bird buyers after release, because i don't think that AR-15 will become rare very quickly. If feedback is positive, don't drag too long before buying though. AR-15 is very popular.
@@EXkurogane Haha, you're killing me with your advice at the end! So I'm in Japan and use AmiAmi. The AR-15 pre-order was sold out but just became available a couple days ago (probably some cancellations). So not sure if I should pre-order now or will they sell out instantly when in stock from next month!
sir, is there any chance if you'd sell it as preloved-owned figure to other person? (like me for example) because i want her so bad eventhough it's a redflag #kindatoxicrelationship #aslongasitain'tbitexpensive
I have this figure (never displayed, just opened to check condition) and it has a scuff on the top of the head as well. Not as bad as yours, but it's still there. I attribute it to the poor design of the packaging causing rubbing on the figure during shipping. Mine doesn't seem to have any other obvious paint flaws otherwise
@@EXkurogane That would be cool and different for sure. I had a Scathach bunny figure that had damaged tights and paint flaws and thought about doing the same thing, but I just ended up eBaying it so I didn't have to deal with it

What a coincidence, I was thinking of purchasing this one recently but decided to pass as the QC is too risky for the high price. Man, phat always picks up characters I like and has decent sculpts, but lackluster QC and imo mediocre paintwork. Hair on their figures always has weird paint clumps and bad finish, among many other problems. Personally won't purchase from them again no matter how tempted I am and Hokusai's quality for the price is also not worth it as there's not much shading. I purchased the GSC summer one instead.
It's really sad man. The only decent Phat figure i owned was Jougasaki Mika from Idolmaster. Hokusai, I'm praying for the value to plunge a bit (hopefully it happens) before i consider. 😭
@@EXkurogane Yeah, especially since I prefer Saber Musashi the most. Everytime I see a cool concept or a character being made by phat I'm just like damn... why Phat lol. It's definitely possible since amazonjp has been having some nice deals lately with figures going as low as 30% (mostly 8%~15% off though), and with the yen value being low for me, I've been getting some great deals. I do think if she was a lower price she'd be worth it, but that huge ass box will cost a lot to ship anyway...
phat company is like hit of miss for me gotten like 2 danganronpa figures from them and the quality control is so hit of miss ur legit flipping a coin when u buy a figure for them it terms up really good condition or its already starched before u even open the box
I had Jougasaki Mika from Idolmaster and the first batch of Kirigiri Kyouko from Danganronpa. Those two were very decent. And then everything else I've experienced with Phat were just a giant mixed bag of QC issues
@@EXkurogane my dangranopa 2 chiaki figure was in really good condition but my kirigiri kyouko re release the acrylic part of figure was full scratched XD when i open the box XD
@@jamiljj7248 damn. It's really hard to review figures accurately like this when every unit is not the same. But at least it solidifies the fact that there are some serious inconsistencies going on with a product or a brand.
From the sounds of it, definitely youtube algorithm. For example, you've commented something that was flagged, in other videos from other channels. RUclips responds by shadow banning you for a certain amount of time by removing your comments about 20 or 30 seconds after it was posted.
@@zekken987 yes, previous offences are actually punished. I don't know for how long - 1 week, 2 weeks etc depending on whether you are a repeat offender I guess. This was actually something that my sister told me, otherwise I wouldn't even know either. On Facebook at least you are notified if you get zuucced but youtube doesn't tell you.
I have a Casual Ver of her. She looks too good to miss
Well it's Alter after all...

Nice. You have a better copy of the figure then. I wonder if I should just convert mine into a battle damage version lol

Yeah from what I seen, chinese collector is super technical and have higher standard.
Yes, i do think that if the price drops in China, it's a red flag
The figure is pretty,
But damn the minor flaws let me see why i think 2 times befor i buy one this expensiv :/
It's just so random. Someone touching wet paint. Seriously. How does something like this pass QC
