Ameri gets 4.5 Exelica out of 5

The good: – nice colors, good skin tone and beautiful painted eyes – exactly like the proto shots, even better – overall quality quite high (and that’s incredible from Orchid Seed)

The bad: – the original artwork was way more cute – is more like a 1/10 than a 1/8

I usually stay away from Orchid Seed, as their figures are always a disappointement. The retail version is always different and the painting is sloppy and far from, let’s say Alter or Max Factory. But with Ameri, they did it right. I mean, it’s the same as the proto shots, the beautiful colors are here and there is no paint problems anywhere. I would even say that it looks like an Alter figure. Yeah she’s that good. Only the hands and the gun could have been better but it’s a minor grip.

If you love cute and sexy girls, you won’t regret buying this one. Just don’t be sad when you’ll open her box, she is really tiny …

Of course, Mercedes is getting five Exelica out of five.

The good: – everything.

The bad: – ??? do i really need to write something here?

It’s simple, this Mercedes from Alter is the new “champion” in the figure world, there is no PVC more polished, detailled and stunning than this one. The paint used is simply gorgeous and the retail version is as perfect as every figures should be. The only minor gripe would be her arbalest that looks like a toy close up, compared to all the rest that looks nearly “organic”.

If you only have money to buy one figure this year, don’t hesitate one second. Really, don’t. It’s the first time i see a retail figure as flawless and perfect as this one, there is no dot, scratch or any little mark on Mercedes. I’m simply impressed and i’m just going to be even more hard on GSC now.

Now for the pics:

Hope you’ll like the pics, took me 3 hours just taking them.

Go buy your Mercedes now ^_^

Good: Great dynamic pose, base more detailled than usual, bigger than expected.

Bad: Control quality sux, some samples of Canaan are poorly painted at best. The hair is not looking too great, too bulky. Poor painting on the base, especially if you compare to the proto shots.

This Canaan is not a bad figure, mine is correct but i saw some very bad painted one out there. So another Good Smile figure, another lottery. Not as bad as the control quality for World is Mine but still really bad for Good Smile.

Canaan is getting three Exelica out of five.
