Meiya Mitsurugi UN Troop Ver. Figma
Posted by Persocom on Aug 22, 2009 in Figures | 8 comments
It’s a long time overdue, but I’m finally reviewing Meiya Mitsurugi. She comes in her UN Troop Armor from Muv-Luv Alternative, a sequel to the original Muv-Luv. I haven’t played either of them so I really can’t say much besides what I’ve found out after searching around a little. Perhaps I’ll give the games a try some day. I bought her simply because I liked her armor and sword, she seemed like a pretty cool looking Figma. She was bought from Hobby Search for 2,533 Yen, and if you’re interested she’s still available for purchase. Read on for the usual.
Meiya comes with 8 hands, 2 faces, and her sword and scabbard. I feel that she should have had at least 2 more hands, especially since her hands are unique to only her. In fact, as much as I’d love to say lots of great things about this Figma, it’s a bit disappointing. Her ponytail is jointed and removable, as well as the ribbons in her hair. Her head is almost entirely unable to be moved upwards or downwards, which isn’t too unusual for Figma, but usually they can at least move a bit one way or the other. I really think she looks awesome, and that’s the main reason I bought her in the first place. The only really annoying problem with her was her hands. All her hands have no mobility at an upwards angle, which really limits the possibilities with posing her. Aside from that they fall out somewhat easy, so take caution if taking her outdoors. Meiya’s legs are very flexible, but again her feet aren’t so much because of their bulkiness. So all-in-all, this is a cool Figma, but it’s very limited in movement and accessories. I don’t consider it a bad get since she looks great, but she’s a bit of a challenge to pose. I’m actually more disappointed in the pictures I’m using in this review than anything. I’ll probably do a second take in the near future.
Here’s a video of the opening song of the Muv-Luv Alternative game in case you’re interested.

Goddamn you get all the cool figmas!
Hope the other Muv-Luv girls get figmas too
Snark´s last blog ..Sayonara, Pimp-chan
I actually just opened mine today, and yeah, her hands and feet are a challenge to pose. They look pretty cool though, especially the boots. Don’t like how her ribbons are basically hard sticks … feels like they’re easy to break.

Snark – I hope so too, wonder about the papercraft throne thing too.
Acesan – Ah, I forgot to mention that part, but I’m not as worried about the ribbons as I am the hands. She does look cool but it would have been nice if she had more mobility.
The name Muv-Luv always cracks me up xD Shame her hands aren’t designed well, but she looks cool otherwise ^^
anon. object´s last blog ..Atelier Sai’s Kagami now shipping
I like the blue tones in her armor. Is she castofable??
phossil´s last blog ..10,000 hits
Down to catching up with the blogroll again after my Japan trip, this figma looks pretty nice. I finally picked up my 5th figma Kagami during my trip.
Wolfheinrich´s last blog ..Japan Trip Report Arrival and Day 1
anon.object – it’s a strange name.
phossil – nah, if she was I’d have shown it for sure.
Wolfheinrich – quite alright, I’m way behind on my blogroll right now, not to mention posting. 5 Figma Kagami’s huh?
I don’t like much the articulated figures but this one is appreciable.
Thank you for the review.
