Piapro Characters - Hatsune Miku - Hobby Rangers Trading Figure

First let's look at the category. This is a 'trading figure' on MFC which means she is in the same category as a gashapon figure. You know, those little toys you get out of those Japanese toy capsule machines. So yes, she is small. She however is bigger than most if not all of the gashapon figures I own personally. She's larger than a Nendoroid mini but of course smaller than an actual Nendoroid. She is so much better than a Nendoroid mini. She has a magnetic base that the tea pot attaches to. She has various flower decorations to litter about the base for the said tea pot. You can either have her holding the umbrella or the tea pot lid as a makeshift umbrella (as shown in the illustration that she is based on). I had no issues with attaching either one of these to the figure myself as others have stated, so perhaps I got lucky. Not every figure will have the same issues. I also do not show this option in the video. And finally, the box she comes in is perfect for displaying her, though doing so does consume more space on a shelf than not using it. She is pretty well done. I have found no great issues with the details or her paint job. She is not issue free of course. I, for example, cannot get the bigger flower to stay on the base as it is pictured in the promo shots. The tea pot doesn't allow for it and as I said it is magnetized so it sits in only one spot on the black tray base. It also doesn't hold the tea pot steady. If you move her in the slightest the tea pot will tip over because she is 'top heavy', and the bottom of the tea pot is small. I am struggling with making a video of her because of this unsteadiness. I like the magnet idea usually but, in this case, maybe a peg to keep her attached to the base would have been wiser, or at least a wider and flatter tea pot bottom would have helped dissipate the Weeble wobble that is going on. Overall, though these are fixable issues. Two-sided tape can cure the wobble and the flowers can just be positioned differently. For the cheap price she is well worth it in my opinion.

Neat and cute. It’s a nice display especially on an office desk

Every choice that I've ever made in life has led me to watching this video.
