Bandai Tamashii Nations Konohana Sakuya "Persona 4" - D-Arts

D-arts is known for making lovely, highly posable figures...and this one is no different! My favorite part that's not in the stock pictures is she comes with a very cool, persona themed base with the face that's on the back of the arcana cards on a checkered background. Really fitting for the fig! Paint job is GORGEOUS! I spent just all this time staring at it...not a single dab of paint out of line. Beautiful gradients. Clear tips on the wings and feathers. Just-right shiny metalics All of this said, she is a PAIN to pose. Getting the wings/feather pieces to fit together onto her arms and not pop off is a struggle. I suggest making sure the curve of the feather wings goes downward, and adding her arm feathers last. The rest of her is very easy to pose and holds a pose well, just those wings. Also, the base is very sturdy and clicks in place in every piece. It keeps a quite heavy fig standing up straight, so I commend them for pulling that one off.

D-Arts figures are always quite nice and Konohana Sakuya from Persona 4 (first Persona used by Yukiko Amagi) is no exception. It stands well on its stand and looks very nice. There is a thing though, and the product picture is quite misleading on this point. The image of Konohana Sakuya standing with one arm above its head and its wings attached is an image of a pose not possible with the actual figure.The wings this figure comes with are in multiple, snap-together pieces, and once constructed, they are incredibly difficult to move and pose effectively. They are very stiff and come apart at what seems to be the slightest provocation; Konohana Sakuya's hands, as well, are difficult to insert into her wrists far enough that they'll stay in. Generally speaking this is a figure you'll spend quite a long time trying to pose in a nice-looking way and then not want to touch or disturb afterward, ever--and let me just say the wings are a huge impediment when it comes time to dust off the figure.Still, it's a nice figure, and if you're a fan of Persona 4 you'll probably want this at some point. It's just a lot more of a hassle than the other figures in its line, hence the four-star rating rather than five-star.

I just assembled this, and it. Is. PERFECT.Konohana Sakuya is my favorite persona from P4, and let me tell you, the model is absolutely beautiful. The painting is lovely, the wing feathers are lovely, it is simply gorgeous. I've never assembled a figure before, so the wing feathers were a little tricky to assemble (especially since the directions are in Japanese, but they have pictures that I could follow) and it's a little finicky to pose because of the feathers, but once you have it, she is BEAUTIFUL. A 100% quality purchase, the shipping was rather quick too, I LOVE this and I'm glad I bought it!! She comes with two extra hands and a very pretty posing stand that any Persona fan would love.

This is not a toy at all . Yes you can pose it in many positions and make it look gorgeous , however it does take lots and lots of patience to pose . I cannot stress enough the amount of patience you have to have when posing this figure , I have read other reviews about breaks and snaps , so do be gentle and try not pose too often . The paint job is amazing and the base is beautiful persona base . Again this is not an action figure meant to be played with like the kind you buy at Wal-Mart its more for anime/game figure collectors . Once posed and out on display its Gorgeous and Beautiful .

When I purchased this item it came perfectly fine in the box. Upon assembly many pieces broke and it turned into a completely useless pile of plastic. I was looking forward to this model very much, and now everything I ever wanted in this model died. Along with my hopes and dreams.

Great paint applications on a great looking figure make this an easy buy for fans of this somewhat niche persona, though the Persona's design somewhat limits the amount of articulation and posability you'll get. The included stand helps though, giving you a nice display piece in your Persona collection which pairs nicely with a Yukiko figure. She's well made, but frail by design. Don't take her into the TV world anytime soon.

Oh my god I love it!!! It comes with the stand and also another pair of hands, posing is a little difficult but maybe that's just me and be careful with the wings they are a little pointy at the end but other than that there is nothing wrong and it's beautiful

i love every aspect about her(poseability, paint, construction) but my only issue is her wings (not the ones attached to the top of her wrist, but the ones attached to the ones attached on the side.) they broke the first time i put them on her. and the ends of the wings are REALLY sharp. but besides that, i love her a lot and highly recommend getting her, but just be a bit more gentle than usual when playing with the wings.

Ppreciosa figura con una base espectacular no visible en las fotos. Cualquier fan de Persona debería hacerse con ella. Envio muy rápido y sin problemas por parte del vendedor.

Really likes how it looks, lots of different positions i can put it in. mine even came with a little extra gift though it wasn't really much it shows the seller really cares so thank you.

他の方のレビューが良かったので気にはなってましたが、若干高かったので買い控えしてましたが、突然半額以下に。正直、半額以下なら買わないのは損です。そのくらい出来は良いです。以前買ったイザナギもあまり出来は良くなかったので（そのわりに今プレ値になってますが）あまり期待はしてなかったですが、開封して飾ってみて、良い買い物したと久しぶりに思えました。フィギュアは価格の変動が激しいので、安いうちに買っておいたほうがいいでしょう。ちょうどもうすぐ、フィグマで天城雪子も発売されるので、一緒に飾るとなお良い感じになりそうです。可動フィギュアは高ければ出来が良いと思わないほうがいいみたいです。台座が、同サイズの他の可動フィギュアよりも丈夫に出来ているので、飾ると立派なオブジェになってくれます。とにかくこの価格の間に、ペルソナファンなら買うべし。悪い点は、若干股関節が取れやすいように感じました。あとポーズのつけ方に少しコツがいります。可動フィギュア初心者は難しいかもしれないです。しかしメーカーが違うからしょうがないですが、フィグマで里中千枝が出てるんだから、ジライヤでなく里中千枝のペルソナをなぜ先に出さないのか？で、フィグマもイザナギ出てるのになぜ主人公を出さないのか？

figmaペルソナ4「天城雪子」と飾れる専用ペルソナフィギュアです。他のペルソナフィギュアよりもクリアーパーツを多用し、華やかさに一役買うと共にバンダイクオリティ〜の塗り面積を減らす効果が発生しました（笑）可動域は、本体それなり、ディスプレイ時に重要な、腕から繋がる桜の花びら→一連。可動が連結しているので、全体の広がり・左右非対称には限度があります。

まず目立つ花の意匠と無駄のない本体フォルムという、高いデザインセンスの再現具合に感銘を受けました。塗装ではパールや金を交えつつ、部位毎のつや具合の使い分けなどメリハリが効いていて、色調的にも大変見映えがします。これだけ塗装表現を数多く盛り込みつつ、精度も高い例をあまり知らず「D-Arts」ブランドそのものにもあらたに(タナトスを買いそびれた経緯より)強い関心を抱きました。背面に花びら状の「羽パーツ」(以下、羽)を展開する際は、本体の台座から分岐するジョイントを使用する形を取っています。見映えと重量配分を上手く両立しているポイントかと。関節については、先の分岐ジョイントを使う背面用の羽同士はきっちりおさまり、手首と腕輪がややポロリ。この腕輪には手首用の羽を付けられますが、ここが一番のハードルと思いました。特に、高く掲げる際などは適当だと自重に負けてだらんと落ちることも少なくありません。が、肩と肘をしっかり合わせられればちゃんとサンプルやパッケージ画像の再現も出来、試行錯誤のしがいもあります。ジョイントについては、ネジ止め部のように強度が簡単に調節できない先端パーツなどがやや緩かったりで、間になにかかませておくと良いかもしれません。価格、完成度、高級感、十分満足できる逸品です。羽のカラーもサンプルよりほんの少しやわらか目で目にもやさしいです。発売は今しばらく先ですが、figmaの天城雪子とぴったり合いそうですね。※ 2012 7/26追記暑さでバラバラになったのを組み直して気づきましたが、しっかり固定できれば分離ジョイントにコノハナサクヤ本体を、メインジョイントに背面の羽を付けてみた方が安定するケースに気づきました。なかなか上手くいかない場合には試してみるのもよいかもしれません。
