MAX FACTORY Figma/BANDAI S.H. Figuarts CCS Sakura Kinomoto

[Tasuke]

so, after a few months now of owning the MAX FACTORY Figma treatment of "Catch Me Catch You" Sakura Kinomoto,
i stumbled across the BANDAI S.H. Figuarts version of the same for a price i couldn't say no to,
after ignoring the Figuarts initial street release about 6~12 months ago,
in favor of fence-sitting for the later release of the Figma about 4~6 months later.

now, with both together in front of me, i'm glad to have eventually caved in, as each are a fine likeness indeed.
the Figma skews closer to the Manga depiction, and the Figuarts closer to that of the Anime series.
both have equal charm in my book, and are absolute treasures for the CCS/CLAMP fan;

Version Figma is pretty cute but I can see how I ordered Figuarts by mistake now.

Now that you have them side by side. I can see Figma's skirt(Star wand) is flouncier. Would you be getting uniform and skates version?

i'm hoping to get the Figma Sakura Sailor Suit ver. and the Tomoyo Daidouji as well.

i don't know if i'll be able to swing either when they come along, but we'll see...
