【figure review】RAH Miku Honey Whip Deluxe ver.【vocaloid】
(side note: i wrote this review when i was like 15, please excuse the amateur-ness)
Finally! Here I have some pictures of my new Miku RAH (Real Action Heroes) doll from Medicom toys. I've never reviewed anything before, but there are some things I'd like to point out for others that would like to purchase her! These photos are taken by my phone, so I apologize if they aren't that good. Also, please click on the images to see them better, sorry they're so large.
First, here is her Honey Whip outfit, designed by saitom:
It's a nice blend of cute and sexy. Her outfit includes many details, from the gold buttons on her shirt to the little clasps on her bra and skirt (everything else uses velcro)
This doll also includes 4 face plates: the default smiling face (shown above), a wink face, singing face, and an innocent kind of face!
The only complaint I have of this outfit is that her bra keeps falling out of her shirt, and her straps fall off her shoulders. It's a little annoying, but it's understandable.
She also has 4 different pairs of hands: the default relaxed hands, pointing hands, open hands, and closed hands. I don't have pictures of them though.
Now, here is her Supreme outfit, designed by redjuice:
This outfit is only included in the deluxe version of this doll, making it very special. I personally like it more than the Honey Whip outfit because of its elegant look, with a tinge of cute. She even includes her little bracelets, so cuuute!
One thing I'd like to mention about this outfit are the shoes. To put on the shoes, you put these little feet on Miku, slip on her high socks, and slip the shoe on. However, the shoe seemed to be a little bit small for her...
The English instructions (yes, the doll includes very detailed English instructions. Thank you Medicom!!) say that the shoes become harder in colder temperatures and need to be warmed up. I recommend that you place the shoe on a gentle heater for a minute or two and try putting the shoes on again. It took me almost half an hour, but it worked out.
Right! Now we have the main doll out of the way, there are some more important things I want to point out.
Firstly, the doll's body can be stained by the fabric of the clothing. It's common for this to happen on other dolls too, luckily the only noticeable stains are on her feet and torso, both of which are always hidden, but I just thought you should know.
Also, I had some issues with her plastic stand and her head. It seems that the screws holding them together were on WAY too tight! I had to loosen them with a screwdriver so they could move. How horrible would it have been if I had broke the stand, not knowing it had to be loosened? Please be careful!
Next, the posing abilities! I was surprised how well this doll could move, especially her legs. Miku can do a split in both directions. Her arms have trouble getting close to her sides, but they can also bend upwards very high! The only place with difficult movement is her neck. It can bend down, but not up or sideways.
I'm very satisfied with her movement overall.
Lastly, RAH Miku is HUUUUUGE!! Here she is in comparison to a water bottle, an amiibo, and a PSP game:
This doll was purchased at NAVITO WORLD for $430, but I've seen them on eBay for only $200. Though I love the hell out of this thing, the price is very steep. If you think she's worth it,
I don't think you'll be disappointed! How could you pass up such a sweety face?
