    Bruh why does he have such a limited articulation? Like Akaza has a design that could've easily been adapted on an action figure format just as how they did with Inosuke

    • @Zakjuh
      @Zakjuh Před rokem +12

      Right? For it to turn out this bad they almost had to make a deliberate attempt to put all the worst design decisions into it, as if they were trying to go "So how shit can we make this figure and people will still buy it?"

      They had the right idea but they executed all of it terribly. The buzzmod actually has pretty much the exact same articulation as the figma but actually implemented right.

      Technically, they are. Max Factory did the Rengoku figma while Akaza is an SP release and was done by Freeing. For some reason Freeing don’t use all the latest engineering techniques. This is really unfortunate as I was really excited for this figma

  • @osramain
    @osramain Před rokem +20

    Yeah, the moment I saw that he was being produced by freeing, my expectations for this figure dropped immediatly. To explain what is happening here, this is a completely different manufactuarer and NOT Max Factory. When it comes to the Demon Slayer line, Max Factory is what we're used to. This is a completely different manufacturer, which explains the drastic difference in quality compared to Rengoku.

    • @Zakjuh
      @Zakjuh Před rokem +5

      FREEing isn't universally bad. It's just that they tend to do the more gritty Figma over the typically anime ones, which begs the question: why did they produce Akaza? Why not just Max Factory, since they were also working on Rengoku anyway?
      It's true that FREEing Figma tend to be overpriced for what you get, but I can't say I anticipated this level of quality (or rather lack thereof) just because of the name FREEing.

  • @Zakjuh
    @Zakjuh Před rokem +38

    I was waiting for this one. As amazing as Rengoku was, I expected (based off pictures and reviews by other people) that Akaza would be in turn horrible in equal measure. It's absurd that these are two figures, both Figma, of similar price, released at basically the same time, from the same series, meant to be paired, and yet they're so wildly different in how they're executed.
    I can deal with him having so few accessories, even if I don't like it, I can deal with the atrocious Marvel Legends-tier ab hinge, even if I don't like it. What I can't handle is that we have a Brawler character, technically the most nimble of them all so far, and he has the worst articulation. Why do all of the other KnY/DS Figma have an existing and functioning knee joint, for example, and Akaza has this weird, pitiable Marvel Legends-tier hinge that doesn't even hit 90 degrees? If they were going to be lazy, just reuse the engineering of the other characters! Then they have his plastic shirt cut up in 3 in the back, presumably for butterfly joint freedom... BUT THEN HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY, and the plastic is so hard it you can't even press into it to get more out of it. WHY THE CUTS THEN!?
    A Brawler character! The guy who does kicks and jumps and flies around and he has the worst range of them all because some guy over at FREEing phoned it in hardcore. *10k yen btw*.
    Rengoku is amazing and has a slew of accessories.
    Akaza is incomprehensibly limited and has basically no accessories.
    It's like they were like "Okay, Rengoku is finished and he's pretty amazing. Probably one of the better recent Figma. Now how can we make every wrong design decision with Akaza to make sure he's basically a waste of plastic, time and money."
    How does this happen?

      @@arielazaria4680 Which would be fine if he came with Rengoku.
      But he didn't. You're right that he's meant to be paired with Rengoku, they're even on the promotional images together. But Akaza is still its own figure, a 11,000 yen figure.
      With basically 0 accessories and wonky engineering or just outright no engineering at all where there should be. If anything, pairing it with Rengoku only serves to illustrate the stark contrast in quality and effort.
      (I still want to know why the vest is cut up in three pieces if it doesn't do anything! Did they intend to add a butterfly in an earlier stage and then just cancelled that but kept the vest cuts? They serve no purpose now!)

      @@Zakjuh you're right about everything. I wonder how this figure would have turned out had it not been made by freeing. But it's not like freeing specifically had been making bad figures so I can't figure out how they manage to fubmle this so badly.
      When I first saw some in-hand images of akaza on instagram, there was a photo from the back and i noticed the vest and was like 'ew, oh wait that means he has butterfly joints like the rest of them, awesome' now I'm just... ugh.

    • @Zakjuh
      @Zakjuh Před rokem +2

      @@arielazaria4680 It really is strange. I would argue that FREEing Figma can be on the expensive side even by Figma standards, but they're never this outright mediocre. This is as grating as it is puzzling, if you ask me. Like, don't get me wrong, as someone who ordered him (just because I got Rengoku as well) I am frustrated, but I'm just as confused. So many things about this release are just outright strange that I really have to wonder what kind of weird stuff happened during the development of this for it to turn out this way. Like you and I both mentioned, the splits in the vest are one major thing that stands out, but the entire leg sculpt and engineering as well. I also saw someone pop out the lower leg (where it slots into the bottom of the pants) and it has a sort of rounded peg that makes it seem like it was meant to be articulated?

    • @arielazaria4680
      @arielazaria4680 Před rokem

      @@Zakjuh That's the perfect word to describe it - strange. I mean, is there even a single other figma with freaking pin joints? My best guess is that whoever was in charge of designing this figure, was rushed to have it ready fast so it could be out the same time rengoku is, thus resulting in a product that feels all but finished. If that's the case, then I feel bad for the designer. I simply can't imagine some higher up looking at it and not seeing any flaws with it. it had to have been rushed.

    I'm actually really happy with Akaza. I had my expectations basically set at nothing for him, and I'm actually happy with him! But Rengoku... He's in another league for sure (like you were saying). I got Rengoku in the mail yesterday and then Akaza today. Been a happy few days for me haha. But unfortunately Akaza was made by Freeing? Which isn't Max Factory... so I think that explains a number of things that were lacking on this figure.

    • @TheDustysoap
      @TheDustysoap Před rokem +1

      Same here too! I just got Akaza today and in all honesty, it ain't bad but definitely compared to Rengoku, Rengoku is just in a league of its own but Akaza can still pose really well despite the limitations. Also it is my first FREEing figma figure so just asking, is this like a common thing for FREEing figures or just this figure particularly?

    • @Zakjuh
      @Zakjuh Před rokem +3

      @@TheDustysoap FREEing, from my experience, tends to be pretty overpriced for what you get, but most of the time they're alright figures with decent engineering. This one stands out as particularly low-effort (or, worse yet, has hints of effort being put in and then unceremoniously dropped. See: the split vest sculpt which I can only assume was there to accommodate a butterfly at some point, but it doesn't have one)
      On the Figma side of things, FREEing is generally behind some of the more grittier and realistic figures, such as the Silent Hill ones, the Table Museum Figma and arguably also the God Hand Berserk Figma.
      Though Akaza is exceedingly mediocre for the price and company (imho), it's not the only recent FREEing Figma that isn't so well received. The Table Museum Tutankhamun was also blasted for the casket being extremely cheap looking compared to the promotional images.

    • @TheDustysoap
      @TheDustysoap Před rokem +1

      @Commander Javik thank you for the explanation 🙏 but that really really sucks to hear about FREEing tho cuz some of their figures do look really good in terms of the design and sculpt but at the cost of being pricey and having limited articulation. I still like the Akaza figure and don't regret the purchase for it at all but I will keep in mind around future FREEing figures for now on.

      I'm not even going to say BUZZmod killed Figma.
      I'm going to say Figma killed Figma. BUZZmod didn't even need to do anything. It just had to stand there while Figma seppuku'd itself in front of it. Which is hilarious considering there is a great argument to be made that the Figma Rengoku is vastly superior to the BUZZmod Rengoku.
