Final Fantasy X 1/6 Scale Yuna

Finally! My new cable arrived, and I can now take pictures of my figures for reviews. I’m sorry about the long wait to anyone who has been checking in. As previously stated, I am going to review the Final Fantasy X Yuna statue by Kotobukiya. Unlike Rikku and Lulu, Yuna can be found for a pretty reasonable price, though you are very unlikely to find her in a trusted figure store and will have to resort to the likes of eBay. No need to worry though, there are no bootleg versions of this figure! I’m hoping to later provide you guys with some helpful tips on spotting bootleg figures and safe figure shopping on eBay.

A very accurate and beautiful representation of the beloved Final Fantasy Heroine. Like the other two figures she also has a plain black stand, she fit into it very eaily and there was no trouble in that front. Her staff is removable, but why would you want to remove it?! Paintwork is very accurate, and I can’t complain of any smudges or unprofessional-ism, one thing that does bother me though is the colour of her skirt. In-game it is a vibrant yet dark purple colour, on the figure it is extremely dark and is ALMOST a blackish colour. The detail present on her obi is one of the most beautiful things about this figure, the flowers lacing around the yellow sache is amazing!

Not the most impressive work of facial paintwork I must say, and it isn’t as detailed and well polished as Rikku and Lulu. I think this is because Tidus (Who is of pretty bad quality compared to the rest of the collection) and Yuna were the first made and released, as the collection went on the quality got higher. This is one of the reasons Lulu is so expensive as she was the last in the series. Saying this though there is nothing particularly horrible about Yunas face, it not that fantastic either, somewhere in the middle i’d say.

Overall score: 7.8/10

Final Fantasy X 1/6 scale Lulu

The second in my collection of Final Fantasy X kotobukiya figurines. Personally Lulu is my favourite character from the game (though I am fond of all of them!). It was years ago that I bought this figure, and she came in around $100. Since she is so old I had to dust her off before taking pictures, as I was doing so I noticed some marks on her nose, they are very small but I am really annoyed about it as I have no idea where they have come from. I also noticed it is very hard to dust this lady off as i couldnt find anything small enough to get into her nooks, including in between her breasts!

I would say Lulu overall is highly detailed. The belts on the front of her dress are all different in some way and this is incorporated into the figure. The same goes for the flower design along her sleeves and end of her dress.  Where as she is not the most bright and colourful figures in the world, I feel she gives off a positive vibe. The moogle she holds really compliments the character as well as helping to add a bit of colour. The little red ball at the top of the moogles head isn’t very secure, so be careful when touching it, one slip of the hand and it’d fly right off. What is unique about this figure is the fact that she does not have a stand, she balanced using the train at the back of her dress.

Where as the face sculpturing and expression is very true to the character, something that bothers me a bit is the fact that the bangs on this figure are longer than what they are on the character for some reason. Her hair pins are all highly detailed and look beautiful. Her jewellery rest nicely on her boobies! Again her accessories are bringing colour to the figure.

Overall score: 9/10

Final Fantasy X-2 Yuna 1/6

Quite a common figure this one. I’m sure any fan of the final fantasy figurines has come across this one many times before. This was actually the first ever figure I bought! It was many years ago, and at the time the figure was actually quite expensive but these days it only keeps falling in price. As it is quite a cheap figures, most people believe it to be of low quality, but I am here to speak the truth!!

Here is the full picture of my Yuna figure. As you can see she is almost exactly like the prototype picture that is shown by most sellers and stores. Her pose flows quite well and looks very natural. As far as her side-skirt goes I feel the colouring is a little too dark as in-game it is a much lighter blue. Her top is probably the best part of the figure as it provided great detail in the pink lace and has a very realistic feel with the provided creases fitting the pose. Her guns are also very high in detail and I was very impressed with them.

Well . . as you can see the close up of her face is nothing to shout about. This to me is where the figure has let me down a bit, she virtually has no facial expression at all unfortunately. The eyes have almost no detail and look very bland, the lips also seem to look too thin in my opinion. On the positive side I feel the structure of the face and the placement of its features match Yuna to a T. Another thing I admire is the lovely detail put onto her small earring, though apart from those points I can’t say I’m too happy about the face.

Overall score: 7/10

If your a big fan of Yuna don’t let the cheap price put you off in this case, your getting a really good price for a really beautiful figure.

Final Fantasy X 1/6 scale Rikku

Any collector of Final Fantasy figures will know that the collection from Kotobukiya are highly sought after. Since it was so long ago these figures were actually released, they have only grown in price and popularity, and these days they are quite rare. I paid about $230 on this Rikku figure on e bay, I paid a little extra because she was a brand new unopened, untouched figure, even the box was in perfect condition. These figures are quite hard to get a hold of, I would say e bay is the best way if you have your sights set on one of them. Even if the figure is opened, as long as it is in good condition and comes with a box then go for it. 🙂

(I only own the Rikku, Lulu and Yuna figures of this series, but I will supply reviews and pictures of all of them in due time!)

So, here is a full picture of my lovely Rikku. With being 1/6 scale, she is very large and quite sturdy. I really love the pose and colouring of this figure, they match the character in-game perfectly! This is for sure the best figurine out there that best represents Rikku. There is no assembly required apart from putting her onto the stand. The stand fits perfectly so I can’t complain about that problem this time around. The colours and painting is very accurate from top to bottom.

What I love most about this figure is the amazing detailing and perfection of her face. Yes her facial expression itself doesn’t say much, its just a cutesy smile, but the detail is just beautiful. Even the swirls inside Rikkus eyes are detectable. Yes I know the pricing of this figure is quite steep, but you really are getting what you pay for in this case! I’ve had this figure for maybe..4 years now? And she is still holding out strong, I have also managed to keep the box and packaging  in 100% perfect condition so that one day I can sell her on. If your a big fan and just want the figure to display, then go to e bay and bid on one that is maybe not 100% perfect but still in good condition, this means the price will be much more reasonable.

overall score: 9.4/10
