Is It Worth 20,000 Yen? A Thorough Review of the Uma Musume Kitasan Black Figure

Hello, everyone! It's Shyuya, your anime and figure-loving blogger! Today, I'm going to review a figure that I recently got my hands on, and it's one that I've been super excited about!

Honestly, at first, I was like, "Wait, 20,000 yen!?" But once it arrived at my doorstep... it turned out to be absolutely amazing! Let me just tell you upfront about the highlights:

  • Flawless recreation of the in-game illustration
  • Incredibly detailed costume design
  • Dynamic pose that looks like it’s about to spring to life
  • A base with a luxurious feel
  • An item that truly elevates your collection

So, let's dive into the details!

I usually collect Uma Musume merchandise, but when it comes to figures, the price always makes me hesitate... I kept wondering, "It's expensive, but I want it," or "Is it really okay to buy this?" I was especially worried about how to explain it to my wife—it was kind of giving me a stomachache (laughs).

But when I heard that the illustration from the support card was being turned into a figure, I just couldn’t resist! I absolutely love Kitasan Black’s smile and pose from that card!

When I finally had the figure in my hands, the first thing that struck me was the beauty of the sculpt. It faithfully recreates the support card's illustration, and being in 3D makes it even more appealing. The expression is especially amazing! The sparkling eyes, that adorable smile... just looking at it gives me energy.

The costume details are also incredibly intricate. The texture of the lace, the fluffiness of the ribbons—everything is meticulously crafted. It's also interesting how the appearance changes depending on how the light hits it.

And above all, the dynamic pose! It’s so realistic that it looks like it could start running at any moment. No matter which angle you view it from, it’s captivating. Just having it displayed in your room can make every day feel like race day.

The trophy on the base also has a more luxurious feel than I expected. It’s not just there for decoration; together with Kitasan Black, it adds a sense of narrative.

Using it is simple: just take it out of the box and put it on display. However, I was careful about where to place it. I avoided direct sunlight and chose a spot where dust wouldn't settle easily. This is a piece I want to take good care of!

Since getting this figure, there have been some small changes in my daily life:

  • Seeing the figure first thing in the morning gives me a boost of energy.
  • Even when I come home tired from work, Kitasan Black's smile is soothing.
  • Playing the Uma Musume game while looking at the figure makes it even more enjoyable.
  • I feel proud showing it off to friends who visit.
  • The quality of my figure collection has improved, and I feel much more satisfied.

Looking back, I wish I had bought it sooner!

If I had to point out one minor issue, it would be that the right leg peg doesn't secure properly. I worry it might topple over during an earthquake, so I've made sure the left leg is securely fixed. But perhaps this is just another way to show my care and affection for the figure!

The price is 20,000 yen before tax. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after actually holding it in my hands, I feel it’s worth every yen. The quality of the craftsmanship, the attention to detail, and most importantly, the joy and energy it brings every day... considering all that, it might even be a bargain.

However, prices may fluctuate, so if you're thinking of buying it, be sure to check the latest information. There might be special offers or promotions going on right now!

Let’s also take a look at what other buyers have said. One review mentioned, "I'm very satisfied with the high quality!" Another pointed out that "the eyes seem a bit small," but still praised the figure, saying, "The paint job is beautiful, and the dynamic pose is stunning."

Some also noted the issue with the right leg peg not securing properly. However, even with that, many felt that "the figure is well worth the price."

To wrap it up, here are the key reasons why I'm glad I bought this figure:

  • I get a daily boost of energy from Kitasan Black’s smile
  • The detailed craftsmanship ensures I never tire of looking at it
  • It significantly elevated the value of my collection
  • I’ve rediscovered my love for figures
  • My appreciation for Uma Musume has deepened

If I hadn’t bought it, I would’ve missed out on such an amazing piece. Just thinking about losing the joy and excitement it brings to my daily life gives me chills.

Personally, I’m 120% satisfied! When I recommended it to my friends, they all said, "That’s awesome!" and we got really excited together.
