Revoltech Hello Kitty from Kaiyodo

Happy 2016, folks! 

I finally have the elusive Revoltech Hello Kitty and the search comes to an end! I was supposed to get it in 2014 for my birthday but the husband gave up dealing with an indecisive seller and canceled the transaction.

Despite negative reviews and an empty pocket, I still cannot resist the urge to acquire this gem. Good thing it was already on sale when I spotted it the second time around.

While unboxing, I immediately perused the item to make sure there are no damages but to my disappointment, it was defective. The leaf was detached from the apple and the Hello Kitty figure itself looks off. Cannot help but question the authenticity of the product.

I considered returning it but I hate going through the hassles of getting a refund. As a conscientious buyer, it is my responsibility to inform others about my experience - both good and bad. In this case, I left a negative feedback on Lazada's merchant, MC168 Toy Shop. To add insult to injury, they deliberately brushed off my complaint.

On with the features! The figure is posable. You can turn its head from side to side, move the arms a little. However, it wobbles even on a flat surface. As an added bonus, the set comes with an extra face that you can simply interchange with the usual expressionless look of Hello Kitty. The more I explore the articulations of my toy, the more it becomes evident that it is slowly falling apart. This screams bad quality.

Picatsso!

Cute factor is definitely present but the material used was subpar or perhaps, I was given an old stock. That explains the cheap price. The way it grips the crayon and apple is through the concealed magnets attached to its hands (or paws?). The product is lightweight and it seems very fragile. I am scared to take it out of the box!

Albeit it did not live up to my expectations, it still earns a spot in my display cabinet because that is where all my treasures go! A cat lady will always be loyal to her meows.
