Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st nendoroid petit figures

This is a review about PVC/ABS trading figures from the movie 'Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st'. The storyline follows Nanoha Takamachi, a nine-year-old Japanese girl attending elementary school, who lives with her parents and her older siblings. Nanoha's regular everyday life ends when she rescues an injured ferret who reveals himself as a young shapeshifting mage named Yūno Scrya. An archaeologist from a parallel universe, Yūno came to Earth to collect a set of twenty-one dangerous ancient artifacts named the "Jewel Seeds" that he first discovered in his own world. Jewel Seeds give living beings who come into contact with them unnatural powers, often turning them into monsters, and Yūno, injured while trying to collect them, must now rely on Nanoha while he convalesces in ferret form. The figures shown here are: Chrono, Alicia, Fate and Alisa.

Let's start with Fate. She's holding Bardiche in an epic battle pose like often seen in the movie. Her outfit and expression looks very realistic. Next we have Chrono and his weapon S2U. The same goes for this figure, it's very realistic. S2U is very detailed sculpted and Chrono's badass expression really suits him. Alicia is also like we've seen her in the movie, and her cute pose and expression really fit her. Last but not least we have Alisa with little Yuuno beside her. Also those two are very similar to the anime. The only thing that bugs me is that Yuuno isn't as detailed. And I think that shows when you put him next to Alicia. 

Q U A L I T Y
The figures are very well sculpted and painted. You can clearly see how detailed the weapons of Fate and Chrono are.Their faces are also accurate and there isn't any lazy painting work. I also found no clear seams on the figures so that's a good thing! I have to say that these figures have a really high quality despite being so small.

C O N S T R U C T I O N
The figures were a real pain to fit them in the ground plate and the support beams. I never had figures that were so hard to handle!  But that may be due to the fact that I opened all boxes at once, mixing all the beams and ground plates. I think it will be easier when you use the correct pieces with the correct figure.

The figures themselves were in one piece but there were several additional pieces, like ponytails, weapons, and the ground plates.
