"He travels the fastest who travels alone"-Rudyard Kipling
Another introduction of Chara Form (きゃらふぉるむ) (chibi-chara figure) series by empty. Just to give you an idea of what Chara Forms are like.

First off, 2nd Ieyasu. ( First back here)
The previous one's base was a little hard to fit on.
So was this one. Which probably means it's wasn't an individual characteristic-will be present in all.
Not a big deal at all. Screwdriver again.
Again, if you ever find that a part doesn't fit, do not ever try and force it. More than often it'll either crack or break pieces.
Example of what can happen below↓ (Timely!)
CharaForm 002
Ishida Mitsunari
Box:
w/Ieyasu's box
Mitsunari's box was fancier. Chara Form 007: Tokyo Ghoul Kaneki and Chara Form 004: Fire Emblem's Chrom figures' were the same white boxes as Ieyasu. Haven't seen Hozuki. (don't have any, but have had stocked in our store so goddam cute...) Maybe the early ones had this translucent box but later changed?
Back to Mitsunari-
Just his sword+scabbard were separate parts
Now, a figure issue -does it resemble the character?
In all honesty, ...ambiguous.
Chibi-charas of usually-human-proportioned are hard to resemble the characters. Even official chibi designs vary:
But I dunno, if you ask without knowing, and without the body part, would you know right away it's Mitsunari?
Maybe if the bangs were longer?
Brow smaller?
Ieyasu, I thought did an okay job looking like Ieyasu.
Some fans took the effort to modify Ieyasu and make him look more to a likeness. I kinda liked the Chara Form better than the Banpresto Ichibankuji one, but that could just be since the Chara Form was made better. (Banpresto Ichibankuji is what's called a prize series --meant to be cheap, so paint job isn't so detailed Sculpting sometimes surpasses high priced scale figures
Everything else was fine though. Painting precise, no odd molding flaws. Pose itself is based on Basara4 main image, looks exactly do.
Now, here's what I was talking about when saying be careful with putting pieces together.
I couldn't get the sword in his hand. So used a little too much force. And...
Paki......
Easily fixed with crazy-glue. phew (=_=;)
w/Ieyasu
Neck is movable
Heads are interchangeable too.
But this exchange didn't look good imo...
There we have it. 2nd Chara Form example.
Chara Form (きゃらふぉるむ) series haven't announced much new. There's a Chara Form series coming from Aniplex though. I'm guessing empty's co-production? Or Chara Form wasn't empty's brand-series after-all?
