Welcome figma Love Machine, the most expensive figma ever! The price is for the figma only, not including any game or any kind of goodies. 4,572 yen for a single figma only!! If my memory serves me right, the figma KOS-MOS is going to be this same price tag too. But KOS-MOS will come with tons of accessories and weapons. What about this Love Machine? It comes with the squirrel!!! =/

What makes it so expensive? I guess it’s the “first in the figma world, replaceable parts are included that allow his eyes to look in different direction”. Kaiyodo should jack up the price of their Revoltech Woody for this same feature. =/

——Description from Manufacturer——

figma Love Machine is invading the real world! Recreate the epic battles seen that summer!

From the award winning 2009 film, “Summer Wars” comes a figma of the villanous avatar that appeared in the virtual world of OZ, “Love Machine”.

Using the smooth yet poseable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
A flexible plastic is used for the loincloth, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
As a first in the figma world, replaceable parts are included that allow his eyes to look in different direction.
Love Machine’s huge halberd, as well as the bunch of keys from the film are included, as well as a halo that shows off his power.
A small figure of temporary-Kenji being punched is also included with a stand. Recreate poor Kenji’s futile attempts to fight Love Machine!
A poseable figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.
