Action Figure Zelda figures from Takara Tomy ARTS (set of 6)

[hennypenny]

Does anyone own the 6 mini figures from the Zelda series, made by Takara Tomy ARTS? Are they any good? I managed to find on the internet a fantastic display of them with the Figma and Medicom RAH Links in the background. What a display! Never expected it would look so good with the different scales.

I completed my set last year. I love these little figures. I have a pretty extensive LoZ collection. It's one of my main collections.

Heres where i posted my set. If you can get em, do it. The paint apps are actually pretty decent...except Tetra they used really dark paint for her skin. She's very tan

Yeah, I got the UDFs as well. My favorite is the classic Link. He looks great. Wind Waker Link scales decently with Figma Link.

I could get them for £26 (approx $40US) loose, but if I want the capsule and 300 yen price tag, I need to pay £3 more, making it £29 ($44) for all 6 including free shipping. Is it really worth getting the capsule?

No. The capsules are just green balls. I threw mine away.

No. The capsules are just green balls. I threw mine away.

It's only £3 ($4.50) extra. Doesn't the capsule make it more collectible and increase the resale value? The capsule comes with the paper and the price tag.

I suppose so. I never planned on reselling mine so I didn't give it a second thought. All the capsules and papers inside are the same for every figure.

To me it's not worth it. But if you find worth in owning the capsules, nothing wrong woth that

Received my 6 mini Zelda figures from Takara Tomy ARTS
The first impression was they look amazingly detailed for the size and the colours are vibrant. However, I did have a problem with the bent sword for both Phantom Hourglass & Skyward Sword Link. The holes on Zelda from the Ocarina of Time did not align with the pegs on the display base. Initially, I started to bore out the hole to widen it so it fits, but then realised I could just peg it into one hole and have Zelda standing at a different part of the base. The picture of the Zelda concerned (2nd from right) is how she should stand when aligned in pegs, but I did not attach her to the pegs in this picture. There is also a small paint chip on Link's left collar (extreme right). Can anyone suggest what paint and which colour green I can use to touch it up.
Very pleased with it, but not cheap at £29.

Not sure about the green paint, but what I did for the bent sword was run it under warm water for a bit, the. Tape two toothpicks on each side. Sort of creating a makeshift splint to keep it straight. Then stuck it in the freezer for a while. Worked perfectly.
