MorishigeIRL Hey there! This is my first-ever review, so... I hope it's an okay one!
The figure today I will be reviewing is ITEM #1808376 !
From my understanding, this figure was created and given to the Gackt Fanclub in Japan. Many people thought, at the time, that Gackt looked like Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII. Thus, this figure was made!
Right off the bat, I know you are probably noticing a few things. Things that you may squint at, like, "Oh, that doesn't look too good"... I know Q_Q
For 10.50$, though? I'm fine with it~ I did know the figure would come with some imperfections, so this wasn't a big shocker to me! Let's talk about those things.
This base is messy! Suppose this is paint rubbed off from somewhere else on the figure? Perhaps he was stored incorrectly to where his hair or shoes touched the base like that? I am not quite sure... I know that it isn't normal grime because it didn't come off with a wipe. I'll try washing the base in warm soapy water to see what that does!
I left all of the imperfections for this review because I wanted you guys to see this figure for the first time, just like I did.
Now for the elephant in the room... he is dirty! I guess this is just dust? It's important to note that the texture of this figure is STICKY. Maybe old figures get like this? Can you tell I mostly buy prize figures Don't worry, though! I am working to clean him up!
Slowly but surely, I am getting there!
His face is derpy, but I find it endearing. Sure, it doesn't match the box, but hey! It's a fan club figure; we can't be picky! They had a vision
Speaking of the box... Gackt decided that he was going to swing his sword apparently- and so when he got here, his sword was poking OUT OF THE BOX. Scared me at first, but I'm pretty sure this figure can withstand a lot (let's not test this)
The most surprising part? The size of him! This guy rivals my Dio figure: ITEM #1024694
I held a ruler and placed my joker nendo for a size comparison. So what % of Gackt is this? The singer is 5'11 so does that make this a 1/6th almost? Just kidding, I'm not even going to pretend to know how that stuff works
Gackt butt
So, I got a big sticky silly-looking figure of a singer cosplaying a Final Fantasy character. Who has a dirty base, broken box, and a bunch of dust stuck to him. Yes, yes I did, and I'm happy. ITS GACKT!
This is my first "review," so I'm unsure what I should say. The sculpture is fine, and the painting is clean, but the face is... off. Well, it doesn't matter too much to me! I just did this so the one other member on MFC who knows of this figure's existence, and I can have some kind of documentation
Thank you so much for reading! I hope you can find a better review of this figure one day! LOL

Thanks for showing this rare piece! Also, he's huge! Your maths aren't off, definitely 1/6. :)
I will! Depending on how bad the damages are, it may or may not need some major TLC, but we’ll see when it comes in! 0 v 0)/
Thank you for writing this little article though bc you influenced me to buy my own GACKT figure tho with obvious damage, but it’s ok bc he was rlly cheap out of pure bewilderment and curiosity T 0 T
Haha, I’m glad you liked! And even liked enough to order your own! You’ll have to let me know whenever it comes in C:

Of course, thank you for reading!
HELP- yea it is pretty funny! Gackt will literally put himself on anything. He’s like EVA merch. Thank you for reading!
I think the figure is oddly charming considering how old it is, and that it was a fanclub thing.
Thanks for your review! I've always been curious how he looked up close.
Thank you for liking my review! Yes, he's very charming to me C:
Despite everything, it's still him so I'm very happy to own him
This would be super interesting to look into ^_^ I wonder if there are any more gackt ones in particular haha
Hope we get a Genesis Figurine /Scale/ Pak soon... I'm waiting for him since 2010 (￣ヘ￣;).
He is still a Cool looking Figurine ( ◜‿◝ )♡. Nice review.
Oh it's super exciting to see another Gackt fan in the comments! I'm glad you liked my review! I hope for more gackt figures soon too!
