[Toy Review] D.VA - Figma (Overwatch)


She's an E-sports champ turned mech ace pilot to defend her country with her team from the Omnics. Her name is Hana Song and her code name is D.Va. She's one of the playable heroes from the game, Overwatch and I want to play this character... and McCree and Genji too. I got her Figma action figure. This Figma figure is numbered 408 (wow, that's a lot of Figma figures!) and the first Figma to be reviewed here on my blog. This is not my first Figma figure though.

"I play to win!"

THE FIGURE

This D.Va Figma figure looks really nice. It's really small and super lightweight, but the joints and parts felt really solid.

Looking at D.Va at four sides.
I really like how this figure looks. It got nice colors and it's really presentable and nice to look at. By the way this D.Va figure (and her accessories) is based on her Overwatch animated short movie.

Yep, accurate and cute.
Figma is known to making characters look really anime-ish. So I don't have a problem on D.Va's face because she already looks anime-ish in the game and in the animation. I'll say, the face is almost 100% accurate to her in-game/animation counterpart. The face is painted/printed really well and the skin tone looks nice.

D.Va's headphones.
D.Va is wearing headphones. It looks cool and can be removed as a separate accessory.

Simple but nice hair.
D.Va's brown hair is made of soft plastic and have that it's flowing to the back like it's blown by the wind in front of D.Va

D.Va's suit.
Seeing D.Va for the first time in Overwatch reminds me of Evangelion because of her suit design. It's a direct rip-off or inspired by Evangelion's Plug Suit, but I like it anyway. The suit is painted and detailed really well especially the smaller parts. I don't see any paint slacks, sticks and bleed.

Bunny emblem.
A bunny emblem on her chest looks really nice and cute.

D.Va's back.
The design at the back is consistent. The back features a peg hole for the display stand.

Slim arm.
Both arms looks good and the left and right arm doesn't have any unique things attached or sculpted on them. Hands look really nice but lacks that grey color at the palms.

Slim legs.
The legs are mostly white with some blue parts and pink straps and linings. They look really slim too. Slim legs are good for articulation.

Look at those logos!
The right leg have lots of brands and logos. I guess those are her sponsors. You can read even the smallest texts on these logos.

Huh, so this gamer girl is part of the South Korean army?
The left leg have a huge MEKA logo. Again the small texts are super readable, MEKA stands for "Mobile Exo-force of the Korean Army".

Simple feet
The suit continues to the feet. The feet looks fine and have nice clean paint application. There are no details under them.

ACCESSORIES

Being a Figma figure. D.Va have a lot of extra hands most of them are for poses and holding her Light Gun and her soda. She also got an extra hand holding a smartphone. She got an extra interchangeable head that wears a cap, a bubble gum and an extra face.

Whoa! That's a lot!
Yes, most of them are interchangeable parts and I can't think of anything to add except for muzzle flash effects for her gun. Also you can get creative with some other extra accessories.

Light Gun
Her Light Gun looks good, it's really detailed and have a nice paint job. It got a cute little keychain at the grip.

Soda can (no graphics)
This is the soda can seen at D.Va's animated short. It just silver with pink lid. It doesn't have any art around it.

Stickers for the can.
That's why you need to stick one of these stickers around the can. GSM gave two stickers in case that you ruined the first one.

Soda can (with graphics)
This is what the soda can looks like with the graphics sticker on.

Winky face
D.Va's winking face looks really cute. No problems on the paint/print on the face. To attach the extra face, you need to remove the bangs then the headphones, then swap the faces then put back the headphones and the bangs. The bangs are so small that you can loose it especially if you have brown or wooden floor. The bangs slipped of my hand and I spent more than 30 minutes finding the bangs.

Extra head.
No comment...
Uhhh. This is the extra head... Yes, it looks weird and I can tell what you're thinking when you saw this. Anyway the head looks really good but the face is not dirty as seen in the animated short. The cap is removable so that you can attach any of D.Va's face scuplts on it. You can also use the cap as an extra accessory.

Bubblegum bubble
The pink bubblegum is really small and might get lost if you're not careful. It's transparent and have a peg that you connect to D.Va's opened mouth (why this sound so weird when I read it...?).

She's blowing a bubble.
This is what the extra head looks like with the bubblegum attached. Looks really nice.

She's handy... get it?
These are the extra hands. D.Va got a pair of trigger hands, pair of gripping hands (I don't know what these are for?), pair of fists and pair of hands that forms a heart. She also got a peace sign hand and another hand that can hold the soda can.

Bummer the phone's off...
The last of her interchangeable accessory is the hand with a pink cellphone. The phone looks good. It lack some paint though on the phone's camera.

Display stand
The Figma stand is really useful especially if you want to pose the figure doing some crazy stunts. This Figma stand have the Blizzard Entertainment logo at the bottom which looks awkward because you can see the reversed Blizzard logo through the translucent base of the stand.

ARTICULATIONS

Forming a heart. That's cute.
Most Figma figures are really poseable and doesn't have those clicky ratcheted joints. These joint's are solid enough but might get broken if you're careless. So let check out this figure's articulation.

Drinking her soda.
The head is on a double ball peg and connects to the neck via peg. It moves really well but it looks weird when you look at it at the side of the head.

Normal pose
The hair is soft and the bottom part of the hair is articulated.

Selfie time.
The shoulders is on a double ball peg it moves really well, but it might get gappy when you pose them. You can twist the arms by using the shoulder ball pegs.

Checking her phone for some messages and notifications.
The arms can fully rotate and can raise 90 degrees (or more depending on how the ball pegs are positioned) sidewards. It can go across to the chest well.

Aiming
No bicep swivel but the elbow joints can do that. The elbows can bend more than 90 degrees which is good.

Running around with her Light Gun.
The wrist ball hinges is probably the most fragile part of the figure. They move really well and doesn't look bad when you pose the hands.

Side jump and shooting.
A gap (but not that huge) might get exposed when you pose the chest to the back. The chest can move side to side and twist just fine.

Crouch aiming.
Leg movement is really good and you can pull down the legs for more movement range forward, back and to the side. It can twist at the joint too.

"I'm just getting warmed up."
The legs' single hinged knees have a nice bend and they look good. You can also use these joints to swivel the calves of the legs.

"That's one for my fans!"
The feet can point up well and can point really way down. and it got a toe hinge which is good for running and crouching poses.

SCALING

This is my first Figma figure to review but not my first Figma. So while I have another Figma here I can't open it yet to compare it to this D.Va figure. So I will compare her with my other small scale figures.

D.Va with her fellow Overwatch members.
D.Va with the other Overwatch members but these figures are made by Hasbro. As you can see Figma D.Va is the shortest with the three Overwatch Ultimates figures, Lucio, Tracer and Sombra. Still I think the scaling is correct.

Neku and D.Va
Figma D.Va is taller than Bring Arts Neku. Scale comparison with this two looks good.

QUALITY ISSUES

Nope, no broken parts and missing pieces on my Figma D.Va figure. Just be careful not to loose some of this figure's parts and accessories. The build quality of this figure is really good.

CONCLUSION

This Figma figure of D.Va is really fun to pose and it looks really good and nice to look at especially if you put her side by side with Figma Overwatch figures and Hasbro's Overwatch Ultimates figures. She got lots of accessories and her headphones and cap can both be considered "secret" extra accessories". My first impressions on a Figma figure is really good, I think I will continue to buy some of the figures that I just like. Figma have a wide selection of action figures from lots of anime, video game and other titles. It can be overwhelming if you're trying to collect them all. I recommend that you get this D.Va figure if you're a fan of Overwatch. Heck, I bought one because I just like how it looks. Looking forward to get a McCree Figma figure.

Just chillin' while using her smartphone.
Cheers and Happy Collecting!
