Vault Review: Persona 3’s
Metis (Figma #085)
Every once in a while I’ll see a toy that I must have even though I know nothing about it. The Persona 3 character of Aegis was the first import figure I bought purely on the basis that she looked awesome. I wasn’t disappointed. So when Max Factory released pictures of the Metis figure for the Figma line, it didn’t take long for me to submit my preorder.





Every once in a while, something odd happens. I’m compelled to buy a toy that I know nothing about. My friends might tell you that it’s not that odd an occurrence, but I promise it is. The reasons vary. First, she’s a robot girl. If you’re familiar with my reviews, you’ve probably noticed I’m a sucker for robot girls. Second, just from the solicit pictures, you could tell this figure had a cuteness about her. Sure there are a lot of good looking toys out there, especially from Japan, but Aegis had something most toys lack. Somehow, Figma was able to imbue this figure’s looks with a sense of personality.
