Dandadan Seiko F:NEX Figure Review: Is the $175 Figure Worth It?

I’ll be upfront: the Dandadan Seiko F:NEX figure hasn’t made it to my shelf yet, so this is a collector’s read of the official photos, the specs and what owners have posted. FuRyu’s 1/7 Seiko stands 26 cm tall and costs $175 at Sideshow. My take, it’s a fair buy for fans, not a must-have for sculpt snobs.

Quick verdict: great size and attitude at a fraction of the Ikigai statue price, though owners flag a wide face and an oversized box.

What is the Dandadan Seiko F:NEX figure?

F:NEX is FuRyu’s premium hobby line, and this is Seiko Ayase from Dandadan, sculpted by Moineau with paint by Getsuryuu, according to MyFigureCollection. She carries a baseball bat, wears red glasses and hoop earrings, and has a cigarette in her mouth, all under a long dark cape. Sideshow’s photos show a prototype, so the final paint can differ.

What the specs say about size, materials and the box

Maker	FuRyu (F:NEX line)
Scale and height	1/7, 10.23 in (26 cm)
Materials	ABS, PVC
Box (H x W x D)	9 x 13.25 x 15 in (23 x 34 x 38 cm)
Japan release	October 2025 (MyFigureCollection)
Price at Sideshow	$175 (checked October 9, 2026)

The packaging is the odd part: a 26 cm figure ships in a box 38 cm deep, and one owner called it far bigger than the figure needs. Leave room to store it.

How does it compare with Momo and the Ikigai statues?

Sideshow lists the matching Momo F:NEX at the same $175, so the pair runs $350. Step up to the Ikigai statues and Seiko jumps to $576 (Momo is $515, Okarun $489), roughly 3.3 times the F:NEX price. If you want the Dandadan crew without a statue budget, F:NEX is where I’d start.

Where $175 sits in a collector’s budget

For context, our Hot Toys Palpatine review covers a sixth scale figure at $285, and the Jubilee Premium Format statue sits at $1,050. Against that, $175 for a 26 cm anime figure is mid-range, not a bargain. Early commenters compared it to a prize figure, which is the fair counterpoint. Anime collecting goes beyond figures, as our Ghost in the Shell PREMICO watch review shows.

What do collectors say about the Dandadan Seiko figure?

On October 9, 2026 MyFigureCollection showed an 8.17 out of 10 average from only six ratings, with 23 owners and 103 wishlists. Early comments were harsher on the base and the 21,000 yen price, while an owner noted the face looks wide. See the MyFigureCollection page, but six ratings isn’t a verdict.

Pros and cons at a glance

• Pros: clear 1/7 scale at 26 cm, a detailed cape, jacket and glasses, and a price about a third of the Ikigai Seiko.
• Cons: a plain round base, a wide face and an oversized box flagged by owners, and very few ratings so far.

Price and where to buy it

Store	Price
Sideshow Collectibles	$175 (plus $5.25 tariff fee)
Amazon US (third-party seller)	$194.85
AmiAmi	23,100 yen

Checked October 9, 2026. I’d go with Sideshow, the official store, because the Amazon listing comes from a third-party seller and costs more.

Our Take

I like it for what it is: a 26 cm Seiko with attitude and a proper cape. Scores from photos, specs and owner reports, not a shelf test: display presence 8/10, value 7/10. It suits Dandadan fans who want a mid-range anime piece, and if you like bigger display-first figures, our Mister Fantastic Hot Toys figure review is a good next stop, and the Ultimate Grogu Collector’s Edition goes in a quirkier direction. You can find the Seiko through Sideshow, Amazon US sellers and Japanese retailers like AmiAmi. What did you think of the base, and what would you have changed? Tell us in the comments.
