Play Arts Full Metal Alchemist Winry Rockbell

I didn't know Play Arts made figures from the show Full Metal Alchemist.   I was a fan of the show when it first aired on Adult Swim back in 2004 or 2005.  I don't remember.    Anywho I actually saw the Elric brothers go for ridiculous prices on the internet.   I don't feel right paying over twenty bucks for one of these smaller Play Arts.   Then I saw they made a Winry and she was only six dollars!   I figured why the hell not and placed my order on Amazon.   Winry was cheaper and a beer at the bar and I don't regret buying her.   I've yet to justify the forty plus dollars for the Elric brothers to buy them.    




 I've only sporadically checked but Edward can cost anywhere from $45-$100 at times online.  Alphonse can cost anywhere from $35-$80 and Winry right now is a whopping $10.  

 "toka koka"  Sorry I can't type in Hiragana, Katakana, or Kanji. 

 She's really basic out of box.   If I had to change something maybe it would be her face.   I can't really complain for her price though.   

 Winry comes with a spare head.   Three sets of hands.   And two wrenches to work on Automail.  

 If anything I would maybe make her head a little smaller.   Maybe maker her eyes a little smaller.  Something just doesn't look right to me.  I know!  Make her boobs way huger like every other anime/manga.   She's already prancing around in a strapless bra. 

Unfortunately the top part of her mechanic suit covers these gaps in her legs.   Way to go Play Arts!  

 Size comparison with Advent Children Play Arts Tifa


 She can get in some pretty dynamic poses if you choose.   The knees look a little off though when they bend.

I'm actually pretty glad I got her for six bucks.  Although it does make me want the Elric brother I cannot justify paying so much for a small figure.   

PARENTS:  If your son likes anime girls what work on mechanical parts in their bra this figure might for your him.   Even though Winry is cheap she isn't meant to be played with.   Her joints don't feel strong enough to suffer repeated abuse from a child.

COLLECTORS:  If you like Full Metal Alchemist I say get Winry while you can her for cheap then try to expand your collection.  She's not the greatest representation but because she is inexpensive I recommend you get her before the price goes up.
