Together with You from the previous Love Live! series.
Same size and format across the lineup.

The 5 characters from the anime Girls und Panzer have been released as Petit'gguy figures following Love Live!, and the first set out of the gate includes Miho, Saori, and Hana for ¥2900. The basic format and concept are the same as the previous Petit'gguy Love Live! release.

There are two differences in the contents though — the set includes 3 duplicate bodies, and the expression stickers have been replaced with seals. Thanks to that, you can now complete all 3 characters at the same time and display them together, and the higher-quality seals minimize any awkward look when applied to the blank faces. The Petit'gguy Love Live! set was a bit of a letdown since it only came with one body for three heads, but it seems like there must have been plenty of complaints — this time around they bumped up the price and threw in a body for each character, which is a welcome change.

The outfit options also include both the standard sailor uniform and the Panzer jacket, and just like Love Live!, you get 2 sets of arms, legs, hands, and feet. There's even a bonus binocular accessory piece that hangs around the neck for each character — overall it really does feel like an upgrade in terms of what's in the box.

Since each character now gets their own body, and the outfits and accessories are more plentiful, there's a lot more fun to be had trying out different poses. That said, you still need to be careful about placement when applying the seals to the blank face — get it wrong and the expression can look pretty off. If you don't practice a few times and get the positioning just right, things can end up looking pretty derpy.

The clean quality and upgraded contents make this a fun kit to build and play around with, but your love for the source material will probably be the deciding factor in whether you pick it up. That said, even if you don't know the characters, if you're into cute SD girlplas like this, it's definitely worth a look. :-)
