Kaminagi Ryoko ~Resurrection~ by ALTER

kr-header
Hi fans, today I’ll present you a new figure review.

Its been a few figures since I reviewed a figure of them, so lets give a warm welcome to ALTER’s Kaminagi Ryoko, as I saw the figure for the first time I thought she was boring, but at least I got interested in her origin Zegapain and after watching it I actually fell in love with her character. Zegapain is from the year 2006 and was made by Studio Sunrise, who are well known for their mecha related anime, like Gundam. Zegapain has a different feel to it than their usual kind of show, since it’s more focused on the characters and their emotions than the mecha fights. In case you are more interested in the Zegapain anime you can check out my review  :)

Ryoko is a childhood friend archetype character. But nevertheless she is one of the more interesting childhood friends, she is not very hot in terms of looks, but she has an enchanting kind and upbeat personality, her voice actress Hanazawa Kana also gave her a very fitting voice.

Im hard to please when it comes to figures from my favorite anime characters, Im already that picky that if at all I only own very few figures of my favorite anime girls :D anyway ALTER’s attempt of Kaminagi Ryoko convinced me very quick and the pre-order was set in stone.

Sonicomi Art Book – normal edition – review

The enchanting Soniko, mascot from Nitro+ gaines more and more popularity these days, she also received an own artbook treatment recently. This Sonicomi Art Book was published by Softbank creative and the release date was in the middle of December 2011.

It was sold in two version, there was the Sonicomi Art Book Premium Box which included an extra towel and a CD that included a few bonus outfits for the Sonicomi game for around 5524 Yen and the normal version which came without any extras had a price of 2800 Yen. At first I somehow wasn’t that interested in getting the book, but in the end I tried to get one copy of it.
I was able to find one of the last copies at cdjapan, at that time I thought there was just one version of the book, but it turned out as a misunderstanding, so there were no extras for me :( Continue reading »

Princess Bitch by Orchid Seed (nsfw)

princess_bitch_os-header

Todays review is about a certain buxom blonde princess with an affection for ecchi activities.
The review will contain nudity and some foul language, so its not safe for work (NSFW)

The very rude name of her is actually a wordplay about the Princess Peach from the Super Mario Bros. game franchise, the design of the figure is loosely based on this certain character.

princess_bitch_illustration

Her origin is a cover illustration drawn by F.S. who also illustrated a bunch of Queens Blade characters, aside from the cover it’s a badly drawn doujin, maybe it was one of his earlier works or he can’t draw with just black and white XD Princess Bitch was sculpted by Osiris who was also in charge for other nice figures, like Orchid Seeds Dwarf or AmiAmi zero’s sexy godess Menace.

Intro

Princess Bitch was released on 2011/10/17 and is scaled 1/7 with a height of 145 mm.
I was able to get her for a good discount at AmiAmi and only paid 5100 Yen without shipping. Continue reading »

Asuka Langley -Test Plug Suit ver by Max Factory

shikinami_asuka_mf-header-copy
Hi everyone, today I can show you a review about Shikinami Asuka Langley from Max Factory, this figure is scaled 1/6 and has a height of 275m. This Asuka is called Test Plug Suit version because Asuka wore in in the Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. Asuka was released in the middle of December, I’ve ordered her via SAL shipping to save some money, I was actually a bit scared about EMS shipping for a 1/6 scaled figure and so I just received her a few days ago.

Idolm@ster – anime review

232103-nqkws0x-copy

Idolm@ster is a 25 episode long anime which aired from July to December 2011 it was produced by A1 Pictures and Aniplex. Idolm@ster is an anime adaption of the popular XBox console game with the same title, I never played any of these games, but I was interested in watching the show.

At first I wasn’t sure if a 25 episode long anime show could do justice to the background and personality of each of the 12 (13) idols. But I must say that it worked surprisingly well.
