Shinobu – Bakemonogatari by GSC
Today I will talk about Shinobu from Good Smile Company, as you might know she is based on the Bakemonogatari anime/light novel , imagine some people still haven’t watched it, how weird ;p
Bakemonogatari was well received by the audience and manufacturer Good Smile Company,
turned all of the 6 heroines of the show into 1/8 scaled figures, they were all based on the Blu Ray/DVD front cover illustrations. Other Companies like Kotobukiya or ALTER also made nice figures of that franchise, but from my impression Good Smile Company offered the better looking figures, overall. I was tempted to buy the figure of Kanbaru, but I was doomed by the sold out tag, actually I wanted to wait for a price discount. Unfortunately that never happened.
A few more month ago a prototype of Shinobu was shown at Wonderfestival. I really liked the cute appearance of her sitting on a donut pile with a vintage motorcycle helmet. So I waited for preorders being opened, her price was quite good and I better not wait for the sold out tag again.

Astraea – Sora no Otoshimono by PLUM
Hi people
Here is my first figure from manufacturer PLUM, it’s Astraea from the Sora no Otoshimono anime/manga. Her release date was in December 2011. On first sight, I got quite interested in this figure, but my opinion of Plums craftsmanship so far was just based on this Nymph figure and it wasn’t that convincing to me. So as their Astraea was announced I decided to wait a bit more with the purchase, I also expected that she might end up in the bargain bin like Plum’s Nymph before, but the opposite happened, at the shops I use more often the figure was sold out fast.
It seems like a lot of people bought this figure but actually not a single person wrote a review about her (correct me if I’m wrong), which was another reason for me to track this figure down. Fortunately I could find it the figure a few month after release at Plamoya, sometimes they have nice discounts, no Im not sponsored 
During the shipment I started to doubt my decision, I didn’t know what to expect from Plum or this figure, would I be satisfied with this Astraea… ?
Anyway Im glad that I ordered Astraea in the end, I would have regret it if I had passed on her.
check out why in this review … Continue reading
Super Soniko Bondage Candy Pink by Orchid Seed NSFW
Hi, I recently received the Super Soniko Bondage - Candy Pink version, back in the first half of 2011 I already received the normal Super Soniko Bondage version. I guess my affection and love torwards the Nitro+ mascot Soniko started around the time I wrote her review last year.
Its actually a funny coincidence that this review is the most popular post on my humble blog
Buying a figure twice just because of a different color scheme appeared a bit odd to me in the first place, but I liked the previous black version of this figure to such an extent, that I even ordered the alternative Super Soniko Bondage - Candy Pink version, which was released around 9 month later on January 17th 2012. She is also sculpted by Tanaka Masanori.
This Soniko is scaled 1/7 and castoffable. Without taking shipping and custom fees into account I paid 6,600 JPY, for the previous one it were 6,630 JPY.
This Soniko comes with a blue colored and textured base with silver font, this time the guitar is pink and looks quite nice like that, the stand of the guitar is painted in a shiny white color.
Another reason for ordering the alternative version of her was, that I had the small hope that Orchid Seed wouldn’t forget to add the blushmarks on her face this time. For me it was the only big letdown of the first Super Soniko Bondage version. In the illustration she was sculpted after, she had clearly visible blushmarks which couldn’t be found on the cheeks of the final figure. Continue reading

Kaminagi Ryoko ~Resurrection~ by ALTER
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 
anyway ALTER’s attempt of Kaminagi Ryoko convinced me very quick and the pre-order was set in stone.

Princess Bitch by Orchid Seed (nsfw)
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.
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
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. Continue reading

Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou made by Kotobukiya
When already running out of space you shouldn’t order old figures I would say XD
While I was searching for a cover illustration of the Nagasarete Airentou anime, a picture of a cute figure appeared and I was enchanted by her charming appearance and I wanted to see more of her. In the end I bought her on ebay, after I’ve asked the seller to make her cheaper, my price was quite bold, but luckily he accepted it, I wonder if he would have sold her for even less

K-ON!! Yui – PM Figure “Windmill” by SEGA
Hi a new figure has finally arrived, after a lot of anime related posts I can present you a new figure review. Today it will be about Hirasawa Yui, she’s a premiun prize figure manufactured by SEGA.
Her origin is the popular anime adaption K-on!!, the slightly airheaded Yui was the unofficial main character in the first season. In this figure adaption she is shown in her official HTT (Happy Tea Time) band t-shirt which she sported at the last performance on the school festival with Mio, Ritsu, Mugi and Azusa in episode 20. Ah that scene afterwards was such a big tearjerker, parting with your schoolmates and previous schoollife can be so sad hard. “stop crying damn wimp” XD
