Hachikuji Mayoi figma by Max Factory

Hachikuji Mayoi figma

Hi there Im here again after 18 days of abstinence, september was an empty month in terms of figures. Today I will present you one of my rare figma reviews. It’s old news that Im no big figma collector, but when I really like a certain figma, I won’t hesitate to buy it. So here we have figma number 105, Hachikuji Mayoi from the ultra cool Bakemonogatari universe. I aways liked her funny, lively and cute character in this anime and I already bought a scaled figure of her.
This figma was made by Max Factory, as elementary schoolgirl she only measures 12cm ^-^

Hatsune Miku – lat type version by GSC

miku-header

Hello everyone, this review is about the Hatsune Miku – lat type version figure from GSC.
I think I don’t need to explain it, you all know who Hatsune Miku is and what kind of music
she makes. But what is Lat anyway? What differs this lat version from the normal Miku is
the rounder and cute face, the glasses and the school uniform like outfit that she is wearing.
So far I wasn’t affected by the Miku Vocaloid hype at all. Well, I like the character design,
but in fact I don’t really like the squeaky synthetic voice in most of her uncountable videos.

Nevertheless I will present you a few videos which I found quite enjoyable, the last one rocks :D

Hyper Nurse Painkiller Kotone-chan by Hobby Japan NSFW

kotone-header

Hi heres a new figure review of one of my latest purchases

This Hyper Nurse Painkiller Kotone-chan figure was an Hobby Japan magazine exclusive mailorder, which I’ve ordered via Tokyohunter, a proxy buyer service from japan. I placed my order on december the 2nd 2011, the official price tag was 8190 Yen, with proxy fee I paid 11500 Yen + 2600 Yen shipping, quite a lot but actually I didn’t care much about it.

Kotone chan is a new edition of the character made by Keumaya, who also made two other Kotone figures, one that looks similar to the new Kotone and a black version. The figure in this review is around 190 mm in height, no scale was mentioned but I would say it is something between 1/8 and 1/7 scale. This cute nurse figure was released in late june 2011.

Kotone chan made her first appearance in an old doujinshj manga. I really regret that I checked out this perverted crap in preperation for this review, honestly that was a quite disturbing experience, I wouldn’t recommend to read it, what has been seen can’t be unseen :(

The new Kotone appeared in a far more modest manga which was published in Hobby Japan magazine, she also takes part in the cool looking PSP Game Queens Gate Spiral Chaos.

Nymph – Sorano Otoshimono f by Kotobukiya

Nymph

Today I want to show you a new figure review about one of my latest purchased figures, it is Kotobukiya’s cute little Angeloid Nymph, her origin is the popular anime Sora no Otoshimono. Kotobukiya released this Nymph under their 4 Leaves label, this figure is scaled 1/6 and has a sitting height of around 12 cm, her release date was at the end of july 2011. She is the first 1/6 scaled figure in my collection and I was eagerly waiting for the day of her release.

This Nymph figure has a few nice features like a soft cushion base, an castoffable cape and also the big collar around her neck can be taken of, as well as her pretty semi transparent blue wings.

Nymph comes in a rather place saving box, nevertheless I had to pay 2980 Yen for the EMS shipping, regarding her 1/6 scale I think its a fair price. In the past shipping costs appeared less expensive, or maybe I just had this impression, because I’ve  bought only a few figure in the past. Nymph was wrapped up in many layers of foil so unpacking took a few minutes :D

shirley header 2

Stand to attention! Good morning recruits, today I’ll show you a review about ALTER’s Charlotte E. Yeager figure, this figure is scaled 1/8 with a height of 230 mm and her release date was on 1th July 2011.  Charlotte E. Yeager is a character from the popular anime show Strike Witches.

On first look Strike Witches is all about young witches who are fighting against the Nazi’s Neuroi in a World War II setting. The Neuroi invaded europe and the young witches are the only weapon that is effective against these new agressors. These witches are from many different countries, they are all members of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing which is stationed in Britannia. All the witches have special skills to fight the Neuroi aside from their standard weaponry. For flying they are using striker units which are resembling the front half of warplanes from the 1940′s. The witches stick their legs inside of these striker units and are controlling them via magical power.

Taiga – Tiger Costume version by Ques q

Taiga Header copy

Hi my friendly readers after the voluptuos Menace which might have shocked a few of you XD Today I can show you a certain petite cutie, called Aisaka Taiga who you might remember as the main character in the popular lovecom anime Toradora which aired from autumm 2008 to 2009.

Taiga is a 16 year old high school girl, she is small and has a rather undeveloped body, by her classmates and the whole school she is nicknamed “palmtop tiger”. Taiga lives alone in an expensive appartment because her family situation is not very good. She developed an angry, bad mooded attitude, is easily offended by others and often reacts in a very violent way.
After she met the new transfer student Ryuuji her life slowly begins to change…

I like Taiga, but actually I never was such a big fan of her, that I really wanted to have a figure of her, but some month ago Ques q announced that they have a Taiga figure up their sleeve, which was loosely based on the illustration under that line, NYAH! or ROAR! ?

Queens Blade Menace by AmiAmi zero (nsfw)

menace header b
Hi there today I’ll show you a real ero figure so this review is not really safe for work. It is about Menace from the popular Queens Blade franchise. This beautiful figure of Menace was produced by AmiAmi Zero she is scaled 1/7. Im slowly starting to prefer this bigger scale over my all time favorite scale 1/8, these slightly bigger figures have a somehow different feel to it. In the sitting pose Menace has a height of 16 cm and she was sculped by the talented Osiris who also was responsible for the sculpting of my beautiful Dwarf figure which was produced by Orchid Seed.

The products from AmiAmi Zero always looked ok to me, but I never felt much interest in them, that changed some weeks ago when I checked out the very nice Menace review of Ashlotte from HobbyHovel, his fantastic looking pictures of this superhot figure were very convincing to me.
In the AmiAmi preview pictures she looked a lot different and never as nice like in the review.

The figure was released in May 2010 so I was a bit late with my urge to get her, first I thought I’m lucky when I found Menace for 90€ at a german shop, but they had no copy of her anymore they just forgot to update their in-stock number (I hate this ;( ). So what should Wieselhead do; give up? - no way. In the end I got her from ebay for around 145,00€ including 21€ customs fee. On top of that I had to pick her up personally from the customs office and the employee from the office opened the package to have a look whats inside the package, that was a pain X<

Well I can tell you in advance that this Menace figure was worth the trouble in end

Soniko babydoll version by Yamato nsfw

soniko bd headery

Since my Soniko – Bondage version from Orchid Seed review I became quite a Soniko fanboy. After I searched for informations about her character and origin in order to find material for the intro of my review of the Soniko – bondage version. At the beginning I just liked her character design with her charming girl next door look and the supercute face, after I heard her voice nd saw how she behaves in a trailer and in a song, I really fell for her. I ordered the upcoming game Communication With Sonico, where Soniko is starting her idol career and the player is her personal photograph who supports her in her work and takes care of her. Furthermore I’ve ordered a CD and I’ve also put a cute picture of her on my wall =).

For the ones of you who don’t know who this Soniko is here are some Info about her origin. Super Soniko was created by the Nitroplus Company in 2007, to be the mascot for their yearly Nitro Super Sonico Music Festival held in Japan. Since her creation, she has become quite popular, she gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. I would say the peak of her popularity was reached in this year, there were made several figures, and other merchandising products of her.

mugi

Bonus Question! – What suits an anime girl better than a maid outfit with nekomimi?

 

Correct, its a waitress outfit XD 

In fact I always wanted a figure in a waitress outfit and Max Factory did a top-notch job with their cute Tsumugi Kotobuki Waitress version which I ordered closely before preorders were closed. Thanks go to sutekiii and Luzai for the little convincing, I was close to pass on her XD.

Tsumugi Kotobuki is a 1/7 scaled figure with a height of 23,05 cm her release date was on May 23th 2011. The origin of this figure is a scene from the 12th episode of K-on! season one where Mugi was dressed in a waitress uniform which their crazy teacher Sawako-chan made for her. Mugi is sculpted by Nakayaman who also made all ot the other K-on figures for Max Factory.

Review Melissa Seraphy from GSC

melissa bh

Hi mina-san today I will show you a review about a figure which I was searching for a long time. As I started with collecting figures my sources for figure related news were very limited and so it was no surprise that some nice figures slipped under my radar. After some time I was able to find  more sites with figure related news and data, like nekomagic and myfigurinecollection.

Often old figures turn out as hard to get especially when you are very interested in them, well you sometimes find these coveted figures for crazy prices at ebay, or if you are lucky you can get them for reasonable and even cheap prices. The sale feature at myfigurinecollection.com is also a good place to aquire rare and older figures. Luckily so I was able to get nearly every old figure I wanted, like  Alter’s Reinforce II, Alter’s Al Azif and last month I was finally able to get the lovely Melissa Seraphy from GoodSmileCompany which I always wanted to have in my collection.
