It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “New Figure Preorders” post, around 12 months ago I published part #36, *OMFG* Don’t worry though, I did not lose interest in the figure hobby at all. I currently have 9 lovely figures on order.

Ordered figures

Katsuragi Misato

Hooray, a new figure of Misato is a great thing, Rei or Asuka never where my favorites in Neon Genesis Evangelion, they were interesting but really weird. I always was drawn to Misato. This figure of her is dressed in a bikini, but nevertheless she still partially wears her usual uniform. In this attire It might not show the Misato figure of my dreams, but she looks great.

release date – November – 2018

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

I had to get this beautiful Erika figure from Native. What is more important for me than the dynamite body is her pretty face with the enchanting smile. Compared to her official illustration this figure is based on, there are small, but great improvements, the face is so much better and the boobs are less big. Hopefully there won’t be another delay.

release date – October – 2018

Asuna – Undine version

Ah, this blue haired and pointy eared Asuna looks so cool. I like the serious expression and her stunning uniform with the nice colors, it will be my first experience with Emontoys, I have good expectations.

release date – October – 2018

Ashikaga Chachamaru

When ALTER announced their Chachamaru I was so happy and excited, the figure looks great with the expressive golden eyes, furthermore she’s half nude and seductive. It’s not their first fanservice figure, but it is still surprising to see such figures from ALTER.

release date – December – 2018

Nishikino Maki x Yazawa Nico – Valentine Hen version

This is a great two figure set, one I really like. The outfits are pretty and it’s sweet how the figures are connected.
I admit that I’m not the biggest Maki fan, but together with Nico it is a very nice combination.

release date – December – 2018

Takagi-san

I feel quite excited about this one. I developed quite a crush on Takagi-san when Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san was airing, her anime was just wonderful. Phat Company makes this great looking figure of her sitting on a detailed school desk. I just love her sweet, confident and flirty expression.

release date – January – 2019

Sakuya – Onna Kyoushi version

A figure of a sexy teacher? … here is my money. No, seriously this a nice looking figure, she has a beautiful youthful face and is quite attractive in the business dress. Together with the glasses and playful pose the figure should turn out really nice.

release date – April – 2019

Asuna – Swimsuit version

Yes, I ordered another Asuna, I never knew I was a fan of her XD Of course Asuna always has been a pretty character, but really earned my sympathy by the end of Sword Art Online II. I’ve always been a fan of swimsuit figures and this one looks especially nice and detailed, I didn’t mind the exclusive price tag.

release date – March – 2019

Sakurauchi Riko

The Love Live Sunshine figures from With Fans! so far looked quite stunning, Riko is especially nice in my opinion, a pretty girl in school uniform. Her face and expression are so sweet, her hair with the flowing strands is also nice looking.

release date – March – 2019

Interesting figures

Recently I find it quite challenging to place more preorders for 2019, one reason is that I can’t decide between all those beautiful figures, another reason are the terrifying prices of figures, I would like to prevent getting more than 2 figures in the same month. Here I’ve listed figures for 2019 (2018) that I like and like a bit more. Lol deciding is difficult.
 

C.C – Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Seems like Union Creative makes many popular characters from popular animes of the past, I always wanted a figure of C.C. in her attractive straitjacket.

release date – October – 2018

Tomoe – Queen’s Blade

This a quite interesting figure in my eyes, she has a photogenic pose and without a doubt she also has a very nice body. Orchid Seed implemented a variety of different display options and the nice figure measures 29,5 cm.

release date – December – 2018

Narberal Gamma – so bin version

The concept of this figure is really awesome, when I saw that price of her, second thoughts were instantly kicking in, I’m no fan of the character nor do I like the bunny ears that much. Of course it’s still an impressive figure on it’s own.

release date – December – 2018

Kohinata Hikari

I’m a really big fan of Amanchu, it’s a really sweet show about the friendship between Hikari and Teko and character development. Before I would order Hikari though, I would like to know if also a figure of Teko is planned. Beach outfits are great and all, but the Amanchu school uniforms are wonderful, too can’t I have figures with those.

release date – January – 2019

Ade-sugata II

Ahem, normally I’m not interested in bondage girls with sex toys, here things are a little different, since this character is beautiful, perfect brown skin an adorable turtle face and she looks just gorgeous. I would really like to order her but I don’t like these ropes for me it is truly a shame to see such a beautiful figure tied up and what not.

release date – January – 2019

Mimori Hinagiku

I like the cute Miko, that act’s a bit naughty, castoff she is less interesting in my opinion, but the general is very nice.

release date – April – 2019

Kaname Madoka – Magia Record Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden

I just had to wait several years, to see the cutest standing Kaname Madoka figure to date. She is so enchanting in this adaption, I need her, even though she is sold as limited exclusive.

release date – Summer – 2019

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière – Finale Wedding version

Man, a pretty bride figure of my first anime waifu ever and I still hesitate to place my order

release date – March – 2019

Sawara Ayaka

The stunner from the previous Wonfes some months ago, BINDing’s Sawara Ayaka. It was love on first sight, then it turned that she will be scaled 1/4 and cost around 28000 Yen. I’d really had preferred a 1/6 scale, on the positive side she is probably the best detailed 1/4 scaled bunny girl figures ever, I mean she looks totally great, I might order her.

release date – May – 2019

Ochi Ripca

I don’t know about the manufacturer FOTS, but I like the concept of this figure. This prototype looks more like a 3D model, but in the end it should be a figure. She’s been planned to be a big 1/5th scale figure that measures 17 cm.

release date – September – 2018

Vampire – Azur Lane

It has been a while since i’ve seen a figure of a flirty vampire loli, I like it. This cutie is based on the game Azur Lane.

release date – July – 2019

She is not my first figure from Kalmia Project, earlier this year I reviewed the Pin Up Girl, which is also from their Magic Bullets line. What makes this company interesting for me are their choices of not so well known, but appealing source material to adapt their figures from. I was really drawn to this cute Takigawa Kotori figure .

On a personal or rather technical note, I wanted a new camera since ages and so I recently turned my back on Sony and the DSLR world, the pictures of this review were taken with a Panasonic LUMIX G DMC-GX8, a micro four thirds, the differences in size and weight are quite amazing on first impression it’s a cute camera. The petite black lady does a great job so far with taking figure pictures and pictures of my dolls. My first lens of choice was the H-HS043E.

Now back to todays truly adorable figure, Kotori is a character in Nanairo Reincarnation, I haven’t started playing it yet, so I only have limited knowledge about her character, as you can actually tell from her appearance, that she is a deredere girl, sweet and friendly. The open mouth underlines her cheerful appearance and atmosphere.

Kotori sports a short twintail hairstyle in a natural brown color, it’s a nicely sculpted and it’s a very cute hairstyle with the strands that are covering her forehead. The hair decoration reminds me of Alicia Melchiott from Valkyria Chronicles, although Kotori has the cuter one. The detailed facial expression also indicates that she is a character based on a VN. The figure shows a cute smile with her green and sparkling “VN eyes” based on Sumeragi Kohaku’s pretty design.

Kotori is a relatively short, slender and petite schoolgirl, in her revealing waitress outfit it’s noticeable that the girl isn’t what I would define as skinny and I really like that fact, she looks very attractive with the softly sculpted body of hers.

I like her legs with the well defined thighs, the transition from there to her butt really looks great, for being a petite girl Kotori has an beautiful round butt, in my opinion it’s one of best figure butts I’ve seen so far, awww it’s so marvelous.

The cute figure has a nice  modest bust, that isn’t small nor too big, on figures I don’t really mind too bîg, as you might have noticed when following my blog regularly. with her top on she has a nice cleavage, but Kalmîa Project’s Takigawa Kotori also has a cast of option to expose her beautiful boobs, the shape is quite nice as well as her nipples.

Kotori shows what she got in this figure adaption, the outfit of the figure is actually as sexy and revealing as ït’s cute, a kind of underwear and incomplete waitress uniform, she also wears a thong with a cute red ribbon and frilly decorations in innocent white at the sides. A big, prominent garter is wrapped around her right leg. Her red shoes have a quite adorable design with the short heel is not so tantalizing which underlines the young deredere characters appeal.

Final Words

Kotori Takigawa turned out to a nice figure and was worth the purchase. She wears a cheerful and sweet expression with lovely and lively green eyes. She has a nicely articulated pose, that accentuates every part of her beautiful petite yet womanly body. A highlight there is definetely her firm round butt. With her skimpy waitress outfit, she certainly has a fanservice oriented design, but also distributes a cute and fluffy atmosphere. With her visual appeal and above average quality she is a convincing figure made by Kalmia Project, I’m curious to see more figures from that company.
