I coincidentally received this figure portraying a cute ninja from my friend Miette some time ago.
Akatsuki was released in December 2015, she is scaled 1/7 and measures 19 cm, because her character is depicted as small that is about right. As already mentioned she was manufactured by the now deceased Aquamarine. Amasu was in charge of sculpting her. Back then she merely cost 13.000 Yen.
I didn’t even watch Log Horizon at that time, but some months later I did… Geez, I really tried liking Log Horizon, It was unfortunately not to my liking.

I’m really curious what has been happening behind the scenes with Aquamarine, I mean how can a sub label company from Good Smile Company can end up in bankrupt. Isn’t there some kind of support from the mother company? Aquamarine actually manufactured and planned around 147 figures, most of them were very good. Fortunately most pending figure projects have been taken over by GSC, which again is odd, but that’s business.

The figure is quite nice to look at with her cute face with the friendly expression Akatsuki puts a smile on my face. The sculpted stubs nose is truly cute and goes well with her slightly parted lips. I really like her dark purple hair with the long ponytail and the interesting design of the strands at the front of her head, which remind me of cutted paper stripes.

The figure is dressed in a ninja outfit, it only makes sense that the chosen colors are low profile and stealth. A combination of anthracite, olive green and red, as the only popping color on Akatsuki.

Her outfit is nicely designed and looks great, there are details like the small armor bits and other smaller details. The cargo pants are bulky, the white belt is a nice color highlight at her feet she has antique looking shinobu shoes.

The tiny bag and weapon holster at the back give everything a complete feel and finish. Those detached sleeves reveal a bit of skin, can’t be a bishoujo figure without a little bit of that.
She has the standard ninja weapons, a laito and some daggers, those daggers can be placed into Akatsuki’s hand, but fall off easily. Aside from that everything is nice made with attention to detail.

In summary it’s a nice figure with a very good quality. This figure of Akatsuki with her petite build, the nicely designed and naturally styled Shinobu outfit is a great figure. Her simply adorable face is a very cute.

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

Hello fellow figure collectors, on February the 18th was the annual Wonder Festival Winter event, the first Wonder Festival of 2018. The figure manufacturers exhibited their current projects and planned figures for the future.

I had a very positive impression of this years event, I hope you also liked it. It was a nice mix of quite different figures from different origin. I was really happy about the new Sairenji Haruna from Alter, the charming Takagi san, an 1/6 scaled Rico from Made in Abbys and finally a beautiful figure of Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière as bride.

Of course there were many more eye catching figures, also in the ero category the manufacturers did not disappoint.

I really appreciate the effort of those people, they make the Wonderfestival events accessible for us.

Take a look at my preordered figures of this time…

Sonico – 10th Anniversary Wedding Ver.

Yeah, I had to get Sonico, captured in her happiest moment. The sweet bride is scaled 1/6 and with the elaborate dress she is an extremely beautiful Sonico figure, the smile is really lovely and nearly grabs all the attention, still even on the day of her wedding, Sonico chose a skimpy outfit to please her fans. The sculptor also gave her a buxom dynamite body, more voluptuous than usually shown, she has big boobs, delicious thighs and also an remarkable big butt.

Sonico also comes with an alternate expression that shows her with closed and a kiss mouth, there also was a special version with human sized wedding rings and marriage certificate, but I’m not so rich nor so obsessed about Sonico.

manufacturer: GSC – scale: 1/6 – release: January 2018

Saber – Type-Moon Racing ver

Ah, that Saber is a Saber I like, as Grid Girl she looks very cheerful and cute, I love her expression with the turned eyes and open mouth smile, the breezy outfit looks great on her and reveal a bit more of Saber’s sporty body. The additional Excalibur umbrella is a nice eyecatcher, although there will be the option to pose her left arm differently. It’s actually my first preorder of figure made by the manufacturer Stronger, I’m expecting a really nice looking figure.

manufacturer: Stronger – scale: 1/7 – release: August 2017

Suma May – Issho ni Shiyo

The figure is based on a shorter ero manga scene, but May is so beautiful, that I just had to order her. She is a pretty blonde girl dressed in a super villain like dress. Her slightly flustered and embarrassed expression is great, especially when it is combined with her attractive body that portrays her soft curves which are also accentuated by her dress.

manufacturer: Dragon Toy – scale: 1/6 – release: June 2017

Original Character – Hanasaki Marika

I also have pre ordered this cute and cuddly figure, she has an adorable and great expression and the pink hair has a pretty, rather innocent looking style. The extremely attractive figure obviously has beautifully shaped thighs and a soft and beautiful round butt. I like the figures half nude presentation, with the loose white shirt and somehow pulled up panties, she looks barely dressed or nearly nude, depending on ones perspective. Marika is not only a figure, she also has a complete bathroom wall diorama base and the bathroom lamp also is fully function able.

manufacturer: Native – scale: 1/7 – release: October 2017

Original Character – Slingshot Swimwear Girl

The last ordered figure recently looks like a good mannered ojou sama, although the thing she is performing currently are not very ojou sama like. Well, social media offers many ways to express oneself, in her case I won’t judge. She has a pretty, self confident expression and a really stunning body. After I placed my order for this figure, I noticed that I bought a number of this kind of figures recently and started to feel a little ashamed about it, I always had interest in these naughty figures, but I ignore the completely lewd ones though, since they are not that interesting and appealing to me. What I like about the so called “naughty figures” is that they combine elaborately designed expressions with really attractive and detailed bodies, I like both aspects. In my opinion there should be more dressed figures with such interesting and elaborately made faces, too. You can try to look for such figures, good luck with that haha.

manufacturer: Rocket Boy – scale: 1/6 – release: August 2017

Interesting figures

Lets take a look at a few selected figures that were recently listed in the shops and left a positive impression. Among the listed items are a few things I totally would like to have, but I have to see how my current pre orders turn out.

Aty – Summon Night 3

I always liked the characterdesign of Aty, the figure adaption from ALTER already was great, but it did not have the sweet expression of this one we are seeing here. Another great aspect of the new figure is the size, Aty is scaled 1/5.

manufacturer: Phat Company – scale: 1/5 – release: October 2017

Kanzaki Ranko – Idolmaster Cinderella Girls – Bara no Yami Hime Ver.

This figure of Ranko looks amazing in every regard. Of course, I expected her to be expensive, but she actually turned out even more expensive, that I had to reconsider my preorder plans for her, at the moment I don’t see it happen.

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/7 – release: November 2017

Albedo – Overlord

My first impression on Albedo was not so good, but after a second look, she appears to be very pretty, I still find her pose to be a bit unfortunately chosen, her face seems to be pointing at the cealing, with such a beautiful head the figure should be looking at the viewer. Anyway from a photographers perspective she might be a good purchase.

manufacturer: GSC – scale: 1/8 – release: December 2017

Mai Kawakami – Myriad Colors Phantom World

Kyahh! she looks so nice and pretty! Mai Kawakamai unfortunately was really used as fanservice machine in the her first episode, even I felt sorry for her ;D In a normal anime you should not sell off your characters like that. She really is a nice girl with a kind personality that deserves a modest figure adaption, too. Frankly speaking the figure also highlights the fanservice aspects, but it’s a pretty figure of Mai with an adorable face, pretty hair and a very attractive body.

manufacturer: Ques Q – scale: 1/7 – release: October 2017

Oppai no Kakikata – Hazumi Oomune illustration by Nekoume

The quite busty figure is very charming, the huge breasts are not the only appealing points of her, the character design by Nekoume is quite lovely with the cute face and hairstyle. As additionally feature she comes with this friendly face and a different bashful expression, the figure also has glasses, to my surprise everything about her outfit turned out to be castoffable. I feel a bit shy to add another fanservice heavy figure to my preorders, but she looks so nice.

manufacturer: Alphamax – scale: 1/6 – release: October 2017

Jack-O – GUILTY GEAR Xrd -REVELATOR-

I admit that I never saw this Jack-O character before, but when I saw the figure I was quite impressed by how cool and pretty she looks, everything about this figure looks really cool and stylish, I like the outfit and her expressive face.

manufacturer: Aquamarine – scale: 1/7 – release: September 2017

Belphegor  – The Seven Deadly Sins – Maou Mokushiroku

The “Sin Nanatsu no Taizai” anime finally started and it’s more arthouse like, as I would have ever expected, the characters were nicely adapted and bring the figures we all probably bought in the past to life. Did you know the very first figure of them were made in 2013? The later Maou Mokushiroku versions continue to be very interesting and Belphegor looks also very pretty even though or especially in the naughty pole dance context.

manufacturer: Orchid Seed – scale: 1/7 – release: December 2017

Izetta – Shuumatsu no Izetta

I don’t know how it had been for you, but while I followed the war adventures of Izetta I was always worried sick about her, like a parent, I imagined really terrible things happening to her. Fortunately Aoshima / Funny Knights made this happy looking Izetta riding on a machine gun. They really adapted her dress nicely and put her into an dynamic pose.

manufacturer: Funny Knights – scale: 1/8 – release: May 2017

~Fin~

Kanzaki Ranko – Dark Princess – iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

“jawdrop” Ranko was one of the biggest eyecatchers

Sagisawa Fumika – Bright Memories ver. – iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

Oh wow! Fumika looks extra beautiful and happy

Koizumi Hanayo – Sangatsu Hen – Love Live! School Idol Festival

It looks like ALTER won’t stop and Hanayo gets another figure adaption, to be honest her first figure had a very childish costume. This one is prettier.

Hoshizora Rin – Sangatsu Hen – Love Live! School Idol Festival

following Hanayo’s outfit Rin also gets a new figure adaption

Lala Satalin Deviluke – Maid ver. – To LOVEru Darkness

the planning team of Alter apparently likes To Love Ru Darkness and Lala. Here she is portrayed as naughty maid ^^

Koshimizu Sachiko – Jishou – Kanpeki ver. –  iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

I like Sachiko’s interpretation of cute, she wears a lovely expression and beautiful dress.

Ichinose Shiki – Perfume Tripper ver. – iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

Another Idol, but in a different context as on stage. The figure looks really interesting and wears an attractive outfit.

Lancer – Fate/Grand Order

Everyone likes pretty women in cozy sweaters.

Sonico – 10th Anniversary Wedding ver.

OMG! a Sonico bride was also present, extremely beautiful and adorable. I could already preorder her last week.

Vira – Granblue Fantasy – Summer ver.

Vira looks quite pretty there. Idols and Kancolle still overshadow Granblue Fantasy, but slowly the number of figures increases.

Miki Sayaka – Gekijouban Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica 

I like my Sayaka Miki figure from GSC a lot, this one seems to be a little more dynamic

Shigure – Kantai Collection  – Casual ver.

Oh my god a casual Kancolle girl! I was always more interestest in the characters than the bulky shipparts. Shigure also is a favorite of mine, she even has a camera.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri – Swimsuit ver. – Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭

Haha that Eriri is cute, I really like swimsuit girls paired with swim rings.

Arisa – Shadowverse

This one appears like a very detailed figure, the female archer is pretty and has pointy elf ears.

Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg – Swimsuit ver. – High School Fleet

considering the cute style of the anime, I guess this figure might look really sweet after she received some paint.

Irizaki Mei – Swimsuit ver. – High School Fleet

The hyperactive Torpedo Officer is also nicely captured, I like the inflatable torpedo toy she has and the bare shoulder her loose shirt reveals.

Mutsuki – Nendoroid – Kantai Collection

I’m quite happy about a Nendoroid of my ship waifu Mutsuki.

Lala Satalin Deviluke – bride ver. – To LOVEru Darkness

Max Factory also likes Lala, she looks very cute and I think about adding her to my Sairenji bride, so I would be a very happy fan of the first TLR season.

Shuten Douji – Fate/Grand Order

Yes, she is a sexy, little demon. Even without really knowing the origin I would say Max Factory created a stunning figure adaption of the character.

Iowa – Half Damage ver. – Kantai Collection

The pretty Iowa ship girl was a nice addition to Kancolle, she quickly became very popular. In her half damaged look, Iowa looks beautiful, curvy and has a flirty atmosphere, like a pin up girl.

Hatsune Miku – Racing 2016, Team Ukyo Support ver.

Seems to be bicycle racing Miku with all the focus on bicycles in anime recently, this no bad idea ad most of the figure looks very appealing.

Takamaki Anne – Kaitou Fuku Ver. – Persona 5

This looks great, but who is this?

Aty – Summon Night 3

Ii always liked Aty’s character design, this upcoming figure of her is scaled 1/5 which is very nice.

Rem – Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Rem is so much more popular than her sister. Still despite all her cuteness a naughty bikini bride might not be the best outfit for her.

Kawakami Mai – Musaigen no Phantom World

Yeah, I want this cute figure of Mai, actually more figures from Musaigen no Phantom World.

Ayanami Rei – Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Q

Lady Rei looking good

Mizunashi Akari – Aria

Will this finally be a Akira figure that I want to buy I hope so.

Sakuya – Blade Arcus From Shining EX

Sakuya sensei! I’m very interested into such a figure.

Kashima – Kantai Collection 

Amakuni made a lovely Kashima figure, such a nicely painted face and remember, don’t do bad things to Kashima!

Michael – The Seven Heavenly Virtues  

The 7 Deadly Sins receive some counterparts, The Seven Heavenly Virtues I’m not that interested in another lineup, but Charity is very cute.

Izetta – Shuumatsu no Izetta

Awww it’s Izetta! the pose and expression are so good.

Vira – Granblue Fantasy

So this is Vira when she is not going to the beach, I like her playful but also dangerous expression.

Charlotte – Shironeko Project

This one looks also very cool

Sonico – SoniComi – Christmas ver.

Some progress on Santa Sonico, she is nicely detailed so far.

Galko-chan – Nurse style – Oshiete! Galko-chan 

Galko as nurse, sure why not, please continue.

Tenshi – Bunny Style – Angel Beats! 1st Beat

Tenshi looks very cute, but also attractive in her bunny suit.

Alice – Queen’s Gate

Yay, finally there is a figure, since I’ve received my Alice from AlphaXOmega I also wanted another figure of her in a standing.

Tamaki Ako – Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko Janai to Omotta? 

Please make her soon, Ako is so sweet.

White elf – Original Character – I.V.E

The elf figure looks so interesting and attractive

Usako – Hoshizora no Babylon -Semarikuru Cosmic Sukebe Onee-sans

A figure based on a VN game ^^ nice curves.

Original Character – I.V.E – Laura Mischief

Another appealing figure from Kalmia Project, I really like their choices of figure adaptions so far.

Original Character – Houtengeki

I know this illustrator from pixiv, I really like it and hope to see a prototype next time.

Original Character – Houtengeki II

A very talented illustrator

Original Character – yapo

One of my friends pointed out that the cute girl is a trap, but as long as it’s cute…

With this borderline illustration we end todays post, I hope you also had fun with the first Wonderfestival of 2017 coverage, the next one will be on 3rd July. The pictures were borrowed from akiba weekend, Akibaphotography,
Cut A News and moeyo. Thank you for the hard work otherwise such a post wouldn’t be possible.

stay tuned for the nex post with the 18+ part of the Wonderfestival 2017 winter.

Hi dear figure collectors, a few days ago the Wonderfestival 2016 [Summer]  happened.

The Wonderfestival is a main event for figure manufacturers to showcase their upcoming and planned figures. Illustrations, early prototypes and colored samples are on display.

I’ve never been there in person, but it’s always a highlight for me. Especially this time it was one of the more awesome kind of Wonfes, I never listed so many figures I liked before.

In this post I will feature everything that caught my interest, normal and ecchi figures.

Please understand that I can’t write my impressions on every of these ~80 figures.

thx for taking all the pictures

Welcome to New Preorders part 30, my figure ordering slowed down a little in recent related posts, still 30 is quite a number worth mentioning. I placed 2 figure orders since part 29, so today we will mainly take a look at the figures that recently were listed in the shops.

Ordered Items

So here are the figures I’ve ordered recently …

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Yudachi Kai Ni

manufacturer: GSC – scale: 1/8 – release: october 2016

After Shigure Kai which was covered in a previous post on this blog, it didn’t took long for her “classmate” Yuudachi to be officially presented by GSC. The “Nightmare from the Salomons” looks absolutely stunning with her confident pose and expression ready for battle. Aside from looking cool with her detailed mechanical backpack , Yuudachi still shows lots of cuteness.

Natsu no Kemono – Chitose – Character’s Selection

manufacturer: Rocket Boy, Native – scale: 1/6 – release: june 2016

I couldn’t resist to place an order for this darling (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄). She obviously has her naughty bits and details, but she also creates this sweet and romantic atmosphere around her. This lovely facial expression is just marvelous. I also love her soft skin look and her butt is terrific.

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them. Tell me which one you like or which not, or which figure you would like to see in a review

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Riina Tada

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/8 – release: august 2016

I ordered Idolmaster Cinderella Girls figures before the anime got popular, I honestly tried to ignore the anime when it aired. Recently I just watched both seasons and surprisingly my enjoyment was very, very high and many characters grow on me. Soon I started noticing the figure adaptions, too. The figure of Tadaa Rina is the first one that I find extremely appealing.

I liked the group of her and Miku a lot, there is also a Miku figure matching Riina’s visual style, but her priority is less high for me. Riina looks super cute and also will come with an e-guitar.

Strike Witches – Charlotte E. Yeager Bunny style

manufacturer: Aquamarine- scale: 1/8 – release: July 2016

Useless 10bit video releases prevented me from watching the latest Strike Witches animation, but whatever. The figure of Charlotte looks adorable with cap and bunny suit combination.

The friendly face, her ample busom and alternative hand options are nice, she has rather detailed fingers. Until Miette-chan reviewed a figure made by Aquamarine, I had no real opinion regarding their quality before, but apparently their latest figures are good quality.

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Akitsushima

manufacturer: Funny Knights – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I’m not familiar with this relatively new ship from Kancolle, but damn I love her design. Akitsushima is a very cute girl with a lively personality. Her face is appealing as well; purple eyes and a pretty smile. The nicely designed uniform, but also her mechanical ship parts look cool and interesting. It’s also really cute how she carries the big plane around gently.

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Kaede Takakagi

manufacturer: Wave – scale: 1/8 – release: july 2016

I like that this figure of Kaede has the appearance and charm of a real lady, a young lady ;D Oh my! her face and make up look so gorgeous. Her outfit might be simple from a certain standpoint, in my eyes it really got class and suits the attractive Kaede in a casual manner.

Super Sonico with Macaron Tower

manufacturer: Alphamax – scale: 1/7 – release: august 2016

That is a super adorable Sonico figure, a sweet face which shows her love for macarons ;D
She is wearing an extremely cute, nice pastel colored, frilly bikini. Also her curvy and buxom body appears to be nicely portrayed in this figure adaption. I already have a number of cute Sonico figures, so I rather feel like not getting this one.

Love Live! School Idol Festival – Nozomi Tojo

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I doubt that we will see a nicer figure adaption of Nozomi, ALTER makes stunning Love Live! School Idol Festival figure. Nozomi wears a spectacular and elaborately designed costume, it also ccompliments her womanly body. I’m not sure if the closed eye was a good design idea,, I would be happier with both of her pretty eyes opened.

Figures I should have ordered already, but other shit came up

Here are figures I also would have liked to order, but other things happened. Preorder slots were already full or I simply noticed the figure too late.

Amagi Brilliant Park – Isuzu Sento

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I feel so sad that I can’t fit her in my current preorder roadmap,  in june I already have two exclusive and expensive figure orders  that prevent any further figure in that month. I hope something will be delayed sooner than  later. Buuuwahhh Sento is so pretty ੨( ･᷄ ︵･᷅ )ｼ..

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata – Katou Megumi

manufacturer: Aniplex – scale: 1/7 – release: september 2016

I honestly didn’t notice her during the limited preorder time XD Hopefully I can find her after release.  The figure is very sweet, she has a lovely expression and also an alternative face.

Mahou Shoujo – Suzuhara Misae – Summer Sailor Uniform

manufacturer: Orca Toys – scale: 1/7 – release: february 2016

I’m not especially fond of characterdesign of Raita, I don’t like certain ssmall aspects of it. The figure was freshly released and owner pictures showed that Misae looks great ♡.

That is the end of my small New Preorder overview post. Was there something you already preordered or plan to order soon? Let me know your story in the comments. see you soon ^^

Today, we will take a look on the latest figures that popped up at the shops recently. It has been a while since the last “New Preorders” post, I totally forgot it to be honest. It feels like prices for our precious figures climbed even more in the meantime , the Dollfie/BJD hobby I recently got more interested in is not so much more expensive, anymore.

 Ordered Items

Even though I struggled with Preorder decisions, there still were figures I considered convincing. Strangely two are ecchi and exclusive, I hope the manufacturers will show their figures from the past Wonderfestival soon, so that my preorder roadmap looks less ecchi.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata – Eriri Spencer Sawamura

In the end I’ve betrayed Utaha senpei with Eriri ;D I just ordered this figure of Eriri, I love her expression and the detailed paintjob. And when you can take off the jacket, she just gets more beautiful, it’so nice how the shirt accentuates her petite body and she has good thighs.

manufacturer: GSC release date: April 2016 scale: 1/7 price: 10.800 Y

Original Character – Kankoshi Momoi – simple version

There where 2 versions, one with gynaecological chair for around 17.000 Yen and one with a beanbag for 12.000 Yen, since I was mainly interested in the figure I decided for the simple version. I like these design of the nurse, she is very pretty and I’m enchanted by the playful expression. The figure has pretty bare boobs, I’m ok with displaying figures this way haha.

manufacturer: Native release date: November 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 12.037 Y

Asmodeus – Maou Mokushiroku – Koori Shiri Ice Cream no Bushi

The third run of the 7  Deadly Sins is more interesting to me, the bigger 1/7 scale brings out the characterdesign even more, be it the pretty demon girl faces or the attractive bodies, but also the poses appear more dynamic. I already ordered the Leviathan – Maou Mokushiroku figure and now Asmodeus. I like the creative idea of a figure lying around in a tasty sundae.
Asmodeus looks super hot with the boots and her prominent butt and I like these fine hair strands and the face. Please don’t mind this bizarre ice on a stick, I guess it’s removable.

manufacturer: Amakuni release date: March 2016 scale: 1/7 price: 12.000 Y

Kantai Collection – Yuudachi Kai Ni – Parfom –

Yuudachi is the prettiest Destroyer girl and this action figure caught my interest. This 14cm deformed styled figure is called Parform, it’s a poseable figure with many interchangeable parts and three faces. The figure looks really pretty and the posing options are probably fun.

manufacturer: Phat Company release date: October 2015 price: 5.500 Y

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them. Tell me which one you like or which not, or which figure you would like to see in a review

Hyakka Ryoran – Matabei Goto Kenki Ver.

I was watching this figure since some time, it’s a interesting somehow cute figure, the pose is fun when Matabei is carrying an oversized brush. It’s her Master Samurai appearance and the brush is actually a spear. The pose is also nice because you can admire her great looking butt and her cute sulking face expression at the same time, maybe thats also the reason for her sulking. Matabei appears older than her Samurai Girl friends, at least she has a sturdier frame. Her butt has a good size from time to time I like a bit more butt in my figure collection.

manufacturer: ALTER release date: November 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 13.824 Y

Captain Earth – Hana Mutou

I already mentioned that I’m a big fan of Captain Earth, I already received a figure of the Villain Moco. Hana is a good girl with a strong tan and beautiful blue eyes. She is without a doubt a pretty girl an her simple dress underlines her innocent nature.

manufacturer: Aquamarine release date: November 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 14.940 Y

Kantai Collection – Tatsuta

Ques Q turned the two sisters into appealing figures based on the official art, both sisters are somewhat dangerous, Tatsuta is a charming yandere in an elegant outfit. She looks really pretty, the black cutout dress nicely accentuates her chest covered with a white shirt.

manufacturer: Ques Q release date: November 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 12.700 Y

Kantai Collection – Tenryuu

Tenryuu is the more aggressive, intimidating, tomboyish sister, her design is more all out, but her outfit is also quite appealing, personally I prefer Tenryuu a little bit, she is just so cool.

manufacturer: Ques Q release date: November 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 12.700 Y

Futsuu no Joshikousei ga [LocoDol] Yattemita. – Yui Mikoze

Without knowing the origin I think the concept is pretty funny. The sporty, curvy girl watching you from inside the mascot costume. You’ll also have secondary option to display, after her mascot job is over. The sweaty look is somehow cute and her stretchy sport dress is sexy.

manufacturer: Phat Company release date: December 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 14.904 Y

Fire Girl – Homura Hinooka Swimsuit style

The first time I saw this figure, I really liked her colors and the face, she’s a simple yet also stylish swimsuit figure. She’s pretty, but still I think she needs more volume around her thighs.

manufacturer: Aquamarine release date: December 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 14.040 Y

Maid-san to Boin Damashii – Mikage Kuroki

Sexy meido incoming. This is a really good looking figure especially with glasses she’s such a hottie. Her body is nice, also with a lovely backside with smaller boobs that would still be a wonderful figure, though FREEing made her ultra busty, which is not everybodies cup of tea.

manufacturer: FREEing release date: February 2016 scale: 1/4 price: 22.800 Y

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU 2 – Yukino Yukinoshita

Kotobukiya makes the best promo pictures for their figures, Yukino looks great with her pale skin and moon blue eyes. The expressive pose with her sitting on the chair also adds a lot to her appeal. She’s cool, beautiful and wears a nice uniform, black hair is always win.

manufacturer: Kotobukiya release date: December 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 9.936 Y

Maken-Ki! – Aki Nijou

I like the cuddly girls of Maken-Ki! I was super surprised as preorders opened last week, in general Orchid Seed takes longer to paint their prototypes. Aki sensei is the cute doctor, I wanna pinch her cheeks (these in her face, ok) I like her face, hair and  alluring presentation.
In the anime she is refered to as K cup, I’m not sure if the figure really has that proportions.

manufacturer: Orchid Seed release date: February 2016 scale: 1/7 price: 12.960 Y

Grisaia no Kajitsu – Yumiko Sakaki

Yumiko the tsundere heroine from Grisai, coincidentially I played the Game not long ago and had fun with her arc. Her sweet side makes her really adorable. In her bashful pose and cute bunnysuit she also looks great. Holding a giant carrot makes it an even cuter figure.

manufacturer: Orchid Seed release date: January 2016 scale: 1/7 price: 13.824 Y

Although I’m mainly a collector of attractive Bishoujo figures, Nendoroids always have a place in my heart, my last purchase was Takamachi Nanoha – Nendoroid #263 , recently two other for me very appealing Nendoroids were announced.

Nendoroid – Love Live!: Kotori Minami Training Outfit Ver.

I like the training outfits much more, since they don’t look like carnival XD Every girl comes in an unique outfit with a special character specific item. So far I like the Kotori Nendoroid the most, even though I have other Top 3 characters, she’s just too cute.

manufacturer: GSC release date: December 2015  price: 3.500 Y

Nendoroid – Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Oyodo

The is something I really like about this Oyodo Nendoroid, maybe it’s the hairstyle in combination with the black color, the glasses or the cheeky face. Either way she really comes with a load of useful accesories next to her already huge “backpack”.

manufacturer: GSC release date: January 2016  price: 5.000 Y

So apparently that were all the things I was interested in, maybe you liked a few of them, too. Or did you discover different figures recently that might have triggered your interest?

Today, we will take a look on the latest figures that popped up at the shops recently.

I have the impression that figure manufacturing Companies are really pushing it these last frew months. It’s nice that there are so many pretty figures announced and in development, but it puts us more passionate figure collectors into a dire situation.

I’m at the point where I don’t know which figure I should give preorder priority.

 Ordered Items

Even though I struggled with Preorder decision, there still were figures I just had to order.

To Love-Ru Darkness – Haruna Sairenji

Haruna As this To Love Ru anime started, I was head over heels for her, unfortunately her screentime and role was reduced to something unimportant. Finally a beautiful figure of her was announced by Max Factory. She’s 1/6 big, nicely sculpted and shows a really pretty face.

On a side note there is something about bride related figures that makes feel uncomfortable, maybe because I like a bunch of female anime characters, it would feel like cheating to take one as bride ;D Anyway this doesn’t have a real bridal dress and Haruna feels greatly done.

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: November 2015 scale: 1/6 price: 11.111 Y

Yahari Ore … – Yuigahama Yui

I knew that I had to get this figure since the Wonfes prototype was shown. I have to admit that I don’t know anything about her origin. Still there are several aspects about this figure I really like, a cheerful face, a black dress, ample bosom belly free top, a beautiful belly, fingerless gloves all present on a lovely, playful figure.

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: October 2015 scale: 1/6 price: 10.926 Y

Kan Colle – Nagato – figFIX

This figure is definetely not bad, but probably miles away from the Nagato figure of my dreams, but something forced me to get it anyway. It’s a figFix, a figma sized static figure, I ordered the GSC Shop version with additional angry face plate.

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: October 2015 scale: 1/6 price: 5.093 Y

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them. It’s unfortunately that most are sheduled for the same months. Nevertheless, feel free to tell my which one you like or which not, or which figure you would like to see in a review

Hyperdimension Neptunia – Black Heart

ALTER’s adaption of Black heart looks nothing less than fantastic, sporting a dynamic pose with an appaling 1/7 scale. The core figure already looks lovely with her attractive sculpted body, but also her elaborate fighting gear adds a lot to this figures appearance and appeal.

The price is as to be expected heavy, but I’d like to delay my decision about placing a preorder a little more, even though I know that I want this figure.

manufacturer: ALTER release date: October 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 14.800 Y

Kizumonogatari – Kiss Shot Acerola Orion Heart Under Blade

Hey, it’s grown up Shinobu ^^ It’s been a while since we heard about this figure for the first time, but thanks to this her pricetag is still moderate. The lady looks pretty and very attractive with her confident presentation. There is also a lot of sex appeal to find on this figure ;D.

manufacturer: GSC release date: November 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 10.926Y

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Yukikaze

Kyahhh! Yukikaze looks quite nice, her details on figure and machine parts are nicely done and the expression of the character is adorable. Her active pose and the wet look of her shirt make her even more interesting. Psst can’t someone do a Samidare or Akatzuki?

manufacturer: Aquamarine release date: August 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 12.000 Y

DC COMICS BISHOUJO – Black Canary

Before I got in contact with japanese bishoujo media, I was fan of a certain american comic style, portraying their female heroes and villains in an appealing combination of beautiful, confidence and seductive appeal. Even I never heard of Black Canary, even in my best years, this cool girl reminds me of that certain style and I just love what Kotobukiya did here, great face and an awesome outfit. She’s surprisingly cheap compared to the rest on the market.

manufacturer: Kotobukiya release date: October 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 7.500 Y

World Conquest Zvezda Plot – Lady Plamya

To everyone who never watched the show please watch it, it’s a lot of fun. There was also a figure of Plamya announced by another popular Company, the Max Factory version has a more expressive face, but like everything else better on this ALTER figure, the vertical lines of her suit are super sexy, I like the way her curves are accentuated and the toned down colors.

Plamya has an awesome outfit with many details and the 1/7 scale is nice more and more figures follow the trend of 1/7, while 1/8 are a little less space consuming, but bigger figures have a more prominent presence.

manufacturer: ALTER release date: October 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 12.800 Y

Masou Gakuen H x H – Hayuru Himekawa

When someone would have asked me what I would like the most about this figure, my answer would definetely be “her face” Beautiful eyes, flushed cheeks and and open mouth with her teeth showing, she’s so cute, the rest of her is a little less exciting, but not bad, a fanservice body in a playful content. Apparently some complained that the figure is more stacked than she should be when following the illustration and it’s true, also the rather petite body wasn’t adapted faithfully. Considering your perspective these things don’t have to be bad.

Nisekoi – Seishiro Tsugumi

The tomboyish character really shines in this figure adaption, what is really nice about this young lady are the fresh color theme and the rather classy design of her dress. The flustered pose has some great impact, I also can’t deny that Tsumugi has beautiful boobs, also on this figure they paid attention to that, they are nicely shaped and positioned accurately.

manufacturer: Revolve release date: October 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 9.250 Y

Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru – Yuuki Yuuna

As I watched this great anime, my very first impression was “Madoka ripoff” , but then it turned out better as this other Mahou Shoujo hit. Anyway main heroine Yuuki received this quite appealing figure adaption, presenting her ready to strike. She reminds me of a sakura petal with her pastel pink color theme, but don’t be fooled she’s tough. She also comes with her two spiritual guardians, flying cows XD

manufacturer: ALTER release date: September 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 11.800 Y

Soukou Akki Muramasa – Sansei Muramasa

I actually wanted to have preordered this figure already, but it didn’t happen yet. Of course it’s a lovely figure of the famous dark skinned elf Muramasa in an unconventional outfit

Wing can create very appealing final products, so I have no doubts in that regard, she looks pretty, cute and attractive. I should not forget her fantastic butt ;D She will have a head change and topless option, I didn’t expect the last one, honestly. Still I’m surprised that they still need these gaudy big seam lines on these fishnet stockings, compared to doll stockings.

manufacturer: Wing release date: July 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 11.800 Y

Original Character – Tibalt

Embrace Japan sometimes has nice desings like this, Tibalt, a pretty petit demon girl character with a beautiful face and many details and a quite impressive presentation. It’s a very promising figure, yet I have experience with this manufacturer, the things I’ve heard were so so. I will receive a different figure from them in Summer, so I will see it for myself.

manufacturer: Embrace Japan release date: September 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 14.000 Y

Upcoming figures I’m interested in

This post was rather modest so far, but Native recently showed pictures of a painted, but still in devlopment figure.

Original Character – Kankoshi Momoi

This figure is great, this figure is lovely ( ＾◡＾) Native did a really good job with her seductive facial expression, the nurse figure is very detailed, too. I’m always happy when Native figures have optional panties, I have a liking for ecchi figures, but I don’t want to cross the line to real raunchy stuff in my collection. I don’t think that I would feel that comfortable with this gynaecological chair she has as accessory, on the other hand it could be much worse.

So we’ve reached the End

I still can’t decide what I should preorder next, the massive announcement of lovely figures is definetely dangerous and gives me a real headache at the moment, what about you?

Was there something you already ordered or have on your mind?

The plan of buying less figures than last year works so far, although it makes the hobby more exhausting, when I decide about the pro and cons of certain figures, compare them and decide against preordering instantly, instead of ordering everything pleasant for the eye.

Some more months passed after New Preorders part 25, since then I accumulated 4 orders and that justifies a new Preorder Post, it’s part 26 of New Preorders. I will talk about my preorders and other figures that appeared recently and I consider as appealing.

Ordered Items

Fate/EXTRA – Saber EXTRA

I was very much looking forward to the day preorders were opened, I saw this Saber at last years Wonderfestival as she was still an early prototype. A more curvy Saber in swimsuit is the right thing for me, I got super excited as I’ve learned that she’s scaled 1/6. I like most alternative Saber figures, I already have the Saber Maid R, which I still think is awesome. This Saber has a confident face expression and body language and appears a little teasing and dangerous, not to forget that she looks damn hot ;D

manufacturer: Alter release date: August 2015 scale: 1/6 price: 11.664 Y

Nakahara Tomoe

With a official price of 14.815 ¥, This is probably is my most expensive preorder, since Native doesn’t ship to germany and I wasn’t that determined to pay a proxy, shiping costs and customs fees, I placed my order at a german shop, Figuya.com. It’s based on a Toni Taka artwork, what I like is that sculptor applied a few changes on her face to make her look more distinctive. The figure has a rich design and looks just beautiful. As Native figure she is supposed to be a little sexy, she’s not as lewd as other Native products she shows her allure with her low cleavage and revealed legs, she has optional panties and a partial castoff feature.

The figure is sitting on a tableclothed table and also comes with a big traditional umbrella.

manufacturer: Native release date: August 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 14.815 Y

Shigure – Kancolle

In their evolved form Shigure and Yudachi are the coolest looking Destroyer Class girls. As I saw Shigure shown at the last Wonfes I literally freaked out since she is one of my favorite ship girls, if they had shown Samdare I would have probably suffered a heart attack XD

The design is based on a collector card, that is why she looks a little different than in the Kancolle browsergame, but it is no drestic difference, she’s still looking awesome. I like that she has these big guns, GSC also made them exchangeable with smaller guns, I’ve read that it is also possible to remove the gunholder at her back. The torpedo pods are rotateable.

manufacturer: GSC release date: September 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 13.704 Y

Kafuu Chino – Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?

Awww this was a warm and sweet slice of lifew anime, have you seen it? Chino is a girl who works at a coffee shop, even with her young age she is very composed and demure, still she is really cute when interacting with her friends. I was really happy about this figure announcement from Ques Q, Chino looks really adorable, I love her pretty uniform and the cute facial expression. She’s listed as 1/7 scaled figure what I really appreciate.

It’s funny that this figure is so not fitting with my other preorders this year, you can guess why. Since she comes out in the same month, I combined her order with the buxom Succubus lady, which I start to feel embarassed about, I can’t imagine myself to display the 1/6 Demon girl though I’m also looking forward to it and her beautiful face… whatever.

manufacturer: Ques Q release date: July 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 9.200 Y

 Moco – Captain Earth – Dengeki Special version

I’m a big fan of Captain Earth, it’s the kind of show I enjoy with action, friendship, romance and cool villains. At least one figure of it was announced, Moco one of the villains, not my favorite character from the show, but it’s fair enough. Yeah she’s a sensual character and her clothes are raher extreme. As special version she has some extra parts. I did not hear much praise about Embrace Japan but I can’t be picky also the prototype looks more than just good.

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them. It’s unfortunately that most are sheduled for a July release, with 3 preorders in this month I’m already full. Nevertheless, feel free to tell my which one you like or which not, or which figure you would like to see in a review

Push!! Cover Girl

I feel like I’ve waited an eternity for this figure to reach preorder status, I was follwing the “progress” since it was a grey unpainted prototype. I was delighted to see her ready last Wonfes, but you know happened I don’t want her that badly anymore, that feels so bad.

I recently read a nice quote about her on mfc “seems like a long time since figures with this kind of art style has been made.” Well, it probably wasn’t the intention of the writer, but you can say that she as figure is kinda outdated after these three years. She’s nevertheless cute, don’t you think? I can’t help myself I hate these shoes and socks, that is no convincing beach figure…

Girls und Panzer – Yukari Akiyama

This figure is a great portray of the friendly tank otaku Yukari, Girls und Panzer was one of my top favorite animes recently and I approve of this, be it the dress, the way she is posed or her friendly and bright smile, she’s very cute and surprisingly affordable. Would be cool if all characters of team Anglerfisch would get a figure, I’m no fan of sets, but would consider to make an exception here.

Katsuragi Nama – Senran Kagura

This Katsuragi figure has a certain feature, you can put things between her soft boobs…
I kind of like how this figure is made, her body looks great and the carttonish Senran Kagura style has been adapted faithfully. Ok the often so confident Katsuragi doesn’t look that happy, but that also has a certain appeal to some folks. She’s somehow very cute.

 manufacturer: Toy’s Works release date: June 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 10.250 Y

Mobile Suit Gundam: Sayla Mass

I don’t know this character to be honest, but I like pretty vintage space opera costumes like hers, the woman herself has a nice expression on her face and an appealing hairstyle.

 manufacturer: MegaHouse release date: July 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 9.000 Y

Bertille Althusser – Walkure Romanze More & More

I like the design of this figure quite a lot, much more than their previous bikini armor figures to be honest, since bikini and armor have a more appealing desgn. Daiki is always good with strong and buxom warrior lady’s like Bertille is and recreated her alluring body’s in a very detailed way, even better since she’s scaled 1/6. Bertille has lovey corkscrew braids, too. While we are speaking about it, does Daiki still use these cheap black bases?

 manufacturer: Daiki Kogyo release date: September 2015 scale: 1/6 price: 14.800 Y

Sinon – Sword Art Online II

A figure that portrays Sinon as an even more badass sniper that she actually already is. I like that the face goes into a more realistic direction. Also she appears very detailed and nicely made, the 1/7 makes it more interesting, the retail list price unfortunately is a bit high, even when most shops have a discount.

manufacturer: Aquamarine release date: July 2015 scale: 1/7 price: 14.040 Y

Chitoge Kirisaki – Nisekoi

I plan to watch this show in the next few weeks, Chitoge has a very distinctive appearance as character, I’m already enchanted. Alter made anbespecially great looking figure in a lovely casual outfit captured in a super dynamic, cheerful pose. I love the details of her face so much. Damn July release, hopefully I can get her later… delay, delay, Delay!

manufacturer: Alter release date: July 2015 scale: 1/8 price: 12.744 Y

Upcoming figures I’m interested in

Sansei Muramasa – Bunny version

That is probably my favorite bunny suit figure, since she looks beautiful in it. She will have a happy face and an emarassed one. The figure is still work in progress, but I assume her to be ready for preorders within the next two months.
