As first review of 2019 I chose the stunning figure of Ashikaga Chachamaru made by ALTER. Ashikaga Chachamaru is based on an VN named Soukou Akki Muramasa, which has been released in 2009.

I actually have to admit that I don’t know anything about her character and only a little about the game she is based on, except from the several CG illustrations that are widely spread around the internet, there aren’t that many informations available. Soukou Akki Muramasa hasn’t been translated so far. The game itself appears quite dark themed, with it’s dystopian setting, it also has no problems with showing the heroines in roughed up conditions.

Nevertheless it’s a popular game with beautiful and attractive character designs, illustrated by the great Namaniku ATK. The game already provided over a dozen figures of mainly Muramasa and Chachamaru. ALTER’s Ashikaga Chachamaru is her 3rd figure adaption, she was released in early December. She has been sculpted by Amato, is scaled 1/7 and measures 22 cm in height. After putting the figure on the base no further assembly is required.

The figure has a very pretty face, the big amber colored eyes are quite expressive, I’m a fan of her thicker eyebrows. She has a slightly opened mouth with a little fang. A detail I also like a lot about the figure are the pointy ears.
Overall she has a friendly expression with a mischievous gaze, it’s really great how lively her face turned out.

Chachamaru hairstyle reminds me of everyone’s favorite vampire Shinobu. She has very long hair with pointy tips, it shows a lot of movement and is captured in a dynamic momentum. The hair is painted in a not too brash tone of yellow with darker shading here and there. The bushy fringe gives the girl a wild and attractive look.

The figures design captures Ashikaga Chachamaru in the middle of undressing with an alluring intention. She’s a girl of average size sporting an enchantingly petite an youthful body. Even though she is a petite girl, her back and abdomen shows a lot of definition. Chachamaru isn’t especially well endowed, she has a small chest and a sexy small butt.

In a way her fairy like built emits a sense of fragility, of course the figure itself is a sturdy one. Her legs are relatively long and the thighs have a nice volume. Chachamaru looks really attractive and the sporty appearance suits her nicely.

The figures halfway dressed outfit is very sexy. She has nothing to wear over her bra, I have no idea where her top went to? She wears a bra with opened up backside. She wears blue striped underwear in a girly design. with blue ribbons at the bra’s and panties front. The bottom part is a thong though. Chachamaru wears nicely designed hotpants painted in orange and brown, it shows great shading effects and realistically sculpted wrinkles.

In her hand the figure holds a long black belt, that was ought to keep the tight piece of clothing in place.
She wears sturdy looking fingerless gloves that cover 2/3 of her forearm, it gives the petite figure a slightly tough appearance. the right hand has a yellow rope wrapped around and you can notice Chachamaru’s tiny thumb.
Her black thigh highs accentuate her lovely thighs and trained calves, they also create the perfect zettai ryōiki.

Final Words
I like this figure of Chachamaru a lot, to me she is adorable and erotic, her facial expression is simply great. Together with hotpants and thigh highs her outfit looks cool. On first look there is the girly underwear but it turns out to include a set of thong designed panties. Despite from looking tough and used to fighting the petite character nevertheless triggers the “must protect” instinct.

Ashikaga Chachamaru from Alter is a wonderful adaptation of Namaniku ATK characters design. Her alluring expression is both, attractive and cute, it also conveys a feeling of danger. The figures slender and athletic body is really great. In combination with her skin revealing outfit, Chachamaru emits a lot of seductive appeal.

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
