I’ve liked this Granblue Fantasy character already from several fan made illustrations, both normal and more fanservice related ones. I also liked this very figure on first sight, for a few reasons I’ve bought her shortly after the release in October 2016, but fortunately I did.

The figure was sculpted by Matsumoto Kouei, she is scaled 1/8 and is 18,5 cm in height.

Danua the cute and short demon girl surprised me with a quite sad background story, according to that, she is presented in a darker mood unusual for bishoujo figures, though Danua looks very cute in a melancholic way, which is also charming. She has a diorama base and 2 interesting monster dolls with sharp knives that accentuate the morbid atmosphere.

The figures outfit consists of something between a spaghetti strap summer dress and a nightgown with a elaborate corsage around her waist. She also wears fingerless gloves and has a half heartedly bandaged arm. The white dress shows nice wrinkles and shading, also the corsage also looks really good with the dark purple and metallic painted areas.

Danua has elaborately crafted dark hair, the strands are sharp and clean, I also like this reflection line at her deep hanging fringe. At the sides long horns with fancy decorations are coming out of her skull. The demon girl also has cute droopy elf like ears. The figure has a beautiful face, the face tilted downwards creates a unique presentation of a bishoujo figure.

A very appealing aspect of Danua is the variety of expressions she can show, just from changing the perspective, she can look cute, grumpy and also straight scornful.

Danua is a little sister type and speaks with a very cute voice, she appears a bit defenseless, but she is assisted and supported by her living dolls, Hansel and Gretel. They are intelligent and despite their tattered and scary appearance they are very kind and care a lot about Danua. The dolls are also part of this figure, they look really scary without knowing the game. Hansel is walking on the base and Gretel is hold up by Danua in a shy manner.

Danua is a short, petite girl, well partially she is not exactly petite, she has a very attractive body and well endowed boobs, that barely fit into her dress and create a luxuriant cleavage.

The base looks good, but could be a bit more detailed or of higher resolution. The figure can nevertheless also stand without her base, only supported by the train of her long dress.

Final Words

Danua is a great figure, Kotobukiya did a wonderful job with manufacturing her figure.

The figure follows the official game design by Hideo Minaba very closely. She is at the smaller end of the 1/8 scale, but nevertheless a great looking figure with lovely details. Danua is very appealing as figure and her expressive face is just too cute. The sculpting is is very detailed and overalll the figure is nicely colored.

She is still available at some shops, no need to hesitate ^^

Welcome to the first review of 2016, I can’t think of a better way to start than with demon girl.

It’s actually my second figure of the Leviathan character, I received the first one in 2013.
Leviathan is a character from the The 7 Deadly Sins, a line of figures representing to the 7 sins of ancient mythology ( pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth) Leviathan represents envy and is a well endowed teenage demon. This Leviathan is called Hanketsu Hot Pants no Setsu version, she was released in November 2015 and manufactured by Orchid Seed.

The figure is scaled scaled 1/7 and was sculpted by Tanaka Masanori, in this pose she only measures 22cm, but has a nice size and volume overall.

I call the 1/7 scaled The 7 Deadly Sins figures, the second lineup. The origin is named
The 7 Deadly Sins – Maou Mokushiroku. While the first lineup only introduced the characters basic design, the now bigger figures are portrayed in a more creative and lively fashion.

I like the Maou Mokushiroku line quite a bit and will receive Mammon and Asmodeus later this year. These figures in particular are of rather ecchi nature in terms of design and outfit.

On first impression the young demon girl is surprisingly buxom with her fairly sized busom.
Her her annoyed expression is so cute, also with this skimpy outfit, she’s still a cute girl.

Highlights

Face:

“Only once …?” I don’t feel like I can fully comprehend Leviathan’s expression here, it creates strong tsundere vibes, together with the lifted index finger it creates a cute and memorable strong  expression. She has these annoyed looking eyebrows and very detailed eye make up anyway. Her nagging mouth gives her face something irresistable cute.

Hair:

Aside from the pretty shade of purple the figure has elaborately sculpted hair with a lively ponytail. Also from the backside the different strands of hair have a remarkable good articulation and smooth texture. There are also these cute horns of a growing up demon girl.

Body:

The figure shows a lot of skin (again). She has big boobs and attractive hips. The bikini top and string tanga hugs her buxom body tightly. I guess dressing yourself in “slutty” fashion is normal in the demon realm, so please don’t think bad about Leviathan.

As cast off parts you have these super skimpy hotpants, it doesn’t make much of difference, but counts in a sense of being dressed. As further option her chest piece can be swapped with the bare boobs part. She has nicely shaped breasts that take her slightly bendover pose into acount, her nipples are pointing outward. Without the squeezing bikini they at least appear somewhat smaller.

Exchangeable Parts:

In the package there is a second not fully complete body, which allows you to have Leviathan in a different pose. The smart swapping parts process is a interesting part about this figure. We have two necks, two pairs of boobs, two shoulders with arms parts and to completely create a convincing look, additional shoe soles without holes are included.

The pose looks nevertheless slightly silly. It appears like a clumsy fitness or striptease exercise. Aside from that, the figures butt looks great on the second body.

Final Words

Leviathan – Hanketsu Hot Pants no Setsu turned out especially petty and attractive. She has a beautiful and cute head with great looking hair. The details and make up there are very sharp and precisely applied. Without a doubt she is a sexy young demon girl with a hot body.

The cute appearance and facial expression succesfully balances the fully loaded ecchi outfit.
In my opinion Leviathan is mainly a cute figure, one with boobs and fetish clothes, though. The alternative pose is actually more hilariously comical instead of erotic or lewd. The parts swapping idea deserves some praise, it works very well and offers different posing options.

compared to the Amakuni figure, even though it’s no comparison on the same ground, Orchid Seeds 1/7 scaled Leviathan outclasses it in nearly every area, except sense of fashion XD

Orchid Seed made an another very nice figure of “The 7 Deadly Sins”. The only regret I have about the purchase is, that I couldn’t get the special edition, which came with a lovely blanket

This review is NSFW as it contains nudity and stimulating content

The 7 Deadly Sins have been a successful campaign for Hobby Japan, Orchid Seed and Amakuni. Now all figures of the first 1/8 scaled line up except Satan have been released, yet Orchid Seed and Amakuni are also working on more figures the majority in 1/7 scale.

I like this franchise, cute demon girls always have a place in my heart. Still I managed to only buy 2 figures from the 7 Sins first lineup. Leviathan which we reviewed in 2013 and Mammon.

Mammon is probably my most mature figure,  not in years but in appearance. Her figure was released in the end of December 2014, I had to pick her up between the holidays. Mammon was sculpted by Ishiyama Satoshi, the best person when it comes to such kinds of characters.

The figure of Mammon is scaled 1/8 and with around 24 cm rather big, she comes with a lot of stuff, like several decorations for her butt, cursed vegetables, a basket, english instructions and the typical for the 7 Deadly Sins line up two pieced podest base, measuring 8,5 cm.

Her backstory is a little amusing “Mammon is a single mum who was left by her husband and is now shouldering the huge debt he left behind, she mixes dangerous medicines and sells them off at a high price to feed her children.” She actually acts very friendly and ladylike.

The 7 Deadly Sins girls are supposed to be related to the 7 sins in mythology, the planned ova still wasn’t released so it’s somehow difficult to only show an image of a sin through looks. Mammon is supposed to be the image of greed, literally mammon means real estate.

Mammon is an adult demon lady in most shounen anime all grown up ladies have an impressive busom and other endowed things, Mammon’s appearance fits into this archetype. For myself I can say that I like certain busty anime characters, that doesn’t mean I don’t like others, there are things more important than that, like hips & thighs *lol*

Nevertheless, as I preordered Mammon I was a little wary about her large chest. During the time it took for the figure to be finalized I got more acceptable towards larger boobs in the anime related media. Be it illustrations or random anime where really busty heroines became accepted in the mainstream anime in recent times, like Medaka Kurokami or Isuzu Sento.
A few years ago you would only see such sizes in the naughtier subcategory of anime.

After taken pictures with her, I like Mammon more than I would have imagined.

Mammon has long blonde hair, the color is a natural tone, which looks very nice on her.
At each side she has pretty corksrew strands. As demon lady she has beast horns painted in very light purple, between her horns she also has a cute hairband that increases her feminine charm. Mammon is a truly beautiful lady, the dramatic make up with lipstick gives a lot of detail to her face, the added kindness of her expression is quite enchanting.
Would you actually believe me, that I mainly ordered her because of the pretty face? But it’s true.

The figure has an interesting, quite ornate dress. It’s painted in black with many fine golden details, she has fantastic thigh high stocking, the curved cutout accentuates the bare area of her thighs, the gradient effect and flower ornament pattern it creates an terrific look.

She must be very self conscious to walk around in fetish gear that reveals her whole butt.
The small heart shaped cutout at the front of her string panties is sweet and sexy as well.

Mammon features one of Orchid Seed’s good old strong points, different castoff stages.

As example, you have three pieces that change Mammon’s butt decoration, one piece is supposed to be a skirt. One piece you use when her corsage is still attached and another part when Mammon is “naked”. Part of the full outfit is a collar, scarf like thing, that covers her shoulders in a fancy way. although I rather like her appearance with bare shoulders.
The choker around her neck keeps the boob baskets in place, but could also be used solitary.

One thing I find remarkable is the pose or better said situation they adapted Mammon, carrying a basket around is a rather adorable way to present a figure. The basket is empty and can be loaded with cursed vegetables, they look very detailed and incredibly spooky.

I find Mammon damn attractive as a whole figure, she’s really nicely made for a 1/8 scaled figure, there are many nice parts to look at, dressed and undressed. A polarizing aspect are probably her massive boobs, obviously they are bigger than her head, but I really like their shape with the puffy nipples, the sculptor really knows how to make attractive boobs.

Well, Mammon has a phat ass, I can’t lie about that ;D she has a precious bubble butt with bawdy dimensions. The figure has a more sturdy body and because of that her greedy sized assets don’t look too silly. I love her wide hips and also to detailed back, the relatively narrow waist gives her an attractive appearance, she’s hot and very buxom but not fat.

Well, there is also the good old color stain issue, from the soft black parts, it’s not as bad as it sounds and these spots can be cleaned easily, but it’s annoying when it happens.

It also was difficult to get Mammon on the base, two metal pegs slide into her feet, but the last 5mm were nerve wrecking. As little advice separate the upper disk from the podest, then try to put the figures feet on the pegs, then press on her shoe tips and apply some pressure from below the base at the same time. attention is needed when putting her on base.

Final Words

Mammon convinces with her beautiful face and overall presentation of an attractive demon lady, the different display options are really pleasant. Qualitywise, Orchid Seed delivers a slightly better product than Amakuni did with Leviathan. The sculpting of Mammon’s clothes and body turned really nice and clean, showing an remarkable amount of details on a 1/8 scaled figure. If you aren’t afraid of her bigger body volume this can be a wonderful figure.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures…
Is Mammon a figure you would like, or do you have a The 7 Deadly Sins figure at home?

Based on Shingeki no Bahamut, a popular smartphone and tablet Game, Max Factory manufactured Cerberus, the cute dog from hell. I love cute demon girl characters, danger mixed with some cuteness is something I really appreciate in anime media and figures.

I tried to play the Game, but after many crashes I was fed up after a few days of playing, maybe the Game was buggy or my late Xperia U couldn’t met the requirements. Nevertheless the Game has a nice concept, it is one of those card collecting things. A distinctive feature of Shingeki no Bahamut are elaborate character artworks with rich details you would not expect from a simple flash game. Especially the demon class character designs are super appealing.

Do you have a favorite character design in Shingeki no Bahamut?
There are many great designs, but I really like Lilith+, it would be great to see a figure of her.

Figure manufacturers like Kotobukiya and Amakuni already noticed the games potential and made figures of Olivia and Dark General. Olivia is the most popular figure and will be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about figures from this Shingeki no Bahamut.

Olivia and Dark General weren’t really my type, they looked a bit too serious for my taste, so I waited for Max Factories more playful figure of Cerberus.

Cerberus was sculpted by Katagiri Youhei his first scale figure to date, she is scaled 1/7 and has a height of 23,5 cm. The figure was released in late July, back then I got her for 11,130 Yen.

She comes as nearly completely assembled figure, just put her on the base and equip the dogs with their halo parts. The halo’s are made out of clear plastic, since I was scared of breaking them, I’ve put them back in the box after I’ve taken a few shots with them.

Cerberus has hand puppet like dogs as hands, she has no optional human hands, well, there is an official artwork where she has hands, but Max Factory decided against such an option.

Review

After escaping from her box, Cerberus gives her servant owner a warm welcome with her charming looks and a cheerful dance like pose she emits a certain atmosphere. Together with the very smooth skin and the shiny armor the figure has a detailed top quality appearance.

In ancient Greek mythology Cerberus is supposed to be a big dog like creature with three heads. Fortunately this Cerberus is no ugly dog, she still has the qualities of a woman. With her hand puppets she has three heads and meets the minimal requirements for a dog from hell. Her dogs look like Spitz breed, they are a comical aspect of her, they have different personalities, the left one is a rather wild puppy while the other one looks shy and meek.

Cerberus has a twintail hairstyle colrored in redish brown and with darker shading. The twintails show a great movement. The detailed and partially singled out strands look really great. At the purple tips there is a nice transparency effect. At the top of her head she has the ears of a fox spirit, the insides have a fur like texture and are painted in a light brown color.

An unique feature of her face are the triangle shaped eyes, in general  a sign of aggression.
The Iris has a pretty non human design, they give the figure a lively and mesmerizing flair.

A cool thing is, that Cerberus mood and expression seems to change depending on the viewing angle, from the left she looks charmingly evil with a great smirk, but when turned more to the right her facial expression becomes cuter or shows a nearly kind smile.

The clothes make a real eye catcher out of Cerberus, her bustier corsage combination is really pretty. Colored in metallic purple with elaborate golden ornaments in a surprisingly detailed fashion, also the paint has been applied very clean without sloppy over painting issues.

The metallic bikini panties are sweet. Also her outfit which is supposed to be armor is actually more related to fancy lingerie, only the armor at her arms leaves a heavy impression. At her legs she is wearing some interesting stockings over her shiny, purple high heels boots.

Cerberus actually has no tail, instead there is a veil surfacing at the back of her corsage, which maybe is something close to a tail, however it has a nice, brown to orange gradient effect and gives her a more dynamic appearance in combination with her hair.

The figure has an appealing design and very attractive body sculpting, with her proportions Cerberus is really my type of girl, even when actually I’m not so specified about these things, especially not when buying figures, but when looking at her I’m really happy ^^.  She’s petite and very feminine in her appearance. Cerberus has a slim waist and sexy hips. As person she is not too tall, her legs have a very appealing length with lovely meaty thighs and a cute butt.

Well, her body sculpting is really great, be it the very well defined collarbones or her pushed up boobs. Also the smooth, slightly muscular belly should be taken into account. From the backside you can also admire her lovely shoulder blades and the previously mentioned butt.

Final Words

Yeah, time to put together my thoughts abut Max Factory’s Cerberus. I think that I am really satisfied with how the final figure turned out. I was really looking forward to the day of her release, I couldn’t get her fast enough. The figure has a charming face with great eyes and appealing expression. Her outfit is beautiful, really detailed and compliments her attractive body very well. The sculptor did a fantastic job in bringing sex appeal and playfulness together in this figure of Cerberus. The beautiful demon girl theme has been done in a convincing way.

There are a lot of positive things to say about Cerberus sama, but one thing that bothers me a bit are the Halo connectors. I’d feel more comfortable when they have been made of metal, I really wouldn’t feel confident to put her on the shelf with the halo’s attached, sooner or later these clear plastic connectors are bound to snap, especially with my luck with such things.

Max Factory proved again that they are a top tier manufacturer, their figures have an outstanding level of craftsmanship and Cerberus is another great example of this.

I hope you enjoyed her review, maybe you have also ordered her?
