Hey Yo! Whazzup people MC Irma in da house. It felt like forever but in 2013 Irma arrived with her dagger. Ah, well Irma is no hip hop idol, her occupation is Assassin, but she hides her identity with working as a cleaning lady, in fact she is known as Strongest cleaning lady on the Continent.

Queen’s Blade always has been a favorite franchise of mine, even though it has an louch unsteadiness between being borderline hentai and telling an interesting, epic story within a rather grim environment. The first two seasons + OVA’s were quite entertaining for me.

Queen’s Blade Rebellion also had a promising setting and wasn’t bad either but had a strange open end, god knows why it wasn’t already continued, I wanna see more.
Overall I really like when they focus on one of the many interesting characters within the cast.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Irma’s personality and don’t remember much about her role in the Queen’s Blade anime, it is told that she is a kind of coldhearted person, she doesn’t like to be around noisy humans, but cats are something she likes and cares for a lot.

Irma was created as part of MegaHouse’s Queen’s Blade Excellent Model line and released in the end of July 2013. The figure is the debut works of Roin, keep it up Roin youre awesome ^^. Irma is scaled 1/8 and has an overall height of 21 cm, she comes with a number of parts like two scabbards, a sword, a dagger, sword and dagger hilts to be placed in the scabbards and a torso.

Hair & Face

Irma has light blue hair with dark shading at the tips, the hairstyle is short and appears rather wild with many single strands from the back it also looks great. The head of the figure is slightly tilted downwards which makes her face a bit hidden from the left. In other cases that might be a bothering thing, but in this case it gives this figure the right appearance. Under her bangs she “hides” very expressive and detailedy eyes in a vivid pinkish tone. The cheeks underneath are slightly flushed, the mouth is desinged in a fierce way with clenched teeth and light pink lips.

The face is very detailed and not flat a all, the eyes look beautiful also the sulpted lower lip and the nose give her head a good 3 dimensional shape and a very attractive appearance.

Outfit & Body

Irma’s pose seems to capture her shortly before striking down on her opponent with her stretched leg and sword and dagger in her hands, it’s a very action orientated pose that is befitting her feline like body. In case you are curious, yes Irma stands firmly on her solid metal peg. The base isn’t the most creative one, but it’s ok not every manufacturer pays much attention to this aspect of figure manufacturing.

She is wearing a modified, skimpier version of the death squad armor, which is a lot more skin revealing. On the other hand it looks really cool and  badass. The outfit consists of many layers and fine details that makes it interesting to inspect the figure more thoroughly. The wrinkles or the red and golden lines, it’s a quite spectacular design. Irma must be an eccentric assassin.

The black vest with the high collar has a nice leather texture, there a  golden rims and a little fur above the shoulders. The top is short and stretchy, it barely covers Irma’s boobs halfway. MegaHouse isn’t shy about accentuating pointy nipples under the top. Around her hips she has a broad belt like piece of cloth which doesn’t cover her light grey, high cut thong very much.

Mainly used colors of her outfit are anthracite, black, red and gold, but there is even more interesting things about her, like the half sleeves and gloves, the tough combat stockings or also these bossy black high heel boots. Optionally she can be equipped with a dagger and/or the slightly larger sword. The scabbards can be placed in smalls holes at her belt and thighs.

The chocolate brown skin color has an exotic flair, since such figures are more than rare and of course this tan suits Irma perfectly, the shading here and there increases her attractivity points.

While the majority of Queen’s Blade characters is buxom, Irma is the most slender, mature character among them. She is rather petite in an athletic way, but she also has a decent bust.
I would say she is a great example for being slim and sexy. Nevertheless Irma is carrying a rather meaty butt around when you compare it with the rest of her body, it’s really nice actually.

Cast off

Like most Queen’s Blade figures, Irma is castoff able and it works in the same way as the previously reviewed Chouhi, she has a semi nude torso than can easily be exchanged with the other one. It’s a seamless procedure without paint transfer or other dangers as abrasion marks.

So when her clothes are gone, the remarkable body sculpting of Irma comes to light, there are so many nice aspects of her body that itfeels to stupid to mention everything; there are these nicely rounded shoulders, collarbones, firm breast with cute pointy nipples and also well defined abs. The figure also shows a beautiful backside with lovely shoulderblades and firm round butt.

Final Words

Irma didn’t receive much love or attention from figure manufacturers before, it seemed rather unrealistic to believe a figure of her would ever be made, but MegaHouse created one and let me say it is a really great figure of her. I also think  that she is one of the best Queen’s Blade figures that were created by MegaHouse so far. She has the face, the body, the outfit, the pose and the quality for deserving to be considered a really great figure. Again I took too many pictures ;D

Ey, ey oh! whats up people

Here we have a new Preorder Post with a few new purchases and many other alluring figures where a decision hasn’t been made so far.

There also was a delay for the Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA – Prisma Illya figure from Phat Company, that should actually be released in this month, unfortunately she was pushed back to April, which already is a quite busy month. I will also receive the Azusa doll in April, I’m still searching for a fancy outfit for her, even though the stuff she comes with is already pretty nice.

 New Preorders

I restricted myself a little bit, at least for once and also tried to prevent myself from loading too many figure preorders in the first half of the year, since I know what great things can be expected to be released in this year. Hmm yes these three are mainly sexy choices.

Katsuragi – Senran Kagura – Phat Company

After all the good impressions of Phat Company’s Hibari, this was a nearly no brainer for me. Even though the still running anime didn’t met my expectations, I still think that the girls are cute and have an appealing characterdesign. Katsuragi is quite creepy as a person you wouldn’t see that from her look, but anyway as energetic blonde with a bright smile and big boobs I want her in my collection. Next to Hibari’s design I like Katsuragi the most with her blue skirt and the  killer boots. As well as Hibari, Katsuragi is also scaled 1/8 the release is sheduled for August 2013

Sayaka Yumi – Shin Mazinger Zero – Ami Ami Zero

This figure has been a bit longer on my radar, I was captivated by the design and the lovely curves of Yumi. Her suit and the base have a sci fi fetish look, the base looks like a sex toy, but from what I know about Mazinger Zero it is none, it’ more something like a command center.

I was a big fan of Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen which aired a few years ago. This figure of Yumi isn’t based on it, at least not in that outfit. I like the skin revealing outfit and her face, Yumi’s looks so damn great, well I also like that she features the style of old school manga very well. The figure is scaled 1/7 and has a length of 260 mm, in the final product, she will have alternative face parts. The figure is very detailed and for some reason her discounted price is relatively high with 9500 Yen, oh well I had ordered her for a higher price, thanks exchange rate.

Ami Ami Zero is popular for delaying their products, hopefully this figure will be more or less on time, she is sheduled for June 2013 *fingers crossed* kyahh I’m really excited about her.

Irma – Queen’s Blade – MegaHouse

 Hmm why the heck, have I ordered Irma actually!? You can only guess why Megahouse made a figure from the original Queen’s Blade at this this time, it seems that Tier from Tentacle Armada wasn’t the only one who wished for a figure of Irma, since the feedback was quite positive.

Wll, there are certain things that make this figure that appealing, Irma has an attractive petite bodyframe, still in a trained way, but she’s more slender than most Queen’s Blade characters. She also has this super dynamic pose and also a lot of details are on her body and outfit.

I really like her look, the body with the perky breasts, a nice back and a bubble butt compared to her body. Her dark skincolor makes a great contrast to her hair, actually. I would have sightly preferred a different face expression, but oh well the overall appearance is very good.

Irma is scaled 1/8, castoffable and her release date is sheduled for July 2013.

Maybe Baby List

Touko Aozaki – Mahoutsukai no Yoru – ALTER

release – July

Sometimes you will get overly excited about a certain figure that you’ve seen in an early production status, only to feel dissapointed when it can finally be preorderd. I think her dress turned out beautiful, the green is gorgeous, but whats with the face, it looks so plain, pale and undetailed, at least in these first promotion shots. I don’t feel like throwing my money torwards her in advance anymore. Maybe I will be convinced another time,but not for once.

Yuki – Maid Yome – Orchid Seed

release – September

This ero figure is very popular at the moment and Im starting to fear that she will be sold out before release, which happens not that often with figures from Orchid Seed. Yuki is a bold figue without pantsu and have you noticed where her fingers are? actually I didn’t pay attention to it at first. Hehe, it should be fine when displayed normally. The figure looks very pretty, I like the flushred cheeks and her cute moaning mouth. You can display her with the “wet t-shirt” look with her boobs exposed or just admire her plump butt. So far I could resist preordering her, since I’ve planned to get her at a later date, but Im not sure how long this composure will last.

Nymph – Sora no Otoshimono forte – PLUM

release – April

Nymph seems to be the most popular Sora no Otoshimono character at least on the manufacurers side, Kotobukiya already made a second one as well as PLUM, which can be seen here. They’ve put her into a innocent white school swimsuit, that compliments her butt nicely. The 1/6 scaled figure of Nymph has a cute energetic pose, her face doesn’t look like exactly like in the illustration she is based on, beside that it appears like an adorable figure. In worst case just display her from the enchanting backside ;p As I was checking on her at Ami Ami, the site said it’s sold out. I’ve waited too long! but maybe I’m able to get her on or after the release date.

Hibiki Ganaha – THE IDOLM@STER – Kotobukiya

release – April

Kotobukiya is pretty serious in adapting the Idolm@ster characters in the Angelic Island versions, where they put the girls in beach fashion. I already found the majority of them pretty adorable like Haruka, Makoto and Yayoi even though I haven’t bouth them in the end. Hibiki is no exception in terms of cute bishoujo appeal, her face is very pretty and her fang adds a little more playfulness. I’m also a fan of dark hair and the kind of earings, Hibiki is using, lovely ^^.

Rumi Sumida – Gutto-kuru Figure Collection Sweet 02 – CM’s Corporation

release – May

That face expression is priceless and let’s this figure appear super adorable, I really like the lovely expression and interesting pose of this figure. Also her school uniform is appealing, I like the colors, the stockings and her sneakers. The only problem is that I have no experience and no trust in CM. I have serious doubts, that they will deliver a quality that satisfies me and with that in mind she is a few thousand Yen too expensive, still I would like to have her in my collection, since she looks so appealing in these promotional pictures. On second look her butt could be a bit bigger, but that is my least important concern and something I could live with.
