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

Ordered figures

Katsuragi Misato

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

release date – November – 2018

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

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

release date – October – 2018

Asuna – Undine version

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

release date – October – 2018

Ashikaga Chachamaru

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

release date – December – 2018

Nishikino Maki x Yazawa Nico – Valentine Hen version

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

release date – December – 2018

Takagi-san

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

release date – January – 2019

Sakuya – Onna Kyoushi version

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

release date – April – 2019

Asuna – Swimsuit version

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

release date – March – 2019

Sakurauchi Riko

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

release date – March – 2019

Interesting figures

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

C.C – Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

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

release date – October – 2018

Tomoe – Queen’s Blade

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

release date – December – 2018

Narberal Gamma – so bin version

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

release date – December – 2018

Kohinata Hikari

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

release date – January – 2019

Ade-sugata II

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

release date – January – 2019

Mimori Hinagiku

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

release date – April – 2019

Kaname Madoka – Magia Record Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden

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

release date – Summer – 2019

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière – Finale Wedding version

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

release date – March – 2019

Sawara Ayaka

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

release date – May – 2019

Ochi Ripca

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

release date – September – 2018

Vampire – Azur Lane

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

release date – July – 2019

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Final Words

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

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

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

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.

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.

I’m often drawn to figures in this category, they are pretty, attractive and distribute a summerly atmosphere.

My latest one is the Magic Bullets – Pin Up Girl from Kalmia Project, a figure based on the art of Sasaoka Gungu, before she was announced I already liked this sweet and especially nicely drawn illustration of her.

Her release date was in mid November 2016, my convenient excuse for reviewing her somehow late, was the slow Sal shipping, that took like 6 weeks. I liked Pin Up Girl because of her more creative, casual beach pose and tanlines, the figure is scaled 1/6, in her compact pose she measures 17 cm. She turned out nice and obviously elaborately sculpted.

She is a curvy girl with a more sturdier frame, as the tan lines indicates she might be an active swimmer. The figure has voluptuous thighs and strong looking arms. She has ample breasts as well. Overall she is very attractive and good looking. The figures hands and feet are extremely detailed, every single joint is clearly noticeable as well as the nails.

The skimpy bikini is probably not working for many sporty beach activities, but all right for relaxing at the beach.
The bikini accentuates the soft skin nicely, the triangle top covers the crucial areas and is slightly transparent without revealing too much. Nevertheless it’s a daring bikini, that tightly hugs her impressive boobs, the springy effect of her skin looks sexy. I also like the separate bikini holder straps, the distance from the body creates a nice and realistic look.

Unfortunately the ribbons at the front weren’t sculpted separately, they are part of the bikini and painted inside, on close inspection it’s slightly sloppy, although it’s just a minor thing, separate ribbons would’ve looked more airy.

The figure has beautiful dark purple hair. it is nicely sculpted with nicely separated strands and has a clean appearance, her extremely nice looking fringe shows a nicely applied reflection line that enhances the great look a bit more.

The face is compared to the illustration appears wider and the eyes slightly smaller. she also has a slightly more predator – ish gaze. Unfortunately, I’m a bit torn about the sculpting of her head, it feels like it’s limited to be pretty just from a few limited angles. Nevertheless from the right angles she looks sweet and unfolds her seductive charm.

In general bikini figures are made with an arched back, this figure though does the opposite, it does both, creating a more casual appearance and shows a belly fold, that again highlights the softly sculpted curves of her attractive body.The pose also accentuates her spine in an appealing way. The figures base is also nicely made and detailed, it’s resembling a real beach, there is a starfish and some blueish surge effect painted on it, the base looks really nice.

I also decided to get this figure because of her interesting tan lined skin. The skin color is nicely chosen, it gives the figure and exotic atmosphere, also the transition from tan to pale skin wasn’t done too sharp, it’s pleasing for the eye.

Final Words

Overall the Pin Up Girl from Kalmia Project turned out very good, she is a big figure with and interesting pose with nicely articulated limbs and joints. The figure also has a great looking curvy body, the sculptor did a great job with every area of her buxom body. Her skimpy skin revealing bikini also accentuates everything in a flattering way.

The Pin Up Girl also has very nice colors, next to her purple hair and general shading, her attractive tan lined skin is most obvious. Tan is a nice and barely used feature on a figure and a nice color palette for her was chosen.

She also comes with a very appealing base, I must have buried it under all this sand, but it’s a nice base, believe me.

One minor, although completely unimportant flaw are the front ribbons at her bikini. I’m only more upset that the face doesn’t convince me from every angle, although everything else is really nice, this bothers me.

Hey Followers, what’s up? It’s the end of November and a (probably) last time this year we will take a look at the recently announced anime and game figures that appeared at the shops, in autumn the number of appealing figures increase dramatically, so this post has many entries.

Ordered Items

Nanairo Reincarnation – Kotori Takigawa

This cute little maid in skimpy uniform really caught my interest, I just ordered her without a second thought. She has an adorable face with detailed facial features and also cute proportions with average sized boobs and soft curves all around she is a lovely figure.

manufacturer: Kalmia Project  – scale: 1/7 – release: April 2017

Super Sonico Nuresuke Satsueikai

It’s been some time since I ordered an interesting Sonico figure or saw one that wasn’t a prize figure. I’m still a Sonico fan and fortunately the figure manufacturers never get bored of. This figure wears a casual street outfit, ok she accidently was hit by water, but what would Sonico be without a bit of fanservice here and there. The figure has a nice big 1/6 scale, DRAGON Toys figures often turn out really nice and this Sonico should turn out great, as well.

manufacturer: DRAGON Toy – scale: 1/6 – release: February 2017

Peach Maid – Ami

Sorry I’m a perv (//∇//). Well, the first time I saw this maid figure at the last Wonderfestival, I already knew that I had to get her no matter what. In the first place, Ami has an amazingly nicely made face with a strong expression. On the other hand I also like all sorts of maids, even the half naked ones, I can’t deny that her ecchi bits were also a small convincing aspect.

manufacturer: Process/Native – scale: 1/7 – release: May 2017

Interesting

I haven’t ordered any of these figures yet, but I think they are very interesting and I like them. Tell me which figure you like, which not or which figure you would like to see in a review here.

Senran Kagura NewWave G Burst – Ikaruga – Circuit no Joou

Vertex announced a nice looking big scaled figure of Ikaruga in a skimpy outfit. She is one of my favorite Senran Kagura characters, she is a pretty girl and I also love long jet black hair.
The figure portrays her in a slightly bendover pose as grid girl with battle torn clothes. The characters in Senran Kagura are squishy in the right places and she is no exception. In 1/6 scale her attractive proportions are accentuated nicely, on their official blog Vertex also hinted her top is castoff able. On top of that Ikaruga also has a cute bashful smile.

manufacturer: Vertex – scale: 1/6 – release: March 2017

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Ranko Kanzaki Memories Ver.

I know someone who probably ordered this Idol figure at the speed of light ^^. I’m really convinced by ALTER’s Ranko figures, she has a cute face and wonderful red eyes.

manufacturer: Alter – scale: 1/8 – release: May 2017

Fate/EXTRA CCC – Saber Bride

I really like this figure adaption of Saber Bride a lot, judging from the promo pictures from Hobby Maxx. This Saber looks elaborately desinged with her dynamicly sculpted outfit and the pretty paintjob. I’m also enchanted by her sweet and gentle face. To get this figure with a stylish base you’ll have to buy her at shops like Big in Japan or Nippon Yasan for a little more.

manufacturer: HOBBY MAXX – scale: 1/8 – release: August 2017

Fire Emblem if – Camilla

Partially I like this figure because of her gorgeous color combination, purple, black and gold. The figure looks very pretty and somehow elegant. Her face also has a kind expression, like a lovely big sister. You know, I totally like these kind of hairstyles that keep on eye hidden.

manufacturer: Intelligent Systems – scale: 1/7 – release: September 2017

Sanfujinka Shikeishuu Byouin Jack- Asami Akabane

FREEing adapted a naughty nurse fantasy into a big 1/4 scaled figure, Asamai is a mature woman with a hot and curvy body, apparently she has really big boobs and in general her uniform is tightly fitting. As you can see her body is sculpted and painted in a quite detailed fashion. She also has a quite unique face with a lot of paint which is unusual for figures of that scale. I’m not a big fan of the long and thin nose, aside from that she looks very attractive.

manufacturer: FREEing – scale: 1/4 – release: May 2017

Love Live! School Idol Festival – Honoka Kosaka

Honoka was a bit plain for a leader personality in Love Live! nevertheless ALTER made a wonderful figure of Honoka, following the Love Live! School Idol Festival “tradition” the figure is elaborately styled and her outfit is brimming with details, it makes her something special.

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

Love Live! School Idol Festival – Kotori Minami

I was happy to hear about the re-release of this cutest Kotori figure, I kind of missed ordering her in the first round. The sheduled release it not the best timing for me though, it should be happened 6 months later. I love Kotori and this figure of her is simply amazing.

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

Dagashi Kashi – Hotaru Shidare

PULCHRA makes this creative eyecatching figure of Hotaru, chilling in a concrete tube, it looks like a promising sculpt with Hotaru looking like her anime counterpart with a nice face and a detailed outfit. I’m always very picky with figure adaptions from characters I really like, I didn’t like the Hotaru, that Max Factory showed earlier this year. This figure features one of Hotaru’s stylish outfits, I always liked the way she is dressed.

manufacturer: PULCHRA – scale: 1/7 – release: March 2017

Murakami Suigun no Yakata Original – F-ism Vol.20 F-ism Shoujo

What I really like about this figure are her faces, she actually comes with two different ones. The figure itself wears a pretty shool uniform, though for some reason she is wrapped in funny bondage ropes underneath, I’m not really a fan of it, but I could probably cut it off somehow, if I would decide to really get her. With optional parts you can make this figure more questionable, so I don’t feel too fond of this figure in the end, because it’s all too much, even though she has extremely beautiful eyes. Make a normal figure like that you demons!

manufacturer: Daiki Kogyo – scale: 1/6 – release: June 2017

Hdge technical statue No.15 GANTZ:O – Reika X Shotgun ver.

Union Creative is a more or less unkown company nevertheless they aren’t afraid of making such a challenging sculpt of Raika in a stunning and shiny black bodysuit. The face looks nicely detailed and attractive. One of the figures striking features is also this nice, plump butt.

manufacturer: Union Creative – scale: 1/7 – release: March 2017

Racing Miku 2016 Ver.

This is probably the cutest Miku figure I’ve ever seen, her face shows the sweet curiosity of a cheerful young girl. As far as it concerns me, she is also the prettiest Racing Miku, without any futuristic hullabaloo. She is sitting on a pile of tyres and has a nice and lively articulated pose. This Miku is a very appealing figure with vivid colors and an overall adorable appearance.

manufacturer: Good Smile Company – scale: 1/8 – release: August 2017

Excellent Model LIMITED – Active Raid: Liko

Liko is a kind of mascot from the Active Raid anime, I could’nt bear to watch more than 5 episodes, but it wasn’t the fault of Liko. MegaHouse turned Liko into an expressive figure, very detailed and with nice colors. I really like her pretty eyes and the nicely flowing hair.

manufacturer: MegaHouse – scale: 1/8 – release: April 2017

Oh My Goddess! – Belldandy – Me, My Girlfriend and Our Ride Ver.

I never took the chance to look at the Oh My Goddess! franchise, a few times I saw a Belldandy figure here and there. Here Belldandy  appears with a new look and artistic sculpt. Clad in a racing suit, she is a cheerful, sporty girl, sitting on a futuristic motobike like flying machine. I like it, the figure looks nicely detailed and the vehicle is extremely interesting.

manufacturer: Good Smile Company – scale: 1/8 – release: September 2017

Taimanin Yukikaze 2 – Rinko Akiyama Pole Dance Ver.

From the lewd ninja saga comes a creative pole dance figure of Rinko, she is a very pretty girl with a buxom body and a huge butt. The figure is really an ecchi gem as far as I can tell. She has an expressive face, a nicely detailed, purple bodysuit and the 1/7 scale is a nice size to show her amazingly sexy body. She also has another torso to display her with bare boobs.

manufacturer: Milestone – scale: 1/7 – release: March 2017

KING OF PRISM by Pretty Rhythm – Taiga Kougami

I like bishounen characters when they don’t look too girly or like one of these womanizer types with pointy chin. Taiga looks so cool also in this nonchalant outfit. Without knowing anything about his origin it’s a good looking figure with a really nice “bad mood” expression.

manufacturer: Flare – scale: 1/8 – release: May 2017

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk – Toudou Kirin

Ignoring the mainly disastrous second season, I liked Gakusen Toshi Asterisk quite a bit, also for it’s cute character desings. Kirin the shy girl with amazing sword skills was chosen to be the First, but hopefully not last adaption from that source. The attractive figure with it’s nice colors, especially the awesome shade of purple, portrays her serious and athletic side.

manufacturer: Aspire  – scale: 1/8 – release: June 2017

So we have reached the end of this oversized “New Preorders” post, maybe there was something interesting for you listed?, in summary the figure collecting hobby stays interesting, even with the current price level.

Next year I will post New Preorders 35, hopefully the manufacturers won’t announce more alluring figures this year…

The End
