Naoe Kanetsugu – Hyakka Ryoran by ALTER
It’s Hammer time! The warrior of love, Naoe Kanetsugu makes her appearance.
Today I can present you my review of ALTER‘s latest figure from the Hyakka Ryouran lineup. There already have been a few reviews of her, but it would be nice if you would read mine as well.
Naoe Kanetsugu is scaled 1/8 and has a height of 225 mm including the height of her hammer. She was sculpted by Makio Munetoshi who mainly works for ALTER and Kotobukiya as well.

Shinobu – Bakemonogatari by GSC
Today I will talk about Shinobu from Good Smile Company, as you might know she is based on the Bakemonogatari anime/light novel , imagine some people still haven’t watched it, how weird ;p
Bakemonogatari was well received by the audience and manufacturer Good Smile Company,
turned all of the 6 heroines of the show into 1/8 scaled figures, they were all based on the Blu Ray/DVD front cover illustrations. Other Companies like Kotobukiya or ALTER also made nice figures of that franchise, but from my impression Good Smile Company offered the better looking figures, overall. I was tempted to buy the figure of Kanbaru, but I was doomed by the sold out tag, actually I wanted to wait for a price discount. Unfortunately that never happened.
A few more month ago a prototype of Shinobu was shown at Wonderfestival. I really liked the cute appearance of her sitting on a donut pile with a vintage motorcycle helmet. So I waited for preorders being opened, her price was quite good and I better not wait for the sold out tag again.

Kaminagi Ryoko ~Resurrection~ by ALTER
Hi fans, today I’ll present you a new figure review.
Its been a few figures since I reviewed a figure of them, so lets give a warm welcome to ALTER’s Kaminagi Ryoko, as I saw the figure for the first time I thought she was boring, but at least I got interested in her origin Zegapain and after watching it I actually fell in love with her character. Zegapain is from the year 2006 and was made by Studio Sunrise, who are well known for their mecha related anime, like Gundam. Zegapain has a different feel to it than their usual kind of show, since it’s more focused on the characters and their emotions than the mecha fights. In case you are more interested in the Zegapain anime you can check out my review 
Ryoko is a childhood friend archetype character. But nevertheless she is one of the more interesting childhood friends, she is not very hot in terms of looks, but she has an enchanting kind and upbeat personality, her voice actress Hanazawa Kana also gave her a very fitting voice.
Im hard to please when it comes to figures from my favorite anime characters, Im already that picky that if at all I only own very few figures of my favorite anime girls 
anyway ALTER’s attempt of Kaminagi Ryoko convinced me very quick and the pre-order was set in stone.

Hatsune Miku – lat type version by GSC
Hello everyone, this review is about the Hatsune Miku – lat type version figure from GSC.
I think I don’t need to explain it, you all know who Hatsune Miku is and what kind of music
she makes. But what is Lat anyway? What differs this lat version from the normal Miku is
the rounder and cute face, the glasses and the school uniform like outfit that she is wearing.
So far I wasn’t affected by the Miku Vocaloid hype at all. Well, I like the character design,
but in fact I don’t really like the squeaky synthetic voice in most of her uncountable videos.
Nevertheless I will present you a few videos which I found quite enjoyable, the last one rocks

Taiga – Tiger Costume version by Ques q
Hi my friendly readers after the voluptuos Menace which might have shocked a few of you XD Today I can show you a certain petite cutie, called Aisaka Taiga who you might remember as the main character in the popular lovecom anime Toradora which aired from autumm 2008 to 2009.
Taiga is a 16 year old high school girl, she is small and has a rather undeveloped body, by her classmates and the whole school she is nicknamed “palmtop tiger”. Taiga lives alone in an expensive appartment because her family situation is not very good. She developed an angry, bad mooded attitude, is easily offended by others and often reacts in a very violent way.
After she met the new transfer student Ryuuji her life slowly begins to change…
I like Taiga, but actually I never was such a big fan of her, that I really wanted to have a figure of her, but some month ago Ques q announced that they have a Taiga figure up their sleeve, which was loosely based on the illustration under that line, NYAH! or ROAR! ?

Review Melissa Seraphy from GSC
Hi mina-san today I will show you a review about a figure which I was searching for a long time. As I started with collecting figures my sources for figure related news were very limited and so it was no surprise that some nice figures slipped under my radar. After some time I was able to find more sites with figure related news and data, like nekomagic and myfigurinecollection.
Often old figures turn out as hard to get especially when you are very interested in them, well you sometimes find these coveted figures for crazy prices at ebay, or if you are lucky you can get them for reasonable and even cheap prices. The sale feature at myfigurinecollection.com is also a good place to aquire rare and older figures. Luckily so I was able to get nearly every old figure I wanted, like Alter’s Reinforce II, Alter’s Al Azif and last month I was finally able to get the lovely Melissa Seraphy from GoodSmileCompany which I always wanted to have in my collection.

Buddy by ALTER
Hi people after a break of nearly two weeks Im back with a new figure named Buddy on review.
Buddy is a 1/8 scaled figure manufactured by ALTER, released in November 2010. The origin of Buddy is a visual novel and a 3D rpg game called “VOICE FROM HAR MEGIDDO” developed by Leaf and published by Aquaplus for the PC in 2008.
Surprisingly Buddy is one of the bad guys in this game, she is described as a timid and emotionless person. In the game she is teamed up with a guy named Swen whose commands she obeys unconditionally. Judging from my little research in gameplay videos and CG pictures Buddy isn’t that bad at all, she just met the wrong persons in life. Later she even helps the good party members, after they treated her in a friendly manner. Continue reading

Takamachi Nanoha – everyday wear by Kotobukiya
Hi Mina san, today I will write about the cute Takamachi Nanoha – everyday wear version which arrived last week. As this figure was announced my reaction was quite intense I was like “AHH, HOW CUTE!” “KAWAII!” “DO WANT!” in summary I totally freaked out in this moment XD
Lately cute figures really became my weakness, you could say that they are my kryptonite.
After I regained my consciousness I waited well-behaved for the opening of the preorders.
Without giving it a second thought I just ordered my Nanoha figure. I haven’t bought any figures of Nanoha so far, but I found this casual cloth version of her pretty appealing.
Her Origin is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st the latest project of the Continue reading

Mayoi Hachikuji is a character from the popular anime Bakemonogatari and in my humble opinion an awesome anime from SHAFT which I already watched two times, believe me its great.

Review: UJ – 14 by Beagle
Today I’ll show you a some kind “historical” review of my very first figure. It was back in time when I was searching for Gundam model kit tutorials, then I noticed that there were also other nice things on his site, it was the first time that PVC figures ever met my eye and they instantly catched my interest. A few weeks later I stumbled over a link which lead to a review of the figure UJ-14 at Happysoda. I wasn’t to sure about getting a figure for myself but after looking at UJ-14
I knew that I wanted this figure. At that time I also didn’t know where to get these figures, so Google was my friend and luckily I found her for a very fair price at an US online store.
