Anime Model Kits, Goods and Figures

[RyougaZell]

I want to get this. <3 <Boa Hancock attached pictures>

I should take new pictures of my collection one of this days.
That particular Boa Hancock is on my shelf alongside Crocodile, Kuma and Mihawk

I'm kind of ambivalent toward the Nadeko figure. If I was going to get a Bakemonogatari figurine, it would probably be of her, but the set with lower-legs missing looks so weird. I know you can use both, and it's supposed to mirror the cover of one of the novels or something, but it looks more like she is going through a portal rather than standing knee-deep in water.

I get that feeling too, and it's a shame since I really prefer that version over the full-body one. The tree in the background has much more detail in that position. :S

Nice find too, I'll put myself on that site

[Illrenmazou]

I can't wait to get my hands on this baby:


Haruhi Ver. Ka (no, I'm not kidding):

[Marik]

So cute <3. The picture with the Kuroko wave ver. made me lol.

Misaka Mikoto Wave Ver.

[MFauli]

lol, at first i wanted to post "okay, I take it, you all live far away from home, eh?" :P
But then I wanted to ask: Are there any such high quality figures for Haruno Sakura from Naruto? I actually have one from many years ago, but its not too great.

I can't ever remember seeing any Sakura figures.

edit: found some, but they're long sold out.. weren't that high quality neither.


edit2: and riding the F/SN wave comes...

I got Velvet from Odin Sphere in the mail today! Looks much better in person, but too lazy to dig out my camera.

[Buffalobiian]

Been meaning to make a post for a while now, but never got around to it (and hence it's not really news anymore).

Some goodies have come out in the meanwhile, including:



Tohsaka Rin UBW Ver. (It's a wonder why I never preordered her)


Some GWers may know of Yurippe and Tenshi from Angel Beats (here produced by Good Smile Company, like the above Rin figure.)





Not sure if it's just me. Thought their facial expressions were a bit off.


What I did preorder were these Katanagatari Nendoroids.



Togame is able to be modified with shorter hair, but the piece that it comes with doesn't look as good as in the anime. It looks less natural and too "hacked of" straight across [spoiler](even if that's what really happened).[/spoiler]


Special Shinta Service: Kuroneko nendoroid was also released.






Kotobukiya's Maxima and Kureha from Shining Wind were recently available/restocked. (Never played the game, but posted because they looked nice).





I'm of the general opinion that Kotobukiya comes up with awesome sculpts/poses. Their paint application reliability has let them down in the past though, so it'll be interesting to see how they're going now.




Blowing all of these out of the water though, is Alter's rendition of Dizzy from Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. It's like.. perfect.

[RyougaZell]

I had that Rin pre-ordered but decided to cancel her.

[Ryllharu]

I pre-ordered Dizzy almost immediately upon seeing it two weeks ago. It's fantastic, plus I'm a huge Dizzy fan to begin with.

[Dark Dragon]

I just pre-ordered these.

Gundam Unicorn "Destroy Mode"



Kamen Rider Skull

[shinta|hikari]

OMG@Kuroneko.

I pre-ordered Dizzy almost immediately upon seeing it two weeks ago. It's fantastic, plus I'm a huge Dizzy fan to begin with.

I'm torn between whether to order it or not out of sheer awesomeness (since I know nothing about GG or Dizzy).

[Ryllharu]

You were right the first time. It's as close to perfection as you can get without the the rotating ring around her. Necro and Undine (her wings) are dead on.

It's worth getting even if you don't know anything about her. The only reasons you wouldn't is because of the price and the size (31 cm with Necro and Undine extended like that).

[RyougaZell]

That Dizzy is so damn awesome I'm considering getting her...

This baby arrived today at home:



And I got the next pre-orders open now...

February


April


May

[Buffalobiian]

I haven't been impressed with most of Wave's works, but they managed to get Ika Musume right. Her rather uncomplicated design likely works in their favour.


Hobbysearch Link.



Also, something about the name "Double Mothers" makes it so much more awesome.

[Buffalobiian]

Unboxed her and set her up today



Production shots
User shots/review

She huge. ~50cm tall with Scythe form, and heavens know how many with Glaive form.

I found 2 not little problems with mine though that aren't worth returning (and prolly won't be accepted even if I tried), but tiny imperfections in any case.

1) Fate's left side bang is a bit too high and covers her mouth when viewing from most angles. The prototype and some other shots I've seen don't seem to be that way.

2) In Glaive form, she doesn't hold the rod slightly higher than the horizontal rather than horizontal. I'm not being terribly picky here, so it's not 0.5 degrees off, but a noticeable difference. I'm not sure if it's to overcompensate (to allow for the hands to loosen a bit and let it drop to horizontal with age), but it doesn't seem that way as the hands are a pretty hard PVC as opposed to bendable rubber (like BRS's hands that you use to hold the chains). The user review above doesn't seem to have these two traits in any case.

Alter can get away with the black magic circle base this time cuz she's flying (hence she's not actually 'standing" on anything, and being on poles means we look at her more than the base), but I wish they'd stop omitting these part of their design.

In any case, there isn't too many options for where I can put her since she's so big... meh, don't care. :P



Note: take care when changing parts. I rubbed a red streak of paint onto Fate's right arm when I was changing forms. Q-tip + isopropyl alcohol did the trick, but I would advise to go gently (with both the changing and cleaning if required) as you could possibly rub the paint off the flesh paint off her arm too. I would guess it's lacquer that shouldn't be affected, but the red paint came off.. so who knows. This costs too much to take chances with.

If the Gundam Musume gets into production, I'll definitely get the Wing Ver. Ka.

Sigh. I wish it's April already.
