ANIME Figures and Statues

Ques Q. that expression is priceless.

i'm surprised the other one is a GSC. it looks so uninspired, and the machinery seems like an after thought rather than integrated with the design.

yeah, I'm getting it, she has really nice curves and body lines, but the face is just so adorable and perfect, and so are the faces on the Rensouhou-chans. You make the other one sound like a Megahouse release. For the longest time I could never explain what I didn't like about megahouse but I finally get it. 90% of their releases look like they were sculpted and painted by robots, really skillful robots that do crisp sculpts and high quality paint jobs, but robots that lack the ability to translate emotion and liveliness into their figures.

Is it just me or are figures just getting more 'ero' by the day? not that I mind of course.

It's what sells. When I first got into figures, there where certainly a lot fewer sexy figures and the degree of explicitness you saw in "ero" figures was a lot lower, but even then the stuff that was the most popular and demanded the most money were always the most sexy and explicit. It only makes sense that makers are pumping out more of what people are buying up the most.

you know, I get it when manufacturers make multiple versions of the same character all at once, because certain characters will periodically get hot all of a sudden and there will be plenty of room to fill with different sculpts. What I will never be able to wrap my head around is when two figure makers do two figures of the same character IN THE EXACT SAME OUTFIT AND POSE.

So Max factory announced a damaged Kongo, then immediately after, Movic announces THE EXACT SAME FIGURE. Same character, same pose, same facial expression, just about the same price tag; the only differences appear to be that the Movic version is slightly larger and while the Max Factory one looks absolutely gorgeous, the Movic version looks like a figure released 5 years ago when it still would have looked poorly painted and sculpted.

What is this I don't even... :wacko:

I think there's just more castoff-enabled figures now than prolly a couple of years ago.

Also, better finished sculpts of various old and new characters nowadays, so the "ero" style these days are more interesting.

btw, just got this Ryofu yesterday and still have no area to place her, yet. Couldn't resist coz only 3400y or so for a new figure with just minorly-dinged box.

At any rate, is/was there a damaged or suke-suke damaged version of this figure? Both Kanu and Ryomou have multiple non-damaged/damaged/suke-suke damaged versions of the china-dress theme, but Ryofu and Choun only seems to have the regular non-damaged version at Ami.

that's actually really adorable. I love how the Rensouhou-chans are the other girls.

anyways, here's a clever solution for how to deal with a collection of porno figures when you have guests over.

Oh Yamato-chan, why must you be so beautiful, and expensive... :( :( :(

11,000 yen for the basic version:

and 18,333 for the heavy weapons version:

I kind of want the DX version, but it's so expensive, and you can better appreciate how perfect she is without the ship parts and water effect. but those guns... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

If it were in stock, you could pick up the basic version girl and the space-version ship for about the same price as the DX!

listing just went up, got the light version because it went up first... april 2015... :(

The heavy armament version is apparently a GSC web store exclusive.
