Well, I could be negative and say that BakuTen wasn't a very good anime, but it served its purpose and brought us all a little closer together with eye candy and a story that could cure narcolepsy… well, up through episode 16 anyway. I never made it past that. I feel weak. Anyway, to make up for that short coming, Vice has announced a pair of Amy figures — a set, if you will. The shots of the figures are almost criminally low-res, but from what I can see there the carves look pretty good. The two figures sport two nice and dynamic poses. The first, dressed the same as the second minus the jacket, is covering her exposed hind-parts and doing that coy backwards look that we all love so much. The second is a more "genki" figure that shows Amy balancing playfully on one foot. It looks like she's on a pegboard base so I would expect some possibility of warpage. Both of the figures are about 200mm tall and they will be out in December for 10,080 yen.
Only one depressingly unsatisfying shot after the jump. Was that redundant?

The jacketless one is pretty fine but cmon who wants Amy? And the Vice series is expensive and not worth it.

I'm inclined to agree. No one wants Amy. Though, the jacketless one is pretty nice. But I have this rule against buying figures over 10,000 yen anyway. I mean, I might break it at some point, but it's a good rule.

We'll wise rule at that, helps keeping your account in balance, but my 1 per quarter of a year rule is something next to impossible. But oh well, can't get every good looking one. Though, 10k yen for that is certainly not worth it, maybe the ending of BakuTen left me so utterly displeased with it. And it was hell of a pain after ep16, plus in the end I was left screaming for one of the most irrational endings ever done, even when considering it was Gonzo. Really enjoyed with the thought of sacrificing BakuTen's script writer on an altar. /end-rant :>
