Well, well, well. Here we are again, old chaps. Good Smile Company has announced another month's worth of figures. Well. It announced two. So add that to anything they had and any that they might add… then there's a month's worth. Whatever, you're getting me all distracted. First up on the list is a rather shiny, but intricate, Shinku. The murderous little doll isn't really up my alley, but comes with some accessories that will makes fans enjoy her even more. My complaints on this one are few, just mostly that she is so shiny. It takes something away from her. That, and that the hair and clothing/hat are so busy that it's hard to focus on the character… you know, the focal point. Again, I think fans of Shinku will really dig this one, but people with a passing fancy would rather see her in that slip, and not so crowded with crap. She's out for 6,500 yen this February and stands 180mm tall. A bit expensive, but sort of makes sense with the mirror and the custom base.
The other announcement today was for Manaka Komaki from ToHeart2 XRATED. She is reminding me of that sort of chubby looking Mai from Mai HiME that GSC put out a while back, but I can't deny my love for thick thighed anime ladies (Oh Pani Poni, how do I love thee.) Komaki is sporting a really interesting pose, not so much for body position, but for activity. She has a hair tie in her mouth and she's in the process of combing her hair to put it up. It's a simple touch that doesn't make the figure too complex, but adds a lot of character. The eyes don't pop too much, which is good, and she just looks proper for a visual novel character. ToHeart2 fans will jump, and fans of simplistic figures might want to give a look as well. She's 180mm and will cost 4,800 yen this February.
Twelve shots of Shinku and seven of Komaki are waiting after the jump. Waahoo!
