Talk about a big day for figures. I’ve got a laundry list of figures here that you NEED to see covering the big three for April, and even one standout from Solid Theater that deserves to be in here too. A forewarning to dialup people… there will be a FUCK NUT of pictures after the jump, so be prepared. Let’s get started. We’ll be going in order Alter, GSC, and then Max, and then the one Solid Theater piece.
Alter’s offering for this announcement set only consists of a single figure, but it’s a good one. It’s a 1/8 scale 170mm tall Revy figure. She’s sporting and awesome bent knee, gunslinging pose and comes with two faces; one with a cigarette and one without. She’s an extremely dynamic figure to add to any fans collection and she looks good with both faces on. As much as smokingi s lame, she looks awesome with the cigarette going on. 4,800 yen will get her in on your shelf.
GSC is coming strong with a pair of really nice looking eroge based figures. First up is Akihime Sumomo from the ever visually stunning Nanatsuiro*Drops. She is also 1/8 scale and stands a full 200mm tall. She’s holding that damned goat, though. Damn that lucky goat. The pose is pretty generic, but it’s ok because it’s Sumomo. IT’S OK! Also 4,800 yen.
Second, we have Shingyouji Mao from Boy Meets Girl. I do believe she showed up at GSC’s WanFesu Summer showing earlier this year. Just for fun, I’d like to describe her as a purple haired Asa from Shuffle! The long haired one from after she almost dies. Yep. Anyway, she’s also 1/8 scale and stands 210mm tall. But she is a one-legged figure, so keep that in mind. She looks pretty well balanced though. Yet another 4,800 yen lady.
Moving on to Max Factory, they are coming out with their second Magipoka figure and this time it’s PACHIRA! Yes, the painted sexiness is out and sexy. Pachira is a sexy 1/7 scale and she stands an also sexual 240mm tall up against an unsexual coffin-out line thing. An awesome prop though. She looks a bit shiny, but I’d like to see how that goes under other lighting… you know… like my own lighting. She's out in the afore mentioned month for 5,500 yen.
For these last two we will be moving into 1/10 scale territory… first from Sakura Taisen is, well, Sakura. She's well details for a 1/10 scale character, as you would expect from Max Factory, but I get the feeling this one will end up in obscurity. Sakura and her outfit are well modelled and true to form, but the sword seems to lack the detail you would hope to see in a larger figure. She's out in April for 3,990. I guess you can't do EVERYTHING right on a 1/10 scale character.
Unless you're Solid Theater and you're 1/10 scale figure is Kaze no Ayumu Mono from Jingai Makyou. Oh man, she is pulling her pants off. Oh man, this is one sexy piece of polyvinyl. I'm sorry, Max Factory, but they beat the hell out of you in the 1/10 scale battle of April 2007. She's 135mm tall and will run you 4,500 yen… but she is so worth it.
That's it for this announcement. There was one other figure from Wave, but I'm just skipping it. If you want to see it, then go die. Hit the jump for the shits from all these figures in a nice orderly, in order, column. It's going to be a lot. An awesome lot.

Pachira looks awesome but the pose is a little boring
Unlike the figure from Ass Cheek Parade! (I should really read the full post for details I guess)
And I've been waiting for ages for a Rebby figure.. although something looks off and I can't put my finger on it.. she needs more face contortion maybe?

Well the "without cigarette" looks fine and all but when I look at the cigarette version my brain distorts the image and the face looks like some oddball male-face from old spaghetti western movie. Weird stuff, but aren't we all >_>
And that Solid Theater one, so awesome I'm going blind. Definite get!

It's not like I don't know where to order figures… I just need the money for it. :D
And don't worry about me not talking on AIM… I barely have been getting a chance to put down comments like this. Once Christmas is over I should have a chance to sit down and have convos with people on AIM again. oO;

Lemme guess, a RSS aggregator?
December 29th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
No. That wouldn't have taken me an entire week to code. More like 10 minutes. Plus, there are already a ton of RSS aggregators, so BOOOO.

Me likey all round! Sakura looks like she's standing on a cookie but props for trying to give us more than a generic black base.
