Hey, I am all for a rash of Manabi Straight figures hitting the market, but this seems odd. Following the GSC announcement of an actually good one yesterday, Toys Works has announced a Manabi and Mikan pair that… well.. fail to impress. The outfit looks fine, but that’s about the end of the compliments I have for it. Mikan-chan’s head is oddly shaped and they’re not getting extra points from me for the attempt at the nya-lip action. Worst of all, I think, is the ham fisted Manabi. She lacks all of the character and energy of her on-screen (in whatever format) counter part and it’s just not cool. On the plus, they are wearing sukumizu under the skirts, and they come in two colors, the blue linked above and the white linked right here. Both sets will be out in May for 5,800 yan and stand 135mm tall.
Six shots up after the jump. Isn’t it exciting? MASSUGU GO!!!@!@!

Well, not bad but… GSC over this definitely. If it would be cheaper (stingy lmao), say like 4k yen, then it's worth for consideration. Also my wish & expectations for "pair-figures" goes pretty much wasted on this. 135mm, generic (even if solid) look. 5,8k is way too much.

At that price its not worth. I'll be dropping money on the GSC Manabi as soon as HLJ puts up for pre-order.
