Does anyone here do anything with the Bemani series other than that DDR bullshit? I mean, Guitar Freaks and Drum Mania are the two best music games on the market. Also, I sick of Harmonix blatantly ripping Konami off there. Anyway, play those games. And Beat Mania. And I suggest you take a gander at how Konami fails to deliver on the prototype sculpt for Iroha from beatmaniaIIDX. If you compare it to the original art, which will also appear after the jump, it's really just depressing. Is the figure sexy from the neck down? Sure, just don't look at the hands (and I'm not the only one to notice this), but really, it falls short of the mark. Still, they need 2,500 preorders by June 17th or the whole thing gets scrapped. Otherwise, it's out on October 27th for 4,935 yen. Oh, and she's 1/8 scale and stands 200mm tall.
A single shot after the jump, with the production art to compare. Also, god damn Shingo for living in Japan. The time difference makes me look like an ass when I post stuff like this. DAMN YOUUU, SHINGO!!!!!

They did a good job on the clothes; all the details and folds are nicely replicated. But they really lost the attitude in her face, and there's nothing of the slightly coy, mischievous smile in the original art.
Also, her boobs look wrong. They look, well, too even. Don't people realise that breasts move up when you lift your arms? (Muscles being attached to each other and all that jazz) Unless it's just from this angle, but it looks like they got it wrong. If anything, the one on the right looks lower when it should be higher than the left.

The clothes design are awesome but the face cannot make it. Too weird imo. Not on my "to buy" list.

Same here, clothes and stuff are awesome but the hands and face look pretty bad.

my question is:
What character is the girl on the top right corner of the post? That CAN't be the same character as that toilet-paper wielding bunny thing, can it?

INDEED IT IS HER!

Here's a link to a fansite of hers. Though it's not a well put together fansite
