Beautiful! But will we get Urd and Skuld?

And while Belldandy looks great I would love to get new versions of the goddesses with their guardian angels.

There wasn't any mention of Urd and Skuld on Hobby Max Japan website. It's just Belldandy for now.

Here are my non-Macross anime figures :)

52144943095_b3494d6a04_b.jpg

This is a Heartfull Memories Little Witch Parfait figure. I have absolutely no idea what the franchise she is from is like. It could be naughty for all I know, so maybe don't google it :D I don't want to know. But I saw this figure online a decade ago, and I finally got her this year. She's so cute!

This is Haruka Suzumiya from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, also known as Rumbling Hearts. I got the complete anime series on DVD years ago, and I thought Haruka was a very sweet girl though she was sad through much of the series. This figure captures her as she would be in her happier more grown up future, if I remember correctly. I love the details in this figure and even in the stand. I was always mesmerized by how her bikini bottoms disappear between her thigh and her abdomen. It made her body a little more substantial than simply looking nice in a bikini. And look at that base! It's an intricate base made to look like sand, and it has spots specifically for her legs and even her fingers to settle. This is one stand that lived up to the promo pictures. She also had a friend that had a similar playful bikini figure released. I hope I get her one day because I want to reunite the two friends. I've had Haruka for probably over 10 years. It's time for them to meet again.

This is the final Mon-sieur Bome figure. She's an original character named Akira. I don't believe she ever appeared in any anime or manga. I thought she was very cute. I love all the strands and curls in her hair, her frilly outfit, and all of the bows on her! I got her in early 2008 at Zapp! Comics and Cards in the Freehold Raceway Mall. (They've since moved to a strip mall in Manalapan.) Being that this is the US market version of this figure, she has no castoff feature,but I don't think she needs it. She's more sweet than sexy, and I like her the way she is. (Please forgive some of the dust. It's difficult to clean in some of the bow creases, and I misplaced my feather duster.)

Kasumi here is another Mon-sieur Bome figure. These Bome figures were known for being high quality figures at lower prices. They delivered on the promise, but it's impressive just how well they delivered with this figure of Kasumi from the Dead or Alive video game series. I believe this figure is most based on her Dead or Alive 3 appearance considering when I think this figure originally came out, though her Dead or Alive 4 appearance was pretty much the same. It contains the design on her... dress? Kimono? What exactly is she wearing anyway? Well, 14 year old me didn't care about that when playing Dead or Alive 2 on my Dreamcast :D She was my video game waifu :D Anyway, she's very nicely sculpted in this figure. Her face is perhaps a little more cutesy than she ever appeared in the games, but that's not a problem at all. Kasumi was always cute. I love the sculpting on her right leg. It was very lovingly sculpted. I also got a bootleg version of this figure's white outfit version back in 2008 or 2009 at a short lived anime store called D2Tau Asia in the Route 18 Market in East Brunswick, NJ, but don't go looking for that place because they sold the land to Wal-Mart over 10 years ago.

This is Hazumu! She's a character from the manga and anime series Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl. Hazumu was a girlish boy who was loving life until he was rejected by the girl he loved. He went running off into the countryside where an alien spaceship fell on him and critically wounded him. The alien in the spaceship was able to resurrect him, but he accidentally rebuilt Hazumu as a girl. Only then did madness ensue :D I loved this manga and anime so much when I was in college. I would reread the available volumes of the manga over and over again between classes. This figure is based on when the girls went to the beach. What can I say about her? She's cute as a button, has an amazingly sculpted body, and the bikini is 100% faithful to the art in the manga! She also came with a pair of sandals that I never liked on her, but they were decent for 1/6 scale dolls like Momoko. I just love this cute little Hazumu so much ❤️ She was actually my very first anime figure, too.

Finally, this is my newest figure. I just got her today. She's Silfietta Luashia from Meishoku no Reiki. Like Little Witch Parfait, I have absolutely no idea what the franchise she's from is like, but I'd venture to say that this franchise is less safe to google than Parfait's franchise :D She's a much older figure, but I got a great deal on a new old stock one that had a less than perfect box. I can live with the box being messed up if the figure is in good condition, and she is in very good condition. The biggest concern I have right now is how her feet settle into the pegs on the stand. I only have one foot pegged. I think she would actually be more stable and would make the one chain on her left wrist settle better if I were to get her other foot on the other peg. I'll have to see how far I'm able to bend her legs to try to get both feet pegged. In the meantime, she's okay right now. And... Yeah. She's kind of a sexy prisoner elf girl. I have no defense :D I've always admired her, though. She has a stunning body with long, long legs, and she even has an amazing hairdo. Her top is semi-transparent in spots, though it's opaque in the necessary parts. The opaqueness is a good thing if you've got company because the top is castoffable, and there are things worth hiding :D I have spared the audience those photos from this topic. I figure the pillars with the chains and her tushie showing are already more than enough. But seriously, she's an amazing figure that's actually a great 1/6 scale.

Use a hair dryer to heat the figure's legs.  Whether it's vinyl, resin or PVC plastic, heat will make the limbs more pliable, and you'll find it easier to reposition the foot enough to peg it securely into the stand.

Thanks! I actually already got her legs positioned properly. I copied and pasted a bunch from another forum, and I forgot it was my first post on the subject before I settled her feet into the pegs.

It is just a female version of Terry Bogart. 
It is probably an entry in their Bishoujo line which translates to ‚beautiful girl‘.

He gets magically girlified in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy. He's not happy about it.

My bad, I have trouble reading expressions. I thought she looked quite happy.

[edit:] I didn’t parsed your response properly. Disregard my comment.

I'm confident enough in my masculinity to say that I'm happy about it :D

Love the sculpt, but where’s the camo paint on her thighs?

Posted

Very nice sculpt on Cammy, and even the earlier Chun Li they showed. I'm tempted but the promo pics for Pop-Up Parades always seem to show far more skin shading than they actually do, either via editing or lighting trickery. The actual figures almost always have next to no skin shading, somewhat like prize figures.

Posted

I don’t know about the sculpt of that Cammy figure. Her bangs just don’t look right to me and something is off with the face sculpt.

The above Nausica figures are available at bbts. There’s definitely a markup by a bit, but factoring in recent shipping they’re not as bad as I thought they’d be. Not absolutely sure it’s worth the price or not

I wonder why no sculptor is able to capture Abedo‘s craziness? Sexy is all they are capable of it seems.
