It's Lacia from the book-turned-manga-turned-anime "Beatless".

That's her! Nothing like seeing a powerful android reduced to cooking and cleaning for some high school kid. :unknw:

My favorite episodes of TNG were of Data helping Wesley get his chores done. :lol:

It takes a brave man to admit he likes Wesley.

I don't even know who the character above is.

 

But I just pre-ordered Mai from Kinetiquettes.

Mai Shiranui from SNK’s King of Fighters and Fatal Fury arcade fighting games. 

Posted

speaking of preorders, I recently put in for Hobby Japan's Big stick. I'm trying as hard as I can not to think about how stupid expensive she is and focusing on having my majestic 'merica boat-waifu to go with my glorious nippon boat-waifu.

I'm also trying to decide on this sonico. On the one hand I absolutely don't need another sonico figure in my life; but on the other hand she's so big and THICC.

I know, I just edited the post for clarity. I meant that I didn't know the character above with the monoliths. I wouldn't drop that much on Mai or any other figure without knowing who she is. Plus I have Neo Geo Fatal Fury Special and one of the King of the Fighters games to make a nice display.

I just saw a Sonico figure with a water gun that looks ok. I don't know the character at all though.

Saw that one but it didn't do anything for me.

I don't like the face on that one. But the water gun concept is cool. I would like to see more attempt that sort of thing.

Anyone excited for the Bishoujo Street Fighter Zero 3 (round 2) Sakura?

It's on my wishlist.

Looking forward to the sculpt reveal for Street Fighter Zero 3 Karin!

These 2 will go really well together.

Sakura doesn't look tough enough for me. I'm hoping with the new Streets of Rage game coming out that someone will make a good figure of Blaze.

A tough looking Sakura is better suited to the ARTFX-J line. Those more closely resemble the source material, whereas Bishoujo line accentuate the cute/moe look of the characters since they are all based on Shunya Yamashita's illustrations.

Maybe so, but I agree I'd have liked a different look for her. Either lean fully into her Alpha/Zero aesthetic - the kind of stereotypically cute, slim and smooth anime schoolgirl look - or lean more into her maturing look from V - more muscle definition, less cute. I think the pose could be better, too. Doesn't scream "Sakura Kasugano" quite so much as if they had her, say, doing her victory dance or something.

Of all the SF Bishoujo figures, I think I'd like to get my hands on Juri the most. Everything about it looks spot on to the character while still being aesthetically "bishoujo." That or Ibuki. Or Makoto, if they ever get to her. Or Elena. God, my kingdom for a Makoto or Elena.

The MB Eva-02 has started off another Evangelion kick for me so I'm looking at Asuka figures again. I'm trying to decide between these two and Could really use some opinions.

seated on is 1/7th scale, is about ~$145 shipped from Amazon.

the standing one is 1/6, it's a hobby japan exlusive but amiami has one used for $161+shipping from japan.

Naginata has my vote; it really shows off Sadamoto’s character design.

  By "design" you mean DAT ASS!!!!

But no for real, I have that second figure and it is wonderful. (Managed to get mine for a relative steal (~$120 shipped) on YJP.) I agree it adheres better to Sadamoto's style than the 1/7, though I'm sure that one's not bad either, it's all a matter of taste.

The white bunny is quite cute and really big, but I think I'm more interested in the Christmas bunny.

Rurouni Kenshin fans, you might be interested with Figurama's 1/6 Kenshin vs Shishio diorama which is now open for PO (limited to 950 pcs): https://figurama-collectors.com/collections/elite-exclusive/products/rurouni-kenshin?variant=31754473275497

Not really into statue territory, but there's only a few really good Kenshin figs out there, and being a long time fan of the series, just have to get his, lol. It's quite expensive though at $1100 USD, (20%, or $220 deposit) but they have payment plans up to 10 months (no interest or fees). Also if you pay thru their CC processor Payfort, they have a $45 discount on shipping. Size of the statue is 60cmx60cmx55cm  so have to look for a big space to display it (by the way, they say the swords are diecast).

PO is still open as of this writing. The last diorama, the Meruem vs Netero (HxH) I believe lasted 7 hours before it was closed.

Tempting on the Amakaka Ryu No Hirameki. Does the base looks like it’s from a ship or from the roof top (anime). I do see a clock (too big for a pocket watch that Hoji carries around on the base. It’s not a serpent but a dragon. LoL

Damn double Battou-Jutsu. Tempting but with the Hot Toys End Game coming out that’s gonna be a hard swing. Gonna have to settle for these guys for now unless I unload some of the Macross doubles.
