Alter is stepping up the fuck with some nice ero-based figures for June. You know how much I love those ero character designs and great story lines. Yessir. It’s like reading Playboy for the articles, only true. First up is Fauna from Megachu! (Megamisama Chuuihou). Fauna looks to go along with that Makai Tenshi Djibril crowd and I think she would fit right in, color and outfit wise. She is an amazing carve and I always love that belly-button through the suit thing. Nice expression in the face. She’s 1/8 scale and 180mm tall. She’s out for 5,800 yen this June.
Next up in the sexy list from Demonbane is Al Azif. She’s wearing a swimsuit and sitting playfully in a floaty ring. The carve is spectacular, the look is great, and I really dig the pose. I do have some concerns about the stomach fold, but hey, I am a picky bastard and no one ever listens to me anyway. DO THEY, HAN?! Out in June, she’s 100mm tall sitting, and will run you a scant 4,800 yen.
Some shots of each up after the jump. I am not as taken in by these just because I am insisting on holding out for Max Factory. INSISTING! ABIDE ME! Ok, hit the jump now.
Fauna figures looks megacute but rods in the base like that always make me nervous about leaning (or make me think of Yujin’s terrible Kanaria figure).
I have to agree with you there. Anytime I see floating or one legged figures I get worried… too worried to lay down the cash for the figures anyway. >.>
WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO ME?!
Always like this. The first thing that comes in my mind, when seeing these one legged floaters, is “Will this last 1 week or a month?”. It just looks so unlogical to stay in that position. I always presume that it would kiss the horizontal plane in my glass cabinet straight after I turn my back to it.
I thank my money deities when it comes to this, being ultrapicky & selective, I just skip these. Even though it looks awesome. Same with that sexy Al Azif. Only one piece per character, my golden rule. Sometimes helpful, sometimes just pain in the ass when it comes to selecting 1 from 3 or over possibilites.
And I agree on that stomach fold, it looks… awkward. Needs more sexy navel, then I’d hard pressed *cough*.
I ordered Fauna.
I’m not as concerned about leaning anymore. That impossible standing on one toe Iroha from Art Storm that I got hasn’t leaned a single bit after two months. I guess I just keep my place so cold that the pvc doesn’t soften up.
