See what I did there? That’s title making SKILL right there. Well, Good Smile Company has come trotting out more October offerings, and they are a bit underwhelming to me. Really. I’ll jump right into it. Adding a whole new level of… something to the Nendoroid line, GSC has decided to do a Nendoroid Binchou-tan. For some reason, all I can find my self asking is how, exactly, a nendoroid Binchou-tan is different from a normal one. She looks the same. Sort of boring, nothing really to say about it otherwise. It’ll be out in October for 3,500 yen. (What’s with the price bump?)

Continuing the line of uninspired figures for October (sorry, just… not very interesting figures), GSC is doing the iDOLM@STER thing. From Xenoglossia comes Hagiwara Yukiho. Now, normally I am one to just silently ogle cute ladies in bikinis, but this one is just sort of… not great. The entire figure looks a bit, hm, soft. In a build sense, that is. Things just seem not to carry the firm lines I generally expect. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, I think it’s well fit for the hair, but when you have a bikini figure, there needs to be detail in the body, which is sorely lacking here. The breasts sort of seem to come up short, based on the angles given. Meaning, that seem to stop farther from the chest than where it seems that should. Likewise, the arms, stomach, and legs just lack any sort of definition that would make Yukiho a fun addition to my shelf. Not bad, but not good either. Xenoglossia fans might dig it. She’s out in October for 4,800 yen.

Hit the jump for a few pictures of each of our special ladies.
