Good lord look at those things. Out of control. You are looking at Shiori Tsuzuki, Reina’s assistant from the popular Witchblade anime series. The girl is confident, and I bet you can tell why. Shiori is a calculated killer who absolutely requires blood. This girl is nuts and she has the ability to take out nearly any adversary with brutal and precise force, but worst of all, she knows it. The figure is a big beautiful 1:7 scale PVC statue that brandishes some of the best craftsmanship from limited production run figures ever. Personally, I can live without the quadruple z breasts. Don’t get me wrong, I love my boobies just as much as the next guy, but this is overboard. Does she not have severe back pain? Anyways, let’s get on to the things I love about this figure. Her waist is at least proportionate to her massive jugs; so often today figures inaccurately present monster boobs and tiny waists, at least this one could be true. I also really like the colours chosen to cover the figure with. There’s a nice light skin tone and the perfect white for her cute little bikini. The silver high heels cap it all off nicely and add a little bit of extra flare with the watch and bangle on her wrists. No figure is complete without a little extra so the boys over at Orchid Seed (I only assume they’re all boys) give us an awesome interchangeable left arm that comes equipped with her blue Clondblade and, less impressively, a black display base. In the end, this figure is well worth your money. You friends will envy both you and her. Display this piece on your shelf with pride.

Posted by admin under: Kotobukiya; To Heart 2.
I recently picked up this little gem for a desktop ornament at work. Tamaki is doing some serious lounging on a beautiful burgundy armchair after a hard day’s work of being a hot maid. Life’s rough for her. If you ask me, the Japanese could learn a thing or two from the Americans. All you gotta do is encourage aliens to come into your country with shoddy border patrol and voila, maids galore. The sexy girls who used to be maids can become high class escorts and service high level politicians who smoke crack in hotels that rent by the hour. But I digress. All racism and prejudice aside, me wanty. Despite all the crap I just said, please, please never get rid of the sexy maid thing. I need it like others need schoolgirl and, to a lesser extent, dominatrix. I love maid figures and this is no different. In the end, Tamaki Kousaka measures four and three-quarter inches off the table, but keep in mind she is sitting down, so it will not look out of place with your other 1/8 and 1/7 figures. Tamaki also comes with removable shoes so you can playfully arrange them to your little heart’s desire. Tamaki holds up the bar that Kotobukiya’s previous figures have set and is a shining example of what the company is capable of.

Posted by admin under: Alter; Beat Angel Escalayer.
I can’t get over how completely adorable this figure is despite the fact she’s from something so tainted. Nobody has to know that the character, Sayuka Kouenji, was spawned from the popular hentai Beat Angel Escalayer. Beat Angel Esccalayer is where I start to defer from Japanese culture and say it gets a bit messed up. The show’s marketed as an sci-fi ero-comedy. First of all what the hell is the guy thinking making you laugh while you’re tuggin’ the sausage. Next, not wanting to offend the people that like it, but what is the deal with tentacle invasions? That’s not hot. Imagine all those suckers on such smooth surfaces; trying to get those unstuck would be a nightmare. Sayuka Kouenji is the Escalayer, protector of the Earth from the evil forces of the Dielast. Heard that plot before? It gets better. Her faithful android companion, Madoka, is always by her side ready to pleasure her at any moment. Yes, that way. You see, sexual pleasure and climax is the only way the Escalayer can achieve her super Earth saving abilities a-la Super Saiyan. Weird in so many different ways.
Put it aside for now. Let’s look at the figure, which may be hard knowing how truly dirty this young girl really is(didn’t mention young before because that’s a whole other ball of weird Japanese wax) but get over it. The figure is cute. She’s not hot or sexy, except for maybe the belly button showing through her shirt and the skirt. As always from Alter, the figure is a beautiful sculpt with nice bright happy paints. Sayuka stands with her right hand pointing backwards and her left hand on her hip. In an always adorable fashion of manipulating the abdomen in non-natural poses, Sayuka’s midsection is pushed outwards. If you’re a fan of the hentai you should definitely not miss this figure. It’s a clean, cute, and bright figure that your kid would have no problem bringing for show and tell; she’s closer to their age than she is yours. Weird, again, sorry.

Posted by admin under: Chaos Gate; Orchid Seed.
This is one of the three Ignis figures I really love and of the three, this particular one is easily my favorite. This figurine meshes the super sexy with the incredibly elegant better than any other figure I’ve seen thus far. Ignis’ lovely red hair is flowing wildly as she strikes her majestic pose and the look on her face is both terrifying and asserted. All these things make for a beautiful figure but what really puts this one over the edge is how intricate and beautiful her wedding dress is. Even on her wedding day she looks like she could beat the snot out of you. The dress itself is a hybrid of gothic and traditional dressed to make something completely over the top huge mixed with hard white leather straps and buckles. The way the dress appears to be floating in the wind will have you begging that every anime figure you buy from now on is adorned with such love and detail. I notice that I didn’t mention that the dress is completely removable (mmmmm). When you take it all off you can see Ignis’ large (abnormally so) breasts (again mmmmm) and her lace panties (it just doesn’t stop). Overall, a beautiful piece that any true anime figurine collector must have on their shelf. This is a perfect tribute to the Ignis character and the whole Chaos Gate universe.

Posted by admin under: Kotobukiya; Shining Wind.
Finally, Kotobukiya brings us a beautiful version of Blanc Neige in her Shining Wind uniform. So far, the Shining Wind and Tears figures released by Max Factory and others haven’t really tickled my fancy. Kotobukiya truly captures the elegance and beauty of Tony’s characters better than anyone else has before them. I have already pre-ordered mine because I simply can’t get enough of this figurine. I love pre-orders like this; it’s like having another birthday when it finally comes. Check out detailed pictures and information on where to find her after the break.

Posted by admin under: Vampire Savior; Yamato.
Like many others, I first fell in love with Morrigan as a young boy at the arcade in 1994. It was the only game I would play and she was the only character I would use. This is by far my favorite rendering of her in two or three dimensions. Yamato brings us this beautiful figure as a part of their tribute to the seductive ladies of Capcom. The work that sculptor Mitsumasa Yoshizawa puts into a chunk of resin is incredible. I would have to say my favorite part about this figure is Morrigan’s face. The look she is giving me is totally realistic for a broad this hot. She looks completely unimpressed while laid back and chill. She’s got that hot bitch thing going on and I really appreciate how incredibly life-like Yoshizawa can make her. The colours that got chosen wouldn’t have been my first choices for this statue but I have to say I like them a lot better than the original green hair and darker purple leggings. Finally, the real feather boa that comes with the figurine makes her an incredible and unique collector’s item.

Here is the first of our really dirty (but the good dirty) figures. If you’re afraid that somebody’s looking over your shoulder, you probably shouldn’t click the read more link. If you’re a fan of incredibly detailed, mouthwatering, sexy figures, you should probably click the read more link. Shiratori Amane is the one reason I would like to be in the hospital. I mean, can you imagine? I would think I was in a coma should this lovely broad come in to give me a sponge bath. Let’s start with the pose. Probably my favorite pose of any figure yet. Sitting in her chair, her pink stockings flow all the up her long legs leaving you breathless. Her clothes are removable, because it would be both heartwrenching and simply unfair to the consumer should they not be. The voluptuous figure comes complete with a stethoscope, glasses (mmm) and other less crazy sexy accessories as well. One thing is for certain, buying this figure will cure whatever ails you. Unless it’s AIDS, you can’t cure that shit (Magic excluded).
