Otaku’s Hideout

Apparently, another company has decided to join the fun in producing similarly posed Beat Blades Haruka figures. This time it’s Volks. Their Haruka and Narika figures, judging from the photos, look very much alike Alter/Kotobukiya ones. (With some difference of course). Personally, I like Haruka from Volks. Her face looks much better. And her hair part feels nicer than Alter’s, which looks a bit weird. As for Narika, I also feel this one is much better than Kotobukiya’s (me not much of a Narika fan). Anyway, I can only really judge after a proper photo of her is up.

Finally! More Shining Wind figures from Max Factory. It had been quite sometime since they release their highly-popular Kureha. Now they are coming out with Seena Kanon! From what I can see, the figure shall be based on the illustration which can be seen in the next page. This shall be a highly-anticipated one.

All photos taken from Shining Blog

Continuation from my previous post: Click me!

Shining Wind’s official figure blog brings to us the prototype uncoloured version of the upcoming Ryuna figure from Kotobukiya. I will prefer to look at the final coloured version before making any judgements. ^^

Another of Shunya’s girls that get the limelight. Kanaru is so pretty and so sexy! Her pose is quite seductive to be honest. So are her eyes. As with other Art of Shunya Yamashita series figures, all of them have got out-of-this-world costumes. There is only one thing that I don’t understand about them: How come Shunya’s girls always get to have pantsu that defies gravity? XD She will be out in October 2008 at 7429 yen.

Verdict: Sure get. (If I can get positive feedbacks for Art Storm)

Disclaimer: This figure has not been released, nor do I own her.
