Another one gets the axe And another one gone, a blue thingy gone Another one gets the axe I’ve been dropping shows lately and the latest one is Welcome to the NHK! The novelty of a series about hikkikomori and NEETs was what drew me to this show. However, the novelty has worn off and I [...]

Well, Koto finally threw their hat into the "let's make a Nanoha holding her assraper staff figure" ring. Their offering is seen, by TJ Han at least, as a subpar effort that fells short in much the ways I would say the other figures I've posted up today have fallen short. I think Han said [...]

This is a very silly comedy with bizarre situations involving the clumsy Miki. My favourite was when Miki challenges Megumi to a poster girl competition. They dress up in different costumes, using different techniques to attract customers to their shops - of course, it all back fires. Poor Megumi! I didn’t laugh out loud that much, and [...]

Pictures of Alter's rendition of our favourite Ignis have just been released. They seemed to have been aiming for a 'harder' version of Ignis compared to the Max Factory one. Ignis here looks ready to strike, and all in all they've done quite a detailed job on her outfit and her sword. The designs on her outfit which should be white are done in shades of gray. Less striking, and that's not a good thing. Alter's version is the only one where her long-gloved hand is brought to the forefront. I think the Max Factory version is still the most 'beautiful', this one has that sexy, kick-ass, girl look, while the Bome version is slightly subdued. Just my personal opinion >> 1) Max Factory 2) Alter 3) Kaiyodo Bome. Name: Ignis 1/8 scale PVC Manufacturer: Alter Release Date: October 2006 Price: 5800 Yen >>> Toyzlog Tags: PVC Figures , Figurines , Toys , Anime , Anime Toys , Japanese Toys , Alter , Jingai Makyo , Ignis , Tenjou

Although she’s not wearing that lovely pink miniskirt, her “standing proud after battle” pose and her pilot suit show off her curves in the best [...]
