And we’re back! Life has gotten much busier, so I haven’t had the capacity to do any photography or reviews. However, I have not stopped purchasing anime figures…
I may do another post on what’s been happening, but for now, let’s recap what figures I’ve bought and preordered during my absence. So if a figure I list is already released, by the time you read this, then I probably already have it. I won’t lie, I’ve definitely lost track of figures so I’m not going to bother listing them by release dates - alphabetical order will have to do. We have a lot to get through, so without further delay-
Please be advised that this page has quite a few images… also mfc links on each image subtitle if available
Also, you may have noticed that the site went down for a couple months. Unfortunately, the solution I was previously using decided to increase their price past what I’d be willing to pay, so we had to part ways. That’s alright though, because now we have a new provider and… comments!
A
The Nier statue collection grows. Creation Studio are consistently pretty good, and I’m a big fan of their Fire Keeper and Zero statues. The sculpt on this A2 statue is exception, so I opted to pick up the her clothed variant. The cast off was pretty nice too, but technically androids wouldn’t have genitals, so it was a good excuse to save some money.
I debated on whether I was going to pick Miu up, and I’m glad I did. I love that she’s depicted as changing between a bunny suit and seifuku - super unique!
I’m a simple man.
Raita? Check. LESLyzerosix? Check. Pre-order? You bet! The amount of squish here is unreal.
Did they just walk up and make her cast-off!?
Yes. Yes they did.
Another figure by Astrum Design. While I admittedly wasn’t familiar with the artist (NaBaBa), I have to say that the colours and translucent coat really did intrigued me - enough to the point where I decided to preorder her.
¥33,000…
I have to say though, that negligee and posing with Aqua’s supporters here is really nice. Alas, we have pre-ordered her.
Two Aquas!?
This LESLyzerosix Aqua went through quite a few delays. Thankfully, it was very much worth the wait, and the smugness here is palpable.
More like Ass-ra Ninja, amirite. Hehehe.
For context, Megami Device is a series of plastic model kits, which unfortunately are not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, Nidy-2D is, and this scale designed by them is very much my cup of beverage. Interestingly, you can change out the parts on this figure and display her laying down which is pretty neat.
My first Anmi figure. Honestly though, I only bought this figure because of the pizza. Someone please help me curb my irresponsible spending.
The DX version of this figure by Alter gives you multiple display options, and god damn, they all go hard.
Can’t wait for this one!
B
Another Alter bote - this time, Baltimore. I opted for the lightweight version this time, because I don’t thing the additional rigging adds too much to this one. And to kick off B, she definitely has ample Bs.
God bless America.
This is literally just a 1/4 scale swimsuit Megumi. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
FREEing really aren’t messing around with their Azur Lane 1/4 scales. Black Prince is surprisingly reasonably priced, and I like the unique pose of resting on two stools. PO’d.
I really enjoyed FE3H. And even though I played as male Byleth, we live in the dimension where male anime figures don’t exist. Nevertheless, I had to pick her up since since I loved the game; not to mention that some FE figures seem to go gangbusters (Sallya/Tharja says hello).
C
One of two anime figures based on artwork by Fuyuki-san.
This one was actually a bit of an impulse buy. I’m somewhat glad it was though, because this figure turned out great. There really is just something about a well-endowed nun baring it all that really seems to work.
Vibrastar is a new manufacturer of lewd figures, and they’ve already put out some brilliant stuff. I assure you, this is not the first time you’ll be seeing them in this list.
D
This is De-chan, based on an illustration by Belko, from Dai Kasshoku Jidai.
大褐色時代, or daikasshokujidai, directly translates to; The Great Brown Age. This highly cultured source material features girls who can be described as having a “choco” complexion. I already picked up Philena Waal, and intend to get the rest of them too.
Amakuni don’t miss.
Unfortunately, I missed out on Duke of York and Prince of Wales. So when she came up for re-release, I had to cop. Fingers crossed they re-release Prince of Wales.
Please Mimeyoi. I beg you.
E
Part deux of the trio by Frog, based on an artwork by Oda Non.
As the saying goes, if it’s yellow let it mellow. And so it shall mellow in my pre-orders.
Rurudo is the original artist (or mama as they say ‘round these parts) for Tokoyami Towa. This figure is very, and I mean very cute.
I had to have her, and now I do.
F
This figure is the first in a supposed series by Vertex, titled “Orbit Girls”. If you didn’t notice, she’s actually a bunny girl as well! As the limited edition copy, she also comes with a bunch of extras and is cast off, which is neat. Mecha girls are めっちゃ sugoi, so I had to PO.
As for Fiona herself, she’s based off an artwork by Nadare. This original character actually has a number of other figures too, including some B-styles.
You might be surprised to hear that in my earlier days, I was very much a big 2hu fan. You’re probably familiar with U.N Owen Was Her? or at the very least have heard it before in passing. This is the theme of our girl here, and this is probably going to be THE quintessential figure of her.
Even though she’s an eye watering ¥31,800 for a 1/8 scale.
G
Gal + Bunny, say no more right?
As a self professed Mataro enjoyer, I’m contractually obliged to purchase figures based on his work. In all seriousness, I only buy figures I like regardless of the artist; so I wouldn’t buy a figure from a poor manufacturer, even if I’m a fan of the source material. Pink Cat’s track record isn’t too bad, so we’re POing this one.
Evan Lee is a Taiwanese artist with a very distinctive style. His recent works have largely been based on a futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetic - and is nothing short of spectacular. He also doesn’t shy away from making his work lewd as part of his world-building, and it is very much appreciated.
Ginny has a really unique design and very detailed. This is truly an amazing piece, and I can’t wait to eventually review her.
Of course ya boi had to pick up Grim Aloe to go with Aqua. Now, this figure is also sculpted by LESLyzerosix and is from a Konami arcade title.
Was able to find her for a not bad price on the aftermarket.
H
The nurse archetype is actually surprisingly missing from my collection. And to celebrate COVID being over, I decided to preorder this nurse for… let’s just say posterity.
As for the figure itself, I’m not familiar with Marushin or Hotvenus as a manufacturer. This one is being distributed by native though, and the idea of depicting a nurse getting ready is pretty unique. Henceforth, PO’d.
I
Ah, another figure of Illustrious. Brilliant Journey is a completely new manufacturer, so this one is certainly quite a gamble. Nevertheless, there are still reasons to PO this despite that. In fact, I can see two of them right in front of me.
J
Once again, Nidy-2D is designing mecha adjacent girls and I am pre-ordering them. This series in particular are all maids with weapons, such as Ax and Blade.
And Amakuni? Say no more, I’m already there.
We meet again Hotvenus. This time, we’re looking at a figure who’s name is Julia. Julia is a Jiāngshī, which for lack of a better explanation, is a Chinese vampire.
Since my collection is currently Jiāngshī-free and this figure is tastefully thick, we are pre-ordering her.
You better not dissapoint me, gogoko and Hotvenus.
K
Here’s the other figure based on Fuyuki-san’s work. This elf is quite big at a scale of 1/5. I’ve noticed that figures by Pleaides are quite lewd, and this one is no exception.
We take those (into our pre-orders).
A statue based on an original artwork by Lovecacao. Once again, big fan of the cyberpunk/techwear aesthetic, so I picked her up. She’s much better than the other figure by this same studio, Queen - which is good!
Will eventually review them together, I hope.
L
Woo, 2T’s first anime figure! And what a way to kick it off with BINDing.
Some may think that her oppai are too big. And to them I say: “yeah that’s like, your opinion man”.
Mine is that we pre-order her.
Another Asanagi anime figure. This one is particular is sufficiently squishy, and has a very interesting pose. Because we don’t really have enough Asanagi figures, I figured I’d fulfil my civic duty an pre-order her too, because big booba cheerleader - why not?
There’s no way it’s a coincidence that Lilith Bacon and Long Range Joshikousei here both have the same pose and are next to each other alphabetically. This is clearly a sign from the universe that pre-ordering both of them was the right decision.
Now, some people may tell you that this pose makes absolutely no sense and/or is virtually impossible. Here’s the thing though - this is an anime figure.
Also - high school girl with gun, say no more fam.
There is one thing very much apparent about Sorananiiro-san’s work.
This. Guy. Elfs.
Now, unfortunately most figures of their work are from the exceedingly unremarkable FOTS/B’full. This one however, is by Vibrastar, audible fist pump.
The contrast between the elf fantasy race and leather adorned “ara-ara” is truly a sight to behold, so I PO’d this one without hesitation.
My first Fire Emblem game was Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, which was just called Fire Emblem in for its western release. Lyn had the honour of being the prologue chapter of this game, and holds a personal title for me as the first Fire Emblem waifu. Let’s rejoice this 緑色 hair coloured plain maiden and pick up her only anime figure.
Vertex really out here segregating dark elves into their own village.
Lyra is another Vertex Villager based on an illustration by Takahiro, who was also responsible for Archeyle and Siika. Similarly to Archeyle, she also has a bow. This is not the last time we see Takahiro on this post either, stay tuned.
M
Because you can’t have too many cheerleaders - especially when they’re sculpted by LESLzerosix.
For some reason, there are a lot of anime figures/statues that begin with the letter M… and who best to begin with than Mai.
I was pretty sad that I missed out Tri-Eagle Studios’ Mai, which is now goes for outrageous amounts on the aftermarket. So when OT Studios announced they were doing a 1/3 scale, I knew I had to pick up this beeg girl.
Nippon Ichi.
Unsure how it’s taken me this long to get a figure from Pyonkichi in our figure pipeline, but here we are.
Fox girl maid is a pretty goated combination, so we’re pre-ordering her. On that note, that makes three figures from Hotvenus now. Let’s really hope they don’t dissapoint!
Here’s a GK statue of Makima by Zaohua Studio. I really like the design here, but unfortunately I feel like they sorta missed on the portrait. Other than that though, Zaohua really nailed everything else! Review coming eventually in the future…
MY QUEEN
is based on an original illustration by Siokonbu, who also did the art for Redo of Healer. I’m a big fan of how Siokonbu does curves, and I’m missing a queen in my collection soooo….
This is a GK statue by Whalesong Studio, which is based on an artwork of Marnie by Sakimichan. This statue also came with a cast off body, which is very neat.
The wonderful world of garage kits where copyright infringement doesn’t exist means that yes, we can get statues based off fan artworks. And aren’t we glad that they can, because Whalesong absolutely knocked it out of the park here.
I still have no idea how or why Alter is releasing a Saekano figure in 2023. Nevertheless, I am not complaining. The collection grows.
And another one.
Will this be the last one? Find out NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BAL-
Melina - Elden Ring, by Crown Studio
A cast-off 1/4 statue of Melina… yeah.
poyoyon is the artist responsible for the monogatari series. Excusing the highly creative name, this pair should be pretty great. For starters, they’re 1/5.5 instead of 1/6. Also, they’re cast-off since this is a native release. This one is going to be fire!
A very cute bunny, that looks like Kizuna AI. That’s all I gotta say folks.
Okay, so I have a type. And for some reason, Piromizu seems to very much fulfil this type. Pre-ordered with zero hesitation.
Hobby sakura is a Chinese manufacturer. I’m a big fan of tightly fitting onepieces, and this figure is very much this dialled up to 11. Combined with fantasy elements, I just can’t refuse.
A Morrigan GK statue by Moonlight Studio. Actually like how they didn’t go for an “anime” style portrait here compared to some other statues of her, since official art of Morrigan isn’t actually like that. Also, you’re able to cast off her breast pieces which is nice.
Takahiro’s second appearance is a dragon girl with a massive tail. I don’t think this one needs much explanation, although that womb tattoo is really sus isn’t it…
N
Sixty. Thousand. Yen.
53rd most on MFC.
We live in a society.
O
Purple Bunny Mommy is very pleasing to look at. So pleasing infact, that I immediately pre-ordered her as soon as she was available. I hope you did too.
Heyo is that a GAMING CHAIR!?
Honestly, it’s been quite a few hours of writing this post and I’m starting to get a bit silly. Nevertheless, I like the concept of an e-girl anime figure and DSmile, so we buying her.
P
Petunia - Original Character, by Aoko
AOKO is a new Chinese manufacturer, and Petunia is their first figure. Is she a cute elf of the flowers? Or a sexy succubus? I guess we’ll find out when she arrives, won’t we.
Power (DX Ver.) - Chainsaw Man, by Zaohua Studio
A statue of Power, by Zaohua Studio. There’s a couple of decent ones coming out from other studios, but I want to stick to Zaohua since I have their Makima and Denji. Based on their previous works, I have confidence that they’ll deliver.
R
Probably the best Ranni statue coming out right now, or in the distant future. The inclusion of a dark moon ring and greatsword are pretty cool additions as well! Can’t wait for her to arrive :)
Reze Wedding Dress (DX Ver.) - Chainsaw Man, by Zaohua Studio
Certainly some creative liberties here. This statue is quite spectacular, and came with cast-off pieces and a realistic/anime portrait. I’ll review her one day…
I’m a big 魚デニム fan, and this bunny girl is right up my alley. A question I do have though is; how did that pole get in between her breasts and bikini?
Guess we’ll have to preorder her to find out huh.
A very interesting figure conceptually. Presumably, Rumiru is a JK that’s also secretly a succubus. Mataro really doesn’t miss does he.
Preordered.
Ah, Senran Kagura. Perhaps one of the most interesting series to come out of Japan in recent years, namely for its unashamed selling point. Our girl here, Ryoubi, has a bit of a complex about her, relatively flat chest. As a result, she’s also a bit of sadist, especially against her sister. What’s she doing with that candle?
Oh.
Ryouna is Ryoubi’s masochist twin-sister, if you couldn’t tell from her smiling before the candle wax from her sister falls on her. Of course I had to pick her up too, since I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to buy one of these sisters and not the other.
S
fish
魚（さかな）, or “sakana” means fish in Japanese.
Fish are pretty cool.
Aiue Oka are a pair of illustrators, who created the doujinshi, Bullied: Revenge Hypnosis. Sanada-san is from said doujinshi, and it appears that Aiue Oka have done a illustration of her in a bunny girl suit for BINDing. I love the use of pink here, so that very much pushed me over the edge on POing her.
RERELEASE ALERT WOO WOO
saitom needs no introduction, neither does my justification for pre-ordering this one.
Asanagi’s entry into the Great Brown Age. Interestingly. She has both a glossy version, and a normal version.
Imagine having the option and not choosing the glossy version.
Don’t we all love a cow girl? Especially when Houtengeki is the one behind her.
‘nuff said.
More Mimeyoi Azur Lane. Don’t question it, trust me.
I’m actually not much of a Sonico fan. But how could I not buy this one.
Grizzry Panda. Go Go Curry. Tan lines up the wazoo.
An interesting one. For some reason, people don’t really like her on MFC, but I think she’s super cute. I mean, it is Mataro after all…
Pre-ordered with a bit of hesitation.
An interesting one. I’m pretty sure I preordered this one out of spite because I missed out on Alter’s St. Louis, but she ended up getting reissued anyway (which I did PO) so uhhhh…
This one is still pretty nice though, hope she turns out well.
The re-release that no one expected, but is very much relieved happened. I guess good things really do happen to those who wait, huh?
I exercised my second amendment rights to preorder her.
I swear Asanagi has propped up quite a few times on this list. Not that I’m complaining though.
T
There was a point in my life where I vowed never to buy an anime figure with a toilet in it.
Where did it all go so, so wrong?
Suzuki Mei (TGIF No.2) - Evan Lee Original Character, by Queen Studios x Madology
The second TGIF statue in Evan Lee’s collaboration with Queen Studios and Madology. I’ll skip the backround here since I already covered it earlier, but I’m really looking forward to this one.
The girl at the forefront of Michiking’s original illustration with Akagiri Miu. It’s a bit unfortunate that she’s a 1/6 scale instead of Miu being a 1/4 scale, but I have faith in SkyTube that they’ll absolutely deliver on the details.
W
She is going to look amazing next to FREEing’s Albedo, which was a surprise cast-off.
Let’s wrap this one up shall we?
Y
Man, Creation Studio makes some good stuff. So when they announced a Yor Forger statue, I had to cop, no cap. Looking forward to this one!
Z
More Mimeyoi Azur Lane. Don’t question it, trust me. (x2)
And that’s all he wrote
Whew. That was surprisingly a lot of work. If you’re reading this, then I thank you for visiting my site and looking at my strange taste in plastic, sometimes resin or polystone butts. I definitely missed some but such is life.
I really love this hobby, and I want nothing more to get back to photography and videography of these again as soon as I can. This may be a couple of months or more, but I assure you - I will return!
