That Samurai Maid Iroha Figure
Iroha has become quite popular with figure makers lately, what with about ten PVCs released or slated for early 2007. The Cerberus Project sculpt differs significantly from the rest of the pack, gaving Iroha a more cartoony face, but more importantly, while everyone else chose to put her in pin-up poses, Cerberus Project decided to [...]
Figure Out Witchblade Maria
Maria from the Witchblade anime is a strange girl. She has tri-tone hair, wears a corset, thigh high boots, a swimsuit bottom, and carries around her own pedestal for when she feels like sitting down. Then there’s the sly sarcastic grin, the icing to let you know that she’s no normal cupcake. Larger
Figure of Murata’s UJ14 Robot Girl
I think Range Murata’s girl from UltraJump 14 (UJ14) is a cyborg or a robot, at least I hope so, because that headgear apparatus looks too heavy for a human to wear. One of the things above the style, above the coloring, above all the aesthetics of Range Murata’s illustrations that I admire is the [...]

This time she’s feeling a bit more festive toting a penguin shaped ice shaver and dressed in a white bikini swimsuit, the kind with a low rise bottom. She really wanted to make some snowball [...]
Carene Tells Me About Black Friday Figures
Carene Hortensia tells me that Black Friday got its name because traditionally figures turn black today. She gets annoyed when I cut her explanation short, since the kind of figures she was talking about don’t really interest me — well they do, but I pretend not to care too much for money. After seeing my [...]
Ignis Figure, One Killer Butterfly
I was really late getting to the studio, close to midnight — just one of those days where a hundred five minute delays got in the way. When I opened the door I expected to find a note from Ignis telling me she grew tired of waiting, that I should have called and been more considerate. Instead of [...]
