A Woman's Take on Figure Collecting

How a Girl Figures

Alpha x Omega Shirley

Finally a Shirley figure! For such a popular series i’d expect Code Geass to have more figures of their characters. Still i’m glad the figures that have come out by Alpha x Omega are awesome and how they just keep producing these amazing figures. What is awesome is how they were able to replicate the enlongated character designs that clamp does yet still give them a  realistic look that is appealing to the eyes in the 3D ver.

The jacket is cute but somehow seems a bit bulky.

So much better when we can see some back and more of her Sukumizu.

The apron is also removable but still quite cute.

Very nice cleavage, i don’t have that many figures with such nice cleavage, in fact Shirley’s rivals Yoko!

The tray with the drink is cute but it topples over all the time.

Very nice tush! Love her thight highs, very cute color and the ruffles are a nice touch.

Overall a very nice and well detailed figure. Very nice curves and the outfit has the wrinkles in all the right spots and hugs her body just like a normal swimsuit would. She’s got the best of both worlds Meido and Sukumizu! What’s not to love? While there is so much to love i love her eyes the most, that peircing green is just awesome. I like this figure very much but in all honesty if i didn’t like Geass or had never seen it i would not have bothered to get her. Which is why i’m glad i did like the show since then i would have missed out on a beauty.

    Does your background collection rival your figure collection? Because they’re very nice.

    idk about that but i try and change the backdrop per figure and not re-use them often

    I agree; seeing as Code Geass is such a popular series, I’d imagine there would be a lot of figures of many other characters, especially the males. I’d really love it if MegaHouse would make a Suzaku as part of their G.E.M. line to compliment their Zero figure. Other males Code Geass characters would be nice too.

    But anyway, this Shirley looks amazing. After getting my hands on AlphaOmega’s Villetta Nu, I’ve been thinking of getting Shirley and Kallen as well~ So we’ll see.

    Also, nice review and lovely pictures as always! :)

    Well thank you, i thought the strawberry’s suited her personality to i went with it. I do also hope they make a Suzaku to go with the new Zero figure. I can’t wait till i get my hands on him! I’m so glad Megahouse is doing this new G.E.M. series, we need more male figures!

    Not a bad looking figure at all
    Sukumizu and Maid at the same time. Can’t go wrong with that~

    Beautiful photos and she is a very nice Shirley figure. I would have wanted a figure of her in her school uniform but this figure is growing on me and I would certainly try to add her to my collection soon.

    yeah the school uniform would have been pretty good as well

    “For such a popular series i’d expect Code Geass to have more figures of their characters.”

    Couldn’t agree more. I’d love a PVC of Euphie and a more conservatively dressed figure of Viletta. She does look sexy in that figure but I want one of her in her militiary uniform or in her lovely summer dress when she was more meek.

    couldn’t agree more a Euphemia figure and a toned don Viletta

    You have make another very beautiful presentation. The figure is very well realized, it’s a good work of Alpha X Omega. But, I don’t like clothes which she wears. The alliance of maid and swimsuit ^^ ”

    Ah, you didn’t get Kallen…
    I don’t have Shirley yet as it’s due to my current budget.
    I plan to get her soon though…
    Really nice figure shoot though!!!!!!
    Now I think of it, Shirley does match Yoko in oppai size!!!

    I was teetering on the edge of buying this for a while, and I ultimately decided not to — she looks somewhat awkward from certain angles. Still, great pose and outfit. I may spring for her yet if I see a good price at a con.

    The apron’s a great touch — adds a little extra tease and complements the thigh-highs (which are what really make the figure, if you ask me). Gives the illusion of concealing, but it’s too small to actually do so. Sexy!

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    i like the apron, and the thigh highs are cute as well!

    Slightly off topic, but am I the only one having issues with Kid Nemo lately? Appears to me their service level has dropped a great deal in the past few months.Orders not being delivered, poor communication. I have stopped ordering from them until they get things cleaned up, unfortunately have several 100 dollars in pre-orders pending.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    they have been acting up lately, yet i’ve had a few orders from them come through and they were quick about responding as well

    Michael Reply:

    Hmm, not sure what is going on with them, but will probably use other places till they stabilize. Thanks for the reply.

    Sorry about the car! Hope your ok.
