Max Factory HSP Hatsune Miku

Dancing Queen — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:43:09 +0000

Max Factory is making the cutest most adorable Miku I’ve ever laid my eyes on! Mikatan updated her blog with promo pics of the prototype of this figure and she’ll be out for pre-order soon.

She’s based off this illustration by Hiro Kanzaki. We all know just how much I adore figures based of particular illustrations and how you can compare the two to see just how wonderful a job the sculptor did to replicate the art into a 3d form!

Mikatan makes mention of wanting to pinch her cheeks, I can’t but feel the same way!

The tone of pastel green is just perfect for this Miku as well!

I’m in love with the fluttering of her skirt and how it flows so nicely. I’m curious to know what type of undies they’ll give her, i’ve got my fingers crossed for pastel green shimapan!

According Mikatan this green guy is supposed to be the artist himself! A cute way to integrate himself into the figure and the art as well.

While the Keytar is removable she doesn’t come with these leeks. These leeks are from the Figma miku and were placed there by Mikatan with double sided sticky tape. Still an adorable way to display her as well! I love this figure and she is an instant pre-order! You can never have too many Miku figures!

She’ll be out for pre-order tomorrow so make sure you get yours in time! try anyone of these awesome retailers! All bootleg free!

Append Miku Figma

Dancing Queen — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:19:52 +0000

Ah figmas, man they sure are pretty, and when you know how to pose them well they look amazing. Sadly I don’t know how to pose them, however my friend Nox Kreiker does. He has a love for figmas and since he was going to get the new Append Miku figma I told him I would love to review her however that he’d have to help with the posing!

She really is so pretty! I adore the design of Append Miku and while I personally am getting the PVC and the Nendoroid I was bummed I wasn’t going to get to see her in person, but now seeing her in person, while I don’t collect many Figmas I do wish I had one for myself!

She comes with a few faces and two different torsos so you have one with the flap opening up or one without the flap.

Also with ordering this figma you got headphones, I beleive you can use them on other figmas as well.

Miku is well made, and looks so awesome. The issue with this figma my friend had is the lack of a hole in her back for the stand and that it comes with a claw instead. This is what was the main complaint about Fraulein Revoltech, so why take a step back figma? It makes it harder to pose her plus the claw is so fragile it even broke! Good thing my friend has strong glue, however that shouldn’t have been an issue to begin with. I hope that Figma isn’t starting to think about making more figmas with the claw stand, it would be sad to see them take a step back with their designs.

Max Factory Asuka Langley Shikinami Pre-Order

Dancing Queen — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:02:37 +0000

I’ve been dying for this figure to be released since last year! Saw pictures of the prototype at Wonfest last year and she’s finally out for pre-order now! It’s a 1/6 Asuka figure and she’s so lovely!

GAH! I’m biased, surely since I adore Max Factory oh so much. Yet this Asuka figure has got to be one of the best ones ever! Well we won’t know for sure until I get to see her in my hands!

Oh Dat Ass..

Oh this figure is amazing! I can’t wait till we get the Rei since we already have Mari out which I should have a review of her up soon! This Asuka will be out around August of this year for around 5,700 yen. Try any one of these retailers to get your pre-order in!

Figma Akemi Homura Previews

Dancing Queen — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:40:51 +0000

Max Factory’s Figma blog just put up some pictures of the new Homura figma. This also means we’ll be getting a Mami and maybe the rest of the gang as well!

Golf club, cute! Is it silly that I love the golf club, not for Homura, but for my Lelouch and Suzaku figmas and have them play golf…?

Awesome action poses!

Huge gun, looks like no one will argue with Homura.

She’s adorable, they just released preview pictures and she’ll be up for pre-order tomorrow. I’ll update the site with price information, but keep your eye on your favorite retailer since she’ll go up for pre-order soon!

Update: Price is around 3,200 yen and she’ll be released in November

Figma Kaname Madoka

Dancing Queen — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 05:48:33 +0000

I’m not a huge fan of Figmas, I love the design but I catch myself not playing with them as much as I’d like. Yet there are the few times when I see one I really like and want one . After watching Puella Magi Madoka Magical I NEED this figma! I also need the Nendoroid but that’s another story!

She looks so cute and sweet!

Nice detail on the bow and arrow

Oh no!

They make Kyubei look so cute, damn Kyubei!

This figma is awesome, 3200Yen, release date 2011/09. That’s the retail price, most places will have her for a slightly discounted rate.

Pre-order yours at any one of these fine retailers!

Max Factory Elsie Pre-Order

Dancing Queen — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 08:34:30 +0000

I recently got to see all of the first season of The World God Only Knows on Crunchyroll and LOVED IT! I totally forgot that Max Factory announced this figure during wonfes since I didn’t see the show at the time. Now That I’ve seen it I really want, no I need this figure!

Max Factory always makes such amazing figures and this one is one that I can’t pass up!

I am adoring this sculpt!

Her magic scarf is removable which is nice, but I’d always leave it on her, gives it a nice color contrast!

This figure is awesome, at a retail price of 8,800 yen she’s not that expensive for a 1/8th scale figure that is so well detailed and comes with such an awesome base! She’s up for pre-order at anyone of these awesome and fine bootleg free retailers!

Max Factory Hirasawa Yui

Dancing Queen — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 04:44:50 +0000

My favorite figure company makes my Favorite K-on! girl! Max Factory has been releasing some adorable K-on! figures of the girls in different outfits that most other companies. The end result is this amazing figure that I must own!

Oh how I adore this figure, when she was announced at this past wonfes I knew I’d have to have her!

This sexy santa outfit is super adorable!

But for the times it’s not Christmas you can change Yui out to Sukumizu Yui and have her ready for the hot summer months!

Oh she looks so amazing in her school swimsuit!

I really need a Sukumizu for myself, I hope to get one someday and I’d wear it as my swimsuit all the time, I’d also wear it under my school uniform, that is if i had to wear one, that way I’d always be prepared for the beach/pool!

She’s 1/7th scale so pretty big and just out for pre-order around 7,800 yen, she’ll be release sometime this June. You’ll be able to find her for pre-order at any one of these fine bootleg free retailers!

Max Factory 1/6 Kousaka Tamaki

Dancing Queen — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:03:03 +0000

Kousaka Tamaki, a figure I love so much, and guess what! You get your own copy soon! We’ll be doing a giveaway soon, but first I have to send out the figures from the last giveaway as well as the items that everyone purchased a while back. With all my troubles going on it’s been hard to get time to go to the post office and send out the packages! Sorry to everyone that I’m taking so long!

Tamaki is one of those characters that has tons of figures out and while I’ve never seen To Heart 2 and know nothing of her character but she is a cutie!

When I first saw pictures of Tamaki I knew i had to own her, she was just so adorable and I do love my Max Factory figures!

She’s got some huge boobs, poor girl has to hold them up, they must be so heavy! From my own personal experience they are pretty heavy, I bet she can’t run either, I can’t really run, unless I want more black eyes.

But that face! How could I not get her! Just right after she arrives at my doorstep I get an e-mail from Hobby Search that they are sending her to me for a giveaway, you guys are so spoiled!

Poor girl must have been caught while changing out of her uniform, but then she doesn’t seem to unhappy about it.

She’s got some practice covering up the nipples if you ask me, I bet you 50% of the girls out there wouldn’t be able to post like this without a little nip slip if they didn’t position themselves just perfectly!

Some very cute pink undies, I always love how they give the underwear just the right amount of tightness, you can see how it digs into her butt just a little, most girls wear their underwear like that for some reason, I myself am very guilty of that fact!

Oh love those thigh highs! Totally wish I could find a good pair of white ones that aren’t so sheer, most of the white ones you find here in the US look really sheer and kinda slutty…

She’s got some amazing legs, she could give Yoko a run for her money with this body, I wonder how amazing Tamaki would look if she cosplayed Yoko. Hmm is there any crossover fanart?

See even look at her stomach, she has that little bit of a pooch, how come it looks amazing on Tamaki and Yoko but on me it doesn’t look as nice

Oops, seems poor girl feel over, my camera must have went off while I was helping her back up.

Goodness do I adore this face!

I love how they even painted her nails and gave so much attention to her fingernails! It’s that attention to detail that I love about Mac Factory figures!

The moment I laid eyes on Tamaki I knew I had to own her, Max Factory is always up there in my book among my favorite figure companies out there and they are always exceeding my expectations of amazing figures. Are you a fan of fine quality stunning figures? Then Tamaki is for you! Are you a fan Tamaki herself? Then why don’t you own a copy of her already! The giveaway is coming up soon, It’ll involve The Indecent Otaku Comedy Show we did at Anime Expo but this you didn’t have to be at the actual show to be able to participate! Detailed coming soon, but for now I need to get a million things in order at home first before I can give you all amazing figures! But if you can’t wait make sure to get your copy of Tamaki before she sells out!

-Figure Info-

Loaned Figures; Real Image Yoko

Dancing Queen — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:58:13 +0000

The Loaned Figures series continues! This time it’s a figure that I must get my hands on! A figure that even with my obsession of Yoko I was apprehensive on getting her myself but all those worries have melted away with seeing her in person!

Real Image Yoko by Max Factory, a figure that i saw and said YUCK! I didn’t like her face, her body proportions at all! I felt that i might get her and have her in the background of my wall of Yoko figures.

Yet seeing her in person I’m blown away completely! I feel that I just didn’t give this Yoko a chance when she really deserved a chance from me!

I first felt her face was awkward, but now seeing her in the flesh, her eyes are my favorite part! They just are so bright and so sexy! Something just makes you want to look at her and nothing else!

The glasses look amazing and you change it out by changing out her hair piece, which is good so that way you don’t just lose a little piece!

I also have to say her body is killer! While it would obviously have to be since she’s Yoko, the real life proportions make her look even better!

Makes you feel that this is what someone would look like if they cosplayed her well!

Very nice under boob for the boys!

Great legs!

Love how she holds the gun! Also love how you don’t have to put the gun in her hands, I’ve broken my fair share of guns trying to get them into the right place!

I definitely need this Yoko for my Yoko collection! She’s so stunning and amazing and for sure a MUST GET for any fan of Yoko!

-Figure Info-
Manufactured by Max Factory
1/6 Scale

Get your hands on this Yoko as well! She’s too stunning to pass up!
