Yay Chopper! So many requests as well to review chopper, since i’ve only seen about 3 episodes of One Piece, again I know nothing of Chopper. But i can tell you he’s pretty cute and is some form of a moose? Not sure, heck I’m not even bothering with Wiki for this one!

So then, he’s a moose who’s little and wears a hat, jacket, backpack and pants. Ok I think he’s officially awesome! He’s even so awesome that he doesn’t need a shirt with that jacket, I mean most guys look douchey with just a jacket and no shirt, but Chopper pulls it off quite nicely.

Such a happy face! Doesn’t he just scream hug me? Well at least he does to me, if I saw someone weird moose walking around being this happy and badass then yeah he’d deserve a hug!

His jacket reminds me of Micheal Jackson’s Beat It Jacket. Heck I think I need a red lather jacket now…

aww even is backpack is adorable!

So chopper is pretty adorable, size wise he’s about a little bigger then a Nendoroid but not poseable like one, I would think that he’d be a good candidate for a Nendoroid since you wouldn’t have to mess with his design that much, plus changing faces would be pretty cool. While Chopper is adorable, I won’t be running out to buy him for my own collection. However if I were a One Piece fan I’d be a failure as a fan if I didn’t own a few Choppers. I know there are different variants of Chopper but knowing Megahouse they are all just as amazing as this Chopper!

So it seems I owe you a few figure reviews, I can’t blame lack of figures since over a month ago my friend let me visit her place and photograph a huge amount of her One Piece figures. Plus a few other people have lent me a boat load of figures to review and I still have tons of Touhou figures to review as well! Things are still a bit crazy here but since I’ve got a spare minute I figured I might as well post this review for you all!

Ever since I did those past One Piece figure reviews I keep having people tell me I need to review Franky. That if I wanted a male figure that could cast off and be shirtless then I needed Franky. Well I can see why now! Franky here is a very outrageous figure for sure!

He’s got some huge Popeye arms for sure! He’s sure been eating his spinach! A-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah!

Are his arms supposed to be hairy? I’d assume so since I’ve never seen him in the anime… I’m still pretty behind, i started watching One Piece but only got through 3 episodes.

My friend did metion that his arms are machines or something of that nature, you can see the bolts on his shoulder and his hands come of too.

At first I thought his nose was covered in sunblock but then i realized it’s a metal nose! Plus I only realized now that his chin has three points to it! That’s gotta be a pain to shave in the morning!

He does have the best hair I’ve ever seen, if you can rock those badass sideburns and a pompadour and if your hair is blue? You’re a badass in my book!

Wouldn’t want to get into a fight with Franky but for sure his abs are pretty amazing! I now a few guys who would kill for those kinda abs! For me I’m not a fan of the huge buff guys, I prefer a lean buff like Bruce Lee.

Some cool star tattoos, but still won’t be as cool as Kamina’s Tattoos!

strange how only the lower part of his leg has so much hair, we all know that if he were really hairy his feet would be hairy too as well as his thigh! But then he’s an anime character, we can’t always expect them to be looking exactly like a real person would.

oops! his arm fell off! maybe from all his drinking! So this Franky is actually a pretty cool figure, the only issue I saw with him that my friend deals with is that he doesn’t really fit too well on his base, he’s a legitimate figure but for some reason he just doesn’t want to stick his right foot into the begs like he should. Maybe he’s just too stubborn? Other than that he’s really well made and is a show piece in any collection. If i collected One Piece figures he for sure would be a figure I’d own.

What? I got more One Piece figures to review? It seems another friend saw all my last set of One Piece figure reviews and felt that we needed more! So we’ve got more! It seems that no one really cared whether or not I did my reviews in sets or mixed them up. Really i only had a few people mention their feelings but I figure I’ll try and mix them up in case someone doesn’t like One Piece they won’t stop coming since I’d pretty much be spamming them with One Piece. Ok on to the review!

Wow, so I guess his name isn’t spelt with an S. again not sure of the character. So go found out for yourself! Geeze i don’t know everything! STOP EXPECTING SO MUCH FROM ME! *runs away crying* Ok so really again I’m only here to give my review on the figure as in quality and stuff. you know that important stuff you wanna hear about. Yeah! That stuff! (i really need to stop writing these so late at night.) Well is has muscles! Bit sexy muscles! Heck look at his arm here! Sexy!

Oh Noes! His arm is on FIRE! Ok yeah I don’t know what’s going on with his arm, but that thing is a pain in the butt and kept falling off! I guess if you had him sitting on a shelf or glass case it wouldn’t be too much of an issue but every time i moved him to get a different angle, off it came! I do like the colors, I love the fade from red to orange back to red. Also he’s kinda sexy there shirtless.

Big knife on his belt, also who makes a weird belt in the middle of their pants? Would that even work? Wouldn’t it like weigh down the pants and make them fall off? Maybe it’s just magic anime clothes. Talking with my friend who makes all my cosplays she was mentioning how so many anime clothing designs would just NEVER work in the real world. But then that’s the beauty of Anime!

Nice big back tattoo, somehow it just looks too clean and sticker like. I’ve seen some better tattoo work on figures before but then in person it looks better.

He’s got some David Bowie buldge going on. Which is actually one of my favorite movies ever. Ok so for the serious part. Ace is a pretty good figure. Nothing over spectacular, would i run out and get him? Nah, but then I’m not a huge One Piece fan (yet) maybe if I ever become a huge fan then I’ll be sure to run out and try to get my hands on him. He’s really a great figure, but unless you’re a fan nothing I’d say you MUST OWN! But a One Piece fan would be ashamed not to own him.

Nanel has got to be my favorite out of all the Queen’s Blade girls i’ve seen so far. While she is in a pretty revealing outfit as well there is something cute and endearing about this figure that I really love. If there would be any figure from Queen’s Blade that I would get it would be Nanael!

Such a sweet smile, this face is what I love the most about this figure, with Menace we saw that even a cute face can’t save you and if the rest isn’t pretty that it just won’t work.

She has a little white dress that seems like it just wouldn’t hold anything up top up but she rocks in and still looks awesome. I love the small blue details and how it brings out so much more with the rest of her white outfit.

She is a tad bit bulky with her clothes on but then it doesn’t add too much to her size and instead makes her look better in my opinion.

Love her little hair clip, small detail that I hadn’t noticed before until I looked at her carefully for this shoot and to review her.

Love her wings! I love the coloring they did for them and that the shading is a light blue so it ties in with the rest of this figure!

Polka dot panties! How can you not love this girl! seems that leg band is gonna end up cutting circulation off her toes any minute now.

Just couldn’t help myself, it’s such a nice view!

the seam along the side so she can become cast-off a little too wide with that gap but then she’s not mean to be displayed showing that side so it’s not something I’d mark against.

She can hold her sword but she also comes with something so it can appear to hover beside her, I prefer it on the hover thing on not in her hands.

When in her hands it seems to block too much of her overall body and shape. Next pictures AREN’T SAFE FOR WORK!

Not too big and a good shape, I like a big sized pair but when they are huge melons like Menace I think it gets distracting.

Poor girl, must be pretty cold without her clothes on!

I wish they would also come with a bra attachment, she’d be cute in just her undies and I wouldn’t mind displaying her in bra and panties, plus a polka dot matching bra would be pretty adorable!

The metal boots are so well detailed and really look like metal, I just wonder how comfortable that must be, I’d imagine it would just hurt all to hell!

But she seems happy enough in her metal boots to care, plus when you can fly I guess you wouldn’t bother walking much anyways!

The shading on her body is done really well too, I like the little curve on her inner thigh where her left leg bends up right before the panties, it’s so realistic to have that there!

I do think they are well shaped and realistic for a young character, any older and flying around like that they’ll be around her knees in no time!

Again with the behind panty shot, I just really liked that angle with this figure!

I really loved Nanael, I’m sad to have to return her and see her go. She’s one of those types of figures that while I may know nothing of the show or character, or even like the show I really like the figure. She’s well detailed and made very well, I don’t see any major flaws and if I see her anywhere for sale I’d snag her up!

Menace here is one of the most vulgar figures I’ve ever had in my presence. Not something I would have ever bought myself in a million years, again a reason why I’m enjoying getting these samples to review. I would never have reviewed her because I never would have bought her. Yes this review is not safe for work at all!

She has such an adorable face but some melons and just the nastiest looking… hmm how should i put it delicately? Panty area? Cooch? Vaginal place? I’m sorry but in such a pose it’s hard not to stare and it’s not pretty at all!

The huge melons she has are just a little over the top in my opinion. Plus there is almost no coverage especially for a figure collector like me who while I don’t mind cast off figures that show off everything I still like my ladies to be at least slightly modest and cover up a little bit.

I do love the shawl that goes around her shoulders but i did find that it liked to pop of with the slightest movement and it didn’t always maintain it’s alignment so as you see here there are some parts that just pop open and ruin the illusion.

Gosh I’m sorry but this seriously just bothers me. It’s not even the pose, but the sculpt and how little underwear there is. I have my fair share of figures where the underwear is uber exposed down there but never so much as this. Its not even sexy! Well at least I don’t think so, what about you guys? What do you think? Sexy or just too much? Be honest!

If only they came with a version that was much more covered, because otherwise her face is just lovely and so cute! I love the open mouthed smile with just a little bit of teeth showing! But why ruin it with the abundant over-sexuality?

She has an interesting sceptor, I liked the detail and the paint job, it felt like a really well made accessory for her.

Jeeze! These huge Melons are just too much for me!

Again what do you think boys? Also what do you think girls? Too much?

I do like her base, it has one peg and then molds around her heel, I do worry about possible breakage, does anyone own her and have they had an issues?

As mentioned, not a figure I would buy. Heck if someone gave her to me I’d promptly do a giveaway because she’s not a figure I would feel comfortable displaying. I love my figures, I love cast off, I appreciate the female form, but this just seems to go to a point that bothers me so much. I’m not really sure why other than the bottom part and how it’s just too much for my taste. If she’s your type of figure then by all means, She’s well detailed and painted really well. She also does have a very sweet face. But body wise not my cup of tea at all!

Annelotte here is just stunning, a lovely figure and how I wish I could keep her! Lovely flowing black hair, piercing red eyes, and the blue lips just add something special to this girl. Another Queen’s Blade figure review and again i know nothing of her character! To my understanding as well this isn’t her natural color scheme and is a second version of her. But I must say i prefer this version to the original. Be forwarned this post is not safe for work, but then what Queen’s Blade figure is?

There is something just so sexy about her face, the look she has in her eyes that just seems to draw you in, she strikes me as a temptress but also a badass, who wouldn’t be in so much armor?

If she part elf at all? If so I know my brother would also be loving this figure!

While I love her clothing it is a bit bulky on her and makes her seem much larger than she really is. Next pictures aren’t safe for work!

Some very large ladies, not sure if I’m a fan of their overall shape, but I do love her figure and i love her panties. The cute purple with a little bit of lace, very sexy!

I’m a huge fan of the ruffle too! So cute!

This is one of the rare figures that I like much more without her clothes on that with her clothes. They seem to add a bit too much bulk to her frame.

Now that I think about it I think I own a pair that look almost exactly like that!

They really are a bit too big and just a little too perky for any realism factor, but then again when do any of these characters have a body that any woman could compare to, well any natural woman.

Sometimes i wonder if i frustrate the guys when i compare the PVC boobies to real ones. I just feel that sometimes It’d be nice to get some realism but even then not all women are built the same and some women do have large perky ones. I just hope you guys understand that unless you like the yucky fake ones you won’t ever see natural ones look that round and perfect. In actuality most women’s breasts aren’t the same size, but the difference is very slight for most so you can’t really tell. Well back to Annelotte, she’s stunning and truly  figure worth your collection. My only complaint which you cant see in this pictures is she does seem to have a weird angle and i fear she might lean one day. Do you own Annelotte and does she lean?

Phew! Done with the One Piece figure reviews, at least for now. Maybe I might get my hands on some more! But for now it’s to a completely different kind of series! Queen’s Blade! First up is Airi, again I don’t know much about Queen’s Blade, I could get my brother who loves the series to explain to me the characters, but he’s so long winded I’ll forget by the time I’m finished writing this post! Do you like Queen’s Blade? Maybe after this giveaway the next might be a figure from Queen’s Blade! From cute to sexy!

Airi is really cute, one of the cuter characters from Queen’s Blade. Most of them tend to just be crazy raunchy sexy yet Airi here can pose for cute/badass with her huge weapons! Who doesn’t love a maid who can also kick your butt?

She has such a cute face and some brilliant green eyes, really just the best part of her face are those big eyes that just draw you in.

Love the smile as well, I love when figures show a little teeth!

She is cast off so of course there will be a few pictures that are cast off soon, start turning back if you’re at work.

Nice view of her back, love the detail on her outfit but the ribbon on her back just loves to fall off!

Next picture is very Not Safe For Work! Turn away now if you are uncomfortable with PVC nipples.

Something i like very much with this figure, I’ve seen far too often a figure’s breasts not really move the way they would if they were real, what i like here is how the left breasts is slightly higher since her arm is raised up over her head. They really do move that way and knowing that they took that into consideration gives them bonus points from me.

Overall Airi here is cute, a little plain but I’d get her even when I’m so picky on my collection. Not sure if she’d be a favorite but she’s pretty cute. I would also leave her fully dressed as well. I have no problem with cast-off figures, actually I love them, but I’m still a modest woman and I leave my ladies being modest as well! Would I recommend her? Well to my knowledge lots of people already have her and she seems to be a staple in every figure collectors collection. Well sculpted and well detailed. She’s a great figure.

Monkey D. Luffy, the main character from One Piece, but then that’s obvious! I adore this version of him, seems much more mature even thought I really don’t know much about his character just yet. I guess I’d be safe to assume that he’s older in this version than in the beginning, unless the series sometimes goes back in time…

I might have to say, out of all the figures, there are two I loved the most. Mr. 2 and Monkey here. Something about him exudes badassness. Love the dress shirt with the tie not tied tight.

He’s got a pretty badass gun as well, we all know the big guns make you cool right?

His arm twists around so he can hold the gun or hold his hat.

Nice pants, love the folds in the short and the pants and how it really looks like he’s wearing the clothes.

The hat almost seems awkward on him in this outfit, but then he felt like he was missing something without it.

I also really liked his jacket, didn’t really take many pictures of his jacket sadly. Sometimes I take pictures then later realize in the review that I didn’t get many other shots that would show you more of the detail with this figure. I try and make sure this doesn’t happen but sadly from time to time I slip up. So I guess you’ll have to trust me that Luffy is a really awesome figure. He’s well detailed and if you like this version I’d say get it.

Second to last with these One Piece figure reviews. Are you tired of them or want more? Only one left now, Can you guess who’s left? There are a ton of One Piece characters in this show and it seems I’m missing only one so far. Next after this series is a bit of a change with some very sexy ladies! Those will be fun!

I’ve only seen two episodes of One Piece, but in those two episodes I already know I like this character. He seemed like a badass who deep down was just a good guy, those are the best kind of characters!

So many characters have backpacks! What is with this show and bags? At they trying to maybe start a line of backpacks?

Nice detail on the handle but does one person need that many swords?

Like the scar, did I mention scars are sexy? But only battle scars, so get to fighting boys!

Such nice muscles!

The earrings aren’t that cool, at ;east i never thought earrings on a guy looked cool. Sorry all you dudes out there with earrings, it’s not cool. You know whats even not cooler? The giant holes in ears that people do lately! Omg they are super gross!

He’s a really well detailed figure, and one I would own mainly because I liked the character. But he is also a strong looking male figure, those are lacking in my collection of mostly cute girl figures.I do have a question. Why can’t we girls get cast off too? Can’t get get a version where we can take off his shirt? Now that might be pretty sexy and totally a figure I’d like to own! Sadly since they want to sell them to the guys and they wouldn’t like that I doubt we’ll ever see male figures that you can take off all their clothes to only the underwear or more! If you were a guy would you get a cast off figure of a male character? What if the figure was super badass and no one would know about the cast off unless they came and played with it. What about you girls? Would you like a cast off figure of the boys?
