i guess i know what my next im@s figurine will be...

[DeviantProtagonist]

You mean 13, but this is awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on Chihaya and Ritsuko, especially -- very casual, classy designs overall.

i already have iori preordered, might get others depending on how they turn out, miki, chihaya and makotos poses look like theyd turn out the best, i love haruka too so i might just get her too even tho her pose is abit boring haha.

edit: actually i like yukihos pose too lol, ill just end up getting the whole line at this point, my poor wallet

So I noticed that in Iori's preview images, the metal bar that I suppose is meant to hold her up from the stand is tilted and that the photos are positioned in a manner to prevent any pantyshots... I think that pose is going to look a tad strange when actually upright. To say nothing of what Makoto's is going to look like... is she gonna be lying on the stand, floating upside-down or what?! I bet floating upside-down though, if they're to be such "faithful reproductions" (this is going off of Google Translate).
I'm guessing the Futamis are going to be a singular figurine too for the same reason.

In any case, I do like what I see so far, especially Hibiki's (it definitely keeps the energy of the original illustration, and the miniature Hamuzou - or "ham storehouse" according to Google Translate - is a very nice touch).

Looking at the pictures, its a dang good-looking figurine. I think my favorite parts of it are the logo on the back of her jacket and (as pervy as this sounds) the bra underneath her shirt. Its attention to detail like that that isn't particularly needed, but when implemented I can definitely appreciate the overall design a lot more than I already can. A very well-done job overall.

Stream preview, painted Miki.

I bought Iori. It's actually a pretty heavy figure, I was surprised. I'll probably get a couple others depending on how the poses turn out.

[DeviantProtagonist]

pretty heavy

S-sh-shhh~! Not so loud! D:

/tights Well, that answers that.
Where is the weight focused in the figurine, though? Since I'm thinking that maybe it's heavy near the base of it so she can stay upright
