Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce that Needa Schuetlitch is full cast off ^o^
Needa Schuetlitch (click to enlarge)
So I've been spending a lot of time with Good Smile lately and was in their offices again yesterday.
Needa Schuetlitch (click to enlarge)
Whenever I'm with the Good Smile folks, I always seem to utter the name "Needa" in each sentence I spoke for some reason.

They concluded that the only way to remedy my symptom was to pull out the master cast copy and let me play about with it ^o^
Needa Schuetlitch (click to enlarge)
Just a quick reminder that the final version will look slightly different from this.
Needa Schuetlitch (click to enlarge)
I couldn't remove the clothing on the back for the master cast without breaking her ^^;
The final version will obviously have fully removable clothing though.

Isn't she the only person that you'd love to be stabbed by?
Needa Schuetlitch (click to enlarge)
Hypnotic eyes. Yamashita Shunya is the man!

Was a great surprise to find out about the castoff functionality - her clothes didn't look removable at the Wonfes show.

The cast-off on figures in a very interesting(and fun GIHAGIHA)option, but not esential, I think...

Needa is simply amaizing. Can`t wait to get her, maybe the best figure of the Shunya Yamashita series at the moment..?

I think the problem with a lot of castoffs is that they rely on this for sales. Needa looks great though! I was never really into figures before going to this site. I have to say I prefer her with the massive hand cannon. So... what does she do with that hand when its not holding a weapon?

If you can guarantee to sell 5000 units then I will ask ^^

I think it's something about skin tone and lips, but this looks to be the closest figure yet to Shunya's style.

As far as cast off's go, I appreciate them, but they always leave me wanting to buy multiples.

Man, the shading (or blushing?) on her face just brings it out so much. Hopefully it'll be there on the mass produced figure. Her underwear is also pretty sweet!

Wow, that figure was kinda ok when i first saw it, but for the first time ever, a cast off has convinced me its worth getting! 
She looks awesome in that lingerie - nice and classy, detailed and the colour goes with her hair. Id probably keep her like that, though her uniform is pretty damn snazzy.
I also prefer the knife pose too, as big guns on chicks bore me these days.

This one has just become a definate buy. Ill be keeping my eyes on my regular shop for pre-orders appearing!


Nice to see youre getting chummy with GoodSmile. Stepping ever closer to the mirai figure?

hmm she looks really awesome already but!  Call me shallow or perverted, but I'm a little disappointed that she doesn't show as much skin/undergarments  as the other figures when her clothes are tattered!  lol

It would have been neat if instead of the bottom part of her shirt being ragged, if maybe her shirt were slashed open instead, showing a little bit of cleavage.

In any case I still have the figure preordered!

Being from the US, i fully appreciate the "cast off" feature, our country is so uptight about this kind of stuff.
I think a womans body is a thing of beauty and i wish i could find more statues and such here that show the nude female form but all we have are horrible looking resin figures and so-so looking statues.
I am also an artist so i appreciate the work that went into making the beautiful anime figures that i have been collecting for a while now and no, i have not counted how many i have so far.
