Queens Blade Airi

If scythe wielding maids tickle your fancy then Airi from the Queens Blade series is your perfect tickling partner.
Apparently Airi takes on the form of a human and is some sort of spirit. She absorbs the spirits of other humans in order to remain in this world.
The base that she comes on looked odd at first - makes it look like shes floating. Read up a bit on her and realized that she actually floats in mid air ^^;
According to the Queens Blade site, her favorite past time is dancing. Would love to do a Tokyo Dance Trooper with Scythe wielding Maid.
The paint work and sculpt is gorgeous.
She comes with a huge removable scythe which you can use to pick your nose or bottom.
Airi is full cast off as you will see from the photos at the end of the review. If you are buying this figure, make sure to remove her clothing (you need to remove the plastic sheets underneath the clothing) and wipe off the lubricant from the inside of her garments. If you don't then you will find that paint starts to rub off on the inside of her garments.
Airi is the second figure I now have from the Queens Blade series - the other one being Tomoe.
Only decided to buy after seeing the review pics at Foo Bar Baz. Glad I made the purchase as this is a gorgeous figure.
This one in the wallpaper pool.
And now for the cast off pics...
If you are not familiar with the Nose Bleed Tool then register and you will be able to enjoy proper nose bleeds without the Mirai mark.

As you can see from the rest of the pics, Airi has a gorgeous three set.
Have a look for this item on one of the recommended online dealers.

while she looks amazing, i'd be worried about the paint problem that happened with the other figure from the same series. I try and stay away from figures of series i don't know of but if i do ever find her for a decent price i might pick her up solely for the cast off feature...

Dancing Queen, The inside of her clothes are white so it should be OK - paint rubbing off her skin is a worry though but not the other way round.

she looks evil since the scythe reminds me of the grim reaper lol but she is pretty at the same time

There's so many characters coming from the Queens Blade series that I keep lose track @_@ Airi sure does look nice from the pics, but starting to collect the whole series would be impossible...

Simply magnificent.

Pretty cute and love the chickerbees. My favourite part was "She comes with a huge removable scythe which you can use to pick your nose or bottom" ... hahaha!
(ID #70208) Posted on 2008/01/20 07:26
wow, it was a nice figure, cute ^^. Nice paint job and nice sculpt.
(ID #70209) Posted on 2008/01/20 07:30
I think I'll get this one. I'll look for her when I'm in Asia. I like the detail in her eyes (the ones on her face). Very expressive. They didn't paint the little bow on her pansu though. For shame...
(ID #70210) Posted on 2008/01/20 07:57
ya, like Airi a lot.. waiting for mine to arrive from HLJ :) Just a bit worried she can't fit into my display cabinet if I attach her scythe
(ID #70211) Posted on 2008/01/20 08:02
A maid with cast off AND a Scythe? Fantastic. Now my gf has a new character to dress up as.... for halloween I mean.. I swear.
(ID #70212) Posted on 2008/01/20 08:32
Already paid 5000 en to HLJ. Awaiting for them to ship to me. Thanks Danny for the tip on wiping off the lubricant. Cant wait to get her and strip her off..muakakakakakaka
(ID #70213) Posted on 2008/01/20 09:00
HELL YEAH! Would be a better option. :P Nice, and great tip also captain!

First I was a little sceptical about this one...thought the scythe was too short. But now that I've seen these pics, my fancy feels tickles XD

At first I didn't care much about this figure but the way her body is sculpted is something else ^^
(ID #70218) Posted on 2008/01/20 10:19

Figure looks great! Megahouse sure knows how to sculpt eyes. I'm waiting for this char to be made into a figure: http://queensblade.net/character/char_003.php But I'm considering Airi now that my fancy has been tickled ^^
(ID #70224) Posted on 2008/01/20 13:34
The sculpting is fantastic. Definitely need to get this one.
(ID #70226) Posted on 2008/01/20 13:50
I dunno. Like I admit the body sculpt is fabulous, but I just can't appeal myself to her facial/head design.

Confession time! I joined dannychoo.com because I am an otaku and wanted to learn more about Japan and it's culture... And I also joined because of the Mirai marks(ulterior motive) LOL! The figure is nicely sculpted, just wow...
(ID #70229) Posted on 2008/01/20 14:16
yes indeed! they did a great job with the coloring and the sclupting. yes i would buy it, is nicely done!
(ID #70233) Posted on 2008/01/20 15:00
Other than Florette Harvenheit and Himeno Fumi, how many other scythe wielding maids are there. Although 3 are already too much.

I like this one, but I don't know. Just something about it doesn't do much for me.

Very nice, this is the other Queens Blade figure that I wanted, yet I have already set myself back enough with ordering Queens Blade Shizuka. Very nice though.

I had absolutely no questions about wanting this figure. Knowing it would be cast of was a plus but that big ass blade was a must have.

hmm, doesn't really do much for me. None of the queens blade figures gave me a "must have" feel but Nyx was SEX!! I was really close to ordering one of those...

Airi is the perfect fetish tickler for me lolz XDDD that's a gorgeous figure and i might get one (provided that my finances grant me lolz)
(ID #70251) Posted on 2008/01/21 04:10
Awesome, can't wait until it comes out along with Nyx... Anyway, Danny, do you just wipe off the lubricant in the clothes with just regular tissue or with some special stuff?...and did you ever fix the Tomoe paint rub off problem? Thanks in advance...

Once again, disregarding the cast off feature, you make another figure stand out to my fancy. Whew, I'm actually considering this...

Well, well, I already have this one, and her pair, Nix,for two weeks and only one thing to say again: If you love girls with weapons(more big, the best), you MUST get Airi. Damn, not only her, all the collection for Megahouse Queens Blade are super, getting better ever time!!

Sexy figure...but there's something bout it that makes me hold of in buying one. Can't seem to point it out. *argh*
(ID #70458) Posted on 2008/01/23 17:36
i just got this and it seems like it is the hardest out of all the figures to take off her clothes. Do you have any tips? everytime i put it on or take it off, the upper dress' right shoulder seems to be stretching. its sooo hard since only the right side is the detachable side. thanks

ravnel, Sorry for the late reply. I cut the back of her top garment which is hidden away - easy to cast off.
(ID #70874) Posted on 2008/01/28 06:50
Do you mind taking a picture and showing me how you did it? I dont want to make a mistake and damage this figure. Thanks a lot

Hi there! I got this figure too (just arrived from HLJ). Oh my... Ravnel was right, the top is so tight to take off and put on. Hmm.. I think Danny met to cut the part of the left between her arm and ears. Although I don't know where you'll get plugs to keep the sleeve together. X_x Otherwise... she's perfect. =D Highly recommneded

In my Case, This Figure was really expected since the first time I Saw some Photos in the WF Summer 07, This Figures is More beautiful than Nix. But The Huge problem wasn´t the paint, in my case, is Xtremely difficult take off the the Top, With Reina the Procces was kind of Tired to fixed the parts then. But The Really difficult Situation with this Figure is that trying to take off the Top part, I don´t know how but the paint of one of the nipples removes...... :( MegaHouse great Fgures Quality is getting Dirrty for this Kind Of Problem, now I am Sad. :(

Oh yum, her skin looks gorgeous and I love the folds in her panties. Wished for a long time for a figure of her to come out, and now seeing this photoshoot I'll definitly buy her <3
