The limited edition 1/8 scale Kotobukiya Erika Sendo from the eroge Fortune Arterial desu.
Quite a fan of Erika - our development server is named after her and our central build tool is called Arterial ^^;
Overall quality of this figure is good - the face is cute but doesn't capture the original illustrations look of Erika - Moe Imouto has a load of yummy images of her for you to compare.
What do you do with figures that are good quality but didn't turn out quite as expected in terms of looking like the original character?

Was struggling to get good pics due to the depth of her pose.
The teacup n saucer are removable for you to place other daily objects in her hands - but be careful as you may permanently injure your dolphin.
Paintwork and sculpt around the jacket is particularly good.
Skirt is cast-offable and she can be removed from the beanbag so that you can sit her in your lap while sitting on the bus on the way to work/school.
Her socks are also removable too but you need to remove them with paint thinner.
The tea that she comes with is a brand called PG Tips which is popular back in the UK. When I visit the UK, I would stock up on the PG Tips which would last me throughout the year and folks visiting from the UK would bring me loads too - running very low of late and don't know when I'll be in the UK next - panic ^^;

Lovely pair of thighs.
kawaii pantsu. Another word for pantsu is "Opanchu."
I still much prefer this kit of Erika that I spotted at the Wonfes - would give a lot to get my grubby mitts on one of those.
Erika retails for 6,800 yen batteries not included.
Caption that photo.
I completely forgot to pre-order this and by the time I remembered she had sold out *eve...(more)

I think she looks great, but I'm really hoping that open-shirt Erika Sendo kit from WonFes makes it into PVC form. (http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/5982/Erika+Sendo.html) My only complaint about this figure is the large seam on her behind.

She looks like a really nice figure. I can see how it might be difficult to get a decent picture due to the pose. Though I think that I like figures in more every day type of poses.

I like the way this figure poses, Its very casual and carefree. Seems more realistic that way in my eyes, much better than an action pose in my opinion. Granted some action poses are awesome too. Oh and maybe its just me but I really like the way the eyes look. Upper eyes...

I totally agree with you, but my favourite part is her legs. They're really well done and extremely sexy!

haha thanks ^^ Glad I could spread some laughter with this one :D I thought this was pretty good myself, if I do say so myself ^^; Usually when I see caption opportunities I always see some really good ones that crush my own ideas, hands down haha. Too bad Danny hasn't decided on a figure giveaway method yet though (T_T) lol

I like this one ^^ hope that amazon or play-asia have some so I could buy one.

Yeah, I saw that figure at Wonfes, I'll definitly be picking it up when I get my new apartment.
(ID #281809) Posted on 2008/08/28 16:15
This figure looks pretty normal as far as I can tell, not much detail, Except for what is hidden under her cast-off skirt. They really seem to have put all of the detail work into her "opanchu" like nice shading, and texture that the rest of the figure seems to lack. Whats up with that?
(ID #281819) Posted on 2008/08/28 16:18
A nice figure, as usual, and some of the captions are... xd About figures that are not as I expected, I keep them on display, maybe not in the place were I planed for them, but in display.
(ID #281846) Posted on 2008/08/28 16:35
Nice figure, too bad it didn't turn out the way you wanted ^^; She should have been full cast off D :<

Erika has some delicious thighs *drools* but same as with you Danny, I prefer to have my grubby and dirty hands on that WonFes Erika XDDD I don't know...Kotobukiya makes some nice fraulien revoltech figures but this one is a so-so
(ID #281943) Posted on 2008/08/28 18:09
I wanted this figure when I was in Japan a two weeks ago. Sadly it was a costly figure. I was thinking of purcahsing her but I was unable to due to my debit card problem. I'll have to find an alterative way to find it...

Very cute, too bad it's only limited. Although the open shirt kit is also particularly nice. Hmzzz, I really need to start getting inspiration for captions, because with my current ideas (=none) I'll never win the caption contest ^^

Stunning detail! Did everyone see the gragon motif painted on her sock top? Now that's special^_^

" The teacup n saucer are removable for you to place other daily objects in her hands - but be careful as you may permanently injure your dolphin." I wonder what's this suppose to mean, any ideas hmmm Danny?

I love how this figure sits comfortably on a sofa~ the details on the emblem on her left chest are nicely embossed rather than just painted on. ^_^ The other Erika kit(at the Wonfes) looks nice too~ D:
(ID #282048) Posted on 2008/08/28 20:26
I like it. It's always a battle for me, picking what figures I want to purchase. When I'm at a store like Kotobukiya, I could be there all day staring at them, checking every single detail.

"Her socks are also removable too but you need to remove them with paint thinner. " So i am guessing we need paint to put the socks back on?

Aww, that's so cute. But my parents would probably flip at the sight of her seductive pose when I decide to buy her... Up until now even my girl cousins have an evil eye towards my Meer Campbell Figure.. Caption: Lelouch; I wonder if my Geass can work on "other things" with the magnification of a camera... Kyon; Don't even try... (Meh, corny...)

I prefer the sculpt from the wonderfestival Erika but the pose is very 1 dimensional, with very few photo points. Easy enough to paint tho, Maybe I should get one and see how much Danny is 'really' willing to pay for one... As for Tea, I'm much more into my Twinings. Afternoon tea to be precise.
(ID #282177) Posted on 2008/08/28 23:47
Erika is cute but her face looks kinda chubby, maybe that's just me. As for the caption: Kyon: "Stop trying to steal my job!" Lulouch: "No way! Where else I get paid to film cute girls AND pantsu?"

Lovely figure. Erika looks very cute. Its well done and I hardly would try to return it if she isnt as expected..

trying to stay relevant
Those old PG Tips ads were brilliant. "Dad, do you know the piano's on my foot?" "You 'um it son, I'll play it" No-one writes lines like that anymore. I thought I'd seen another version of that Erika which was much nicer, and I was right - its a kit. Sadly I don't buy kits now...
(ID #282233) Posted on 2008/08/29 00:53

For figures that are sort of meh on arrival, I used to display them, but now that space is a problem, I just leave them in the box. I have a few that have only been out of their box long enough for me to say, yuck and put them back.
