Queens Gate Alice

Started to panic after seeing reviews of this Queens Gate Alice figure over at FooBarBaz and Happy Soda. I didnt pre-order and by the time I started to look for her, she had sold out on all online Japanese stores...
Luckily comrades at Benippon had one left in stock. When there is a will, there is a way ^^
This figure is just incredible. The maker is Alpha Omega and is distributed by Mega House who I was very surprised to hear is owned by Bandai.
Never did have a fetish for girls with tails but been watching anime long enough for it to become an acquired taste.
Love how one side of her pantsu is in need of adjustment.
The paint work s just incredible.
Attention to detail is awesome too. Hats off to the folks who handled production and quality control.
You can see some of Alice in action over at Moe Imouto.
If you have a review of Alice too, feel free to leave a link in the comments to share.
One of my fave shots. Added to the Wallpaper pool.
Check the details on her guns.
Its cast off time. The censor function has not been automated so if you don't like looking at bare naked eyes then please turn away.
And a quick mini Figma Theater.
Spinzaku and Lulu have been working with a few girls on thier AV videos.
Today's girl is Alice.

Lulu cant resist anymore and reaches out while filming. He tries to use the Geass on himself - "Do not want!" he says but its already too late.
Spinzaku: "How many times have I told you not to touch the goods while filming?"
The end.
The end.
Alice has moved up being my second fave figure - Fauna still at the number one spot. Her genki pose and smile is just gorgeous.
Kureha is third place. Her innocent soothing expression is breathtaking.
The Freeing Asakura has appeared in my top 10 fave - more pics of her at the official Good Smile site in Danny's Corner.
Your fave figure is which and why?

Indeed!

As expected, this has to be one of the best figures I've seen this year. Since I was late on the pre-order of her, I had to wait for her US release. I can't wait wait until she is shipped out. I've said in the past here on DC, that in my opinion the most important thing to get right on a figure, is the character's eyes. If you can't get the eyes right, it just doesn't look like the character at all. Good example would be Bandai's PVC of Kallen in her bunny suit. It doesn't look like Kallen at all to me. Thanks for the great pictures Danny, it only makes the countdown wait until I get her even worse! I'm glad I was able to find a pre-order for her and get in on time.

When you say "US release" what do you mean? Are these figures being officially distributed in the US too?
(ID #315931) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:46
I'm not positive if the are being officially distributed but we usually have the figures for sale here a few months after they are released in Japan.
(ID #315940) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:54
No, no official release. Practically no figures get any sort of release in the US, like everywhere else.
(ID #315946) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:56
Well, the distributors here in the US also have accounts with various figure manufacturers in Japan, however the trade off is that we usually have to wait about 1-4 months after Japanese release before they get it here. Many anime/figure retailers here have Alice up for pre-order right now, a few are already closed on reservation. Some figures actually end up being significantly cheaper here as well. One manufacturer in particular is Kotobukiya. Where a figure of theirs may cost 55 USD in Japanese currency in Japan, will cost about 15-20 dollars less here while still retaining the quality of the figure. As for the wording of "officially" I'm not sure on how to go about answering that.
(ID #315951) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:58
Guessing the layman's definition of "official" release in this case would be a rebranded product, i.e., packaging in English, price in $, instead of just an imported boxed figure with a $USD price tag stuck on it.
(ID #315962) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:04
Then I would say no it's not official. The boxes are in full Japanese (unless the box was originally having something in english on it). xD

AAAnime is going to release Alice in December http://www.aaaanime.com/item/Figures/603259000250.html The site is retailers only and is a distributor of several brands. A few times I saw boxes full Japanese coming with AAAnime stickers on it.
(ID #316160) Posted on 2008/09/28 16:40
They're being imported, but almost always by a single company who then sells them to retailers. The most common importer seems to be AAA Anime. However, they definitely choose the cheapest bulk shipping, meaning it literally takes months after the Japanese release before they arrive here. And it's weird about the prices, too: some end up being cheaper in the US, some end up being just about the same, and some end up quite a bit more expensive than the Japanese price. It helps to shop around.
(ID #316659) Posted on 2008/09/29 05:39
I'm not a big fan of AAAAnime because of those stupid stickers they put on the boxes, I have to remove them and then clean off the grime the stickers leave behind.
(ID #317657) Posted on 2008/09/30 02:20
Very sexy indeed, do want. But all sold out :<
(ID #315936) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:48
After seeing these photos I kinda wish I ordered her. Though its kinda hard to restrain myself from immediately looking to see if I can still put an order in for her. Hmmm. what to do?
(ID #315937) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:48
Darn it I ended up ordering her. I blame BandAiD, Nanu, and Danny for this. MOSTLY Danny and this article with the great pictures. =p
(ID #315996) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:29
That looks very sexy indeed. Do want!
(ID #315942) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:54
Thought you liking Strike Witches so much would've upped your taste for tail-ed girls, Danny ^_^ Very nice looking figure, rear end is lovely, although the point where the tail connects just seems aa bit weird for me, would've thought it'd be lower and closer to the pantsu (remark on the character design, not the figure of course)

danny, what are you using for the purplish background?? is it your monitor's wallpaper? can i have it? or you manually set up some large manila paper studio style? i have been searching high and low for manila paper with 2 or more tones but just couldnt get one

Search for "leopard wallpaper" - use google image search.
(ID #315949) Posted on 2008/09/28 13:57
Very nice photos. She's quite a figure. My favorite is Tsuzuri by Alter (HobbyStock Exclusive). She works just about everywhere you display her. I like her better with the maid outfit on but the detail on the underwear lacing warrants a lot of notice as well. Running second would either be Kos-Mos EPIII VerIV by Alter or Kagami Hiiragi (Comptiq Version) Nendoroid by GSC.

I am saving up my money for other figures. Waiting them to be released.
(ID #315959) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:03
i wanted to order her but run out of space here in my figure cabinet. Fauna is also my No.1 most fav figure, followed by Kureha (the same one you shown above) and then Belldandy. rest i think i'll have to post on my burogu. (hmm, nice idea for a post, reminds me i haven't posted from ages x_x )
(ID #315963) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:04
Very nice photos indeed. Makes me wish I had some figures... maybe if/when I start getting money from my various websites that so far barely break even... Very pretty figures. All of them.

Dammit Danny, now I'm sorely tempted to buy her. I just saw two boxes of her at a figurine shop yesterday for USD58, and I want to get her so badly. But I'm going to Japan in a couple days time! What should I do? Try to find in Japan, or buy now?

BUY NOW! The price in Japan will be roughly the same. Mine says 5180 yen on the box So roughly 51.80 USD. However, you WILL NOT find this figure in retailers in Japan. It is already super rare. Save yourself the grief and just spend those extra 6 bucks, c'mon man! If you don't you'll regret it.

Surely, this should be what Batgirl should look like! Hollywood are you reading?
(ID #315988) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:23
A beautiful figure indeed. Didn't pre-order her, Alter Hayate is eating up pretty much all of my figure budget for the rest of this year. :) My favourite figure is Max Factory's Shana, with Alter's Reinforce Zwei being close second and Fauna taking the bronze medal. :)
(ID #315998) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:31

I have both Max Factory Shana and the Queen's Gate Alice. These two figures stand head and shoulders in quality above the rest of my collection, so much so that they stand out significantly on the shelf. Sadly, my Queen's Gate Alice is slightly defective in that I cannot close her vest thing properly. The holes on the costume are too small to fit the little tabs that stick out to secure it. For my favorite figure, I'd have to say it's the Shana one (just because it's Shana <3).
(ID #316002) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:34
Aww dang.... Guess she'll just have to be nekkid all the time. At least you have a reason why to tell people ^^;
(ID #316007) Posted on 2008/09/28 14:37
suneo (Registered on 2007/12/17 20:54)
what you gotta do is to take her vest off and close it there. It'll open up the holes for the pegs and they should snap right in. They're not to small, they just need to be cleared out a little. Then when the vest is back on her, shuffle it down as far towards her pantsu as possible, and squeeze tight lol. I had a hell of a time getting her vest snapped up too lol.

I actually cut one of the pegs - fits fine with one peg.

(ID #316819) Posted on 2008/09/29 10:15
I have a question about casting off the Queen's Gate Alice figure. For me, it's a little difficult to do and I don't want to put marks on her skin so I was just thinking, I must be doing it wrong. Alice is my first cast-offable figure so I was wondering if there was a specific way to take the vest off. Or if you or anybody else for that matter has any tips for taking the vest off without hurting the rest of the figure.
(ID #441017) Posted on 2009/01/09 09:54
I had the same problem as yours, I just use a very sharp pencil and made the hole a little bigger so the thing could fit in at ease. Not to mention I broke the circular hole thingy on her vest by accident -_-
(ID #320721) Posted on 2008/10/02 17:25
very beautifully done figure i'll say...my only complain is that her hair isn't green enough...i mean the colour seems washed out on her hair...

(ID #316048) Posted on 2008/09/28 15:15
Yeah you really have to see hundreds of photos to get a good idea if you ask me. I've checked out Happysoda, and Foo on this figure before ordering. Danny's picture also showed stuff I had not seen from the others, like the detail of her guns.

^.^ I considered getting her then found out it was sold out at so many places. I saw the jaw dropping photos from Happysoda then I really wished I pre-ordered. I had her on wishlist at E2046 and she was re-opened for pre-order for a short period of time and I got my chance! She arrived awhile later and I'm in love with her ~ so glad I grabbed at that opportunity ^.^
(ID #316054) Posted on 2008/09/28 15:20
Was gonna pre-order her from there, but I didn't like how they make you give them your birthdate. Seems a bit odd for an online store to ask for that. Kinda wish I did it though, then I'd have it right now.
(ID #316091) Posted on 2008/09/28 15:49
CEO MIrai Inc
How do they know if you give them a real birth date or not? But asking for it in principle is a no no.
(ID #316096) Posted on 2008/09/28 15:58
while thats true, I don't see a reason for any online store needing that information. Some have suggested they do it for the "18+" items. However, even then most sites don't ask for it, and consider the fact that you having a credit card is enough proof. Here in the US, you have to be 18 or older for a credit card.

Not quite true, I had one of those gift cards when I was 16, works just like a credit card.
(ID #317489) Posted on 2008/09/30 00:00
That's why you said works 'like' a credit card right? Not at an actual one like say Mastercard or Visa
(ID #318533) Posted on 2008/09/30 17:05
Programmer/IT/Student
It has the Visa logo on it and all. You can do anything with it that you would normally only be able to do with a credit card, so it works exactly like a credit card, just without your name on it, can be gotten at any age, and it's refillable with more money.

Exceptional quality, especially on the gun. Thing is... it's not really my type of figure. The tail, the pose, the character itself... not my thing and no clue who she is. I'm not really a figure person to begin with though. There is one I want... but I could never find it.

So cute.... would get even though its top-castoff lol. My fave figure... I think I still gotta say Chie Yoshioka. Although Corti-chan from Polyphonica is so very awesome, and Lucy Misora is so very cute... Chie has it all. The pose, the smile, the striped pantsu!!! And the paintwork is great to boot. It is a fairly simple figure, but I can't help but love it...

I am ashamed of myself for having continued to shoot pictures of her like that -_- Your leopard background though goes great with everything! And sometimes there's this green plant that sometimes appears in the background of some of your photos (like in your Kurushima Kanu review) that can go really well with pretty much anything too lol.

Again, despite being a great figure, I know absolutely nothing about this character and can't justify the price. What is Queen's Gate anyhow?
(ID #316393) Posted on 2008/09/28 21:52
Queen's Gate (and Queens Blade for that matter) are both from Role-Playing Game. I believe it's a paper rpg from what I have heard. However, Queens Blade will be getting an anime of it soon, as for if Alice will be in it who knows.
(ID #316526) Posted on 2008/09/29 02:49
I have the unpleasant experience where I pre-ordered her with my local store but they couldn't fulfill the order. And they only informed me coz I dropped them an email to check the status! I was devastated as by then she was sold out everywhere no matter where I look. I swear I have never wanted a figure so badly. So it's off to Yahoo Auction Japan. I ended up paying a lot more but I am just relieved I got her at last. And to answer Danny's question, Alice is my favorite figure. I love her awesome face and expression and the overall sculpt is just top notch. Alter's Chua Churam is second and Max Factory's Shana third. But all that might change with Alter's Hayate coming out next month. ^_^

I have it on order. Sexy pose and devilish and hopefully good quality. Now I only have to find a free spot in my display cabinet.

Alice is a nice figure but not my type ^^; I like her guns though!
(ID #317356) Posted on 2008/09/29 21:16
Definitely a solid figure. But sadly i only grow fond of a figurine if there's some connection between us. Maybe like if i get to know her background story from anime or manga etc. Other than that those figurines wont really last long to catch my attention thereafter.

Yeah, this is one I would order offline for. I love this figure, I want the figure, but am not sure if she is still sold out. Maybe I will treat myself over the winter vacation ^^.

Got Alice a few weeks ago. Hard to get those guns in her hands. I was also thinking of picking up Melona ;)

Looks great and very pretty and would have bought it too if I knew the actual series too -.-'' My tendency is to buy figurines that I'm familiar with AND has really good quality, otherwise, I'd be spending and not knowing about it. Although very detailed and beautiful, I probably can't have it in my room since the pose is kind of ecchi. Plus my parents will come in from time to time and it'll snowball from there -.-'' So far, my pride and joy for my figurine collection has either been: Kureha (Max Factory ver.) [Funny thing is that the storeowner had a copy lying around in his shop for a few years even though it was sold out and sought after. I bought it before knowing this on the impulse that character design was by Tony Taka. Yay T2!] OR Fate Testarossa (Alter ver.) [The stance is both really cool and majestic with the sword pointed downwards to make herself even more heoric than she is. Also love her huge overflowing cape.]

It's really Queen blade figure I prefer, but unfortunately impossible for me to have this one at home. My wife would be crazy. LOL

Wow! That's an awesome looking figure! I want one... T.T As for my favorite figure, I don't think I really have a favorite. There's so many awesome ones to choose from lol... I just wish I had more money to buy more though, as well as a propper place to display them, where they won't get all smothered in dust.

Got this one too... love the mutated teddy bear hairclips. It's my first castoffable figurine and getting the plastic bits that she came in was a total pain. And so was geting her kit back on :x She stays clothed from now on!!!

I love all that Queens Blade Figures, but would never put them up in my room ^^' ... My girlfriend would kill me lol

The great part about living in a community of middle class people is that most figures/stuffs that i like which can be quite expensive is that the thing always stays at the same spot for a few months so i rarely get sold out. Hope you guys can be as lucky as me!

TBH I've been very hesitant and selective in buying female figures. Oddly my gf doesn't particularly object, but to me, it feels a bit like buying my 1st Playboy or something. Regardless, some are really works of art. The sculpts are beautiful & I guess in the end it's optional to have the pantsu-only view. This fig is really stunning. Vampirella by way of Lum.

Really like this character but cant find Queens Gate anywhere on the net is it a game an eroge, anime, manga???
(ID #327775) Posted on 2008/10/09 05:40
I believe it's a tabletop RPG of some sort...

It's not too late, you can buy them on ebay, though they are a little expensive.

How come in some pictures, her hair looks greenish but in others it looks gray? Is it the light because mine looks more green than gray.
(ID #441007) Posted on 2009/01/09 09:46
How can they discontinue such nice figure? :( Yet another order that keeps open until eternity :( I wish I knew if there is going to be a re-release someday.

VERY NICE! I got one off ebay for 100 bucks...I know it's quite above the retail price, but it was WORTH it. I wouldn't mind having a second one myself. So much detail, are those voodoo dolls in her hair? Definitely a must buy...Even though her boobies are awfully flat.
