Since they put another face for the Saber i´ll get it. The new one looks like a Cerberus project work.Much beter. Shiki is also on the must buy list.

Pixie Hiyori! So that's her name XD

I'm also seeing some Full Metal Panic! figmas... with WEAPONS! *drool*

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2740521131/sizes/o/ I think this one is an idolm@ster x_x

I prefer them to be called figures instead of statues. When one mentions the word "statues", it reminds me of those big, cold, grey and historical ones that are made to remember someone who was important or a very memorable event.

Ahhh!  So much I want, why must you tease so much! xD Just kidding, I love seeing pictures of new stuff, I get what I can.

Err, I don't usually have any problems when it comes to my pants and going anywhere north of where they're supposed to. lol

As for your question about the name statue or figure; from what I have observed, people who are more into anime, figures and such things tend to call them figures.  People who aren't really into it but are simply exposed, willingly or not, tend to call them statues.  Personally it tends to get on my nerves when I hear people calling them statues, but that's me being unreasonable, because in all reality they are statues.  I will personally use the name figures, and I will also try to get other people to call them by that also, but I'm willing to accept the fact that they will still be called statues by some, it's a given.

I forgot to add, those are my observations here in America, I would be interested in knowing exactly how many people and what type of people over there in Japan call them what.  Over here, people tend to get looked down upon by the majority of society if they are over the age of about 14 and they watch anime, read manga, like figures, or anything of the sort.  Those who look down on the American otaku tend to be the ones who refer to figures as statues more often.  "Why do you still play with those little statues?", that's one I've heard from them quite often.

My list of want just got a bit longer. I'm really not a fan of the face they put on Saber, but it is a nice looking one. As for what to call them, my wife and parents call them dolls so pretty much anything else is an improvement.

Hmm...I think statues would probably be incorrect. They fit the term figurine just fine with the figmas being action figures similar to GI Joe.

Statue sounds a bit formal. But it´s fine too. As long as people don´t call it "doll" it´s fine. It give me the creeps when some of my friends do it /o/

Shiki Tohno from Kara no Kyoukai. Tis a very good anime/movie series. (Alternate universe to the Tsukihime animevisual novel series.)
She is a very cool looking gal, that figure does her justice.

The first 'name that figure' is Shiki Tohno, the alternate universe Shiki though. From Kara no Kyoukai. And theres another from Tsukihime who's a 'name that figure' Akiha Tohno, the sister of the Tsukihime-universe Shiki Tohno.

You can also play as Akiha Tohno in the Melty Blood fighting game. (In case any else wanted to know, I'm sure Meimi132 knows that already lol.) That's where I recognized her from anyway.

Will preorder Unity yuno and Sister Hell for sure

Going to give a thought about Saber - 12,000 yen sounds steep.  Going too depend how much bonus I am getting for 3Q 2008.  

Gave a thought about the FREEing haruhi bunny girls.  But gave up because I dont want to spend $600+ on the set.

Wow, even more plastic beauties. ~_~

"Figures" or "statues"? Well, I'm fine with both. To me the word statue sounds more like a piece of art you'll find in a museum and I don't think that's far off.

Does anyone know the company making this "Little Busters!"-figure? I'd like to get a figure of this character but I'm unsure whether to wait for this one or just take the Kotobukiya one..

Thanks Danny for the coverage! I think it's just semantics. Statues, figures, whatever.

I've already pre-ordered:

Freeing Emiri Kimidori
Freeing Ryoko Asakura
Lineage 2 Human Mage

Figures I'm eagerly anticipating from your coverage:

Ryougi Shiki (両儀 式) from the anime OVA Kara no Kyoukai (空の境界) (Scheduled Nov release)
Pixie Hiyori from Chu x Chu Idol

Figures that I haven't seen before and thinks it looks really interesting:

Sister Hell from Prism Ark (I guess this makes up for missing out on the recent cold-cast release by Aizu Project)

Unity Yuno looks beautiful! I'm gonna keep an eye out for her preorder!

I always thought that statues are sculptures that are usually too large to be considered as figurines...like the ones placed in the garden or outside. 

...Though a life-size Saber statue posing with her Excalibur would be KICK ASS.

I think the term figure is more correct as well. after all, not all of them are immobile.

I call uncompleted models, kits and completed ones figures. Makes things simple. I don't think I would ever call them statues.

But nothing on the above list for me.

My want list would be the To Heart chibi (is that the right word?) figures and the "un-named" girl in the kimono with samurai sword.  As for preference of name, I like the term figures.  It seems to have more life in the name than the word statue.

I call them figures, I'd only really refer to it as a statue if it's over 1 meter.

As for which one I'd get, probably only Hatsune Miku, though Saber looks really good too *o* (I'm just not familiar with her ^^;)

Well, the definition of "statue" is:

"a three-dimensional work of art, as a representational or abstract form, carved in stone or wood, molded in a plastic material, cast in bronze, or the like"

Taking that definition and applying it to bishoujo models: they are three dimensional, representational, and molded and cast in and from plastic. To summarize, any sculpting could be considered a statue, whether or not it is anthropomorphized.  

The definition of "figure" as it relates to modeling:

"a representation, pictorial or sculptured, especially of the human form"

The key distinction here is that the word "figure" emphasizes the display of the human element, the role of anatomy and capturing of the human form. 

To this ends, it's quite correct to call bishoujo figures just that: figures. While it isn't incorrect to refer to them as statues, the word "figures" lends itself to a more accurate description.

I want that Miku but I'm probably not going to get her--my current monetary plans include textbooks and cosplay, so only Figmas for me. ^^; 

If they're smaller than life-size, I'm inclined to call them figures, especially if they're in full color paint. If they're life-size or larger, I'm more inclined to call them statues, especially if they're depicted exlusively in the color of the medium they're made in. And if it's a OOAK piece, then I'll tend to call it a sculpture.  Unless it's a mod of an existing piece.  Then it's a mod or a custom.

Not all of them, no. GSC's 1/8 scale Meiya pictured above has been out since July of last year. It's possible they might be getting second production runs though.

mmm lots of goodies there eh Danny:) Lovely figures,both cute and sexy;) I'm interested in the girl at the end of the shoot,I love girls with light blue hair^^
As for the question,I guess both to me,combining them would make it easier, maybe "Stigures" or how about "Statures" eh? XD
A "statue" to me is a beautiful work of art and a very decorative piece,BUT,it also makes it seem cold and lifeless,As for "Figure",it has more action,life to it,BUT,doesn't make you think of decorations or art,it sounds a little kiddish too.So Maybe they should make a word to combine them or represent them both,because to me they are both;) *Time to think of a new word Danny;)*
Nice coverage,enjoyed the pics,thanks^^

She has quite a nice expression, especially with the fan.

How come everyone takes pics of Unity Yuno but not of Unity Mei? I've only seen a few blogs with pics of Mei. I like Yuno but Mei is by far my favorite and a must get for me. Other then those two in this batch I'd definitely want to pick up the Lineage II Human Mage, Pocco, Ryogi and the Movluv figs. Ah WF how you make me wish I was rich so I could get everything...

I REALLY like that new Shunya figure of the girl sitting back. I love the metal wings and goggles. Pocco (who looks like her a lot accessory-wise) was my favorite drawing from Shunya's first art book.I also LOVE the tights on the FREEing bunnies they look so sexy!

Wow, so much cool stuff!

I want the Saber with the realistic face and the Prism Ark figurines!

I prefer the term figurine. It makes it sound more like an actual hobby instead of toys or something... figure sounds like action figure, and statue excludes stuff like Figmas. Figurine has that air of "its artistic not childish" to it. :D


BTW, the girl with the white shirt and the red skirt is called Akiha Tohno, from the visual novel Tsukihime and the anime adaptation Shingetsutan Tsukihime.
