Up next is the figure stuff from the chara hobby.
I like Noiji Ito-sans work and liked the look of Nanatsuiro Drops but Sumomo's character put me off from watching any further than ep1. Some baka girls are cute but she seemed a bit too baka ^^;
These shots are not called "low angle" shots anymore - they are now known as "accidental-shots" - usually happens when a fellow otaku bounces you to the floor and you hit the trigger button by accident.

This figure will only be available with initial batches of the PS2 game. They may decided to release it a few months after as a standalone product though.
Sumomo trading figure.
Wots her name from Queens Blade.
Aino Heart from Arcana Heart.
Haruka-chan!
Gundam Builder girls Reiko and Cathy. Tough choice but I think I prefer Cathy (the one in pink).
Have your phone look like Haruka-chans.
Musubi from Sekirei.
Goshusho Sama gets to be an anime this October - maids and bikini fusion? Sounds good to me.
Name that figure.
Gorgeous Kureha taking forever to be released.
The Seed girls still popular as ever.
Have no idea.
Keiko Kamikita. Not familiar but I think shes from some retro mecha anime.
Sayla Mass.
Girls from Puri Cure.
Name that figure.
Better shots of Claire. I was shocked at how many Claymore got bumped off in this weeks episode.
The shiny armor looks removable.
Claymore recommended if you have not started to watch it yet.
I like the One Piece films but the TV shows dont seem to hold a lot of interest for me.
This was supposed to be out ages ago - delayed again to sometime next month. Full cast off.
Name those figures.
Name that character from Melty Blood.

The last girl is Sion from melty bloody- the mystery of peta or big!
I'd be glad if that shiny Clare Armour is removable, just too shiny.

It was a bit interesting how all the Claymore's were being umm...shredded...will have to see how this battle arc ends.  Sumomo is a bit of a baka but she got better in the later episodes and there was a nice onsen/beach vacation episode, #5.

The girl from Queens Blade is Airi.
Do you happen to know which manufacturer is going to prodcue Musubi from Sekirei?
Kureha does look really good, was that the prototype or an actual production figure of her (her mouth looks different from the early prototype photos).

Sion Eltnam Atlasia is a fun char. to play in Melty Blood. Though I am really not to g00d with her. Her figure looks really nice so I might get it.

I picked up Claymore a few days after you made the post about the Clare figure. I'm already up to the current episode. I didn't really like the reviews at first, but it's pretty good.

Just to be sure, did the look armor like it's made of metal? I really hope it's not just chrome paint which would easily scratch off.

What a cute Sumomo figure!

The Kureha looks like she will be worth the long wait :D 
And Claymore is such a great show. Definitely my favorite anime i'm watching right now.

That Sayla Mass figure is very interesting. Great to see more female Gundam characters other than Lacus or Meer.  By the way, anyone knows who is the girl in the orange bikini? She looks like a more mature girl but very cute anyway :P.

I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on that clare figure. Claymore is now up there with Berserk and Helsing as one of my favourite animes of all time. I also hope that this Clare figure isn't the last Claymore figure we see, I'd like to get my hands on a few other characters if possible.

Out of all those, only interested in getting Kureha and perhaps Sumomo. Sumomo's cute!  But I do agree she's a bit baka in the anime...

NEET (no, student...)
so b/c you picked Cathy, are you a feddie?

regardless, I am not a figure person, b/c I have to buy one that is pre-colored...  And I have no guts to color a figure girl (perferably someone I know, and is one of my favorite character), and screw up coloring...  It could just be by inexperience, but yea, coloring gunpla stuff sorta made me uncomfortable coloring stuff...  I take probably too much time planning, then rush the paint process...  Resulting a mess...

sigh...

I do hope they release that version of Sumomo sometime (but not too soon). She's just far too cute in that pose. 
Indeed, Kureha is taking forever to be released. Hope she delivers.

I remember now. The Seed girl in the orange bikini is Maryu Ramiasu (spelled something like that) the Archangel's captain. I would love to have a decent figure of her dressed in the usual uniform, and not in trading figure scale...oh well someday maybe...

I prefer this Airi character than the Nix one you presented to us a bit ago, any day of the week.

I meant Tomoe (the Samurai Miko).

For the Gundam characters, it is worth noting the difference between Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell (I see the difference in the broach principally)... Everybody knew already?

Three comments. I should organize my ideas better next time.

Keiko Kamikita is indeed from an old school robot anime! She's from Zambot 3, and is one of the pilots of the star mecha. According to wiki, one of her most famous lines is "Please transform, and don't make a girl say 'please!'"
