Has Fibre ^^;
I can't get the joke >_< Anyone mind elaborating? ^^
Ben, answer in the Platform Migration news item (finally got the term right!)
Still unable to understand it. >_<
Can't help then.
LOL!!!
XD Glad no one got upset :D
what are you waiting to make it wallpapers!!!!! jejeje do it! now¡ ........ please.
Ummm... To be honest, I'd say that Ringo is not my type of figure at all. And what the hell is with the fifth picture?! Reminds me of Faust from Guilty Gear in that mode. She would be a must get if she didn't have such... minimalistic clothes (can they even be called clothes at this point?). Haruka is my favorite of the bunch, enough said. Expect insane leaning with time though. And Miina, I don't even want to talk about her. She gets a complete fail ranking on my charts (and a WTF special mention as well).
I thought you liked ecchi stuff?
Ecchi? Umm, oh yeah, but it has to remain realistic (even if I am completely crazy over certain fantastic female figures such as mermaids and angels)... I am picky as well. *Goes back into drooling over his wallpaper*
how about simca? isnt she cute, and a bit hot ._. ?
Simca looks great (at least with long hair only) from what I saw from tribute videos, but does she wear a short short skirt. XD
In the early volumes of the air gear manga, Ringo helped out the main hero team "Kogusamaru" by wearing a top hat, goofy glasses, a cape and a school swimsuit to compete alongside them. I think she used the name "Croissant mask" or something. In any case, there was a big match against another air gear team in vol 7 (i think) and Kogusamaru wasn't doing too well so Ringo decided to put her costume on and help out. But Simca swapped her costume with the one shown on the figure so Ringo ended up going out in that, putting the bag on her head to hide her face and try to help the team. Except Simca turned up wearing the proper costume to cause some problems... It was the first time we got a proper glimpse of how powerful Ringo is as a stormrider. But I'm not interested in any of those figures. And, for me, the definitive Getsumento heiki Mina figure is still the original one which was shown on Densha Otoko (which I own)
I see. Thanks for the info.
Holy shit!....... now were is my tenga?
Haruka Takamori is adorable and a must have for me(even though I know nothing about the series). But im a little concerned about her leaning with that pose.
Ringo's outfit is from a scene in Air Gear where she was supposed to go an help Ikki's team in a battle and had to change into her costume which was actually just a school swimsuit, top hat and mask similar to that guy in Sailor Moon but Simca switched her bag with another one which contained bondage stuff. So she ended up joining the battle wearing that and wearing the bag over her head to hide her identity. Hilarious and hot!
Thanks Frost for the info. I must see that episode!
Which are you intending to watch danny... Swimsuit or this 'attire'? Too revealing for me... I will die of blood loss.... Would like to get Haruka XD
Swimsuit?
It's toned down quite a bit in the Anime, the Manga has the 'full' version of the outfit... (Posted after nosebleed subsided)
Does anybody know which edition?
You mean which volume this costume appears? Ringo puts it on at the end of Volume 7 of the manga so she walks around in it for the early parts of vol 8 The part where she tries to convince the crowd that simca was a fake croissant mask (while simca is wearing the croissant mask costume)is hilarious!
Cant find which chapter ToT http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/
Check out chapters 59 or 60. It should be somewhere around those parts ^^
Thanks Bele - found it ^^; Nosebleed.
Haha! Sounds like that scene from dodgeball, where the team got all this bondage stuff instead of their uniforms.
Hmmm... Good thing she shaved that day...
look more like waxed (oucccccch)
O_O Gah... A painful possibility.
Either way, I always appreciate the effort.
air gear is a nice anime packed with action and cool moves...i know alot of ppl prefer the manga..but i get headaches reading the complicated drawing of the manga but as for ringo-san, i actually prefer simca-san from airgear..this has always been on my dreamlist but too expensive to swallow http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34452 but must admit this ringo-san is very enticing as for beat blade's haruka, i am familiar with the anime..but do admit the figure is very nice and has a good pose as well...just worried if the figure might bend??? (couldn't locate your article that talks about bended figures) then finally, mina-san is always a favourite...though not sure will get this one from alter...still very much prefer the one densha has on his desk. does anyone know if its still possible to buy that one?
Oh I have that Simca, and it is gorgeous! Well worth the money I say. I also have this Ringo on order. I love the face and pose on this figure. It's so static but at the same time evokes powerful movement. Ringo is the only figure from Wonderfest that I had on my MUST HAVE list. I saw a lot of great figures, but I decided to cut back.
Getsumen Heiki Miina was on the watch list but I couldn't find subs past 8 and haven't heard anything on a license so I'm kinda bummed about that as it was pretty funny. If I had the spare coinage I'd definately be getting Ringo.
Just testing something out real fast.
Hey Gregory, Got your mail. Thanks for the bug report. Hope everything is a bit better now.
Haruka gets my vote ^^ Definitely getting her ^^
Ive had my eyes on that Ringo figure for ages now - ever since it was first at WF i believe. It looks fantastic, though it may be slightly too risque for my collection. Awesome figure though. Im just starting to read the air gear manga now. By the way - whats with the site? Its all over the shop! Sections are displaying in wierd areas, and some article text is in a poo looking font...

Ah, it works fine now. Thank you sir *salutes*
Ringo looks quite nice but I don't know a thing about the anime and she's a bit too ecchi for placing her in my room. So I guess I'll pass, don't have much money right now anyway.
Haruka might warrant further punishment of my already-wafer-thin wallet. Maybe Ringo too. I suppose it's debt for a good cause...
Me like Ringo and Haruka. Ringo winning by a nipple (not shown) and bag over head! XP Me not think gf appreciate figures like Ringo though. Gf ask why I spend much time in home studio and not in bedroom instead. Hmm conundrum indeed methinks...
Yamashita+sama's figure of Ringo is really beautiful. (plus OhGreat is a crazy manga storyteller) Plus the bag was a part of her first "disguise".
I knew they'd be releasing Haruka one day; definetely on the want-list. Ironic though, as only two days ago I spent my last money (and probably my mom's patience too) by ordering Piece@Pieces Nagi. Still can't believe I actualy found her on ebay for a good price ^-^. Anyways, if I ever get Haruka, I guess I'll try to get her together with Narika: twin ninja girls on the shelf xD
MY WALLET!!! IT CRIES!!! TT_TT i so want to get Ringo and Haruka figures so much ^________________^
what's with the bag on her head? lol. ('~')
Lack of mask to cover her face. Seriously!!
wow, ringo and haruka absolutely gorgeous... want!!!
I wish i had money :( The mina one is especially cute!
Haruka! "Falls to my knees"
These are fine figures Danny, but let's talk about #d girls for a second. Im fith you in 1000% Itou Misaki Lurve !!!
None. My wallet is safe this day! ^o^
KYAAAAAAAAA! a good Miina figure >.>. This means i need to get money once again and will need to get work once again T-T. daaaaaaamn you otaku greatness for excercising your demonic powers on my wallet :<
The Haruka figure looks very cute, but I won't buy any of these. ^^
Wrong comment button. ^^'' Where are the Ghostbusters when you need them to get rid of the evil powers draining your wallet.
im getting Haruka. just in time for my birthday as well.
I have yet to really want to order a figure, but the Haruka might be persuading me to buy one.
Well Ringo is quite aggressive OO... But i like a lot the "costume" effect, really well done!
Alter makes some of my favorite figures, I think I'll be pre-ordering Haruka today! Ringo is a bit too wild for my collection, but looks great!
i couldnt stop giggling like a school girl when i saw Ringo Noyamano with a bag on her head lol ----- Errrrr I think its gonna take a bit of time for me to get use to the new comment layout Danny. im use to seeing a lot more stuff on the screen as i comment ^_^ I could reading one comment & other stuff at the same time. but nice work. looks a bit more simple & in a way more sorta distinct smooth homey feel to the site :) its hard to describe it but it will eventual grow on my like my hair which is almost half way down my back :P Greetings to your Mrs. btw
The comment form will be on the same screen soon - gimme just a bit more time ^^;
priority list: 1. ringo "hentai mask" the most rad yamato figure i have seen in a while. i wish it was bigger. 2. beat blades haruka gorgeous. looks almost like one of hyung tae kim's (magna carta) artwork in 3-5. too bad it isn't. 3. getsumen mina deliciously cute! Other: Misaki Itou <3 (nuff said)
Wow, these are nice figures! xD Well too bad that I'm not that rich to buy everything that I like... But If I can have 1 I'd choose Ringo... Why? Because I like apple?? :3
Always liked the Ringo. I could spend a long time gazing at that figure on my shelf... the haruka is nice but Alice Soft's designs always remind me of something else I've seen before...
*Bangs head on the table* Too many figures I want.... no can afford though. Why is this world (or just Danny) sooo cruel??
All of these ladies are very lovely, and Ringo is on my "must have" list.
want Ringo. She is so hot, but my wallet has already died >.< Don't think I can afford it now. sigh...
Want the three of them! But thats going to be a lot... aargg nevermind, they are t
