everyone should just give their male bosses a mirei-san, or maybe all secretaries should look like mirei san, then the world would be a peaceful place.
cute and sexy, i think i am gonna try to get her as well :)
I am so gonna get this figure! Its so cute and sexy.
I prefer up...it gives her more of a dirty co-worker look than when her hair is down ;P. Very nice pics again Danny.
i like the chair. And the body language is portrayed very nicely...curvey bod courtesy of shunya yamamoto...
thanks for the plug Danny. ^^ your pictures looks great as usual. nice touch on the mac logo. ^^ Alafista OTAKU, if all secretaries looked like Mirei san, nobody would ever leave the office. ^^
What's with the tete-a-tete in the sixth photo? You getting kinky on us Danny? ^^; Darn, these photos look great Danny! She was low on my buy list, but I want her! Err, I mean I want to get her... Ooh... maybe I should quite while I'm ahead. ^o^ Some of these would make great wallpaper... ^^; I like your experimental shots; like the one with the white backdrop. Yes she looks more, professional with her hair up.
Definitely hair down. I don't think I can stand much more of the brown sockings. It just doesn't look attractive to me. Also, the fingers on the hand that holds the pen looks a bit fat. Other than that, she is absolutely gorgeous.
Darn. Now I want to order Mirei san as well ^^; Actually, both hair styles are equally nice. Each having it's own unique style of making us go "MOE~!" XD P.S Can't find the figure in HLJ and HobbyStuff4U
Love that pic with Mirei and Mizuho xD
Flithy working lady evil and gorgeous waiting for the white-suit one
She's so pretty
Such a lovely figure.Definatley the best Shunya Yamashita designed figure out at the moment. Also the photos you talk of her are great Danny,they make her look even better. Will definatley have to get myself a Mirei sometime.
currently reading this post from school. But have to read this with caution/care, in case the hot-blooded guys and lecturers come in and stare, it's GG.. lol..and nice pics there.
Thats a nice lookin model you got there danny
I never grow tired of seeing her and can't wait to receive the email from my friend saying that mine has arrived at his shop. I think I'll go crazy and take gazilion of pictures once she gets here.
300 pics?? 0.0 Who can blame you, she IS probably the best looking figure ever after all. I just love everything about it - love the fact that its just an ordinary office worker too - not some bikini clad space warrior with removeable knickers. Cant wait to get mine (hurry up Tokyotoys!)! Too bad about the dodgy paint job, i wouldve gone mad with the wait to get her replaced - hope mine isnt the same!
Nice and well-sculpted figure. Too bad that this figure can't "cast-off" it's clothes, which is a bummer.
The only thing missing on this figure for me (and it's a very minor thing), is some sexy glasses to complete that whole "hot ass businesswoman" look. They could've even include some glasses she could hold, and put one part in her mouth for an even sexier pose. However, this figure is pretty much perfect as is. I definitely prefer Mirei-san with her hair up.
@windbell: I asked the same question and sent an email to HLJ asking if they were gonna get her, the response was that she was a Kotobukiya exclusive so no luck with HLJ.
i really dont know what would happen if i have a co-worker like that in the future @_@
I think the whole "hair up" thing is just a subconscious bondage association! Ha!
Very nice photos for a very nice figure : well done Danny. I've ordered Mirei too and i'm waiting for her ! ^^
I'm not that enthusiastic about Mirei-san, but I have to admit that she's beautiful. Not on my wishlist, I prefer Yamashita's girls with big weapons and armors that cover only the necessary ;) Hair up for me, and as CyberSynaptic said, some glasses would have been great!
ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm That's about the sole thing that flashes trough my mind at her sight.....and a very big Sgnifff too 'cuz mine isn't yet available at my store ( and I was been assured that she would be there ...) ( eternal damnation casted on that shop!!);p Anyway she's awesomly cute ! KAWAI ( hair up ^ ^ )
she's hotttttttttttt!
Very nice picture with sexy look~
UUUWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH *NOSE BLEED* Wow, she really is amazing, i alway thought she was going to be good, but the few pictures of her on the itnernet never did her justice. But now, with your photos, you really have shown how amazing she is...i mean, here 2nd pair of eyes are even bigger than i had imagined, and the sheer quality, and the pose...ooh my...i think im in love with this figure. I am going to get this when i come to Japan, hopefully Kotobukia will have it in stock ^_^ Another reason i really like this one is because Shunya Yamashita is one of my favourite Japanese artists, and i really admire his style, so this is even more amazing ^_^ If only there was an anime and/or manga with mirei in...ooh how good that would be xD Oooh i do have a question though, this is slightly off topic, but, in Akihabara, do some/alot of people working shops speak english? Because even though i have been learning Japanese for almost a year now, and i will speak it whenever i can, i was just wondeirng; If not ill have to learn even more over the sumemr ^_^
Love Mirei San! But where oh where can i get the blonde version!!
Wow! That is a nice figure! I remember seeing it on this site a while ago before you got it and thinking it was ok, but now that I've seen your fine photos I really want one! I'll be looking out for this when I go to the London anime expo in 12 days. PS: She looks waaaay better with the hair up
She's very nice. Very sharp pictures too. Did you break out the tripod for these? As for the indoor shot and my tutorial, I see people struggling to get it to work on white. One of these days when I stop being lazy I'll have to write some tips specifically on the white background as it's a bit trickier than using a colored background.
wicked figure Danny ... it was worth the wait ... what a beauty indeed!! Great paintwork, sculpting, everything bout it is good!! I like the blonde version 2 .... BTW, Wicked pix Danny ....
WHAT A FIGURE! Mirei San is attractiveas hell! Now i know what i have to buy. But i think a pair of glasses would be grate too! Don't u think Danny?? ^^ .:G:.
Having sensei's hand into Mirei san's opai is indeed a very naughty idea of yours Danny san ;-)
After seeing the pictures, I'm glad I pre-ordered it. Great job as normal on the pictures.
Is everybody clinging to their monitor like I am? *repeat gecko*
@super rats, Yes, please do instruct us sensei. ^^ I've only shot a few portraits against white backgrounds outdoors. Fortunately they where textured backgrounds which helped out tremendously. I'm assuming lighting is as important with figures, right?
Sorry about double post Danny. I must have pressed submit right when you where updating. ^^; @super rats, just teasing with that comment. You take such great figure photos, so always interested in your advice.
All, Thanks ^^; Dinosaur, Glad you like it ^^ Gorgo, CyberSynaptic, Glasses would have been great - I think the original illustration had glasses. Super Rats, Only used the tripod for that indoor shot ^^; Perplexus, London has an anime expo? Atari, Having trouble getting hold of her myself! Arekusu, Generally they dont speak English so come with some vocabulary. Mr.Boy, You could be right ^^; Ken, I would have preferred no stockings too.
She reminds me of my software engineer ex-girlfriend. Yummy.
Would love to have one on my desk.
waiting for mine already ....she'll look great on my desk, what a sexy secretary (and what a lazy bit.. too :D)
just wanted to say thanks or posting reviews of figures. Found this site a few weeks ago, and have been very impressed. Thanks again.
I just bought one, and she looks better than in the pics :).
Hi Danny, thanks for the great review/pics! I just received my figure today, and although it's gorgeous, it does have some defects where her jacket buttons and around where her jacket meets her shirt on her lower pair of "eyes". Honestly I don't think it's the seller's fault because it would be impossible to see these defects while in the box. As a US buyer who bought through eBay, do I have any recourse for an exchange through Kotobukiya? Or would it even be worthwhile to try due to exhorbitant shipping? I guess it could just be the price one pays as a US buyer who gets these for considerably less dunero ($35 shipped). If there is a Kotobukiya contact I could make for a reasonably priced exchange please let me know! Thank you!
The best figure of the Shunya Yamashita series. The expresion is so lovely and sexy... je,je. In general, this series of figures is one of my favorites.
I just got my order for Mirei-san in, and am trying to switch the hair to have it up. It doesn't want to come off and I don't want to break it. A friend suggested that maybe the front hair needs to come off first, but I see no indication of that. Any advice on how to remove it?
