Review up of Alters Alice at FooBarBaz. Very well made indeed. Still prefer Loli Alice though. Original text from Gundam00 below.I was totally drooling when I found this The “Boost” version of Gate Opener Alice from the Queen’s Gate / Queen’s Blade series has just been released - “Boost” in this case meaning a mega oppai form as opposed to her previous loli version. Sheis produced by Alter. It is a 1/8 PVC, making it a bit smaller than than the usual 1/6 or 1/7 sizes you might be more accustomed to. check here for full review

Yeap, I saw some pics of this figure, I think it was the kit version some time ago, and was hoping to see it PVC-fied?, now the problem will be trying to get her. Already own QG Alice Loli version, but this one looks sooo nice. The pose looks alot like Max Factory's Ignis. I think I like Alice more though.

I prefer the loli version, but this is still a really awesome looking figure.
(ID #428924) Posted on 2008/12/30 07:08
The figure looks awesome. Btw, came across this one when i was looking at the review of the alice figure. http://www.foobarbaz.jp/figure/review2008/f_banpresto_1bankuji_cc/ Never saw this one in stores??

This C.C. looks not bad, but i've also never seen it before anywhere in stores.

That one is a limited edition from something.. I can't really remember. I saw the ad for it in a Hobby Japan scan and my friend translated for me. I don't think it was mail order though it was something else but I was sad when I found out I couldn't get my hands on it.

Hmm very curious why is the sudden price drop, I mean this figure coul easily get 80- 90 USD no problem, marketing? Any way probably only onethat thinks that the hair looks like bubble gum from the 60s. I`d say details are erefully picked and the paint job is excellent but I`d much rather get The extravaganaza Yuki rather than this one. If I have to put them the Non-Boos and Boos ver in a VS - The non-boost wins. I basicly can`t deny the fact that the torso and legs are outstanding for a figure, if only the face could be tweeked a little bit then i`d get it. But when it comes to facial disorder I am not one to talk ><

Well, hard times means people are less willing to shell out $100 for a figure. :( It's a nice figure, but I much prefer the loli version 'cause...well, it's loli. And, ah, you can look up her top? ^^;

Wow looking good! I love how Alter always make such dynamic poses. Very tempted...

I have the Loli Version from AlphaxOmega, and like it much more. The pose on this figure Rules, but like "TsubasaNoTenshi" said previously.....there's something about her face that still doesn't convince me. Oh, and the color scheme on the hair doesn't agree with Me either.

When I saw the little picture (and wasn't paying attention to the title), I thought it was some sort of Miku. I would be glad if Miku looked like this too. ^^

apparently, this is a Hobby Japan limited edition so despite the low price, the difficulty in obtaining this item will eventually drive up the cost for us gaijin...
(ID #429226) Posted on 2008/12/30 11:40
Oh wow, I've never seen this figure before. o.o I think I want this one more than the other Alice now.. Although they are both quite dynamic... decisions decisions... x.x;
(ID #429284) Posted on 2008/12/30 12:41
Ah, let the Ebay hunting begin. Hopefully after the immediate demand, I can swoop in and take it like I did with Tsuduri from Lycoris Radiata. I managed to get Tsuduri for 62USD minus the shipping costs
(ID #429330) Posted on 2008/12/30 13:33
Nice, you have Tsuzuri as well. I got her from a pre-order through an ebay seller. $75 USD without shipping though but had her within a few days of its release.

I remember seeing this when the scan in Hobby Japan came out. I so want it and would totally get it if it wasn't mail order. orz

Figures are too expensive to just get the ones that tickle your fancy... That's all I can say in my defense...
(ID #429572) Posted on 2008/12/30 16:56
Very nice Alice figure. Sculpt is fantastic though the face could be a little better. It's too expensive to obtain though so I am content with my loli Alice.
(ID #429621) Posted on 2008/12/30 18:17
i choose big oppai Alice. but they should have made it 1/6 scale.
(ID #429713) Posted on 2008/12/30 20:57
btw, i've always been wondering where foobarbaz gets those different gradient and textured backgrounds from. makes his photos stand out from the rest.

i have her ordered... but i'm worried the company i bought from didn't know what they were doing and will cancel on me -_- Guess for now all I can do is hope ^^;

This Alice looks kinda of a Mirror Version of Ignis from Yamatos Creator Lab. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/gundamjehutykai/wonder%20festival/Ignis.jpg

Nice "Boost"....Hope i got enough to get her....

lemme know where you'll be getting it from, hehe.
(ID #429842) Posted on 2008/12/30 23:20
I like it, but not as much as the "loli" version. She's just cuter looking, but dark at the sametime. I thought the black and orange whip thing was her tail? I don't know anything about Queen's Gate, but the first figure it showed it attached to her. It's detachable?
(ID #429818) Posted on 2008/12/30 22:53
I'm really hoping they have a second batch of the loli Alice...
(ID #429911) Posted on 2008/12/31 00:50
A great looking figure. But not quite my type.
(ID #429918) Posted on 2008/12/31 01:02
Yay Danny. Hi-5 xD

it's probably just how this figure looks that I prefer the loli one more. I'm sure if if it was sculpted differently I would prefer the big oppai one more.
(ID #430054) Posted on 2008/12/31 03:49
Gorgeous figure, personally love both of them, the problem is that this one will be REALLY difficult to get for me, and the price is another story, agh... Love the Banpresto C.C. even more now...
(ID #430115) Posted on 2008/12/31 05:28
Loli Alice was good, but this one just rocks O_O
(ID #430146) Posted on 2008/12/31 06:08
I like the loli version better...but this one's great as well =w=''
(ID #430198) Posted on 2008/12/31 07:12
I like the Boost version better not because of the boost, but because the pose looks cooler.

(ID #430232) Posted on 2008/12/31 07:48
Very beautiful Alice figure, price will definitely be high as always though...especially with the USD dropping in currency!
(ID #430253) Posted on 2008/12/31 08:17
I prefer rori Alice. Most likely due to white hair =ω=
(ID #430291) Posted on 2008/12/31 09:53
Yay! I ordered it but I can't believe how much it cost!~ T_T Well, I can always go back to instant cup-noodle ramen!~ ^.^
(ID #430488) Posted on 2008/12/31 13:27
I'll probably get this one to pair it up with it's loli form, but I'm hoping that megahouse will make on that you can cast off...
(ID #430609) Posted on 2008/12/31 15:17
It looks very nice, if I were to decide to buy one of these(this vs loli) I wonder which I would choose. x_x

It looks good. Have the loli version and will probably get this one too. It looks better than I thought it would.
