Glowing Figure

(Figures(52)
Tue 2008/05/13 15:37
This 1/4 scale figure is costs 30,450 yen and is from Daiki Kougyo so its kinda meh but is interesting to see that it lights up. Maybe we will see more figures that light up or perhaps move? Figures with big eyes jumping up n down for example.
More pics at Akiba Hobby.

LOL, imagine if the whole robot industry is actually a conspiracy to develop a moving, talking figure. They need to mask it up so the govt will pay for the research. ^^

The character is from H-anime Daiakuji. But in that anime, she is big as Ultraman, and not wearing pantsu. Wonder if the figure follow that too...

If you look at the rest of the pictures over on Akiba Hobby she's certainly not wearing underwear, though there's something going on down there.

I sorta want this figure myself, regardless of not having seen the work it's associated with. The outfit and the whole glowing thing is just cool.

She's wearing one of those Shinto paper seal thingees. I'd like to see a bikini made out of those things.

It's a very interesting figure. The design seems to be very well done, I just can't seem to get past the lights on the top of her head. If that wasn't there it would be a very well done figure.

working to pay for figures etc.
That's Seyadatara, I think, from an Alice Soft game, most likely Daiakuji but I heard one of the Rance games. Not the first model of her, a different sculpt was released as a kit some years ago. The headgear lights up with the aid of built in bulbs in at least one version of the figure. This sculpt looks like the one by Vispo. She is quite yumsome.

A figure that plays music and can act as an alarm clock should be soon become reality... shouldn't it?

The giant girl version from Dai-Akuji 6. It even has the patch on it's crotch ...Really figures now a days! If it's not the price it's the uniqueness.

Interesting... I like the figure too.

Looks kinda steampunk-ish. And I would really really love to see some steampunk-ish figures.

How did I miss this article.

For that price, I guess they want to recoup from R&D costs uguu~

Figures and lighting.  Very tricky.  I've contemplated trying to make mine light up.  LEDs could work, but not really.  I wonder about EL sheet but that is costly.  Anime physics in real world physics (at small scale) is tough to recreate.
