This rather sweet figure of Sieglinde Baumgard from Dragonaut will be out next Jan and retail for 6,800 yen by Orchid Seed. Shes up for pre-order now. More pics at Hobby Stock. I didn't get round to finishing off Dragonaut - did it finish being a good or crap show?

I'm in the same boat; I quit after 15 or so episodes because I felt like the whole cast's motivations were too murky or otherwise weak to keep doing what they were doing. Heck, you know it's bad when even fan service can't make up for bad characterization (ugh, Kazuki). Lovely figure by Orchid Seed, but the memories of the show are more than enough to keep me away from buying goods.

Oooooo, I love those eyes, the real ones. And a figure with a pose of one hand on hip is always awesome... the hair too.... this is mighty tempting...

Love Uno Makoto's designs, but haven't seen Dragonauts. Heard it was a pretty crappy show? I might check it out anyway just to see some cute girls lol.

I somehow managed to finish it. Turned out extremely crap. Not worth watching it for the girls. Same with Djudge, I don't want to see anything that reminds me of the show.

She's very cute, I haven't finished Dragonaut because somehow the first episode looked like poo poo. But I remind of Hirano Aya being a seiyuu of some giant boob girl.

Then you'd be missing some pretty good stuff like Vandread and Last Exile. The problem with Gonzo is that they either make something which is good or absolute crap. There is no "OK" series in their works. Consistancy is also an issue. If a show starts off good, it may turn out crap later. Strangely, a crappy start to a show can also lead to a somewhat decent ending...
(ID #293160) Posted on 2008/09/07 00:02
Indeed, Last Exile and Vandread were awesome. I'd kill for a BluRay release of Last Exile. And didn't Gonzo also do Kiddy Grade? I loved that show as well.

Strike Witches duuude!!!! I've normally heard pretty bad stuff about Gonzo too, but didnt stop me from watching Strike Witches. The chara designs alone had me... and I can't wait for the next episode!! GAH!! So good...
(ID #293178) Posted on 2008/09/07 00:29
Are you kidding? Gantz, Desert Punk or Full Metal Panic? Not touched with a ten foot pole? They do come out with some crap, but they also come out with some really, REALLY good stuff. Too much to make such a sweeping dismissal of them!

Twas Crap. No, to be more accurate, if crap got dragonaut on it, Crap would wipe it off. It was that damn bad. I don't know how I managed to finish the whole thing... but at least they're doing a figure of one of the few well proportioned ladies in the show.
(ID #293157) Posted on 2008/09/06 23:59
Show was crap, but this figure's pretty good D:

the show was indeed crap... POWER OF LOVEEEEEE!!! the figure looks alright... not something i would get though.

not my favorite character of the series but that figure is really well made

never see dragonaut, maybe i take a look when i have a time. but the figure is very nice!

I'm not familiar with the show, but that's a pretty good looking figure.

That slight shift from blond to purple of the hair is what caught my interest.Might consider. ;)

I managed to get through all of it and while there were some moments that were enjoyable you won't find me going back for a second viewing. Now lets just hope this figure doesn't have a sixth finger on her right hand!
(ID #293268) Posted on 2008/09/07 02:29
Dragonaut stinks. I quit after 10 or so eps. And with this figure being from Orchid Seed, i doubt it'll turn out as good as the promo.

I've heard Orchid Seed company making side boob showing, I hope this is on a good matter of price.
(ID #293290) Posted on 2008/09/07 03:02
There's something about the hand on her hip that makes her wrist look like it has no bones. Considering how well her other wrist is sculpted, that just makes it even more weird.
(ID #293298) Posted on 2008/09/07 03:23
I finished it, but only to see if it can get any worse:P Just kidding. It actually got little better in the end IMHO. But not a good show overall.

It looks like a terrible random anime with a lot of higher class kids/teens. I't sucks that most anime are like that as of lately : /
(ID #293320) Posted on 2008/09/07 03:54
the eyes and the hair... she was really the only reason i was able to survive thru the first like 5-6 eps of dragonaut... then i dropped it bc i was going to tear my throat out if i forced myself to watch another episode
(ID #293326) Posted on 2008/09/07 03:57
The only thing I keep hearing about Dragonauts is how almost every female there has these gigantic eyes (almost as big as their heads).

As with a ton of series that I manage to *ahem* get all of, I watched like the first 2 or 3 eps. I don't remember anything being remarkable about it, but I'd kinda like to watch it, in spite of the fact that I've read a few negatives about it here.
(ID #293430) Posted on 2008/09/07 09:11

I'm no figure maniac or expert, but there is something about this figure that makes it not look awesome. It's most likely the eyes (the actual ones) or her right hand (the one on the waist). It just doesn't feel like it's up to awesome yet... Anyways, it's still a cute figure, but could have been better. As for the show, haven't seen it. But seems like everyone here doesn't seem to approve of it.
