AkibaHobby has more pics of the raeped Lucky Star girls.
I hear from folks in the figure industry that people are buying these for reasons that Bandai (the makers of these Q-Joy "figures") didn't expect - not because they look cool but because of the novelty factor.
Novelty or not - me no wants. Bandai should stick with what they do best - Gunpla.
My reaction to these figures below. Whats your reaction?

Well, I guess that I will never fully understand what is in the mind of many people.
Art is so complicated. Sometimes it's brilliant and no one cares, while in other instances it's complete garbage and masses love it. (Naturally, the Q-Joy figures represent the second case... But hey if there are people who love them, it's their problem!)

Nay, that was a private chopper I "borrowed". XD Really, Bandai should leave it to the experts and focus on giving us the best kits the universe can offer; because when they did the 1/35 Lancelot, the "chin" looked weird. A rather exposed flaw in an otherwise perfect kit :S Or maybe there was a reason for it?

Oh, a question came to mind in the meantime (sorry for commenting again):
Are you sure that it is really what is happening and not an ill tentative from the Q-Joy branch to advertise their products?

The pom poms kinda look like bunches of square bananas. Or possibly energy attacks starting. I wonder if when they made this figure, they meant "This is what Tsukasa would look like if she were a marionette".

with all their achivement with Gunpla, HCMpro, and Saint Seiya figure, you would expect them to make something a little better than this? seriously? something like the old marin from the 1st gen saint seiya figures is wayy better than this...
and to mention they now have new female figures with better proportion on the new generations
this looks like something u would get when u buy a happy meal.
