Needa Schuetlitch
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce that Needa Schuetlitch is full cast off ^o^
So I've been spending a lot of time with Good Smile lately and was in their offices again yesterday.
Whenever I'm with the Good Smile folks, I always seem to utter the name "Needa" in each sentence I spoke for some reason.
They concluded that the only way to remedy my symptom was to pull out the master cast copy and let me play about with it ^o^
Just a quick reminder that the final version will look slightly different from this.
I couldn't remove the clothing on the back for the master cast without breaking her ^^;
The final version will obviously have fully removable clothing though.
Isn't she the only person that you'd love to be stabbed by?
Hypnotic eyes. Yamashita Shunya is the man!
Was a great surprise to find out about the castoff functionality - her clothes didn't look removable at the Wonfes show.
Yum.
She got a huge sexy gun too.
Some of the bits n pieces that come with her.
Needa should be going up for pre-order next month.
Expct to see a *LOT* more from Good Smile and Max Factory right here at dannychoo.com ^^

purple underwear = instant nosebleed!!!
Can you explain: "full cast-off"? Does this mean that even the gorgeous purple thingies come off??
that would be nose-bleed indeed!

Hey, I was wondering if you knew how the sculptors at GoodSmile were hired and if any of them have gone to art school or did they all just learn from books?

The cast-off on figures in a very interesting(and fun GIHAGIHA)option, but not esential, I think...
Needa is simply amaizing. Can`t wait to get her, maybe the best figure of the Shunya Yamashita series at the moment..?

Saw this in one of your earlier posts and thought about letting it pass since I already have a figure with the "girl with the big gun" theme. Now I've changed my mind. I hope they'll sell it over here! (^_^)x

OUTSTANDING! I love "Big Guns"!
Will definitely have to pick this one up.

Can you get them to make a figure of my character :V

yeh umm i cant yet afford figure collecting right now it would be a very expensive way of life :P
but this is amazing figure here and i don't even watch the series...yet

I think the problem with a lot of castoffs is that they rely on this for sales. Needa looks great though! I was never really into figures before going to this site. I have to say I prefer her with the massive hand cannon. So... what does she do with that hand when its not holding a weapon?
Student
DANNY! Thank you so much for posting this! Was waiting so long for it! Now, it has 2 diff sets of clothes? SWEET! Hope u can update this ASAP with the expected price! Thx!

Dragun,
Cover her eyes?
GHOST,
Will do ^^
Gerbera04g,
They vary. I know a few who took no classes etc and seemed to be gifted with sculpting.
Wildarms,
If you can guarantee to sell 5000 units then I will ask ^^
nirodha35,
Two meanings.
1:Everything can come off.
2:Everything not including underwear can come off.

Danny.. cover her "eyes"? Sorry about the off topic, I was trying to tell them to post it on something else.

I am not even sure where to buy figures if you want them. Im in the US, and it seems like Hobbyfan dot com has a good selection, but I dont know if its a reliable company to buy from, any feedback?

woah, she is even sexier now :O
I think it's something about skin tone and lips, but this looks to be the closest figure yet to Shunya's style.
As far as cast off's go, I appreciate them, but they always leave me wanting to buy multiples.

Probably my next Shunya figure ^^ since I only have two (Mirei and Sera) but I'm running out of space for my stuff :P

Man, the shading (or blushing?) on her face just brings it out so much. Hopefully it'll be there on the mass produced figure. Her underwear is also pretty sweet!

Wow, that figure was kinda ok when i first saw it, but for the first time ever, a cast off has convinced me its worth getting!
She looks awesome in that lingerie - nice and classy, detailed and the colour goes with her hair. Id probably keep her like that, though her uniform is pretty damn snazzy.
I also prefer the knife pose too, as big guns on chicks bore me these days.
This one has just become a definate buy. Ill be keeping my eyes on my regular shop for pre-orders appearing!
Nice to see youre getting chummy with GoodSmile. Stepping ever closer to the mirai figure?

Wow, I liked it before when you showed it to us at Wonfest but now.... yeah, I think i'm going to have really get this one now. It'll be my first figure with so much cast off. Could you tell us if it comes with two sets of the outfit? or will there be two versions the torn up distressed one and the clean and neat one? decisions decisions....

Great figure, love the blush. It'd be great if she had a "CAST OFF!" button on the back.

i foresee many collectors will probably buy 2. display 1 with clothes on and 1 without.
for me, i'll buy 1. hmm... i can't decide whether to pose her with or without clothes. decision decision decision. ('~')

The idea of being able to remove her underwear makes it much more enjoyable to look at it.

This figure is AWESOME! The eyes a so nice and the rest, no word. One more think i love purple...
I must have this one so bad...
???Confused???
I agree those eyes are pretty hypnotic...her face looks so alive...maybe it's the hair or the lighting, but it kinda looks to me like she's blushing a bit...
my kind of figure, but dun like the tattered clothes, the lingerie mode is so nice.
the gun might look betta on a gundam, lol.

Danny, If you make a Mirai figure, I will buy one. Hell, I will give you the money right now and pre-order it to show you how serious I am. It would be my first figure, and It might even lead to others.

Such a beautifully sculpted figure. I must have it!

Although i didn't know the character, it is nice to have her if I have extra money in my wallet. Too bad.
http://yuuwaku.wordpress.com
hmm she looks really awesome already but! Call me shallow or perverted, but I'm a little disappointed that she doesn't show as much skin/undergarments as the other figures when her clothes are tattered! lol
It would have been neat if instead of the bottom part of her shirt being ragged, if maybe her shirt were slashed open instead, showing a little bit of cleavage.
In any case I still have the figure preordered!
Pressman
Being from the US, i fully appreciate the "cast off" feature, our country is so uptight about this kind of stuff.
I think a womans body is a thing of beauty and i wish i could find more statues and such here that show the nude female form but all we have are horrible looking resin figures and so-so looking statues.
I am also an artist so i appreciate the work that went into making the beautiful anime figures that i have been collecting for a while now and no, i have not counted how many i have so far.
Teacher who likes toysssss~
Wow....really love this figure, hope to get one for my bf soon for his coming birthday~

how do you tell if a figure can be 'cast off'
I wouldn't want to pull at my own figures to determine for myself, for fear of unrepairable damage
