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.

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.

  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? ^^;

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...

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

  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 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?

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.
