Fauna
Probably the cutest figure in my collection.
GoodSmile and Max Factory finally release the figure that I've been waiting months for - am pleased to tell you that she looks exactly as we saw her in previous events.
Fauna from the eroge Megachu has the POLO system installed - in this case meaning that the lace and white dress are removable.
Paint and sculpt work is absolutely fantastic.
The inside of the dress on the upper half of the body has no paint so no worries about paint rubbing off on her skin unlike Tomoe. However, her skin may start to rub off on the clothing if not careful - tips at the end of this article.
Pre-order at your fave online dealer
[*] Kid Nemo Company [*] HobbyLink Japan [*] Anime USA [*] J List [*] Anime Xing [*] Otaku Fuel [*] #''#B000TIU91I,ファウナ,Amazon#''# [*] Or set up an Amazon Associates account and order through your own aStore - learn how.
Members who have been signed up for a while will know about the nosebleed function - click on the "View this image without the Mirai mark" to view the uncensored version.
You can register from the top of the page ("login") but can only use the feature if you have been registered for more than 7 days - encourages folks to register early and discourages registrations of folks who just want to view the censored pics.
A few modifications recommended - cut the top of the lace skirt or the paint around her panties may start to rub off.
Make a slit in the lace top in the back of the neck - or paint around her neck may start to rub off too. Her hair covers this so you cant see the slit.
File down this bit or you'll have to tug on Fauna quite a lot for when you want to play cast off.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

wow danny, your camera is super clear... hmm wondering if i should get this..

My figure is somewhere over the Pacific right now, so hopefully I've have it in my hands in a couple days. Thanks for the recommendations on the modifications. I'll take a look at my figure and see if I need to do them, though I don't really plan on playing cast off that much. Fauna's just going to end up sitting in my cabinet. ;)

I just received my Fauna in the mail yesterday. Super cute! The modifications aren't necessary for me, because well, I don't plan on putting the clothes back on it. XD

Is really cute,and the pose is graceful, but I dunno, maybe I`ll get her if see around...

http://animestuff.wordpress.com/
Definitely one of the cutest figures I've seen this year. I wouldn't mind getting her, but her price is way of my budget :(
Otherwise fantastic, however (opinion incoming!) her face looks a bit retarded, no offence or anything, but it seems vacant enough to land her in a special education class. ^^

Sakari, I'd say "positively surprised".
Still her facial expression does not attract me at all.

Wow! Nice detailing on the pantsu~ Overall, i find it quite appealing. But the face does look odd from certain angles

This one looks good...
Better than the other one by... Alter?
Anyway Fauna is not on my buy list...

Nice. I liked to one from Alter better (cuter), so I canceled this MaxFactory version. Maybe if it weren't the holiday season and having to spend money on other people, I would have doubled up on Fauna. ^.^

@Danny! You cut her in half! lol, shes cute, I would buy it, but I dont think I could convince my gf that the castoff is acceptable. What excuse did you use Danny, research?

Yay for Fauna! @DRAGUN just say to the gf, "You wouldn't understand . . ." I haven't tested that phrase anywhere yet but it sounds like it'll work, maybe.

Awesome review, Danny!
I got mine 5 days ago, and I'm really happy I decided to skip Alter's version to get this one.

syrix, you do surprise me at times with comments like this (My mind is still blocked at "bukkake? WTF enjoys this?!"). I was also wondering if you were sarcastic or not there. ^^
purchasing
She's cute no doubt about it, but I'm not to sure about the whole completely naked look. But still it's a must have if I could only find it!!

http://djet0.deviantart.com/
Wow, I gernerally avoid and tend to dislike cast-offs, but Fauna is a want. I think it's probably because of she reminds of Milfieulle. Good catch, DC.

I was on the fence w/ this one. But those pics are tipping me over da line. And I'll grab Fauna if I can find it from a domestic retailer.

Mine arrived about 15 min. ago and she's just too cute. I've done away with the lace stuff altogether, now I just need to file down the joint somewhat to do the castoff easier

I love her. I want her. SOOO MUCH. She is one of the only figures I would ever consider spending more than £50 on. (In the UK prices are HIGH) Fumie from Edleweiss is another I would gladly splash for. But Fauna... oh how I want her... I wouldn't undress her, she's cute just the way she is!!!
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this was a while back..... I've finally got Fauna ordered!!! And I already own Fumie!!! :woop:

It's weird to think, a main figure post like this would get most likely 100 or so comments in hours now, but back last year nowhere near that much. Dannychoo.com has grown so much.

i just received the shipping confirmation from HLJ... i wonder how long it actually takes- the website says
SAL: 7-45 days (varies greatly by country -- Brazil, Belgium and Italy are especially slow)

Such a cute figure! Love the cast off features~~
Has anyone ever ordered anything from Toylet.net? Wondering if they are trustworthy, because there based in the US and their prices are cheaper than Japan based stores....Trying to decide where my first figure purchase should be from.
