Nanoha Takamachi

Looks like the up n coming huge 1/4 scale Nanoha Takamachi by goodsmile as quite a handful - anybody care to lend her a hand?
Due out in May and retails for 12,000 yen. See more pics at GSC.

1/4? Trying to compete with FREEing? :p
Although i think Nanoha looks a lot better what FREEing has to offer. Great job. I see this as a hot item. They'll sure sell out.

Hmmm... and I'm in the middle of watching Striker's S right now too! Even though the I love the huge 1/4 scale figures the prices will be utter death to my wallet. I am interested in seeing how the 1/4 Fate will look from what the GSC blurb says.
Student, Artist
It's just StrikerS, kinda like that one season of Sailor Moon.
This makes me both happy I'm not into figure collecting (Partly because I share a closet, and would get some weird stares) and sad I'm not and don't have money. Nanoha is my absolute FAVORITE magical girl.

Too big, and I already have two Nanoha figures (Teaching Corps, Figma), which is one too many.

not too much a fan of huge figures with hefty pricetags, she looks alright though

Thats not a bad price.

Very nice pose and amazing attire. Too bad she's expensive...and a bit too big for my tastes. Scale wise, I mean. Cup size...perfect.

She looks great. <3
I really want to get a 1/4 scale figure now. They seem like the new thing now. =D

I might get her if I can find some room to put her, 38cm high is huge. Looking forward to Fate more than Nanoha though.

I don't really like the face so it's a no go for me. Plus the shipping's going to be OD expensive, not to mention the already high price.

Very cute but still prefer loli version
*sigh* I think I liked her better as a loli
Sigh... there goes another $120. I'd feel a bit better if the dollar wasn't amazingly weak right now. Actually it'll be more like $240 since it's a sin against figure collecting to not buy Fate-chan as well.

I absolutely NEED this figure. In fact, I already preordered it... >.>

I pre-ordered it, thanks for the heads up Danny ^^;
I prefer the older Nanoha to loli Nanoha. But she'll look a lot better when Fate joins her.
(Maybe they will be able to "dock" together...^^;)
???Confused???
Is nice, but WAY out of my price range...

I don't like this figure her body and her face looks odd. Better bikini figures are out there.

1/4 scale ?! That's huge.

Nanoha is probably my fav from the series, after Fate and it looks like they did a pretty good job with her, this time. I especially like the fact that they spent the extra time to get the shading right.
I wish they'd done something about the 'plasticy' sheen that bikini has, it kinda kills it for me. =(

Love Nanoha-cahn, but come on why cut off the head? XD
Saber's Knight of One
http://www.ultima-i.com
Because they want to show off her body ^^;
Or maybe like Admiral Ackbar would say..."IT'S A TRAP!"
I'll have to keep an eye on that one. I should have enough spare cash for her and postage by May. $300 should cover everything.

i hope they release a fate version
cute and super sexy but I like fate!!!

Gotta pass. I'm currently going after the some of the Alter Nanoha figures and those require quite a bit of my money. Plus, I'd rather have the Volks Nanoha over this one (not that its a bad figure).
I usually don't buy swimsuit figures, but since this is Nanoha, I just might have to make an exception.

http://animestuff.wordpress.com/
Just saw the rest of the pictures and there's something that is not right... The bikini seems to tight in the bottom area plus the "line" separating the butt cheeks is way to long to be normal, I've photographed girls in bikinis and trust me that line isn't that big :P . On the other hand the front of the figure is awesome, love what they did the belly and hips

Adore Nanoha, already have Good Smile Company's 1/8 instructor attire version of her.
This figure looks really nice and I am very tempted but the 1/4 scale is a bit too large and comes with a very steep price tag. Still... so tempting.
How come we're seeing more and more large figures like this? Is this a deliberate new industry move/trend that you know of, Danny?
Ouch, Hawt!!! But i want Fate ver.

Nice!!!
Can't wait to see Fate... I really like her pose in the magazine illustration.

Do want! I like the curves and the smile she has. But at 12,000 yen it's a bit out of my price range T_T
Sexy, but expensive. The price hurts!!!

The figure looks lovely, I've seen pics of this one quite a bit in the last few weeks, and I have been tempted - mostly by Nanoha's bountiful bosom, to be honest ^^

1/4 is a very huge figure but Being Nanoha and in bikini, how can I resist??
I don't mean to sound dumb (usually), but what is this figure from and who is Fate?

Thats some impressive quality and as well as the price tag lol.

I would get this figure without thinking but the price is a barrer for me, I know that it's worthy of it because the scale and because she is beautiful and hot but, as I sai, the price is the barrer.

Pricing is ok for that size, but that *SIZE*. I'm seriously running out of space... I'll pass...

Looks exactly like 2007 Megami Vol. 88 cover, that surely mean Fate is to come shortly after. I too am close to running out of space and have been forced to reorganize my collection every so often. So far I have been able to managed, but a 1/4 would surely occupy a big chunk of space, not to mention the point of this Nanoha is to have Fate standing next to it... sigh.

Too bad her face suffers from the 'Big Bird' effect. It have been buy otherwise.

I'd buy her, but the price is too expensive and if I did get Nanoha I'd end up getting Fate too to put them together.

I know they want to keep to a specific look (and keep the extra-hentai lady lovers away), but I really wish her clothes were made out of fabric. I would probably pay as much as 150$ for it then.

up n coming "huge" 1/4 scale Nanoha Takamachi indeed.
