This fishnet stocking Hoshino Aki pic was posted earlier on by SlickDog and the first thing that came in my mind was the Haruhi Bunny.
If you was going to be stuck on a deserted island, would you take a life sized waterproof photo of Aki or the Haruhi Bunny?

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.

    Haha, great question, Danny~ A 2D image of a 3D girl *OR* a 3D figure of a 2D character?
    ===
    Desert island? Tough one. But Haruhi might have the edge~ More views of her from more angles. Though I hope she won't melt! ^_^;

      wait what? I think he was talking about a life sized photo of either the Haruhi figure, or of Aki. You don't get no figure.

      Aki all the way. I love my PVC girls, but the real thing (or at least a photo) is still always better.

    As much of a Haruhi fan as I am, I think I'd choose the life-size pic of Aki, instead. Hot 3D girl beats hot 2D girl everytime (even if we're only talking photos versus figures). ^_^

    I would choose a swiss knife or a first aid box or something that'll increase my chance of survival on a deserted island.

    It would be quite interesting to think of all the things you can do with a life-sized waterproof photograph when you are stuck on an island, though. Make a rain-resistant shelter? Use it to corner fish and scoop it out of the water? Use it to collect dew every morning if there isn't any freshwater?

    Hoshino's, because that's the way i want to be remembered when they find my modified remains buried in the beach.

    Now, seriously, I think Hishino's body is more erotic, BUT the face is kind of a turn off, that's the best thing about figures, they are so pretty!! But then again face is usually the first fault of a figure, that's why i prefer 2D images of 2D girls.
