This rather sweet figure of Sieglinde Baumgard from Dragonaut will be out next Jan and retail for 6,800 yen by Orchid Seed. Shes up for pre-order now. More pics at Hobby Stock.
I didn't get round to finishing off Dragonaut - did it finish being a good or crap show?

    I'm in the same boat; I quit after 15 or so episodes because I felt like the whole cast's motivations were too murky or otherwise weak to keep doing what they were doing. Heck, you know it's bad when even fan service can't make up for bad characterization (ugh, Kazuki). Lovely figure by Orchid Seed, but the memories of the show are more than enough to keep me away from buying goods.

    Oooooo, I love those eyes, the real ones. And a figure with a pose of one hand on hip is always awesome... the hair too.... this is mighty tempting...

    Love Uno Makoto's designs, but haven't seen Dragonauts. Heard it was a pretty crappy show? I might check it out anyway just to see some cute girls lol.

    I somehow managed to finish it. Turned out extremely crap. Not worth watching it for the girls. Same with Djudge, I don't want to see anything that reminds me of the show.

    She's very cute, I haven't finished Dragonaut because somehow the first episode looked like poo poo. But I remind of Hirano Aya being a seiyuu of some giant boob girl.

      Then you'd be missing some pretty good stuff like Vandread and Last Exile.

      The problem with Gonzo is that they either make something which is good or absolute crap. There is no "OK" series in their works.
      Consistancy is also an issue. If a show starts off good, it may turn out crap later. Strangely, a crappy start to a show can also lead to a somewhat decent ending...

        Indeed, Last Exile and Vandread were awesome. I'd kill for a BluRay release of Last Exile. And didn't Gonzo also do Kiddy Grade? I loved that show as well.

    Twas Crap.

    No, to be more accurate, if crap got dragonaut on it, Crap would wipe it off. It was that damn bad. I don't know how I managed to finish the whole thing...

    but at least they're doing a figure of one of the few well proportioned ladies in the show.

    As with a ton of series that I manage to *ahem* get all of, I watched like the first 2 or 3 eps. I don't remember anything being remarkable about it, but I'd kinda like to watch it, in spite of the fact that I've read a few negatives about it here.

    I'm no figure maniac or expert, but there is something about this figure that makes it not look awesome. It's most likely the eyes (the actual ones) or her right hand (the one on the waist). It just doesn't feel like it's up to awesome yet... Anyways, it's still a cute figure, but could have been better. As for the show, haven't seen it. But seems like everyone here doesn't seem to approve of it.
