フィギュア予約


まずはエア・ギアの野山野林檎だ。原型はとても奇麗のだ。店で並ぶこのフィギュアのクオリティーは心配なので、他のレビューを待ってから買うことにします。海外ではYAMATOさんの商品のクオリティーが問われている。

Ummm... To be honest, I'd say that Ringo is not my type of figure at all. And what the hell is with the fifth picture?! Reminds me of Faust from Guilty Gear in that mode.
She would be a must get if she didn't have such... minimalistic clothes (can they even be called clothes at this point?).
Haruka is my favorite of the bunch, enough said. Expect insane leaning with time though.
And Miina, I don't even want to talk about her. She gets a complete fail ranking on my charts (and a WTF special mention as well).

I thought you liked ecchi stuff?

Ecchi? Umm, oh yeah, but it has to remain realistic (even if I am completely crazy over certain fantastic female figures such as mermaids and angels)... I am picky as well.

Simca looks great (at least with long hair only) from what I saw from tribute videos, but does she wear a short short skirt. XD

In the early volumes of the air gear manga, Ringo helped out the main hero team "Kogusamaru" by wearing a top hat, goofy glasses, a cape and a school swimsuit to compete alongside them. I think she used the name "Croissant mask" or something.
In any case, there was a big match against another air gear team in vol 7 (i think) and Kogusamaru wasn't doing too well so Ringo decided to put her costume on and help out. But Simca swapped her costume with the one shown on the figure so Ringo ended up going out in that, putting the bag on her head to hide her face and try to help the team. Except Simca turned up wearing the proper costume to cause some problems...
It was the first time we got a proper glimpse of how powerful Ringo is as a stormrider.
But I'm not interested in any of those figures. And, for me, the definitive Getsumento heiki Mina figure is still the original one which was shown on Densha Otoko (which I own)

Haruka Takamori is adorable and a must have for me(even though I know nothing about the series). But im a little concerned about her leaning with that pose.
Owner, winterheim|hdd

Ringo's outfit is from a scene in Air Gear where she was supposed to go an help Ikki's team in a battle and had to change into her costume which was actually just a school swimsuit, top hat and mask similar to that guy in Sailor Moon but Simca switched her bag with another one which contained bondage stuff. So she ended up joining the battle wearing that and wearing the bag over her head to hide her identity.
Hilarious and hot!

Swimsuit?
It's toned down quite a bit in the Anime, the Manga has the 'full' version of the outfit...

http://lookingglass.kokidokom.net
You mean which volume this costume appears?
Ringo puts it on at the end of Volume 7 of the manga so she walks around in it for the early parts of vol 8
The part where she tries to convince the crowd that simca was a fake croissant mask (while simca is wearing the croissant mask costume)is hilarious!

air gear is a nice anime packed with action and cool moves...i know alot of ppl prefer the manga..but i get headaches reading the complicated drawing of the manga
but as for ringo-san, i actually prefer simca-san from airgear..this has always been on my dreamlist but too expensive to swallow
http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34452
but must admit this ringo-san is very enticing
as for beat blade's haruka, i am familiar with the anime..but do admit the figure is very nice and has a good pose as well...just worried if the figure might bend??? (couldn't locate your article that talks about bended figures)
then finally, mina-san is always a favourite...though not sure will get this one from alter...still very much prefer the one densha has on his desk. does anyone know if its still possible to buy that one?
projectionist, artist
Oh I have that Simca, and it is gorgeous! Well worth the money I say. I also have this Ringo on order. I love the face and pose on this figure. It's so static but at the same time evokes powerful movement.
Ringo is the only figure from Wonderfest that I had on my MUST HAVE list. I saw a lot of great figures, but I decided to cut back.

Getsumen Heiki Miina was on the watch list but I couldn't find subs past 8 and haven't heard anything on a license so I'm kinda bummed about that as it was pretty funny.
If I had the spare coinage I'd definately be getting Ringo.

Ringo looks quite nice but I don't know a thing about the anime and she's a bit too ecchi for placing her in my room. So I guess I'll pass, don't have much money right now anyway.

Haruka might warrant further punishment of my already-wafer-thin wallet. Maybe Ringo too. I suppose it's debt for a good cause...

Yamashita+sama's figure of Ringo is really beautiful. (plus OhGreat is a crazy manga storyteller) Plus the bag was a part of her first "disguise".

I knew they'd be releasing Haruka one day; definetely on the want-list. Ironic though, as only two days ago I spent my last money (and probably my mom's patience too) by ordering Piece@Pieces Nagi. Still can't believe I actualy found her on ebay for a good price ^-^.
Anyways, if I ever get Haruka, I guess I'll try to get her together with Narika: twin ninja girls on the shelf xD

god, Jlist is such a ripoff. They charge like $20 over what figures cost at retail. I got an entire box of the Lucky Star Puchi Nendroids from Hobby Search SHIPPED for $75, and there were 2 complete sets in there, and they want $90 for one set. I've had a mixed history with them too. One time I got something broken and so they shipped me another without sending back the one I had, so that was good, and around xmas they ensured that I got my best friend's gifts through EMS on time. But then there have been a few times where I'll order a magazine and not get the extras they advertise on the site that supposedly come with it, or like I ordered a hanko that supposedly takes 2-4 weeks to be made, and it's been like over 2 months now and I still don't have it. Mainly though, my contention is that I don't like being taken for a stupidass, and I can check to see how much nearly everything on J-List's site is elsewhere, and it's nearly always cheaper. And Danny, I know you have ads for them as a sponsor and I hate to decry them, because I like them, I really do (they're the only company on the net that still stocks "up-to-date" snacks), but I've had some bad blood with them.

Now the Haruka figure does go on my list! This one I'm looking forward too very much.

Once I saw your pictures of the Air Gear character I immediately pre-ordered this at Bigbadtoystore.com.
It might be an "ecchi" figure, but the sculpt and quality is something you cannot ignore. Even if her "eyes" and "junk in the trunk" are..... tantilizing.
Yummy! :P

That's so great that they are doing a new Getsumen ToHeiki Mina figure...but am I the only one who wants to see a mass retail version of her released with her outfit in the original Densha Otoko colors (with the purple gloves and all)?
I really wish that they'd at least do a variant of the figure in those colors...I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

I just pre-ordered Ringo. It's an excellent sculpt, with a very good pose and on a 1/6 scale. On a cost:quality ratio I think I'll get something worth every penny. I won't be embarrassed to display it one bit. I would've pre-ordered Haruka as well, if it weren't for the risky leaning pose.

but then again, kotobukiya is producing a near identical Ringo pvc which is kinda odd in itself, so my chances of at least getting a Ringo figure increase... ._.
but still, kinda strange that kotobukiya and alter are producing so many pvc figures from the same series and characters. Almost seems like a war of figure makers.
