[Review] Sera-Chan x Figure

SERA-CHAN from Kotobukiya

Sera-chan is a 1/7th scale PVC figure sculpted by Mitumasa Yoshizawa (Reflect), and produced by Kotobukiya. Sera-chan is another figure based off a design by Shunya Yamashita, featured in his artbook, Sweet Dreams.

Apart from the clothing and hair colour, this figure doesn’t really resemble the original drawing. However, that’s no bad thing because this is an equally beautiful character. The original Sera-chan is portrayed as a cute schoolgirl and probably wouldn’t strike such a provocative pose. This is a sexed up Sera-chan with a “come and get me look”. Me likes =)

[Review] Arisa x Figure

ARISA from Yamato (Creator’s Labo)

Arisa 1/7 Scale PVC figure by Yamato’s Creators’ Labo. This is the original version, Yamato have since released Arisa in another colour variant.

Yamato bring’s another one of Shunya’s designs to PVC form, whilst doubling her breast-size in process. The original concept depicts a cute girl in sultry school top and knickers, choosing a guitar as the weapon of choice, as opposed to the usual sword.

The pose is spot on, but I can’t get over the gi-normous eyes the sculpter (“Sunny Day”), er, sculpted.

I’ve kept her skirt on, as this is how I have her on display – sorry! I’ve also noticed that her skirt is on the wrong way, so you get a ‘light-wind-breeze-revealing-bum-cheek’ sort of pose ^^

Anyway, more pics of Arisa follows.

[Review] Shii Arisugawa x Figure

SHII ARISUGAWA from Kotobukiya

Shii Arisugawa, released by Kotobukiya, is a damn fine recreation of Shunya Yamashita’s designs. She (or Shii – hahaha..ha…. sorry) is a 1/7 scale PVC figure, and comes packaged with her sword, a pink mobile phone and glasses.

Shii is one of my favourite Shunya figure – scrap that – one of my fav out of my whole figure collection. I still remember seeing her in a hobby shop, months before I started collecting myself, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Returning to the store months later, I was disappointed to find out it was sold out (can’t blame them!) – this lead me onto a searching hunt, which also introduced me to several other figures, thus triggering the domino affect.

I ended up buying Shii from a seller on eBay, second hand. It was in very good condition, but I still wished I’d bought her new now (“no other guy can touch her! NO ONE!!!”). Lame jokes aside, enjoy the pictures of Shii!

space – doh! you caught me!

Shunya Feature x Figures Pt.2

SCHOOL OF YAMASHITA: The Figures of Shunya Yamashita

Firstly, I’ve got to apologise to all (two) of my fans for the extremely long delay in getting the second part of the feature out – I’ve got loads of excuses on standby, but it all boils down to pure laziness (sorry!)

Anyway, i’m back now (hopefully for good!) and, as you can see, i’ve brought the second part of the feature with me – yay!

Part 2’s theme is the “School of Yamashita”, which follows the figures of 3 school girls, and a seductive teacher/office lady who needs no introduction.
