That’s pretty cool about the Rei figure; unfortunately I have no experience building resin models (although I’m interested in starting; I’ve been thinking about picking up an entry-level airbrush and compressor but I don’t really have enough space to paint and build models right now). Hmm, he says that there’s a limited run being released at the end of this month, and that it’s over a foot tall (maybe the 15 cm height listed on Hobby Search is for the figure itself?). Dang, I guess I am going to have to accelerate my decision making.

I’m not sure who my favorite Ikkitousen girl is, but Ryofu is awesome. I was flipping through the Battle Vixens manga (a simultaneously awful and awesome name) and I was struck by how it seemed like Kaku Bunwa was going to be one of the chief antagonists, and then she just sort of faded into obscurity. I wonder if the author just got bored with her.

I’ve got the Sheryl on preorder as well, but I’m still hoping for a resin kit of her goth cosume.

As for the Rei, you do know that it comes with an unpainted resin kit, right? At least that’s what tokyohunter wrote up. I’m kinda interested since it’s been years since I last did a Rei resin kit (and said kit has disappeared…)

And yeah, Ryofu is the best girl in Ikkitousen!!!

Yeah, I’d imagine so … I haven’t looked at the price tag for Dollfie accessories, but I know that clothing for 1/6 scale dolls can cost as much as 1/1 scale clothes, and I’d guess Dollfie stuff is even pricier (not to mention the cost of the doll bodies themselves).

I hope so on Yoshika but now that I think about it, I can’t think of many (or any) Alter figures that had removable parts, other than weapons.

I agree on Ryofu, I like her character design a lot, even though she wasn’t in the manga for very long (I guess she came back in Great Guardians? I haven’t watched it yet, maybe I’ll watch it this holiday weekend). Plus, nobody’s really made a definitive figure of her; Griffon’s got a few medicore ones I think, but Ryofu deserves at least one high-quality figure.

I’ll have to take your word on the MMOs I’ve actually only played Lineage II. From what I’ve seen, a lot of them are either very repetitive or PVP-oriented, which isn’t really what I’m looking for. I might give some of the free-to-play ones a fair shot when I get a new computer, though.

Yoshika: Hehe ^^ Yeah I find those animal parts kinda unecessary as well ^^ The ears look like they could be removed similar to GSC Horo ^^ Wonder about bottom part ^^ I saw those exchangable 2 on some figures ^^ Could be funny… Was thinking on to get her, but since Ikkitousen poped up with Mou and Kakouen, Yoshika is out for now ^^ Maybe if Alter goes for other characters as well… cuz now it seems that various companies split Strike Witch fleet ^^

Yukino and Kanade… no you shouldnt split those ^^;

Alleyne: Dont worry ^^ She will be a cast off for sure ^^ I think you will be able to put down all besides her gloves and boots ^^

Kakouen is nice but I would like to see Ryofu ^^ Not rly cuz she is one of topones… but simply like her char design ^^

Btw Korean MMORPGs are not that bad ^^ Some titles are very nice, have interesting background stories and awesome graphics/characters and gameplay ^^

This Ultra Vibration Valkyrie does look pretty good and cute (under normal circumstances I would have ordered her as well), battle instructor is good too, Rei is cool, not sure about the “realistic yoko” kind of a turn off for me. But this is not normal time for me anymore, my finances are being controlled by my daughters…
