    Alter Mio Akiyama from K-ON! Review

    We are here today to take a look at a cultural icon, one of the most famous things in its field. Indeed, it is so ubiquitous that some might say that it is overused and overexposed. So without further ado, let’s go ahead and take a look at the Fender Jazz Bass.

  • Yoko Ritona from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Bounty Hunter Version)

    written on  22 Nov 2009  in  Figure Review 20 Comments


    Alter Yoko Ritona from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Review

    My long national nightmare is over! I had preordered Yoko back in spring from a retailer that listed June as her release date. June came and went, as did July and the rest of summer and half of autumn. Finally I said the hell with this and ordered her from OtakuFuel. That reminds me, I probably ought to cancel my original preorder.

  • Yagyu Jubei from Hyakka Ryoran

    Alter Yagyu Jubei from Hyakka Ryoran Review

    Fashionably late, as virtually all Alter releases are, Yagyu Jubei is the latest release from what is perhaps the premier manufacturer of scale figures. She comes from the property Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls, and I’m not entirely certain what that’s supposed to be; the website lists a few upcoming books, but I’m guessing it’s mainly a franchise built to peddle character goods. The original character designs appear to be done by NiΘ, who has also done character designs for Nitro+ H-games like Demonbane and Zoku: Satsuriku no Jango, both of which have also gotten the figure treatment from Alter.

  • Narika Shihoudou from Beat Blades Haruka

    Alter Narika Shihoudou from Beat Blades Haruka Review

    Alter’s Narika is a figure that I’ve been anticipating since she was announced. I really like Alicesoft’s character designs and given Alter’s history of producing superb figures, I had high expectations for Narika. As usual, Alter does not disappoint, as they’ve made another amazing figure.

  • Nadie from El Cazador de la Bruja

    Alter Nadie from El Cazador de la Bruja Review

    With no figures in the mail, I turn to my existing collection for photography practice. Let’s take a look at Nadie, one of the heroines of El Cazador de la Bruja. Nadie is a fairly old figure and she’s been on my shelf for a while; I had to clean some spiderwebs off of her before I took pictures. Yucko.

    Alter T-elos from Xenosaga Review

    T-elos stands malevolent, but how can one radiate menace when one forgets to attend to such a prominent cowlick?
