Chloe von Einzbern from Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA

written on July 31, 2016 by Tier

We looked at Illya last time, so logically, today we’ll be looking at her counterpart, Chloe (sometimes romanized as Kuro, which I think sounds better and is thematically more appropriate, but nobody consulted me). We’ll keep this review brief as … Continue reading →

As it is way too hot in this part of the world, we’ll look this week at Illya and Chloe von Einzbern, two girls who are dressed to beat the heat. They’re a little young-looking but that shouldn’t be anything … Continue reading →

Preorder Outlook XLVII

written on June 30, 2016 by Tier

The exchange rate is tanking – thanks UK – but the business of purchasing figures continues apace. I’ve left off a bunch of exclusive figures since I’ve lost track of most of them, but I may wind up getting them … Continue reading →

Innocent Fairy Freesia from Tony’s Heroine Collection

written on June 13, 2016 by Tier

The third panty fairy in Kotobukiya’s lineup is Freesia. She is evidently the youngest of the trio and thus it is appropriate that she was the last to be released – just a couple of months ago, in fact, so … Continue reading →

Fairy Garden Annabel from Tony’s Heroine Collection

written on May 31, 2016 by Tier

A few years back, Kotobukiya released Daisy, which became one of my favorite figures. Since then, they’ve released two more panty-clad fairy girl figures, also derived from Tony Taka artwork. They are generally referred to as sisters, though they don’t … Continue reading →

Black Heart from Hyperdimension Neptunia

written on May 19, 2016 by Tier

We’ll take a short respite from reviewing hentai figures and instead look at this figure of Black Heart – not the demonic villain from the Marvel Comics universe, but the Sony-themed goddess from the Hyperdimension Neptune video game franchise. Compile … Continue reading →

Marie from Shinazu no Himegimi (NSFW)

written on April 30, 2016 by Tier

We’ll continue our exploration of hentai figures with this one, the debut product from the company Rocket Boy. Some depictions of vampires, demonesses, and succubi – such as Darkstalkers’s Morrigan and Viper GTS’s Carrera – present them as feminine, full-figured … Continue reading →

Fuumanin Hime Kagura from the Lechery HENTAI Series (NSFW)

written on April 7, 2016 by Tier

The conventional wisdom would have it that Japanese anime and tentacles go together like politics and corruption. As is often the case, the veracity of this stereotype is overstated; these days, even in adult-oriented media, there aren’t really that many … Continue reading →

Preorder Outlook XLVI

written on March 31, 2016 by Tier

It’s been too long since the last preorder post and there are way too many figures to discuss. I’ve left off Japan-exclusive figures, since there are so many that I haven’t yet looked at the ones that I might be … Continue reading →

Nurse Momoi from the Native Creators Collection (NSFW)

written on March 8, 2016 by Tier

Back in the day, getting a Native figure was a rare and exciting moment. The thrill has been lessened somewhat by the proliferation of excellent sexually explicit figures – particularly those from SkyTube – but nonetheless, Native is still amongst … Continue reading →
