Psylocke from the Uncanny X-Men (Sideshow Premium Format Version)

written on June 30, 2012 by Tier

written on June 26, 2012 by Tier

Figure makers used to regularly look towards eroge and ero anime, but these days, that appears to be a diminishing trend. Fortunately, Daiki Kougyou is here to remind us that hardcore hentai properties deserve figures, too.

written on June 23, 2012 by Tier

As I am waiting for the figure of the year to arrive (AKA Daiki Kougyou’s Imari Kurumi), I think now is a good time for pillow case show-and-tell. This day’s pillowcase features Nanoha Takamachi, renowned officer of the Time-Space Administration … Continue reading →

written on June 19, 2012 by Tier

It can be difficult to come up with an attractive way to shoot a figure like this. Satsuki isn’t exactly what you would call exciting or dynamic, but she does have the advantage of having an unusual backstory. That led … Continue reading →

written on June 13, 2012 by Tier

As reliable as death and taxes is Alter’s proclivity for making figures of characters from the Nanoha series. This one was a bit surprising though, as it appeared that they had wrapped up the StrikerS series with Vivio a couple … Continue reading →

Cat and Chair from Planet of the Cats (NSFW)

written on June 6, 2012 by Tier

Oh the indignity; not only is this character chained to a chair, she isn’t even granted the courtesy of a proper name. And her moniker gets merely equal billing with the furniture that she’s sitting on.

Preorder Outlook XIX

written on May 31, 2012 by Tier

Preorder time! Man these Roman numeral post titles are getting unwieldy. I really did not think I was going to run this site for more than a year so I did not put much thought into it but generally speaking, … Continue reading →

Dakimakura Review – Dizzy from Guilty Gear XX (NSFW)

written on May 22, 2012 by Tier

On the surface, dakimakura covers might appear to comprise a flagrant waste of money. Well, on the other hand, most hobbies are massive wastes of money and when a dakimakura cover depicts one of my favorite characters – maybe my … Continue reading →

Noel Vermillion from BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (Queen’s Gate Version)

written on May 16, 2012 by Tier

Voice synthesis software and eroge company mascots get scads of figures but fighting game characters are mostly an afterthought in the corporate mindset of figure makers. Heck, I’ve got another Super Sonico on order and another one still in its … Continue reading →
