Preorder Outlook LV

written on July 31, 2018 by Tier

First, a housekeeping note; I’ve enabled SSL on this website, in accordance with Google’s dictate that websites should now encrypt communications between host and client. I think this occurred without problems but if anyone notices any errors, I’d appreciate it … Continue reading →

Ping-Yi from T2 Art Girls (NSFW)

written on July 22, 2018 by Tier

Apparently I haven’t reviewed a Tony Taka-designed figure since Freesia, which is confounding since I think I have at least a dozen Tony figures in hand and in the review queue. Clearly there is much work to do; we’ll start … Continue reading →

Yayoi B. Lutwidge from Hapymaher (NSFW)

written on July 16, 2018 by Tier

Mangagamer released the English-language – and uncensored – version of Purple Software’s Hapymaher last week and being that this figure of Yayoi was released ten months ago, now seems as good a time as any to take a look at … Continue reading →

Scathach from Fate/Grand Order (Roomwear Mode Version)

written on July 12, 2018 by Tier

Fads come and go. Over ten years of collecting girly anime figures, I’ve seen series like K-On!, Black Rock Shooter, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, and Ikkitousen have their day before fading off into memory. However, there is one series that … Continue reading →

Archeyle from Elf Village (NSFW)

written on July 4, 2018 by Tier

Archeyle isn’t the first, nor the second or third, Vertex figure I’ve purchased but somehow it’s the first one to be reviewed here. Oddly, it’s also one of two half-naked blonde elf girl figures to be released at the end … Continue reading →

Oshitsuke from the Art of Ishikei (NSFW)

written on June 27, 2018 by Tier

We have for our examination today the latest and greatest from those inscrutable minds at Rocket Boy and Native. Unfortunately this lady has no name, being that she is simply given the title OSHITSUKE; doubtless lowbrow observers will snicker at … Continue reading →

Mai Shiranui from The King of Fighters XIV (Amakuni Version)

written on June 20, 2018 by Tier

Mai Shiranui has been a favorite muse for figure manufacturers for well over a decade now, and for good reason; she is one of the earliest female fighting game heroines and stars in one of the most long-running game franchises, … Continue reading →

Preorder Outlook LIV

written on May 31, 2018 by Tier

I haven’t done one of these posts (or any post, really) in a while so now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the figures I’m considering preordering. A huge number of figures … Continue reading →

Dva from the Melon Books Hermaphrodite Tapestry (NSFW)

written on April 30, 2018 by Tier

Native has been so prolific that there are days where I get one of their figures in the mail and am not immediately sure what it is. This inundation of porno figures is of course due to them being not … Continue reading →

Rei Ayanami from Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

written on March 21, 2018 by Tier

Yamato never got a lot of love from figure collectors. Most of their products aren’t particularly well-remembered and nobody seemed to mourn their demise; indeed, I don’t think many people even noticed, nor was it really acknowledged when they briefly … Continue reading →
