Iris Hartley from Lorelei; Sea of Stars (NSFW)
Another day, another Tony Taka figure. Not long ago, seeing so many Tony figures would’ve prompted a collective sigh of exasperation but these days, the way Alphamax does them, I’m very happy to see...

Psylocke from the Uncanny X-Force (Fine Art Version)
As I’ve remarked before, even though Japanese anime culture has a number of parallels with Western pop culture, they don’t seem to intersect that often. This is particularly and peculiarly evident in...

Alleyne from Queen’s Blade (Orchid Seed Version) (NSFW)
When figure companies produce products of characters from shows with large casts, it’s typical for them to make figures of most, if not all, of the principal characters. Such a move is logical; after...

Tamaki Kousaka from To Heart 2: Dungeon Travelers (Kaitendoh Version)
Amongst anime hobby companies, Tamaki Kousaka’s popularity as a muse is everlasting. This isn’t always a good thing; the esteem in which she’s held by figure makers occasionally seems excessive, and a...

Hakufu Sonsaku from Ikki Tousen (NSFW)
It feels like it’s been a while since a notable Ikki Tousen figure was released. That’s sort of an odd thing to think, as a common complaint from a few years back was that too many companies were...

Alisa Ilinichina Amiella from God Eater 2 (GE2 Version)
Alisa is the most popular character from God Eater, at least amongst figure companies, and it’s not hard to see why. Since Plum released their first version of her, she’s had one more figure released...

Kozue Sakakibara from T2 Art Girls (NSFW)
Many manufacturers have made figures based on Tony’s illustrations, but today we’ll be looking at a figure from a new company that’s never made a Tony figure before. Okay, technically Dragon Toy seems...

Cammy from Street Fighter (Bishoujo Version)

Sena Kashiwazaki from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT (Gift Swimsuit Version)

Kasumi from Dead or Alive 5
