Topic: I'm the next Tomonobu Itagaki

[Halbred]

It's not secret that I have lots of girlie figures, of superheroines, video game babes, and various other franchise-specific girls. I've had a few requests to parade them around, so here they be, complete with commentary.

Ame-Comi's Batgirl
Height: About ten inches
Cost: Cheaper than this line is now
Cup Size: Amazing
Costume Changes: I approve, generally
Best Part: Aside from the rack, probably the bomber-style helmet

Ame-Comi's Power Girl
Secret ID: Kara Zor-L, Karen Starr, Busty Flying Lass
Height: About 10 inches
Cup Size: It's like they know me personally
Costume Changes: Certainly a more futuristic look. I like it.
Bubbleheaded Bleach Blonde: She comes on at 5
Stupidest Part: Aside from her clueless expression, the giant gold chain is pretty retarded

Ame-Comi's Wonder Woman
Height: 11 inches when you count her tentacle hair
Costume changes: Look, they had to do something. This is pretty cool, I think.
Cup Size: Certainly not where I'd put it, but respectable nonetheless
Arm status: Shielded
Fun Fact: You can almost recreate her in Soul Calibur IV
Expression: Pissed

Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Catwoman
Height: About 9 inches
Breast Shape: Torpedo
Cup Size: Large enough to prevent her from zipping all the way up
Face: Way too Asian-influenced
Is That Batman? No, it's just a Batman-shaped gargoyle
Accessories: Two stupid cats that fall over constantly, and a bendy whip

Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Wonder Woman
Height: About 8 inches
Cup Size: Christina Hendricks-esque
Yeah, Whatever: No, seriously, from any other angle she is spilling out from all sides
Awesome: I know, right?
Base: Pretty effing cool, what with the Sparta-themed shield and helmet
Stupidest Element: I've never liked that Lasso of Truth

Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Black Widow
Height: About 8 inches
Cup Size: Hard to say--they're kind of squashed together unrealistically
Huh? Maybe I should've taken a front shot. They look like two round rocks touching in the middle.
That's disappointing: I know.
Despite that: She's a great, dynamic figure with cool hair and the gun and...honestly, a nice ass.

Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Rogue
Do You Like This Line? Yes. Yes I do.
Height: About 8 inches
Cup Size: Not X-Men: Schism big, but big enough
The Little Details: I effing love 'em. Look at those creases in her boots. SO GREAT.
90's Short Jacket: Why the hate? I love those things.

Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Phoenix
Height: About 9 inches
Cost: Free, since I had a bunch of store credit
Why Did You Get the Red One? I kind of wish I had, since Rogue is also green.
Cup Size: Kind of ridiculous, even for me.
Breast Shape: Sidewinders is what they call 'em.
Favored Element: She likes fire, I guess. I love the base, and I LOVE her hair. Very dynamic.

Kotobukiya's To Heart 2 "PANIC!" Tamaki Kousaka
Who? I actually have no idea. Some Japanese visual novel for PS2/PSP. I guess.
Height: Actually one of my larger figures. Ten inches, I think.
Dare I Ask: Yeah, they're pretty gigantic, especially from the sides.
Bikini Status: Seemingly falling off. A moment caught in time, you might say.
You Might Say: I like the cheesecake factor a lot here, and her expression is priceless.
Going Through Her Mind: "Oh ****!"

I HAVE NO IDEA
Seriously? Yeah, no idea. She was a cheap Craigslist purchase. $20.
Height: About 8 inches
Pigtails: Present and removable
Top: Present and removable
Worth Removing? Not especially. Breasts don't...look like that. I mean, some do, but...
Stop Hedging: Fine. I don't especially like breasts shaped like that. Too...straight-on.
Let's Move On: Oh, yes, let's.

Venus On the Beach Kasumi
Height: Never measured her
Cost: Cheaper than buying her online and paying shipping to Alaska
Cup Size: Moderate compared to my other Kasumis
Cast-Off Status: Never again. Her other costume required lots of disassembly.
Expression: Kind of empty-headed
Problems? Way too much cameltoe.

Venus on the Beach Kokoro
Height: About 9 inches without the umbrella, ella, ella, aye.
Got Her As: A birthday present to my goddamn self
Cup Size: Completely at odds with her in-game model
Favorite Status? Way up there. She has so many lovely little details, and her expression is perfect.
Cast-off Status: Never again. Her alternate costume scratches her paint. It's also not much of a swimsuit.
Parasol: Made of wood, functional, impressive for what it is.

Kotobukiya's Tifa Lockhart
Height: About 8 inches
Bra Status: MIA.
Cup Size: Impressive
Made Of: Something other than PVC. Not sure what.
Thumbs-Up: At least she's not Samus.
Funny Story: I saw her in a Kenai comic shop. Some guy was selling her for $75. I balked and looked on eBay. Found her for $40, with like $6 for shipping. I wanted to call that Kenai guy and tell him.

Masame Amaha
From What, Exactly? The Witchblade anime, which isn't terrible.
Made Of: The kind of rubbery plastic that gets all bendy when left in the car.
Height: Haven't measured her yet. She's new.
Cup Size: A bit on the large side
Craftsmanship: Not fantastic. There's a really obvious seam where her left arm connects to the rest of the mold. There are "creases" in her skin where the armor presses inward, which isn't in the anime.
Most Puzzling Feature: Her metal thong and, uh...I'd rather not say.
Oh Com'on: There's a...thing...coming off the thong.
Not Helpful: It's like an silver armor clit, okay? I'm considering filing it off.
Reaction Upon Seeing It: *Sideshow Bob-esque mutter*

BOME's DoA2: Hardcore Kasumi
Height: About 7 inches
Cup Size: Completely at odds with her character model
Expression: There isn't one
Hair: Translucent
Notability: My first figure, the one who got me into this crazy hobby.
Wife's Initial Reaction: "Her breasts are spilling out."
Irony, Much? Sort of, considering the girls I buy NOW.

Max Factory's DoA3 Kasumi
Expression: Retarded
Breast Status: Spilling out
Molding Problems: Numerous and irritating
Max Factory: Not a fan.
Why'd You Buy Her? She was $30 on Craigslist and hovers around $140 on eBay/Amazon. I wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Also, she tended to be rated well. Maybe I just got a bad mold?
Display Problems: You can't see her face...or her rack because she's bent so far over. Thanks, Max Factory!

Yamato's Velvet from Odin Sphere
Height: About 11 inches
Cup Size: Not especially large, but perky
Temperature: For Velvet, it's always pretty cold outside (or inside)
Gams: Go for miles
Castoff Status: You can take her skirt off. She's then wearing a stupid thong, so her skirt stays on.
Chain Status: Attached to her wrists via nearly microscopic, clear plassic clips. These clips are easily lost or dropped, so I hate them. But the chain is effing awesome. It has some weight to it.
The Little Details: SO many. Velvet is also near the top of my "favorite figures" list.
Poseability: So many options.
Notability: My first specially-ordered figure.
Cost: Almost as much as Brandy (below)

Clayburn Moore's Brandy Carter
From...? Frank Cho's amazing comic Liberty Meadows
Height: Just over 12 inches
Weight: Substantial. She's made of something like procelain or ceremics
Bra Status: MIA
Cup Size: Substantial, in the comic and here
Other Characters: Oscar, the weiner dog, and Truman, a duck
Based On: One of comic's covers. I forget which cover.
Brandy Status: The Holotype.
Funny Story: Buying Brandy at Zanadu in downtown Seattle was the only enjoyment I got out of PAX in 2008 (or whenever I went). She was kind of a hassle getting back home, though.
Cost: You don't want to know.
I'll post more pics as I get more girls.

[zachs1997]

[Oblivion]

Meh, if I had that collection (and a wife), she better appreciate and love my collection or else she's GONE.

[Dasmos]

What a sad thread.

[Crimm]

Nobody demanded this.

[ShyGuy]

My cousin has one of these, some anime girl with a blue life preserver.

[Halbred]

Is she sitting in it? Red hair, goggles over her forehead? It might be another version of Tamaki.

[BlackNMild2k1]

So when are you gonna show us the real dolls you have hidden in the bedroom?

and by real dolls, I mean Real Dolls. Cause that is the obvious next step in your hobby.

[NWR_insanolord]

Nobody demanded this.

[nickmitch]

Which pair are your favorite?

[ShyGuy]

Is she sitting in it? Red hair, goggles over her forehead? It might be another version of Tamaki.

She is standing and I think Has blue hair.

[Urkel]

This thread makes me feel slightly better about what I've done with my life. But just barely.

[Ceric]

Out of those the ones I really like to own in order are:
Ame-Comi's Batgirl
Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Rogue
Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Black Widow
Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Wonder Woman
Yamato's Velvet from Odin Sphere

Now Unclebob needs to come in and quote Insanolord.

[BranDonk Kong]

WTF.

[King of Twitch]

Have you ever looked at your collection with your wife nearby and said, "honey, now why can't you look like that?"

[BlackNMild2k1]

Because his wife would open her underwear drawer, look at her collection of toys and say.....

[bustin98]

Maybe she display's her collection as proudly as he does...

Little hobby shelves on the wall...

Gotta do something during those long Alaskan winters.

[Halbred]

Have you ever looked at your collection with your wife nearby and said, "honey, now why can't you look like that?"

Because my wife looks like Power Girl (the Amanda Conner version). No joke. She could totally cosplay and get away with it. I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE WON'T.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Pics or um..... yeah... pics. please.

[Ceric]

Have you made and given her the Costume?  If you make the barrier to entry Super Low, like getting into the suit low, its more likely to happen.

Also Pics or it didn't happen.
 
On a side note I don't think I've seen a girl in the wild sporting Power Girl's hair style.

[S-U-P-E-R]

Pics or um..... yeah... pics. please.

[Stogi]

"By Popular Demand: Zach's Girl"

[Lithium]

no wonder this forum got it's name changed.

[Crimm]

Sometimes it names itself.

[ThePerm]

LOLd by the name change
