Native - October 31st Witch: Miss Orangette - Now Accepting Reservations

This is old news by now but It's worth saying that Native's Miss Orangette, based on art by Iida Pochi (of Ane Naru Mono) is open for pre-order on Native's site and a few other sites that resell Native figures such as Nippon-Yasan.com. I went a little crazy for Ane Naru Mono after seeing the Chiyo figures for the first time as prototypes so it's no surprise that I'm pretty hyped for this figure.

I've really liked her art since I first saw it. I'm struggling to remember when it might have been, but I think it was just a preview for one of the Ane Naru Mono figures based on Chiyo from a previous wonfes. Once I saw that I was sold. Her miss Orangette figure isn't based on a doujin or manga as far as I can tell, but she's a pretty cool looking figure.

There's a lot going on in this figure. The bright orange brim of her witch's hat, her apron-like dress, generous proportions, stockings, wand, and elaborate base are all super interesting visually. Her spooky vibe fits in well with a few figures that I've already got in my collection so adding her to the mix doesn't' feel like a big stretch for me.

I don't display castoff figures without their clothes in my house, but I still appreciate the extra thought that goes into the designs for them. I'm curious to see just exactly how the different display options go together, as some are a lot more straight-forwards than others. Based on the images, it looks like she'll have replacement clothing rather than replacement clothed body parts. It's not my preference, but if dressing her isn't a problem and the pieces fit together well I won't mind.

Miss Orangette looks like a really cool figure, and of course Native has a great reputation with regards to quality so I think she's going to turn out great. You can see more pics of her on her MFC listing. including some uncensored castoff pics. I hope the final figure looks as good as the prototype, because it's a really cool design.

She's up for pre-order until October 31st, 2019, with a price of 19,800JPY. Expected release date is December 2020, so you won't get to spend this or even next Halloween with her.

Date A Live - Kurumi Tokisaki - 1/7 - Lingerie Ver.- Figure Review

I'm back with another figure review! This time it's another character I know nothing about really. Honestly, I had to google her name a few times to make sure I had it right and looking at it now I'm still not entirely sure. Apparently she is from a series called Date A Live.What I do know is that Kurumi Tokisaki is a very popular character who has had a lot of merchandise and several figures, though looking back it seems that many of them were from the infamously bad and now defunct Griffon Enterprises. More recently she has started to get figures from better manufacturers like Alter and this superlative figure from Alphamax.. Normally Kurumi appears in a red and black gothic lolita style dress that I always thought had a certain saloon girl flare to it, but here it seems we've caught her in a more intimate moment. It's quite the outfit, consisting of a corset, garter belt, stockings, bonnet, some ribbons and high-heels. She's striking a prett...

Faerie Queen Elaine Standard Ver. 1/5 Scale (Native) - Figure Review

It feels like a lifetime ago that I posted a preview for this figure once it was announced by Native. The world was definitely in a different place then, and perhaps I was as well in regards to this website and also the figure hobby in general. The past year has seen a real slow down in my figure acquisitions, for budgetary reasons and also logistical problems around shipping from Japan. I did still receive a couple of figures however, and Faerie Queen Elaine based on the original character illustration by Tony Taka was one of them. Just a heads up, in a previous NSFW review I had the castoff pics on a separate linked page but here they're just further down on this page. I remember posting the promotional shots on reddit after she was released, and there and also on MFC people were pretty indifferent to both this figure and Tony's art. They said it was boring and too simplistic, and at the time I too thought maybe this figure was a little plain, however I did not know how wr...

Tokyo Otaku Mode - Shop Review

Hello again! Today I would like to do the first of what I expect will be a series of shop reviews covering the best shops to order anime figures and other goods from if you live in the United States. There are a lot of options when it comes to shops to buy from, so I hope this information can be useful to both new and veteran collectors. The first shop I'll be talking about is one that I've been shopping with A LOT over the past two years or so: Tokyo Otaku Mode . My hope is to answer the following question for you: Is Tokyo Otaku Mode a good shop to order anime figures from? The things that most stand out when going to this store are the frequent TOM point promotions and the at first glance high prices of the items. I know that for a year or two after first seeing the site I would wonder about those two things. What are these TOM points, exactly? Why the heck are the prices on this site so high? Well, it turns out there's good reasons for both of those things and...
