Not really into Figures as most of the time they look a bit off, but fair play this one looks spot-on.

It looks pretty high quality, however 11,800 yen seems a bit cheap especially for 1/6-scale (admittedly though I don't know much about the hobby)?

I might actually be tempted to get this.

Agree. This figure is spot on, unlike that Bome figure that was mentioned a few days ago.

Looks like a worthy figure to own.

To make it somewhat easier for those without Japanese proficiency, might want to exchange the "jp" to "com" in the link to the amiami product page mentioned in the article...

That price is actually in the range most 1/6 scales go for these days. However almost a decade ago, they could be had for half the price.

Figures have been increasing in prices, and that has not been changing. Eventually 1/6 scales will be going for 20,000 yen, which is what mainly 1/4's go for (And those used to be 10,000 yen back in the day). It's far more common to hear people constantly complain about the prices being too high rather than too low.

I'm not a huge fan of larger busts but this figure is beyond beautiful, her sculpt just looks so natural!

I've noticed that myself but I wonder why the sharp increases all of a sudden.

While I don't care much for Lala anymore(Momo master race), the figure does look great. Wink

I want this soo bad. Now, do I want it more than Rin Tohsaka in a Kimono?... probably not, but I'm still tempted like hell.

That figure of Lala looks magnificent. I'll even go so far to say that it look better than the BOME figure of Asuka that was debuted some time earlier (Yes, looking back, it really wasn't as great as I thought it was.).

Damn that is a teeny tiny bikini top. And yeah, sure looks like she's got a Brazilian. Then again how's an alien right? Hmm.

What would you do if your girlfriend or wife finds this on your desk?

Hopefully, by this time you would already know whether your significant other is accepting of your hobby or not. I got away with a Masamune Shirow Griffon poster, but that is as far as it is going to go.

She'd wonder why I have a 1/6 scale copy of her on my desk.

I guess I am the weird one because I noticed the shoes first. Chuck Talors? My kinda chick.

P.S. Boobs.
