Jul12 Leicia Figure from BEATLESS by Good Smile Company Good Smile Company (GSC) is working on a new figure, the 1/8th Scale Leicia. It’s a beautiful figure based on the female protagonist Leicia from BEATLESS, a short novel that is written by Satoshi Hase (長谷敏司, Site, Blog, Twitter) and illustrated by redjuice (again), and which is currently serialized in Newtype magazine. The figure is so sexy, probably because of her tight suit or the special outfits around her nice hips. The setting is so cool, especially those black something around her (some kind of Mecha or device I guess). The only bad thing seems to me is this figure is currently only available through the online shop of GSC by preorder before 22nd August. Also it is a part of the BEATLESS Introduction Set, which includes special guidebook and more and thus you won’t get this figure alone. Probably some kind of promotion for the novel series but it’s still good to have one.You can get a lot more pics and all the details that we covered here in Mikatan’s post, jump to his blog for more and the detailed preorder instruction by click the link below, or you can visit the original Japanese blog.
