This post TYPE-MOON Unlimited Calendar 2009 was written originally at TheAkiba.

There’re lots of news about some populated figures ready for preorder these days. And among those the most outstanding one is the Saber Lily 1/7 PVC figure which has been shown on a huge amount of blogs and website and I will list some of them at the bottom of this post.

To be frankly, I didn’t get serious about figures in part of the high price and in part of the misled craftmanship, or most important, in part of being an business management major college student due to which I have to manage and make better use of my money ^^. But this figure is exceptional and brilliant and I was totally lured at the first sight.

You can preorder via JList, Play-Asia or Hobby Search.

The sculptor, Takayuki Kawahara did quite a good job in styling the overall performance of the figure. The blond hair is exquisite in details. Compared with the figma presented in the limited version of Fate/Unlimited Codes [SP Box], the PVC one is totally prevail.

Saber Lily is wearing garter belt, some kind of stocking that is populated in old western, well, as well as present. The white stocking covers her pale skin and what come into my mind is pure and grace.

The PVC figure of Saber Lily carries two sword which we have already known in the Anime Fate/stay night. Caliburn and Excalibur. Both swords can be equipped and removed. Sounds like there will be lots of photo shots coming.

What I really like beside her pose and comely appearance, is the craftmanship of the armor and from which I can smell the cruelty of the fight, as well as the beauty of her soul.

The above photo souces via How a Girl Figures.

Artbook

Velvet Skin ~ INO Art Works (R18)

Description: Veteran bishoujo game designer INO presents the definitive compilation of his work! Packed with luscious erotic illustrations, Velvet Skin’s full color pages span the career of one of the unquestioned masters of Japanese “H” game art. His signature style is represented here in the artwork from eleven games, featuring not just game CG but rare promotional art, poster and telephone card illustrations, rough production sketches, and other previously unreleased material. Included illustrations run the gamut from scenes of passionate lovemaking, harem sex, breasts from the small to the enormous, paizuri, fellatio, lingerie, and sexy pinup art galore! At 208 A4 size pages this is a weighty tome indeed, and one no erotic artbook collector should do without! From Core Magazine.

Review: This is a dedicated artbook and lots of people will want to get it. But so far I cannot find anything about it. Please inform me if you have any thing related to it. Also, you can get a preview on Heisei Democracy (NSFW).

Figures

Signam 1/7 Figure by Alter Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

Description: Enjoy the latest addition to the collection of figures based on the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime series. This Alter creation is features the character Signam with her trademark purple hair. Made of PVC she’s fully painted and ready to display right out of the box to show off for you to admire. Excellent detailing with a silver metal like finish on the armor and weaponry, shading and ripples on the clothing making her appear as if she were a 3D photograph captured in midair. A fantastic 1/7th scale PVC statue that measures 28 cm (11 inches) for you to cherish.

Review: I posted an article regarding to this figure recently and you might want to have a look there. Check out the review.

Video Games

Fate/Unlimited Codes [SP Box]

Description: The fight for the holy grail spreads over from the arcades to your home. Drawn by Type Moon, and with a script written by Natsu Kinoko, the game spots an original storyline and is acted out by the star studded cast of voice actors. All characters are rendered in 3D but the system maintained the speed factor of 2D fighting games. Besides punches and kicks, the servant’s sure kill attacks and their special weapons are all included in this fighter. Harness their power and fight for your dearest wish. In addition to the existing elements in the arcade version, the PS2 edition comes with more scenes, player characters to the roster and many other goodies.

Review: Few body knows but I’m truly a video game fans. My favorite game on PlayStation2 is Grandia III by Square-Enix, followed by Final Fantasy XII and .hack//G.U. (I’m writing something about this series, will put it up when finish). Some people are crazy about the Saber Lily 1/7 PVC figure now (I’m one of them).

This is a fans oriented product I assume. If you like the Anime series Macross Frontier, if you like Sheryl Nome, you’d like to have a try. Check out the review here.

Intro (Wiki)

Chaos;Head (カオスヘッド) is a Japanese visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus with gore, psychology, and science fiction elements that was released on April 25, 2008 for the PC. A port of the game, named Chaos;Head Noah (カオスヘッドノア), for the Xbox 360 console is currently in development and is slated for release on February 26, 2009. The game is described by the development team as a “Delusional Science NVL” (妄想科学NVL). The game’s premise revolves around a high school student named Takumi Nishijō who unknowingly walks into the scene of a gruesome murder on his way home. More mysterious events starts happening afterwards as more gruesome murders occurs in the area. Takumi struggles to cope with reality and the delusions he experiences as he tries to avoid getting caught by the perpetrator behind the chain of murders.

In the series, the hero is a typical Otaku who collects figures in his “base”. In this post, I’d like to identify some of them. However, I am not a figure mania, if you can identify the rest of the figures, tell me!

PS. This post continues to update.

More images are added. I hope they will help to identify the rest.




OK, let’s start by number 1.

Thanks to Panther again. Panther seems to be a master of figures. I’d like to quote something from Panther’s comment:

6. A different rendition of Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny’s Kanu Uncho, Nekomimi version, but done in the form of trap Ayasaki Hayate while he was cosplaying a nekomimi in Hayate no Gotoku! The original Neko Kanu figure was released in August/September this year and is made by Griffon.

Kotobukiya: Nagasarete Airantou, Suzu Bikini Ver. (PVC Figure)

Again, something from Panther:
