[piggyhoho.livejournal.com]

As if whoring people in anime is not enough.

They're whoring them in 3D.

New Kallen and Villeta figures.


Brought to you by GA Graphic.

New figures from Bandai coming this December. 6825 Yens each. (That's about 70 bucks O_O)

MORE FANSERVICE.

but I'm not buying it. since 70$ = 3150 pesos 8D;;

[austere-flare.livejournal.com]

INORITE?! Man, merch is so expensive...

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

I saw pics of those back when they were prototypes. I'd love to have bunny-girl!Kallen if she looked less humiliated (most of the Haruhi girls look proud of their bunnysuits, the Geass girls can as well!!).

WANT

What is Villetta holding in her hand?

[dark-alone.livejournal.com]

probably a pointer stick, she was acting as a teacher after all.

they look really good! if i were an otaku fanboy i'd totally buy!

...Who would spend $70 on this crap? o_o

[popicecream.livejournal.com]

I'm not really a Kallen fan, but this figure of her looks pretty nice.

[rebmastu.livejournal.com]

You don't browse figures all that much, do you? That price is about average nowadays, and there have been much, much racier releases. (Sex sells, BTW. Wasn't sure if you were aware.)

I'd totally buy that Kallen if they had an alternative face available. The =( face doesn't do too much for me.

[spleener.livejournal.com]

and there have been much, much racier releases

Agreed on this. Like, seriously, you have no fucking idea, this is pretty tame compared to how bad fanservice merchandise is capable of getting.

Alpha x Omega is releasing Bunny Kallen (and Swimsuit Waitress Shirley) as well. Kallen's pose is much better in this release, IMO. No price for these, though.

[popicecream.livejournal.com]

That Shirley looks really nice, I'd almost think about getting her if I knew a price.

[spleener.livejournal.com]

I APPROVE

[slayer-sango.livejournal.com]

This makes me happy today!!!! WANT ♥

[tsurugi.livejournal.com]

What the-- how are Kallen's tits bigger than Viletta's? ... sorry, just wondering.

[yuri-san.livejournal.com]

This. Two seconds of looking at them, and all I thought was "Hm, Viletta's tits are too small."

And while everyone is talking about figurine/doll prices, I once saw a Sailor Saturn doll up for $900.

[lunchy.livejournal.com]

Hm, only about $63. I've seen much worse.

[organiccyborg]

I've seen figures way more expensive than these. And almost bought one that was more expensive than these. :')

HOWEVER they're actually pretty nice figs! ♥

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

There's plenty of non-bunny suit Kallen.

Nice to see a Shirley. Hopefully they ditch the gloss paint.

These are actually pretty nicely done.

[piggyhoho.livejournal.com]

Agree. Those paint are too shiny. O_O

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

The look very nice. Like! Totally want Villetta, but then again, I was never one for pink or bunny girls.

Wish that Kallen's demeanor was different. It's not like she can't look fucking dignified wearing bunny ears (http://i33.tinypic.com/28krbb7.jpg).

[soaker87.livejournal.com]

It'd be nicer if they made figures with more clothes on. I feel like a pervert with some of my collection. But still, I want them.

[karumachan.livejournal.com]

70 dollars bout 50 euro's, expensive but do able it seems to me if you live in Europe =P if you find it worth it that is, I don't.. I'd rather want a nice lulu and suza figurine

villetta does look nice

[piggyhoho.livejournal.com]

Not to mention if you live outside of Japan it'll probably add up to 100 dollars if you buy from a dealer who imports these goods.

[x-drear-x.livejournal.com]

Viletta is very nice. Her body proportions look a bit better here, but aren't her boobs bigger than that? I like her hips.

Okay Bandai, I want my Otaku figurines for girls now. Hurry plz.

[typo1138.livejournal.com]

SECONDED. D:

I have the ex-portrait Suzaku and Lelouch figures, but where are our ridiculously high-quality figs, eh?!

[-beliel.livejournal.com]

I'd probably purchase Viletta. She just looks so sexy, it's really quite badass.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

I think they look very nice compared to some figures I've seen. I would still buy Lulu or Suzaku over these but they are nice XD

[ryuhayabusadoa2.livejournal.com]

I'm so buying the Viletta one though. I like the other Kallen bunnysuit fig as well. Finally, some decent code geass figures to purchase, cause i'm really lacking some lol

[sakura-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I feel like a bad feminist, but I love Viletta's. Exploitation or not, she's hot.
