The Bonkurasu Brigade

While I have managed to stop my figurine-buying temptations thus far, Max Factory, Alter and Figma line of figurines tempt me yet again, not to mention they will release pretty soon, too.

1/8 Yoko by Alter, June 2009 release

The very figure than made me convulsed (in a good way) late last year during some figurine exhibition fair in Japan. The sculpt is incredible beyond expression, and nicely produced into a PVC figure.

1/8 Yoko by Max Factory, September 2009 release

Another Yoko figurine, but at least this one isn’t going to be released anytime soon; there’s a good 3 months away… but I bet it’ll be over in a flash. Also, this renderation of Yoko reminds me of the Caucasian/mixed blood Yoko cosplayers I see over the Net.

[EDIT] I just remembered what I didn’t like about the figurine; it’s the pose. With only one leg supporting her entire body, she’ll surely lean over and warp.

Now, I don’t collect Figma figures ( I had to sell away my witch Yuki Nagato due to lack of funds =’( ), But the following release is too good to ignore.

1/8 Katsurugi Meiya by Figma, July 2009 release

Also another upcoming one that’s just around the corner… ARGH STOP TEMPTING MY WALLET ALREADY.
