Uuuuuggggghhhhh, darn you money constraints of joblessnesss...

The fig looks like a wonderfully fun buy. If I can't find this after Christmas: I'm going to go with with Strength or a cheap Touhou nendoroid.

Note to self: tell family about Amazom gift cards.

D'aaaawwwwww. I don't buy figures, but that doesn't prevent me from acknowledging that this is extremely adorable. I'll always fall for a lady in a hat.

They may not be "Bodacious", but they are most certainly Mouretsu!

It's prescriptivist pedantry that I don't normally do, but I'd say that by the original definition of the word, several of the female characters qualify as bodacious.

Although I suppose that by the definition that Running Wild has in mind, Misa and perhaps, to our surprise, spoiler[Coorie in episode 24] qualify. Of course, the series doesn't really play to that angle up; it's weird like that.

So cute! I've given up on buying nendoroids unless its a special edition, but that is really cute. Just waiting for a Grurier nendo to complement this one.

The article mentions that Amazon JP is selling the figure, but they do not ship figures outside of Japan.

What an adorable figure! It's been a while since I've purchased any figure, but this is definitely one I will consider pre-ordering.

Well, the original novels are titled "Miniskirt Pirates". And there are a lot of pirates in miniskirts.

That being said, I would not mind owning this figure. Marika is awesome

Well, I think I've found my first Nendo purchase.

Hope this means a Figma will follow. Or maybe a Pullip collab. Whatever, bring on the Moretsu merch.

What.

Marika is bodacious. So is Lynn Lambretta, when it comes down to it, hacking a race course because the original seemed too boring is a fairly bold and audacious move.

That is, in the actual meaning of bodacious, as opposed to using it as a euphemism for built like a brick house.

That's like saying the actual meaning of otaku instead of what it means now. Laughing

The word was also chosen as the "translation" of "Mouretsu" by the Japanese.
