INTEREST: Railgun S Director: Season to Include Original Summer Vacation story

It had finally felt like we had gotten a heroine who stood up for women's independence from male fantasies... Now she's being used as a lolita sex object.

As I said before, Misaki's voice actress already said in an interview that Misaki was a one-time appearance, and that it was just to give something nice to the fans. They were never planning to do the Daihasei from the beginning.

to the person above me yes they do have bad-a** figures like those.

Ah well, this is my 5th time seeing the damn Sisters Arc and episode 12 was really disappointing adaption-wise. Just going to drop it after.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I'd definitely say that being used as a sex object goes completely against Misaka's character. I mean, there's a reason she wears shorts under her skirt, yet we get figures like this.

Say what?
Actually episode 12 was the best adaptation of the sisters arc ever made. It includes not only all of the TAKNR Manga important parts, but the animators included even parts taken directly from TAMNI novels. (Most of Misaka 10032 and Touma dialogues and scenes for example).
I actually prefer Index over Railgun in pretty much everything, for characters and story, but even I have to admit that Railgun Sisters' Arc (both manga and anime) is better than the Index counterpart, and until now J.C. Staff has made an awesome job with adaptation. (Even if they added some fillers along the way).

I prefer Index, too. Having read the LN's I can understand a huge amount more behind the thought process that goes into the story and appreciate the anime.
I agree the sisters arc was better in Railgun, but I disagree that episode 12 was the best. I recall they did not show any of that and it was just 2 pages and it turned into a few animation repeats and even more flash backs. Mixing in Vol 3 only confused me a bit more though. I expected the bridge scene by now, but they seem to be dragging it.

I agree with you on the first half of your post.
Though I have to object to your second half statements. I think that they decided to expand the story mostly for 2 reasons:
1) They didn't have enough material from the manga, so to make the anime last longer they decided to provide some background coming from Index events. That leads to the second reason;
2) They wanted to make sure that people could enjoy and fully understand the arc even without knowing Index counterpart of the story.

If my guesses were right... We won't see the bridge scene until the ending of next episode.
On a side note, I actually like more when they expand the story with parts taken by Index novel to clarify, instead of inserting useless fillers.

Not really, she gets blushy like that around Touma, but then usually followed by her trying to electrocute him.

How recently was that one released? I can never seem to find any when I look.

It was released in 2011 (?) as a bonus with the Toaru Majutsu no Index game. I own it, and other Misaka stuff. Never planning to get crap like the figure above, though.

Aw, so it looks like we won't be seeing spoiler[Mikoto and Kuroko engaging in an areal battle against giant wooden magical flying ships.]

Well, at least not until a 3rd season anyways.
