Nice. Hope this manages to get a second season, maybe this time full length regular episodes rather than 5 min episodes.

Somehow I'm not surprised the character design from Ninja Slayer in which the female protagonist went through a BDSM run worked in Bikini Warriors.

It's about time the best girl from Bikini warriors got her own figure.

Best girl by far. Unfortunately the figure is a bit... much (and I don't mean the price) for my collection.

Although I personally wouldn't see myself removing Mage's attire, sans her hat, I find this figure of her to be charmingly beautiful. Smile

Not a bad looking figure at all. Is this seriously only available through the Hobbylink Japan site? Or am I missing something?

This girl just blows away the others by a mile in terms of popularity. Lovely figure, too.

Somewhere there is a person who went to art school to be a fine sculptor and yet wound up modeling nipples for anime figurines. Poor bastard.

holy crap $108 for a little toy figure?! Personally never understood peoples obsession for these figures. And for the exorbitant amount that these are sold for. $20ish would seem like a more reasonable price.

$20 is what I would call "break even"... a financial result reflecting neither profit nor loss. But break even is not the objective... the goal is to make a profit.

$20 would get you something slightly nicer than a child's action figure. The price is due to being an adult collector's item as well as the quality of the sculpt.

And now people know how Apple and Microsoft charge the way they do Laughing

(but the story doesn't lend itself to half-hour episodes)

This being Japan, maybe it's exactly what they wanted.
