Please let a pathetic nerdbag do the next review of a girl shaped figurine. Confused


I think this is the coded message that lies beneath your comment.


True Cool Why are you in this forum by the way? Tempted by the promise of a deep intellectual discussion about the (purely a-sexual) look of the bunny ears, surely....

I don't see what people find so creepy about this figure.

I dunno, I think this figure looks really cute. She would look adorable right next to my other figure of Mikuru in her battle waitress costume.
I told my friend today that I was wanting to get this figure, and, as usual, he jokingly asked me "Does her skirt come off?" It was my pleasure to tell him "Nope, even better - her boobs are squeezable!"
Maybe it's because I'm a girl, but I find the squishable boobs to be hilarious. If I was to get this figure, I would totally give them a quick squeeze, just for giggles.

What I find creepy is not the just the squishy boobs, but the fact that they have a warning not to squeeze them too hard or they break...Anime hyper

Regarding the mousepads, the one that sykoeent linked to is not the worse of the bunch. A while ago on ANN, well...... Eh......

Explaining it just isn't enough. I've got to show you. This link is not safe for work, so if you get fired, don't come crying to me.

Avert thine eyes.

(At least the nipples aren't raised as much as I remember; now that would have been sick.)

There is a bunch of different figurines people can buy so it is important for a toy maker to make theirs stand out. Squeezable breastesses is a good idea Laughing They need to hurry up and make some squeezable sailor scouts. hahahahaha (I'm just joking).

Wasn't there a scene something like that in WELCOME TO THE NHK, when the main guy is looking at a schoolgirl figure in a store and Yamazaki tells him that her skirt comes off. Squishy boobs looks like an interesting feature, but I mostly collect loli-character figures...maybe a squishy butt might work Twisted Evil

I agree. The fact that there are people that have squeezed the toys breasts so excessively that they broke is disturbing. Poor,poor Mikuru.

...It IS NOT necessary to have squishy breasts on a toy. I think most people not into that sort of thing would agree.


We need to think that this figure was made for the japanese otaku, who would see this as an amazing feature and will ask for it on more figures Rolling Eyes

Please, don't give them any more ideas or we might end up with fully functional mini sex dolls Anime hyper

I've got this figure, haha. But $50? Is that seriously what import stores charge? I got it for barely $20 in Japan.

She's really pretty, well-made, and the accessories are great. I wouldn't pay $50 for it, though! That's reserved for the really high quality statues.

The squishable breasts are hilarious. The back of the box says "Soft Material! Feel So Good!" in English. I saw a few figures like this in Japan. It doesn't make you worry about the country so much as the otaku community there, but it's still amusing all the same.
