Aoshima teased this Strawberry Ninja/Ichigo Shinobi figure at WonFes but it seems there was actually a painted prototype already in the works. Hobby Channel has a post with a few more shots of the prototype, showing off illustrator Kuuchuu Yousai's original character in varying amounts of clothing.
I like seeing original characters, especially when they're a bit ecchi, so this caught my attention. The two variants, aside from their color schemes, differ in hair style and included weapon. Her top also casts off to reveal a fishnet top, though I'm not sure if that also comes off.
The figure will be 1/7-scale, so not big but not tiny. So far she's planned for an October release, and will cost ¥8,190. It's pricey but about in line with original figures from less prolific manufacturers.
Ever hear of Aoshima's Master Piece line? Well if you have not I do not blame you. All of the characters in the line are original creations designed by different people and are often named after the people who designed the ch...

If there was a theme from Aoshima's booth besides its car model kits, it'd have to be old-school. That starts with the 1/24-scale Super Detail Kit Deloreans from the Back to the Future trilogy, which were all at the booth and...

While Aoshima's wares remain relatively new unfamiliar territory for me (although we have posted up some of their stuff before, namely adorable roach girls), I definitely like what I'm seeing in this batch of pictures. First ...

Uchu Kyodai (or Space Brothers, if you please) stars an adorable frisky Pug named Apo. Oh, and two brothers also. But seriously, it's a puppy! Just look at those big, expressive eyes. That lolling tongue. My heart cannot take...

I'm not familiar with the doujinshi Goki-cha, which this adorable little insect girl comes from. However, I can say that I find her really adorable! I can't believe I just said I find a cockroach cute. The...

I'm not really much of a big Star Trek fan at all, save for one thing in particular: Star Trek: The Next Generation. Perhaps it was my dad's doing (he used to watch the series from time to time when I was younger), but Picard...

Making things cute. One would consider it a requirement from Japan. After all, we saw an emoticon turned into a cute cushion earlier today. NHK's News Watch 9 has embraced the cute and have created their own super deformed ma...
