If you ever wonder what Orchid Seed's focus is at for figure releases, then taking a look at what they have on display at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition will answer your question. The company had three prototypes on display, two of which is more of idol Sonico and the other is of a busty warrior from Queen's Blade.
The first is Sonico in nothing but a bikini again. Wait, didn't we already see Alphamax do this? Sort of. This is the 1/5-scale SoniComi Package ver. which has Sonico... uh... okay, it's practically the same thing. The only difference really is Sonico is in boots so if heels aren't your thing, this one may be up your alley. Once again, I cannot deny the shapely and rounder body of Sonico easily wins me over but at the scale size, that's too much Sonico for me to handle. If you need something with a little more fetish appeal, Orchid Seed also has the 1/6-scale Super Sonico Cheer Girl ver. figure with Sonico dressed up as a cheerleader and swinging those pom-poms to give you encouragement. Strangely, looking at the stomach area, this sculpt doesn't seem as round as the other figure Orchid Seed has of Sonico.
If Sonico is not your thing, maybe the elven warrior Alleyne from Queen's Blade will tickle your fancy. The 1/6-scale figure features her running her hand through what I presume is her wet hair. It looks to have that effect and it looks great from the prototype sculpt. Alleyne's choice of outfit leaves little to the imagination with two leaves only covering the sides of her breasts but leaving the middle open to see how large and round they are. It's hard to judge the face on this one due to the angle and lighting of the photo but from what I can see, I'm very curious to see it colored. Mainly because of the open mouth and lips.
So busty warrior or busty idol? Any of these interest you?
Update: Additional prototype photos added of the 1/7-scale Yuki from Maid Yome who is stretching her shirt and poking through it with her chest and Minori from Venus Idol Project V.I.P. who is here for those who have a thing for bunny girls.
Update 2: Official photos added from Orchid Seed showing off some of their recolored figures as well as a painted version of Manami from Menkui.

Despite all the Muv-Luv attention out there, I can't recall seeing too much attention given to one Meiya Mitsurugi, at least compared to some others like, say, Inia. I'm definitely pleased to see Kotobukiya stepping up to fil...
