Despite my freely admitted love for all things related to D&D-style tabletop gaming, I've never actually partaken of the rather infamous Bastard!!. I'm familiar with many of the aspects though, including the curvy half-elf Arshes Nei. When it comes to classic fantasy anime, she's certainly no slim Deedlit. Quite the voluptuous lady, it seems like the Thunder Empress takes after her human side rather than a slim elf.

Therefore, this release from Orchid Seed might be right up the alley of those of you who are a bit tired of the multitudes of slimmer characters out there. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of her build here, but I do love that badass cloak and, of course, her hair looks fantastic. Of course, seldom am I not drawn to a figure's hair, but nonetheless, paired with her cloak it gives quite the windswept look.

For the pervy types out there, she's also apparently castoffable, at least when it comes to her top. She's left in a rather fetching collar, which is always a plus in my book. If you're looking for a nice figure to decorate your regular gaming table, you can pick her up in February for around ¥9,334.
