Those of you who for some reason didn't come into adulthood as a result of Who Framed Roger Rabbit's Jessica Rabbit, you probably won't understand the least bit of why I'm so very pleased as punch today. Okay, maybe you will seeing as how Sideshow Collectibles' Jessica Rabbit Premium Format Figure shows off her defining features so well. And by that I mean tig ol' bitties!
Usually, I get downright outraged and a bit uncomfortable when I see statues of popular characters all sexed up with lovely lady lumps hanging out all over the place (usually around the chest since it'd look weird elsewhere). Jessica Rabbit gets a pass since, well, this is exactly how the movie portrayed her. I'm particularly in awe of what appears to be a real-fabric dress, a feature that just makes the whole statue pop. Crap, and you know the first thing anyone who buys this will do is see if the fabric dress can come off, even via force. I promise you desperate and like-minded nerds! There will be no nerps underneath! You will just ruin the statue! Restrain yourselves and just watch the original uncut VHS instead!
Well, stop playing patty-cake with yourself long enough to listen to some of the erection-fading details, such as pricing. Mrs. Rabbit doesn't come cheap. The price for both the standard version and the Sideshow Exclusive version (which includes an extremely racy fine art print, even considering the character), is US$324.99. But hey, a classy dame like this deserves your money, right? If you want to pre-order this immediately, make sure you're signed up for Sideshow's Newsletter since Jessica Rabbit goes live for pre-order on Thursday, August 18th between 2 and 3 pm Pacific Time. That's tomorrow, in case you were a bit distracted to do math. Speaking of math, anyone else have the sudden need for a binder?
Alright, so we had a peek at 1/2-scale Sonico not long ago, and I'm back again to let everyone know the very important news that she is up for pre-order! If you're ready to fork out the dough (over ¥40,000 retail) for her...
When looking around for news to write about I stumbled into something pretty amazing. Check this out everyone. Good Smile Company is making a Nendoroid of Yukari Tamura and Nana Mizuki.
It is a fantastic idea isn't it? ...
Though I don't have as many words to say on things like this as some of my co-editors around here, I wanted to make sure that you folks were at least up to date with the fact that yes, 1/2-scale Soniko still exists (last seen...
[Updated: added links for pre-orders, and more pictures! She's ¥12,000 and slated for release in January 2014! Please check her listings for the cast-off images.]
e've been pretty excited for this upcoming Queen's Blade f...
[update: Added an image to the gallery that is probably the source artwork for this figure! It also appears that this originates from something in the manga. I don't know anything else beyond that at the time of writing~][upd...
I gushed about this figure when it went up for pre-order, but some folks were entirely unimpressed with what I consider a lovely figure of Haganai/Haganai NEXT's Sena as a dancer.
Since the last time we saw her, it doesn't lo...
I count Strike Witches among the few, more ecchi guilty pleasure shows that I have enjoyed. However I did not really enjoy this show until the second season. So I found it to be pretty cool that Alter just announced...
When Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai, or Hagani for short, debuted in October of 2011, I don't think anybody expected it to be as successful as it was. Typically for a show like Haganai, most companies would have had a ton of me...
The latest Hobby Japan scans brought with them a new Hyakka Ryouran figure: a 1/8-scale Keiji Maeda. If you're into well-developed women, it's tough to beat that body. Although Keiji is wearing a kimono-like outer layer, it's...
When I first started watching "Problem Children are Coming from Another World aren't they?" over at Crunchyroll I was 100% sure that the bunny girl "Black Rabbit" would be made into a figurine. I just didn't know fo...
