Since I already have the Kanou Unchou Figma, I decided to get another Ikki Tousen girl, so I picked up Ryomou Shimei. I really wish Max Factory would make a version of Ryomou in her school outfit. She’s so much more adorable and innocent-looking. Maid outfit Ryomou is kinda’ intimidating.

Since I’d never had a Revoltech before, it was difficult choosing which one to get first. I really wanted Yokko from Gurren Lagann or Haruhi Suzamiya in her bunny costume, but I figured I’d test the waters by getting the cheapest Revoltech I could find, just in case I wound up hating them. So I wound up with Pocco, designed by master illustrator, Shunya Yamashita.

Here’s a closeup comparison of the hands. I like that the Figmas come with the little storage thingie. They also have hands that are more elegantly posed.

Here’s Kanu, Ryomou, and Pocco all lined up.

I feel like I came off a little harsh in my review of the Revoltech. I really liked it! I just think that Figmas offer more bang for their buck, even if they are a bit smaller. That doesn’t mean that I’m not planning out my next few Revoltech purchases. My shelves are gonna’ be LOADED!

I hope you enjoyed the last otakufied episode of blindboxed for a while. The show will go back to designer toys next week when I review… wait, I’m not telling you! You’ll just have to watch and see! I’ll also be giving away details on how you can win a custom Munny by Jim Freck!

R-Line Griffon Enterprises will be releasing PVC figures of my two favorite anime ladies, Ryomou Shimei (left) and Kanu Unchou (right) from Ikki Tousen this December for 6,500 yen (about $72 USD). These figures were previously released with their dresses in tact, but apparently someone thought there should be battle damage versions. These are the “clear” battle damage versions, which implies that additional colorways will be released in the future.

I think “battle damage” is gonna’ be my new term for “naked.”

“Don’t come in here, mom! I’m battle damaged!”

Check out some more detailed shots after the jump.
