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!

Ryomou Shimei from the Battle Vixens manga and Ikki Tousen anime is my absolute favorite anime/manga character of all time. Shunya Yamashita is my favorite drawer-of-sexy-anime-ladies of all time.

Ryomou Shimei from the Battle Vixens manga and Ikki Tousen anime is my absolute favorite anime/manga character of all time. Shunya Yamashita is my favorite drawer-of-sexy-anime-ladies of all time. The fact that he’s designed this amazing Ryomou Shimei figure means that I’ll probably have to rob a bank some time soon because there’s no way that I’m letting my shelf go without this amazing piece.

This piece from Daiki Kougyo drops in January 2010 and will retail for 15, 540 yen aka about $173. Yikes.
