1 & 2) So last time I did figurine corner, it was obvious who had won the peoples hearts, especially with the tag team victory! They've managed to do it again this time around too! That's right, Oreimo is back again, this time with cute maid outfits! For any fan of the show; this is a must buy! Extremely cute and adorable and is a must get! The girls featured in these well made dolls are of course: Kuroneko and Kirino Kousaka! Made by Freeing; these dolls are available in April and March. I can't wait until these babies are released! Pre-order? Yes please!
3) This figurine is based off of that ever so famous anime called Panty & Stocking! And you've probably guessed it - this is Panty! She is in her angelic form, and boy, she sure does look like a angel. Every week I have a look at the latest figurines; and this is one of those that just appeal to anyone straight away. I've never watched Panty and Stocking, but I'm really tempted too now with this cute little figurine remake! Produced and made by Alter, this figurine will be available May 2012.
4) This weeks number 4 is the one that I was talking about before hand. This is the more H-based ero figure, and I would only recommend buying this is you're 18! But that doesn't mean you can't oogle at this well made figurine! Based off the Ero-Manga HHH, Takashima Shigure shows what she's made of. Made by Kaitendoh, this one is available by April 2012.
5) Some of you may remember this wonder little girl from the fighting anime Ikkitousen. If you do; you'll be pleased with the overall look of this figurine based off the elusive Ryofu Housen. Griffon Enterprises made this model based off one of the DVD covers, and did a good job! Very cute and just one of those moments every boy wishes for!
