Its a figure of Yui in Himeko's body.

You think? I think they look adorable, especially Kuroneko. A bit too much leg on Kirino though if you ask me.

Hmmm, the Hanna Marseille and Sanya figures look nice. Wonder how they'll look coloured

Kuroneko looked good, but I didn't like the face on Kirino - maybe I should take another look or wait for different pics. The problem becomes if I think they are what they are (Branpresto kuji-ichiban lottery figures), they'll be too expensive for the quality you get.

Oh, it's not immediately clear from the photos, but that Scarlet Rain is... really really big. If you notice in this image, someone is standing off to the side with some bags. They're a little ways away, but if gives you a hint of the size.

Fence had a better picture with someone sitting nearby and fully visible, but I can't find it now - do you still have that?

Even if the design is good, the quality is, as you say, pretty poor. It's a shame because many often do have interesting outfits/poses.

Scarlet Rain's immobile mobile armor is the size of a desk! It's a three foot cube of of crimson missile death. That has to be a display custom made just for the show. There is no way they could sell something that big that isn't shaped like a half naked girl. Maybe if it doubled as a refrigerator or PC case.

Heh, good point, though I'd be pretty impressed if they tried.

As usual, there are lots of great and tempting figures there, although this time around, there really isn't anything that Jumps out at me as a must-buy figure. Considering how crowded and cluttered my room is, plus the fact that I will be moving in a year that it probably is a good thing. I especially like the figure of Saber in that white suit that looks like a wedding dress designed for combat and the Kuroyukihime figure with the mask.

I wasn't immediately won over by the Miku figures in the otaku.com post, but CR has a nice visual roundup of Miku figures which includes a lot I didn't notice in otaku.com's images.

There are a number of cute ones but I rather liked:
#1 - Nekomimi Switch Miku. Adorable headphones and uniform.
#3 - Nice hair.
#19 - Gekisou Miku, though I'm not sold on the pose. Would be awesome with her wings.

Dunno if I'll buy any but some are tempting.
