So here we have a new figure in the Revoltech line, a female figure, sculpted by Yamaguchi. Between this and the queens blade line, I guess the Fraulein experiment is done.

It’s so rare for there to be figures based on 80’s anime. Noriko and the rest of the cast’s character designs were done by Haruhiko Mikimoto who is best known for doing the character designs for Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, Super Dimensional Century Orguss and Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket. IMO, he is quite possibly one of the best character designers ever from the 1980’s era of anime production. The designs for Gunbuster were adapted for animation by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, who is one of the top character designers for the 90’s era of anime and did work for Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Although no scale is given, I estimate that she is about 1/8 scale, basing it on other figures of similar size (and 1/8 scale is generally the standard scale of most anime figures). I just have to say, the amount of detail on this figure is staggering. You can just see the love and care that went into an item such as this.

The figure is Haruhi depicted from episode “Live Alive” in which during the school festival the singer/ guitarist having lost her voice when she was supposed to go on stage, Haruhi goes up instead while wearing a bunny suit (much to the shock of Kyon). From there, she sings “God Knows” which quickly impresses the crowd.

From the all-new Shining Wind Cross cell phone game (the latest in the hugely popular Shining Saga by Sega) comes ELMINA RHODERIA! Designed by acclaimed artist Tony Taka, Elmina is the protagonist of the game, a flighty girl from a royal house and friend to Blanc Neige.

Yoko's big gun isn't the only thing she has going for her in Gurren Lagann....

The second release from Revoltech's Fraulein lineup is Rin Tohsaka the very talented and powerful Mage from Fate/stay night (-gratuitous panty shot inside - you've been warned you dirty pervs...)

One of the newest releases from the Revoltech Fraulein line; Pocco has a real nice set of perky, full, well-displayed … wings. This character design could be considered borderline PG/PG-13 by some folk’s standards and the photos in this review reflect that. Think twice before clicking if you’re a cupcake. You have been warned …
