Ruined by nipples.
I couldn't ever imagine a world where I'd say that, but there it is... :/

I was thinking about getting her, but there are a few things I'm not a huge fan of. That ankle, for one. A lot is going to depend on price. I mean, if she's over $70, which she no-doubt will be, then forget it.
At this point they might as well give her a haircut and brand it as a Bayonetta 2 item. It may be out in time for the second game's release!
I'm thinking she'll probably settle for around $60 in the used market.

Not after the new Blazblue game comes out stateside.
Also, if anyone is still looking for P.O.P. Vivi, Crunchyroll has her for sale. Only catch is, I think they want you to pay now.

they're all Play-Arts
Her left leg has an insane bend. Is she part horse or something? Human legs don't bend that way.
They tried to base it off the one CP artwork of her but they messed up on the legs, added nipples, and changed her face.

I was going to say that I remember seeing that pose before.
The leg does look kind of weird. Apparently there are people who can bend their knees at a 90 degree angle and spin their leg so their heel is right in front of their face but I kind of doubt Noel can do that.
Also she seems to look a bit thin compared to the artwork.
It's still a good figure imo despite the flaws.
As much as I love nipples [and I do love them!] it just doesn't suit that Noel figure. 
I'll probably still grab her if she's priced right [although I personally feel a 9,000+ yen price is incoming...] since I need a Noel in my collection and this will probably be the only "other" one [since the original Hobby Japan one is so pricey] we'll likely get for a long while.

was 7700~ same company so I assume the price will be similar
I really hope so!

At that price, and a release date other than DECEMBER [come on manufacturers, why do you hate me? ~_~] and I'd be awfully tempted.

I don't know, but those new PAK figures look like colossal pieces of shit. I understand changing up the designs a bit but.... wow.
For now, lolololol.
yup, really wanted the Warrior of Light. Not anymore.

ehhh with a confirm date just announced like 2 days ago for the 25th. 95% sure she'll come out sept

Yeah, I know. And it's Max Factory, not Alter. Though it looks like that Black Hanekawa reissue I want is going to get hit with another delay. How can Alter fuck up reissues?

well GSC tends to have delays as well. I mean look at Bayonetta .
Also I just scored an 8.7k haruhi
yusssssss
Belldandy got delayed. I can't say whether or not I'm disappointed. I kind of wanted her behind me so I wouldn't have to worry anymore, but October is okay still.
If she gets delayed to November, though, that puts her with RAH Link, which I do not want.
I wonder if we'll ever see Alter's Melty or Suzuha.

5.8k at AmiAmi...
..Can anyone think of a reason I shouldn't tack this onto my Sept. AmiAmi order? I've only got Zero Suit Samus and Karen Araragi (GSC). And she'll go great with Koto's Kabuto next month.

Because its ugly and tacky?

this reminds me.
What are the limits you guys put in terms of sexual/ecchi figures. Like is castoff a nogo even if you don't display it? Native offlimits?
I'm curious.
I wouldn't even really buy a bikini figure unless that was someone's default look.
Freezasaurus
Member
I didn't think it was that bad.
I generally don't buy bikini figures or things of that nature. Cast-offs are alright, as I wouldn't display them in the nude anyhow.
Though I think my limits on overly-sexualized figures have taken a hit since I saw that figure over at HLJ of a chick getting boned by a dog. Because no matter what I buy, at least it isn't that.
I'd settle with tasteless, but eh.
Regarding limits, I don't have any but at the same time I'm not into nude or almost nude figures unless it's part of a source material I'm interested in. Same with bikini figures. Cast-offs simply stay on (getting closer and closer to ordering that school council vice president heh).

for me i have no issues with nudity and/or sexuality unless its really out there. Bikini figures are totally fine (villetta nu). I have the kos mos one as well since I got that for like 5k and I didn't want to pay like 15k for the other one.
I do have sasaki, but I didn't get her because she was topless. I just like the whole design and colors. It just worked well.

I own Sasaki Kotone and she's displayed in a detolf. She's one of the best, highest quality figures I've got. My housemates were as impressed with her as Saber bike when they both arrived last week(fuck the shipping cost on those monster boxes). Being an artist has always seemed to afford me some leeway in that regard though. I have trays full of nude life drawings and reference photographs laying around in my office, so a small pair of sculpted boobs doesn't surprise or offend anybody.
If I had a limit it would just be figures I don't like. Native has done some great stuff and some bizarre and tacky stuff, so I don't feel the need to regulate beyond what appeals to me. For example, I don't like the nipples on that Noel figure despite the result not being all that sexual in the grand scheme of things, because they aren't visible in the original artwork.

Which one? The standard or the catsuit version? I like them both, but I almost pulled the trigger on the currently available school uniform version. But then I saw some pics of her on MFC. There are some pretty nasty seams on that figure. They're under the clothes, so you won't see them unless you display her nekkid, but still. For a $90-ish figure, that's unacceptable.
Catsuit version is appealing, but the price is a bit steep.
I'm kind of excited for the upcoming Spider-Man statue by J Scott Campbell. Would be the last pre-order to complete the trio and also finally obtain a statue for my favorite hero.
As for limits, I'd be open to owning a nude figure if it was tasteful/amazing art. Would likely have to discuss it with my girlfriend though, haha. I do have a castoff, the Sigrid of the Thorn. I like the design with the clothes on since it's a bit tacky in the nude.
