Hello MFC! And welcome to another blog in my collection series! These blogs cover figures from my collection that have been in storage for a long time due to my emigration.

The figures we are going to look at today:

Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte - Mugimaru - Nakahara Komugi - 1/10 - DX Ver. (Wave)

For a more detailed look, I made this review a while back , now I'll just show some pictures with my new camera!

This figure is of great quality for her age and I love her winking face!

Strike Witches - Francesca Lucchini - EX Figure - vol. 5 (SEGA)

A Francesca prize figure with very cool posing!

Looking from the side at this figure you get a full panty shot, which I have put in spoiler to keep this blog SFW: View spoilerHide spoiler

The shimapan lines are painted very well, especially for a prize figure!

The details on the gun are good too.

The eye decals are so vibrant and the facial expression is great! A really highly recommended prize figure for Francesca fans.

________________________________________________________________________________

Moetan - Pastel Ink - 1/6 (Clayz)

A very cute Ink figure, but of pretty low quality. Mine had issues with cracking paint right out of the box and I always had to be very careful while cleaning her to not cause more damage. Luckily I managed to also get my hands on her Garage Kit later , which I am considering to paint in a very different color.

The posing is so cute, but the overall quality is just so bad, especially compared to the prototype she was advertised with. Well, at least nowadays she sells on average for only about 2K, so you're paying about prize figure prices to get a figure with matching quality.

POP Wonderland #2 Little Red Riding Hood

Another cute POP Wonderland set I'll do a quick run-through of, this time Little Red Riding Hood.

________________________________________________________________________________

Akazukin - POP Wonderland #2 Little Red Riding Hood - POP Wonderland (System Service)

Such a cute, little diorama.

________________________________________________________________________________

Akazukin - POP Wonderland #2 Little Red Riding Hood - POP Wonderland (System Service)

________________________________________________________________________________

Akazukin - POP Wonderland #2 Little Red Riding Hood - POP Wonderland (System Service)

She looks a bit too innocent considering the nature of this scene.

________________________________________________________________________________

Akazukin - POP Wonderland #2 Little Red Riding Hood - POP Wonderland (System Service)

A big scare from the Big Bad Wolf! Little Red Riding Hood's facial expressions are definitely a lot better than the POP Wonderland set from Thumbelina, covered here .

Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow - Charlotte E Yeager - 1/8 - Bunny Style (Aquamarine)

And the last of the Aquamarine bunnies for me to cover, and my favorite from the set as well!

I just love the design of her bunny suit and again the colors are so soft on this figure!

Officially you're not supposed to display her with the hat and the hand holding the card together, but you can make this work by either letting her wear the hat backwards or only on 1 ear (like I did here).

I am not sure if the spots on her hat and head are dirt or paint transfers. I'll be cleaning her again soon and will check. This was all dirt I didn't catch with my eyes, but the camera for sure did!

I like the included belt! And the bunny suit is incredibly shiny.

I don't know how otherwise to describe it than the 'soft look' the other bunnies in this line also have. She is stunning!

I like the sculpt and shading of the hair!

And to finish it!

For those who read all this way, thank you! My next blog will probably be a GK walktrough, but might be another entry for this blog type!

I hope you enjoyed this blog, you could also check my others if you're interested! As promised, for every new blog I would fix the image hosting of an older blog. On request I have fixed:
Muv-Luv Alternative - Yashiro Kasumi 1/6 - 4-Leaves Kotobukiya:
If you also have any you would like me to fix, let me know!

darkfader • 22 days ago • #91944238Now I wondered if there were witches figures that came with interchangeable legs/striker units. I guess there are some...
Also wondering if there's going to be more Brave Witches figures...

Also I think almost all of the Nendoroid, Figma and A.G.P. come with both normal and Striker Unit legs. I don't think there are prizes or scaleds that come with both, though.

I think Brave Witches wasn't as much of a success as they hoped. I rather think we can maybe expect slowly some more SW figures with the new season. Although I don't know if is making much sales actually.

ManofCulture • 22 days ago • #91942516Here I am minding my own business and then decide to click on this article and what reward do i get for my curiosity? That Francesca figure... what am I looking at? Where are her feet?! (Very interesting pose though) Probably the weirdest thing I’ve seen today yet. I then look at the article writer and yep it’s you again. First the RE ducks and now this, what are you doing to me with all this randomness? XD Least you made up for it with the bunny figure though. Noice...

LOL, you haven't seen something related to Strike Witches before? Feel free to explore: . In short, they are wearing plane legs and use them to fly. :)

And well, yeah, I guess I own quite a lot of weird stuff. I also really recommend those Aquamarine Strike Witches bunnies!

I didn't forget about your other comment, I just want to sit down for a proper/longer answer!

setokaibaswife • 22 days ago • #91941243Thanks, I'll keep looking! Actually your article inspired me to look for her and I managed to find one of her smaller figures for a reasonable price. Finally!
I really love reading your blogs, we have very very similar taste.

*glances at your profile* Ah, ! Very nice! She is very similar to the scaled figure here, which is one of the reasons why it's lower on my wishlist hehe. So it should be a good figure especially if the Wave one is so hard to get!

Thank you! I think it's quite interesting how we have similar taste, but very different collections. :)

Especially in the last 5 years the prices of her items have been increasing a lot and items seem to sell out faster!! But don't lose hope, not very long ago I managed to get for a good price!

victorviper • 23 days ago • #91877256The Sega Lucchini has quite an interesting pose - it's too bad they settled on using that little cup to support her. The pantsu shot is fairly aggressive for a Sega prize figure, too.
The Shirley bunny looks probably the most natural of all the figures in that line simply because her familiar is of course a rabbit. The variant of that figure with the black suit looks quite neat, but it seems quite rare.
The pose on that Ink figure is interesting, but as you noted, it looks like the quality of the figure is not so great.

I personally don't think the display cup is too bad. It makes her raised up quite high in my display case and easy to display smaller items in front of her. :) It also feels way sturdier than any support poles I have on other prize figures.

In general these bunnies have not been super easy to find. Sometimes I would find a loose one in stock somewhere, but they always seemed to sell quite fast (Lynette a bit slower than the others though). Did my recent blogs convince you to get one (or multiple) of them?

Yeah the quality is absolutely not good. I wouldn't recommend the figure unless someone really is a completionist of Moetan merchandise. I am very happy to own the GK now and hope that when my painting skills are better I can make a better looking version of this sculpt! :D

setokaibaswife • 22 days ago • #91897703I'm so jealous of that Komugi! I've been trying to get ahold of one of her figures for years now. They're so elusive.
