Random PVC entry.

June 24, 2007

Not many of these are PVCs that I actually want, but only sort of caught my attention. A lot of them are pretty, but the line-up this time really has no particular theme.

Fantaz moon

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥

I have to admit, this is a very pretty-looking PVC. This is a character titled “Fantaz Moon” from Type-Moon’s artbook, Character Material. It resembles Arc appearance-wise, and is wearing a dress resembling the dress Arc’s character wears, only shorter. The character sports a nicely detailed pole-arm, and from what it seems… it’s overall pretty well-sculpted. I could live without it, but I wouldn’t mind owning this piece at all.

Nakoruru pvc

Level of Want: ♥ ♥

Being a former Nakoruru fan, I thought it’d be nice to mention this PVC in my next PVC entry. Though, as much as her attire and hair are well depicted, the way her face was sculpted really irks me. Something about it just doesn’t owe up to the rest of the PVC– sorry. Otherwise, I probably would’ve bought this piece. I really do like the shading in the fabric, though.

Ayu PVC Max Factory

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥

Uguuuu~ Naturally, it’s the wings that really caught my attention. There are several Ayu PVCs that I liked, but they all generally look the same. Though Ayu isn’t my favorite character from the game, she pretty much represents Kanon. Despite that, though… I do like Ayu. The other PVC that I had my eyes on, she had some taiyaki. This one she has wings. Oh, how do I choose?! Though, Max Factory did not choose a good shade of yellow to paint her jacket with. They should’ve gone with a shade learning towards a beige hue. The nice pink tint in the wings work pretty well, though. I wonder how it’d work out if they were a light blue, instead.

Ayumi Hizuki

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥

Though I am not completely familiar with the game… it looks like it’s pretty generic when it comes to eroge. Despite that, though, I’m somwhat interested. The anime (ero) adaption has a pretty high rating, so I might check it out. The pose the figure is sculpted in is very attractive, and… so is the box. If I do end up getting it, it’d probably be the most erotic PVC I would own. I tend not to purchase PVCs that aren’t conservative enough to show to your parents, but something about this PVC really makes me like it… other than the extremely pretty box-art. I recall having a few images of this series, but that’s as far as my fandom goes.

Ruri nightgown PVC

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ But I won’t get it.

*Drool* Ruri… in a nightgown. This is a freaking 1/5 scale resin statue, meaning it is VERY EXPENSIVE! This is one hot PVC. Not only is it Ruri, or the fact that she’s in a nightgown… nor the fact that she’s in a very sexy pose, along with showing a good amount of skin without exposing way too much…. It’s her twin-tails. Her sexy… sexy twin-tails. I absolutely love them– they’re painted in a beautiful shade of blue, and they rest around her body in gentle, relaxed curls. My god. The only reason I won’t get this is because it costs over $200 dollars, and that it’s pretty much sold out. … But I want it so bad. +___+

Somewhat ゴスロリ PVCs

June 23, 2007

Gothic lolita PVCs! Though, not everything I post here will truly fit in this catagory, they all somewhat do in a way. Oh well, it’s just a title, right? XD;

Pachira PVC

Level of Want: HAVE IT! OMG.

Pachira from Renkin San-kyuu Magical Poka~n, voiced by… HIRANO AYA. -Drool.- This PVC isn’t quite gothic lolita– more visual kei, but why the heck would I put up a title like “Visual kei PVCs”? “Gosurori” sounds so much better. I love Pachira… Though the official spelling of her name is off, if she was typed as “Pakira”, you can’t help but to think of America’s Latino pop sensation, “Shakira”. Oh my god.

But seriously, Pachira is rather hot. This PVC… is hot. Her pose is just breathtaking in this PVC, and the transparent coffin she’s holding onto? Sheer brilliance. Max Factory seriously outdone themselves on this one.

Mikey said there is a chance that he might be giving my this PVC. As I mentioned earlier, receiving PVCs from those that you love… especially when the PVC is just AWESOME, it means so much more to me, rather than just a shallow relationship between me and a brilliantly-made PVC for aesthetic purposes. This PVC is orgasmic– I’d appreciate it a lot if he really did. I’d be overwhelmed with happiness. It’d deserve a spot near my computer, just like my favorite Ruu PVC does.

Edit: OMG, YOU’RE KIDDING! Mikey seriously bought me this PVC. @__@ I feel just I predicted that I’d feel, and thensome. Oh my god Mikey, thank you. I’m really happy. ><! That just… totally made the highlight of my bleak Onii-chan-less week. OMG, I CAN’T EVEN… DESCRIBE… HOW HAPPY I AM. -Explodes.-

Len PVC concept image

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Type-Moon PVCs… It is sad to say, the only real Type-Moon PVC I own is Saber in a maid uniform, which turned out to be a fake. You really can’t tell in poorly-lit display boxes. Though, as I am disappointed with the only one I own… This PVC is a must-have! Not only am I a BIG BIG BIG fan of Len and Melty Blood, I have NEVER seen an official PVC of her.

It’s pretty cheap, too… about $40? Not bad, for a set of two. I’d spend that much money on just buying one.

This is a set of two 21cm (despite the picture saying 19cm) PVCs made by SEGA. One of Arc, which I’m not AS interested in as Len, but it looks very pretty nonetheless. The other one is Len… standing on a cake. Does that not scream awesome? I love Len. I don’t care who buys this for me, it also deserves a spot next to my computer. I feel like I’m in love.

Suigintou PVC

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Suigintou… the most loved character of Rozen Maiden, for a good reason! It seems as if they intentionally outdone Suigintou’s overall character design to give her the triumphant attention that she gets, over all the other dolls within the series. This PVC, made by a company named as “Yujin”, it is highly detailed in both sculpting and painting. There she lays 1/7 scale on an upsidedown cross, maliciously holding a feather in a sadistic-looking glare. God damn, that is hot. Not only is this PVC moe, it’s elegance makes it exceed being just a PVC– it can be admired by those that aren’t even otaku. I want it.

Amano Chiwa PVC

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥

Amano Chiwa from _Summer. I’ve always had a thing for those cute stoic characters in most games, thus the fanboyism over Len. (oh got len is hot) Despite the seifuku, I think her hairstyle, attitude, and the crosses in her hair is enough to consider her somewhat gothic lolita. Those crosses are eyecatching. I would like to own this PVC, though it isn’t necessary. I really like those crosses… Seriously.

Misamisa PVC prototype

Level of Want: ♥ ♥

This is the prototype PVC of Misamisa of DeathNote by Jun Planning. Though I must admit, PVCs, dolls, and overall merchendise of this series are normally very interesting… not to mention, Misamisa looks quite good in her PVC’s appearance, despite it being only a prototype. Like the others, it’s not completely “gothic lolita” rather than VK, I thought she deserved some mention in this entry… since this PVC kicks so much ass.

Mabinogi NAOThe back of the NAO PVC

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Nao from the Korean MMORPG, Mabinogi has her very own PVC by GSC made of her. This PVC has been around for quite a while now, and has been sold by most major PVC distributors. Some people buy it without even knowing what the hell Mabinogi is. Most fans are anticipating the English release of the game online, just as I am. Nao comes complete with her staff, semi-translucent attire, and sexy twin tails. I suppose Nao isn’t quite gothic lolita either… (I’m questioning my title choices, now.) This PVC has such a high rating for me because… well, Nao is just hot. Her bright blue eyes are captivating, and I’m a sucker for both white hair and twintails. My Onii-chan agrees.

So I suppose after typing about all those PVCs… none of them are truly “gothic lolita” other than Len and Suigintou, and Len is just borderlining it, I think. Nonethless, they’re all pretty damn great. If only I could just… afford them all. XD

To Heart 2 PVCs – KOTOBUKIYA

June 22, 2007

Ahh, my first PVC review. Here’s a key.

“Level of Want.”

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ = Must Have. I’m going to die if I don’t get it. Top priority.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ = I really really want it. It’s queued for purchase.

♥ ♥ ♥= I want it, but I can live without it. I’ll still consider spending money on it, though.

♥ ♥ = I’d be happy to get it, but I don’t need to get it. I’d get it if I have extra money.

♥ = It’s a nice PVC. I like looking at it.

Have it. = I have it. =P

Ruu PVC

Level of Want: Have it.

Though, it may not be the best or most expensive PVC, but it is clearly my top favorite as of now. Given to me by my Onii-chan, it has a lot of sentimental value, which has shown me getting PVCs that I want from someone I love has this whole new feeling that just overwhelms me. I love my Onii-chan. I love PVCs. See how that goes together very well? Ruu, also being one of our favorite characters from To Heart 2, she deserved a special spot in front of my keyboard so I can see her while I’m at my computer.

There’s a difference between the cheaper $30-$40 PVCs that KOTOBUKIYA makes, from the $60 to $100 ones, but either way, they make aesthetically pleasing PVCs typically. Though the colours of Ruu’s seifuku isn’t exactly right– the bow, rather than being a darker shade, it’s actually lighter and in a different hue. The seifuku top, which was normally a very light pink, it is painted white, instead. Her hair is nicely sculpted, however, it lacks in detail when it comes to painting. Her overall body is sculpted very well– her face, neck, hands, legs, etc… nice skin tone. I love seeing her knee-high stockings wrap around her slender legs, as well. The pose she is in is absolutely wonderful. It captures her character, and aside of it being totally moe, it also has a certain elegance to it as well. The positioning of her hands just finishes it off. Though I have nothing really against it, the platform she comes in is a rather plain, light green one. It doesn’t look all too bad though. My Konomi (seifuku) PVC also comes in an identical platform, only her’s is light blue.

Konomi PVC

Level of Want: Have it.

Konomi is one of the characters that gives me the most powerful blow of moe, TO MY FACE. Though, the relationship Konomi and I have is rather shallow, I am a big fan of her. This PVC is also a $30-$40 KOTOBUKIYA piece, meaning, it lacks in some detail that other, more expensive PVCs have. Her sakura-petal hair ties aren’t nearly as pink as they should be. They look like tiny manju if anything… I suppose that is sort of cute. XD Her seifuku is painted differently than Ruu’s, if not better. Her seifuku top is actually a light pink, whereas Ruu’s is white. (She’s still my favorite, though.) I really adore how the bow in this one is sculpted. Konomi is put in a rather odd pose in this PVC though… Her legs look uncomfortably placed, even though it’s clear that she’s running. I wondered how she was in that pose, but her foot is actually screwed into the platform. Her face is perfect, though, aside from the lack in detail for the eyes, but it still suffices. Oh yeah uh… her panties are blue.

Konomi Swimsuit PVC

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ve been drooling over this Konomi PVC for quite a while, now. I have yet to purchase it, but it’s so lovely… Her body is so nicely sculpted– the pose just sends chills though my spine. The detail on her skin, in the fabric, her hair– even her shoes look pretty darn cool. That’s not all… IT COMES WITH AN INFLATABLE INNER TUBE?! Augh, this PVC just screams moe. It’s one of the higher-end PVCs by this company. There’s quite the difference. Take a look at this.

Back of Konomi (swimsuit)Back of Konomi PVC

See the difference, here? The swimsuit Konomi has more detail in her skin and tiny bikini than it does in her seifuku counterpart. The most noticeable thing, though… is her hair. Take a look at it. In her swimsuit (more expensive) version, her hair has detail showing where it parts to tie her pigtails. (And you can’t see in the picture, but she has fingernails in the swimsuit version, but not the seifuku version… but I suppose that’s a given, considering their prices.) Anyways, take a look at the seifuku version’s hair. Though the pigtails details aren’t all too shabby, the back of her head is completely round. It looks really funny, but if you don’t put them together in comparison, it’d probably do okay in most peoples’ eyes. Anywho, the swimsuit version comes with a nice detailed platform, which has sort of a sandy texture to make her seem like she’s in a nice beach setting. Hee~

Kotobukiya To Heart 2 Figure Collection

Level of Want: ♥ ♥ ♥

Last but not least, the KOTOBUKIYA One Coin Grande To Heart 2 Figure Set. (That was a mouthful!) Whoever buys this for me will make me VERY happy. I love this set– especially Konomi, Ruu, and Manaka, here. It looks very well-painted from the photo, and the detail doesn’t look that bad, either, especially when each one of them is doing something different, each in a different setting. KOTOBUKIYA did a very good job on it, though, I dislike the ones of Karin and Tamaki– but then again, I don’t like their characters anyway. I’ve never really seen this set on sale, nor have I ever seen anyone owning it. If anyone finds it at a decent price for me, I might consider getting it.
