As it is way too hot in this part of the world, we’ll look this week at Illya and Chloe von Einzbern, two girls who are dressed to beat the heat. They’re a little young-looking but that shouldn’t be anything … Continue reading →

Innocent Fairy Freesia from Tony’s Heroine Collection

written on June 13, 2016 by Tier

The third panty fairy in Kotobukiya’s lineup is Freesia. She is evidently the youngest of the trio and thus it is appropriate that she was the last to be released – just a couple of months ago, in fact, so … Continue reading →

Fairy Garden Annabel from Tony’s Heroine Collection

written on May 31, 2016 by Tier

A few years back, Kotobukiya released Daisy, which became one of my favorite figures. Since then, they’ve released two more panty-clad fairy girl figures, also derived from Tony Taka artwork. They are generally referred to as sisters, though they don’t … Continue reading →

Fuumanin Hime Kagura from the Lechery HENTAI Series (NSFW)

written on April 7, 2016 by Tier

The conventional wisdom would have it that Japanese anime and tentacles go together like politics and corruption. As is often the case, the veracity of this stereotype is overstated; these days, even in adult-oriented media, there aren’t really that many … Continue reading →

Preorder Outlook XLVI

written on March 31, 2016 by Tier

It’s been too long since the last preorder post and there are way too many figures to discuss. I’ve left off Japan-exclusive figures, since there are so many that I haven’t yet looked at the ones that I might be … Continue reading →

Nurse Momoi from the Native Creators Collection (NSFW)

written on March 8, 2016 by Tier

Back in the day, getting a Native figure was a rare and exciting moment. The thrill has been lessened somewhat by the proliferation of excellent sexually explicit figures – particularly those from SkyTube – but nonetheless, Native is still amongst … Continue reading →

written on February 23, 2016 by Tier
