I was very surprised when I saw the first pictures of Alter’s Momohime figure; she was one of those characters that I had hoped would get a figure but didn’t expect to. Alter had already shown some love to Vanillaware’s … Continue reading →

Senhime from Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls

written on July 14, 2010 by Tier

The girls-with-melee-weapons trope is one of my favorite themes in anime. My very favorite? No, that would be tentacles. But it’s close, I cannot deny that. There have been a bunch of figure series centered on this concept, with the … Continue reading →

Ameri Kawai from Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity (NSFW)

written on July 9, 2010 by Tier

Feels like I’ve been doing nothing but ecchi stuff for the last month. And looking back at my past entries, it seems that’s exactly the case. Oh well, I surely didn’t start this site to be all-ages friendly. Next figure … Continue reading →

Doujinshi and Doll Stuff, Part 1 (NSFW)
