Figuremakers Yamato have a cool line called Creators' Labo, a series of sexy-classy figures (as opposed to sexy-trashy), based on the work of various illustrators, including a number by a favorite artist of mine, Shunya Yamashita.
But today's illustrator isn't Yamashita, it's someone else-- Jun Tsukasa, best known for his doujinshi, particularly revolving around video game characters and female ninja, samurai, and other historical styles.
This figure is neither of those, though, but rather more of a sci-fi action work. And you know, whether you find the tail-slash-buttplug a little odd, she is gorgeously sculpted. I sort of wish they'd gone with the more lively winking face from the original illustration, but I can't fault pretty much anything else. Her hair looks fantastic, and good god, the woman's clothing looks like actual leather and metal.
It may or may not be your style, but you can't deny that it's spectacular work. And currently on sale for only ¥9,180-- about $102 USD (formerly closer to $120). When I win the lottery, she is sold.
What do you think?
