Speaking
of Tower of Druaga, I
came upon a cool figure today. It's Alter's
take on Fatina, and it's a great sculpt-- interesting, lively
pose, good facial expression, and it's remarkably hot without being
skimpy or pandering too heavily. Okay, that can probably be pinned in
large part to the vaguely skin-colored leggings she wears under those
thigh-high boots and super-duper-short dress...shirt...thingie.
Anyway,
it's a hot figure, but not cheap-- at ¥8,610
($91
USD), even the 25% off sale AmiAmi is offering doesn't make it super
affordable...the sale price is ¥6,380,
about $67
USD. Probably not going on my to-buy list, but a very nice figure all
the same.
And like you said, gia, the character looks hot without being half (or three fourths) nekkid with zeppelin-sized boobs. That's not exactly what you said, but that's what I heard in my head.
Now, if there was a sculpt this good (or better) of Youko Nakajima (Twelve Kingdoms) or Shinobu Nagumo (Patlabor), I'd be all over them; recession/financial crisis be damned. :)
