Will anyone buy this? Really?

0
0
Even the title of the doll cracks me up: "Brazilian Banana Bonanza" Barbie Doll by Bob Mackie. Say that quickly 3 times.
She is listed at $150. That's $140. for the long name and $10 for the bananas.  

Here's the promo copy from Mattel:
Designed by: Robert Best
Release Date: 11/15/2012
Product Code: W3515
She’s a glamazon from the Amazon, a Latin bombshell as hot and steamy as Rio. This tutti fruitti beauty celebrates the vibrant rhythms of Brazil: the sultry samba, the bossa nova. And while performing in her tropical wonderland, the perfect, jazzy fashion fantasy is festooned with brilliant yellow bananas!
Bob Mackie draws inspiration from a South American paradise. Brazilian Banana Bonanza Barbie® wears an exuberant, white-and-lime striped sarong. The dramatic skirt is edged with a bounty of “bananas.” Her basket headpiece holds “fruit” and hibiscus “blossoms.” Lace up platform sandals and colorful earrings and bangles complete her look. The final pièce de résistance is her favorite companion— an exotic “feathered” friend.
Good grief.

BTW  It's spelled tutti frutti, not tutti fruitti.

OMG It’s Huge: Massive Worrible from Dead Zebra

Andrew Bell has just released Massive Worrible. It’s the same Worrible we know and love. But it’s got a two frickin’ foot diameter. I’d love to drive around town with one strapped into my passenger seat and pretend to get mad when people gave me dirty looks. Buy one or the twenty made for $160 at Dead Zebra.

Koto suits up Muv-Luv Alternative's Yui for pre-order

Koto suits up Muv-Luv Alternative's Yui for pre-order screenshot

It's obvious that the ladies of Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse have a certain aspect about them that cannot be overlooked. Figure manufacturers have also taken notice to this certain aspect, especially Alpha Max. In fact, it was them that recently focused on such with Miss Yui Takamura who casually relaxes (NSFW) with her body bursting out.

However, it can't always be a time to relax and ALTER Kotobukiya recognizes this with their own 1/7-scale release of Yui who is ready for battle. Yui has some beautiful eyes and the gentleness of her mouth and lips are just as beautiful. Yui has an interesting hair style though it seems like just too much going on with the number of directions it goes. The uniform itself has a nice contrast of colors on it as well as patterns from head to toe. Though, it seems rather bland in the front due to her large breasts being just that. It does make them stand out certainly but it would have been nice for the character design to have something going on there, too. I'm actually more interested in the back because there is more to see with the various patterns that are throughout the uniform. This is mostly covered by her long hair swaying, drawing more attention to the way the uniform wraps around her hips and butt which is unfortunate. One of the bonuses of this figure is Yui stands poised with sword drawn as she rests against rumble from an unknown structure. Oh, wait. Rocks or broken buildings! It's always either of those two! Aye...

ALTER's Kotobukiya's 1/7-scale Yui Takamura is a nice looking figure for design and colors, and I admit that it's hard to look away from the large breasts and tight butt that this uniform conforms to. If you're looking for an attractive figure of Yui but cannot bring yourself to buy Alpha Max's skin figures, ALTER's Kotobukiya's may be the choice for you. Look for her to go up for pre-order on November 20, 2012 in Japan now.

Update: Now available for pre-order. Koto's Yui from Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse is retailing for ¥8,800 and will be available in April, 2013.

Matty's 'Better than Black Friday' sale will be on 11/21

Matty's 'Better than Black Friday' sale will be on 11/21 screenshot

Matty Collector's annual Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is scheduled to begin on 11/21 (starting at 12 p.m. EST) and will run for six days. Savings are advertised as being up to 30% off but the biggest savings will likely come from bundled shipping since many items will be offered at once.

If previous years are any indication, much of the selection will likely be withheld stock from earlier in the year meaning that many items will be in fairly short supply. Although the sale may run six days, odds are that the best goodies will run out within the first few hours.

So far the selection hasn't been announced, but expect it to include virtually every item released so far this year. While I imagine at least some people need the opportunity to get their Black Lion (whom was apparently in short supply during his previous sale), I'm personally looking forward to a second opportunity to buy the Sorceress.

Nendoroid Dead Master is animated for Black Rock Shooter

Nendoroid Dead Master is animated for Black Rock Shooter screenshot

With Black Rock Shooter running its course for figure releases, how can one make money off the title still? That's easy! Make figures for the anime TV Animation Black Rock Shooter! We've already seen Good Smile Company start doing this with the figma release of Black Gold Saw and now Dead Master is getting in on the action. Nope, not the figma version that we last saw at Wonder Festival in July. We're going back to Nendoroid figures with Nendoroid Dead Master following up the TV Animation version of Black Rock Shooter.

So what makes Nendoroid Dead Master TV Animation ver. special? For starters, she has color! Her bone horns are now colored green along with her wings, edges of her sleeves, and the ribbons around her ankles. There are also more frills than before. For those who cannot resist a lady in glasses, you're in trouble now that Dead Master includes them. Her Dead Scythe has also been updated, looking much deadlier than before. The metallic green looks great on this weapon. For those not big on Nendoroid Dead Master's veil, you can feel better knowing it can be removed to look at her green tinted hair.

Nendoroid Dead Master only comes with two faces; a serious face and a smiling face. I guess it's to make room for the hand parts to hold her scythe and the crossed legs and hands that rest on her throne. Yes, one of the nifty parts about this figure is that Nendoroid Dead Master will include a swanky throne to sit on. Of course this throne doesn't have to be reserved just for Dead Master.

Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Dead Master TV Animation ver. is now available for pre-order set at a retail price of ¥4,286. Look for her to be judging you from her throne in April, 2013.

The Toaru girls are encapsulated into the CapsuleQ series

The Toaru girls are encapsulated into the CapsuleQ series screenshot

Did you know Kaiyodo is in the capsule figure making business? Why yes! They do more than just Revoltech figures! The company has a series of Figures called the CapsuleQ Fraulein which is relatively still new with only four releases under its belt. Now the company has a fifth release coming focusing on the girls of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.

The CapsuleQ Fraulein Toaru Kagaku no Railgun set of capsule figures will have a total of four girls to collect along with a couple of charms for your bag or cell phone. The figures to collect are Mikoto, Kuroko, Kazari, and Ruiko, each posed in a fashion to their character. ...and apparently in a way that has all their skirts lifting. Oh come on! Is that really necessary? These are capsule figures so I'm not sure what kind of quality you're looking for under those skirts. Speaking of which, the quality is looking rather decent for capsule toys. Obviously no prize figure standards and definitely no PVC figure quality here but they are still somewhat nice looking. The poses themselves are also dynamic and not boring in anyway. Heck, Kuroko's hair is surprisingly animated even if it looks like the head of Medusa. As mentioned earlier, the capsule set will also include a charm for your bag and cell phone of Gekota that Mikoto is seen having.

If you're interested in what Kaiyodo has to offer for their CapsuleQ Fraulein Toaru Kagaku no Railgun of figures, a single box will net you 24 pieces. Since there are so many pieces, it does come at the expensive retail price of ¥9,143. So find some friends and get to working on those arrangement! Or just resell what you don't need. You have time to figure that out since these will not come out until March, 2013.
