TSUKUDA HOBBY Ladies... Revised

[tasuke]

well, i knew... JUST KNEW there was SOMETHING off about these dolls that kept on bugging me, but i just couldn't quite finger it... until just a couple days ago.

indeed, i found myself ending up as Dr. FRANKENSTEIN, completely dismantling the dolls' bodies, and finding that they were improperly assembled at the factory,
little wonder they felt all askew to me! further, in the end, i found myself sacrificing my Akari Kamigishi (red-haired girl)
to give both my HMX-12 Multi (green-hair) and Shaorin Shichiri (lavender hair) much, much better physical proportions,
and double-jointed elbows, which Shaorin lacked, which allows her a much better range of feminine poses.

these two look great together now, IMHO, and since the EBAY seller i got the two ToHeart dolls from still has stock available,
i think i'll get myself another Akari Kamigishi, (red-hair) tweak her the same way, and call it a day and be satisfied.

then again, i might just leave these two by themselves, they work so well now as a set, IMO...

1/6 Doll.. ^_^ there is always, something off about them

[tasuke]

1/5, in the case of these, actually.

indeed, it is fairly rare, the Anime doll of any scale that truly manages to capture the essence of the character it is modelling,
but it does happen, and for me, at least, the better dolls of my favorite charas are irresistible in their versatility
of dress-up and customization options.

1/6 OBITSU BODY-based character dolls like my Mikuru Asahina are among the very best you can get, IMO;

They do look good for dolls. I'm more of a straight single pose statue like figure individual though. I will say this though, when it comes to the Japanese approach to action figures, they are miles above the approach to America's concept. The idea of "ball joint" style appendages really give some serious flexibility for positioning options even if it does make the figures look just a tad strange.

oh boy.. hobbycentic JUST wait til you get into the 1/6 action figures/dolls

example:
Square Enix Play Arts Kai... they are getting SO MUCH BETTER every time a figure is release, however their figures are not pose-friendly, bulky, and has brittle parts.
Real Action Heroes... their NEWER line-up features hop-up faces, but they still have VERY crappy 1/6 body (Floral wiring dip in plastic)

I don't need to get into action figures. My school theme shelf is now packed and can't hold any more figures...I'd like to collect more of the Yamato Girls but don't have a place to put up a shelf for them. I keep getting Sonico figures ( she's my true weak spot ) with no real additional space to put her. Then there is Queen's Blade. Plus the occasional To Heart's and miscellaneous figures as well...Curse you all for showing me AmiAmi! ( joking of course )

I never got into the bigger sized action figure line myself. Lack of space, and to be honest not much I'm that interested in, compared to Figma for example.
