Danny Choo and Goodsmile Company want to know your top five most wanted figures. Here’s the original link if you live under a rock and haven’t seen the post yet. Just for this article’s sake, let’s hypothetically extend the offer to Max Factory and Alter just to be fair.
1. Misuzu Kamio (Air) - This one may not be fair to some of the other girls that don’t have a figure to represent them yet. Misuzu does have five to her name, but the only decent one is Kotobukiya’s Misuzu. I’d like to see her get a good sculpt worthy of the Gao.
2. Kirika Yumura (Noir) - Kirika has a Yamato coldcast and a few Kotobukiya resin kits, all of which are long out of production. Her Yamato sculpt was good, but I’d like to have another Kirika in the Detolf case. If a company produced a dual display with Mireille, that’s easy money from all the Noir fans who would be obligated to purchase her as well.
3. Signum (Nanoha A’s/StrikerS) - I picked Signum just for the hell of it. She’ll eventually get her turn in production from Alter and Movic, but it just seems to be taking forever. I’d probably buy a good Signum figure.
4. Eve (Black Cat) - Another girl that has quite a few figures to her name, all of which are subpar. Is it really that hard to sculpt a good Eve?
5. Adult Fate Testarossa (Nanoha StrikerS) - I know a good Fate will eventually get produced but is still worth mentioning.
In retrospect, my list has way too many blonde girls and may technically list six figures. Hmm. Oh well. At least I didn’t list a million “honorable mentions” at the end… … …
Fine. Here are my honorable mentions:
Aono Morimiya (Sola)
Misaki Nakahara (Welcome to the NHK!)
Tokiko Tsumura (Busou Renkin)
Agrias Oaks (Final Fantasy Tactics)

Give me a diecast fully-posable Id-Weltall from Xenogears and I’ll be set for life.
That would probably be more along the lines of a model kit. If there’s enough demand, it might have a shot. The Xenogears mecha look damn cool.
“Zone of the Enders: Anubis” had some cold-cast models of Jehuty during their launch. That’s the sort of limited-edition thing everyone wishes they had.
After googling that, it is one sweet statue. All the cool ones are limited edition and out of print now.
I don’t think I have enough big figures to make an informed decision yet…. But Fumie from Eldeweiss has to be in the top 5. HAS TO BE.(I want her sooo much…) I’m also really fond of my Clalaclan from Shining Wind. And my Sumomo!!! I think Chie Yoshioka will be a favourite when I go to pick her up on saturday too… And I can’t help loving my Sana Horiuchi!! OH!! And Fauna!! From Megachu! I wants her…. :sob: The full cast off one. Her face is so much brighter and cuter than the other one.
