Witchblade Masane Amou PVC Galore!

As the title implies, there is more than one figure of Masane Amou here. Nothing beats Ignis' 3 consecutive releases, though. I'm not really a fan of the anime, but I admit that the 2 figurines on offer from GDH (part of Gonzo, I assume) and Kotobukiya are really something. I planned to do this update a few days back, but decided to wait till I got some colour pictures of the figures. God knows how many people were already running the magazine scans. First up is GDH's version, pictures courtesy of moeyo.com. This version features Masane in sort of a 'naughty' pose, bending forwards and giving us a good look at her 'back regions'. It's rather unnatural of her character, but sexy nonetheless. For such a pose, her facial expression seems out of place though. Shouldn't she be giving us a naughty smile or something? Her finger on her chin certainly seems to be trying to indicate that. The hair is quite well done, sharp and separated (hate those lump hairstyles). The blade she manifests on her arm is interchangeable, there's the long one and the short one as you can see below. At around 20cm, I assume she's a 1/8 scale?

If we were just to go by the pre-painted pictures, both the figures actually look so similar one wouldn't be wrong to assume that they were made by 1 manufacturer. This one has Masane standing with her legs apart and looking over her shoulders. I think Koto were going for 'sensual' here. Although, with her hair transformed into those lethal blades, one wonders how close you can get. Hair colouring seems to be slightly more metallic, but I can't be sure till we get better pictures. This one's a 1/6 scale, about 26cm, and need I say this, HUGE. I want one, but I don't know which one. Considering the very different release dates, I may just buy the 1st one out.
