Air Gear PVC Babes

Megahouse, famous for it's Gundam heroine figures mostly, are producing two figures of characters from the ongoing anime Air Gear. The girls in question are Noyamano Ringo, the girl who likes Ikki, and Simca, or Tsubame no Shimuka, leader of Genesis. While Ringo is 'sexi-fied' slightly, both the figures bear good likenesses to their anime counterparts, although Shimuka may pose a little niggle.

Ringo is sculpted in a 'sitting down' pose, wearing a pink bikini and her red Air Trecks (AT). From the pictures, it would appear that she has interchangeable glasses, a normal one and an even goofier looking red-framed one. The figure measures in at about 20cm, so I guess it's about a 1/8 scale. She looks very nice, though I would have preferred her with a little more clothes on. Hmm, I seem to find prettily clothed girls more attractive than semi-nude ones. How fascinating. Lol. She's carrying a tray of fast food, sorta like your everyday parking-lot roller-blading, food delivery chick. Comes out in September. ^^

Name: Ringo 1/8 scale PVC

I love Shimuka in Air Gear. That's why I feel her features deviate somewhat from what she looks like in the anime. It isn't an ugly figure, but if you've seen the show you may have some strong words to say, heh. The eyes a little too big? She comes with her trademark hat, her green ATs, and even that black bag thingy she carries. The hat comes off, so that's a nice gimmick. But, I can't get over the face. =( Love the hair tho'. Well, some people may like it. And at 4200 Yen, it's not overly pricey.

yeah there is something a little off with Simca's face.. maybe just the expression. She doesn't look coy enough

I'm more of a Ringo fan anyway (well, from a character design standpoint)

Simca's face is weird. =(
I can't really put my finger on it...though I still think the eyes and the expression are slightly off.
