Figurine News: Suzuka PVC Figurine Set for June Release

Published by tj_han March 23rd, 2006

I know this is a bit late (a week), but for those who have not heard, Suzuka, the female lead of the eponymous series, is being released as a PVC figurine by Popy.

Suzuka will be the first of a new line of figurines, called the B-club Pure, by Popy. The figurine recreates in 3D, the pose Suzuka makes on the cover of the first volume of the Suzuka manga. Obviously, the manga character design is used here, rather than the anime one.

Differences are mainly the hair colour (blue instead of black) and facial proportions.

This figurine will not be produced in large numbers apparently, so those who want it had better order it quick. Personally, I’m still undecided. The truth is, I do not like blue hair AT ALL. The wind-blown uniform is a nice touch, as is the dynamic reaching out pose. I also like Suzuka as a character. But blue hair is just a tough barrier to break down. If it were the anime design, I probably would’ve pre-ordered straightaway. The scale sucks too, it’s about 1/10, though not stated explicitly.

For June, I’m already ordering Dark Saber, Eri and Primula.

OMFG I can’t believe you actually posted this hideous figurine up… JH I thought you had better taste.

If you can look past the poor resolution of the picture, it is actually a decent figurine.

I’ve ordered Eri too, I’m not sure if I’ll go for Dark Saber though since her normal form is so nice. As for Suzuka, I don’t think the figure looks terrible but I’m not tempted to order it. I must admit I prefer her anime design.

I prefer Dark Saber to her normal form. Blue and gold colour schemes are just so common and boring. I actually sold my 1/6 Clayz Saber.

That Swimsuit Maid Sasara is extremely hot! I really hope it comes out in PVC.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
