That’s right, the new loli anime Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight has got a new figure announced for its effervescent protagonist, Manabi! That’s bloody fast if you ask me but heck, it’s an awesome figure in any case.

Sculpted by 緋路 (can’t read this lol), Manabi’s on her flying scooter thingy in a totally insane and dynamic pose! It really just screams "Massugu GO!" (GO STRAIGHT, her pet phrase). The face, details, cool vehicle and interesting pile of exhaust fumes all add to the already overflowing energy of this figure.

This 19 cm PVC figure is set for a June 2007 release by Good Smile Company and will retail for 5800 yen. Btw, they are robbing us even more now. 5800 is now like the average price of ONE figure when 3000 yen used to be able to get you one.

And while I have never played Muv Luv, this figure is quite awesome. It’s evil, detailed and scifi. Good enough for me, despite its 5800 yen price tag. Also a June release by GSC, this 1/8 scale figure is sculpted by Abe Takumi,who has done quite a few PVC figures such as GSC’s Eri (phail though). I wouldn’t say she’s good looking but the edgy overthetop scifi feel coupled with the good old katana is alluring.

    I would probably get the manabi one. Maybe even a set when they come up with the other characters.

    Looks mighty unstable though

    The Manabi figure looks even cuter when you scroll down to see the figure below it :]

    Oh god, a Meiya figure. I was going to wait on e2046 to sell one like that pre-painted, lol. I hope HLJ is accepting pre-orders for these soon.

    To tj_han,

    If you buy that Manabi figurine and take pantsu-shots of it, you are a rorikon. Your waifu wouldn’t like it.

    10 points for replicating the hair lighting on the Manabi figure.. minus 10 for not having pudgy enough cheeks though!

    I’ll definitely be grabbing this though.. well, unless they announce a Mikan or Momo in a HAZMAT suit before that.

    Still, it is a really quick turn around, considering all the characters that I am waiting to get the figure treatment :/

    Wow. Don’t we usually have to wait a while before a figure from a show gets released? Nice figure. I might get it just because it’s got a cool pose. The extreme moeness as likely the main reason I didn’t immediately pre-order.

    Gradient hair for the win. That alone makes me tempted to buy the Manabi figure. :3

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.
