OK enough with the complaints, I’ll talk about the actual figurine now.

Meg is from Bakuretsu Tenshi, the super stylish yet substanceless GONZO show which I really like. All she does the WHOLE series is to get captured. She does not ever do anything useful besides motivating the heroine Jo. The Burst Angels team has four people - Jo, Meg, Sei and Amy. Jo is the fighter, Sei is the leader/organiser and Amy is the usual hacker kid. So what is Meg good at? Nothing. At. All. She just gets herself captured, kidnapped, attacked etc every episode so Jo can save her. Her biggest assets are her boobs, which aren’t even the biggest in the show (Sei wins.) But I suppose her character design is still quite cool, especially for this figurine.

Meg sports a neo-Cowboy look with an orange and light blue colour scheme. She has a cheerful face, long brown hair (not long by anime standards, it reaches the top of her butt.) and blue eyes. Meg usually wears a very low-cut orange top which shows her ample bosom, and she does not wear a bra with it so the outlines of her nipples can sometimes be seen in the show. Her skirt’s very short, light blue, striped and even comes with laces at the side. Her legs are somewhat covered with orange leather leggings, sort of cow-boy style. Meg wears brown leather boots and a grey cowboy hat too. On each of her wrists are these watch-like bracelets. Finally, Meg has a sling pouch strapped around her hip. For her makeup I guess.

The figurine set comes with the figurine herself, a white ABS rectangular base and a massive anti-tank gun that consists of two parts, namely the barrel + muzzle brake, and the gun itself.

This is impossible to carry around alone in real life. Much less by a weak, hapless, permanantly captured, busty girl.

It was packaged like this.

Now let’s take a look at the actual figurine.

Meg is in a crouching position, and it looks like she has just fired her gun. In the anime, she only uses this once and she misses her shot, resulting in her getting captured. I was rather disappointed since I watched Burst Angel AFTER I had purchased the Jo figurine and pre-ordered this one. I was really expecting more.

In real life, this is an impossible position to fire anything of that size. But this is the anime world. She is resting on her left leg and twisting her body slightly to her right while keeping her left hand straight and right hand on the trigger. Maybe her back muscles are strong thanks to the constant weight-lifting , if you get what I mean. The gun iis pointed upwards probably due to recoil and she’s looking along a level plane. Her hat is tied to her neck with some black cord. There’s some wind effect too, as her hair is blown backwards by the recoil. She has an Ahoge too.

When attaching the gun to her, I had to first tuck the stock under her arm, then place the grip into her right hand and pull her index finger into the trigger guard. The left hand has a hole for a peg on the gun to be inserted and that provides most of the grip.

She’s looking cool! Guns and girls are everyone’s favourite and GONZO knows that.

She doesn’t carry the same air of menace as Jo. Not at all. Even though her gun is about 10 times the size.

From the right: see her super revealing skirt

From the left

From back-right: Her hair is pretty well done.

From the back: Nice view here.

Meg’s face is perfectly made without any hint of deformity. It even looks better than in the show. She’s smiling her usual happy smile.

Her hair is brown with lots of dark shading to create a full textured 3D effect. While the seamline is pretty obvious, her hairstyle covers it up well. But Jo’s hair was really perfectly done and the seamline was invisible. See, Meg can never be as good as Jo.

A big happy smile to cheer you up! Just don’t look at what she’s holding.

Her eye’s are perfectly made too. Large with lots of detail.

The leggings are very detailed, with dark shading to emphasise creases and there are even metallic rings running down the side of the leggings.

Her sling puch is very detailed too. I tried opening it.

It’s the Abyss. I remember that movie.

Yellow panties are just about the least attractive type. Yellow instantly relates to urine and the iodine disinfectant used during childbirth.

The butt view isn’t so bad. Nice~

Btw the scoring system is in the midst of revamping.

And finally, here are some photos of Jo and her untrustworthy side kick, Meg!

Jo and Meg: The Ace and the Clown

Jo is actually a better design cos her jacket is removable and she also comes with this fashionable scarf.

Jo also sports a tattoo covered sexy back that is not visible here. Meg wins in terms of size though. Boobie and gun size.
