Perhaps the cutest addition to Wave’s XX-Chromosome series is the Mineism of the cosmic 10th angel Sahaqiel. 
Here Sahaqiel’s colossal form has been magically reduced to a pretty petite dressed in pyjamas! The trailing extremities of her cosy costume and turned in toes give her the appearance of a posing kigurumi gal. Wave’s work is small but perfectly formed in this ingenious fusion of space invader and street fashion. Sahaqiel is from head to toe and eye to every eye utterly adorable. 
Oh Novia! From Fewture models comes the seductive queen of the majong tiles from Taisen Hot Gimmick 3: Digital Surfing. My Yoshizaki Mine habit resurfaces with this sumptuous release that possesses all the luscious trademarks of his iconic style.
This post is a dedicated to a melancholy moe ~ to an exquisite duet of unrequited love from Keroro Gunsou! For all the innumerable joy that comprises the series, it possesses one key facet that I find utterly irresistible DOOMED ROMANCE! Yes! It is the endless longing of a war torn soldier for his barbarous goddess that ignites the fires in my heart. Of the hardened Giroro Gochou for the volatile Hinata Natusmi, that impossible, implausible and hopelessly ludicrous alignment of romantic potentials… Kya!!!
Here Mega House’s Hinata Natsumi is equipped with a flight pack – a gadget from Kururu’s lab. She ascends angelically, a tranquil pose that accentuates the freshness of her adolescent beauty. Her pigtails and skirt flutter delicately, caught in the motion of the air as she hovers above the ground. It is a divine composition, presenting a rare but delightful aspect of the fiery Natsumi.
Here I have paired the piece with Kaiyodo’s Giroro Gochou who is iconically arranged with heavy artillery to defend his warriors’s pride (and the object of his forbidden desires). Giroro is one of my all time favourite characters, so wonderfully proud whilst irresistibly flawed his face is embellished with the motif of the conflicted warrior. He's grade A bishonen material, all for the minor point that he's a pint sized amphibian. Not as if that impedes the fact that I harbour a massive crush on him... Yappari, Giroro ga suki
C3 x Hobby idols of darkness & light Hobby Devil & Hobby-chan present a fan culture face off in a pair of releases from Sol International. This double entrée of delights is hardcore fanfare for the Yoshizaki Mine fanatic. Mine-sensei’s girls are the official mascots of the C3 x Hobby festival – a formidable fusion of mecha and moe.
These models, no doubt owing to the sensibilities of their designer, are hefty for their 1/7 scale and were comparatively expensive, presumably due to their super niche appeal. They certainly lack the smoothness and sophistication of a Good Smile or Alter production but all the same, there’s something so irresistibly otaku-kitsch about them! Sweet as a strawberry parfait Hobby-chan is replete with frills and combat amour whilst the winged Hobby-Devil packs heavy artillery from the dark side. This dynamic duo were truly made to be together! Ambitious contrasting sculpts that climatically combine in the glorious harmony of their poses and interchangeable regalia.
Pojito! Purun~purun in peachy pink, the perfect companion to perk up your persocom, Mine-sensei returns with the second rendition of the OS Idol Win-chan!
She is everything a Dynamite Mama should be! Strong, firm and full of joy! I adore her, the apparent simplicity of pose cannot diminish how is rich with detail she is, possessing some intangible warmth that makes her wonderfully sexy and so Hinata Aki.
More from the Yoshizaki Mine collection with the delightfully frothy, frilly, chantilly baby Himekuri image girl Moda Bianca. One of three colour variants and my personal favourite, the white cloth version is cute and creamy and just that little bit more loli-licious in the paler attire. Kaiyodo have done a fabulous job and I tend to enjoy pieces that are complete without a base, Himekuri being a fine example. In her seated position her skirt folds into luxurious pool, which she raises in a coquettish manner belying the innocence of her expression. 
But then, so does the costume itself, with collars and garters topped off with lacy neko mini and with what would appear to be puffed rubber stocking tops, sleeves and brassiere she is nothing short of a fetishistic fondant fancy.
From the second invasion of Mega House Keroro Gunsou figures descend the Mystic Heroines featuring the unearthly delights of the harbinger of doom Angol Mois. Mois-dono is presented in all her groundbreaking glory, complete with earth destroying staff and puffy panties.
Precarious but perfectly rounded, Mois-dono’s costume is impressively and skilfully rendered in 3D, right down to the hoop that links from her cloak and encircles her chest. It’s with releases like this that Mega House demonstrate the sophistication of their work.
Nin! Dororo Heichou de gozaru! As a Yoshizaki Mine fan it's only natural that I love Keroro Gunsou and dear forgotten Dororo is a character with whom I truly empathise (^_^);; Yes, I even have a trauma switch!
I make my debut with little Lilith, originally released in March 2006 by Wave. She's part of the XX-Chromosome Evangelion Angel series designed by Yoshizaki Mine of the Capcom/Keroro Gunsou fame. Mine-sensei's work has irresistble allure and I find the purun-purun roundness of his designs lend themselves perfectly to 3D. This figure series has that tasty indulgent quality, much like a good doujinshi, of stretching an original concept to kawaii highs, that say -what the hell, this is heaven!
