HoardingFigures: She had an unfortunate jam & toast incident!
Her eyes are glowing in these photoshopped renders. That shading really looks good, but I wonder how much that will come across in the finished version?
HoardingFigures: Oh, that took me a minute to figure out that one split color is just showing the two options together. I was very confused for a second, lol.
HoardingFigures: I'm always wary of renders that rely too much on special lighting. His head will be in shadow with forward-facing lights (top and bottom), or direct overhead. You could rotate the figure, but that background screams "put this flush at the back of your display".
HoardingFigures: Those early renders with "realistic" hair made me wary, but the more recent solid design where it's solid resin looks so much better! What a great looking piece!
HoardingFigures: Oh no, I misunderstood! Those aren't older concept renders, those are silicone versions. Huh... If it can actually look like that, maybe... but I'd need to see a finished version.
HoardingFigures: I'm confused with that base. Is that yellow coloring paint or an LED? At this price, I doubt it's an LED, since that's additional complexity and cost. So the feet, legs, and tip of his belt are all yellowed in the design?
Stabi: I'm sure it's some sort of lighting, because it would look weird in the light with that kind of paint.

HoardingFigures: I'm not sure about that. If they just stuck a light sphere in Blender (or whatever modeling program), I wouldn't expect those deep orange parts on the wrinkled "cloth" of the belt.
I definitely would need to see a finished version before pulling the trigger on this one. That coloring is so distracting.
HoardingFigures: This might just be my favorite looking Studio Ghibli figure ever. I can't really explain why, it just seems like a perfect piece to add to a Ghibli collection.
I think the bird is a little big, but it's been a while since I've seen the movie to confirm.
Stabi: It feels like some kind of acquired taste... In other words, fetishes. I don't even know where these would fit

HoardingFigures: Ha! Acquired taste!
I dunno... In a hobby that's 90% lewds by volume, these food things almost never are. They fall into the art side of things IMO. I just can't see collecting them, but every time I see a listing, I do think they look cool.
If someone reading this has ordered these, please comment!
HoardingFigures: Oh wow, that's not a render, and it looks great! These are some well-lit and focused pics, so you can see some subtle light from that red ball on the bottom on her dress. It looks glowing - is there an LED in there?
Stabi: Man Cammy is so sexy even without showing a lot. This action figure though has a face a bit stiff imo. In the game her face looks very relaxed normally.
HoardingFigures: I agree, that face looks really off. I even went and looked at some SF6 pics to compare, and it's far more accurate than most silicone figures, but it just seems off to me.
