Shikigami no Shiro 2 Figurine - Niigi Gorgeous Blue

Post by **Icarus** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:28 pm

Those of you who collect figurines might be interested to know that the second of the Shikigami girls is being made into a nice 1/8 scale statue. Niigi

I have Fumiko already and it's very well made, very detailed, a great rendition of the broomriding witch (better than the mini one that comes with the PS2 LE). I hope they do Sayo next, to complete the trio of Shikigami ladies. Animaxis is taking preorders for it, here.

Haha - me too. Still, it's best to be mistaken that way, than the other way around.

Which happens more oft than one would ever like.

Great! So now it's OK for me to think that (s)he is hot :D

For some reason the figurine looks more feminine and hotter than the in-game artworks I've seen...

edit: ........I'm still not 100% convinced it's a girl...

How cute!

I'm also from the initial "is that a... that's a... well of course, it's a... a?" club, but that figure certainly brings out her charming feminine nature and striking sense of style. The recent Fumiko figure is nice, but I have to say that I'm drawn to this one a bit more, though Fumi usually gets more actual... erm... play time?

I was about to say that I agree, but, there are some pretty equally-bad situations with being mistaken in this fashion--Niigi is an attractive tomboy (-ish?) girl, but there are some seriously surly women about. You've also got your drag queens, granted, but... okay, OT timer is going off right now.

(In any case, I'd rather have my Niigi and Cuilan than certain other characters, any day.)

see: BOOBS. they're (somewhat) evident in the statue.

Great. Niigi is my favourite character in Shikigami no Shiro 2 and the figurine looks really nice. I might order this.

Me three, but who cares, now that I know she's a girl, I can finally say she's freakin hot. D:

I just tried using her in the game, and she's clearly a girl. Tell me that a guy would have a female voice. XD

And it's sad really, in the character selection screen, she really DOES look like a guy, so I guess you can say the figure actually looks way more hot than the actual in-game version of the character.

Yeh, I noticed the boobage on the figurine, much less evident in the game :D

Boobs sell figurines.

awesome looking figure, i wish i had the money to blow on it. i also wish i could play better with her...

dai jou bu · Post by **dai jou bu** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 5:52 pm

I also have Fumiko. I might have to get this one as well, since the quality of it does look splendid. But I want Yakumo!

Good Smile Company is starting to become my favorite for sculpted models.

Hobbyfan (where I ordered the R-Type resin kit from) has some nakie Sengoku Blade statues.

Don't know if anyone's interested.

That's all fine and good--if you wanna sell a quatrillion.

Edit: I thought niigi was a boy too

. Figurine niigi > in-game niigi. She's a sexy figurine.

I cannot believe any of you thought Nigi was a male. . . I always thought it was a female.

dai jou bu · Post by **dai jou bu** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:55 pm

I only found out that Nigi was a female when I bought the PS2 blue disc of death version of SnSII and read the manual.

Japanese obsession for disgustingly big boobs: a cultural thing (and the result of very thin local woman with no boobs whatsoever)

Aaaaaanyway

After I played as Niigi in Shikigami no Shiro 2 and saw more than just her face, I realized she was a girl. I actually thought she was a young boy at first.

Pedro Lambrini · Post by **Pedro Lambrini** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 2:44 pm

Just placed an order for her. I didn't realise that these figures existed - now I'm going to have to try and hunt down Fumi...wish me luck!

Mai sucks as a character and would have chest injuries by now if this were real life. Honestly, what the fuck do people do with these things?

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 3:33 pm

My guess is that you really don't wanna know.

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 8:58 am

They're boobs. They're plastic. They'd point inwards if you pushed them hard enough. What's this about me needing to know stuff?

howmuchkeefe · Post by **howmuchkeefe** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 8:16 pm

HA! I knew she was a girl the whole time.

So did I... but only because I mistook her shirt for a ponytail when I saw the cover.

Honestly, what the fuck do people do with these things?

Sometimes... people squeeze them alternately with their armpits in 3/4 time while tunelessly singing along to Ween.

...and usually on Tuesdays. Don't ask me why.

howmuchkeefe · Post by **howmuchkeefe** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 5:24 pm

You do have a point. Why armpits? Why Ween?

So I asked.

"I don't need an excuse! Who are you to judge me?"

...and then I was slapped.

The dude sucks at singing, so that explains the tunelessness.

For those that missed out on the preorders for the Niigi Gorgeous Blue figurine, Animaxis has finally received their stock and is taking regular orders for it now. The link is here.

Got my preorder shipping confirmation this afternoon, so I should be receiving it by the start of next week ^_^ She'll look great stood next to Fumiko.

Now all I need now is Sayo, Arala and Yukari ^_-

EDIT: and dai jou bu, if you're reading this, I got the Tsukamoto Yakumo figurine early this week. Cute ^_^
