It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]
Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]
I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
Menace here is one of the most vulgar figures I’ve ever had in my presence. Not something I would have ever bought myself in a million years, again a reason why I’m enjoying getting these samples to review. I would never have reviewed her because I never would have bought her. Yes this review is not safe for work at all!
She has such an adorable face but some melons and just the nastiest looking… hmm how should i put it delicately? Panty area? Cooch? Vaginal place? I’m sorry but in such a pose it’s hard not to stare and it’s not pretty at all!
The huge melons she has are just a little over the top in my opinion. Plus there is almost no coverage especially for a figure collector like me who while I don’t mind cast off figures that show off everything I still like my ladies to be at least slightly modest and cover up a little bit.
I do love the shawl that goes around her shoulders but i did find that it liked to pop of with the slightest movement and it didn’t always maintain it’s alignment so as you see here there are some parts that just pop open and ruin the illusion.
Gosh I’m sorry but this seriously just bothers me. It’s not even the pose, but the sculpt and how little underwear there is. I have my fair share of figures where the underwear is uber exposed down there but never so much as this. Its not even sexy! Well at least I don’t think so, what about you guys? What do you think? Sexy or just too much? Be honest!
If only they came with a version that was much more covered, because otherwise her face is just lovely and so cute! I love the open mouthed smile with just a little bit of teeth showing! But why ruin it with the abundant over-sexuality?
She has an interesting sceptor, I liked the detail and the paint job, it felt like a really well made accessory for her.
Jeeze! These huge Melons are just too much for me!
Again what do you think boys? Also what do you think girls? Too much?
I do like her base, it has one peg and then molds around her heel, I do worry about possible breakage, does anyone own her and have they had an issues?
As mentioned, not a figure I would buy. Heck if someone gave her to me I’d promptly do a giveaway because she’s not a figure I would feel comfortable displaying. I love my figures, I love cast off, I appreciate the female form, but this just seems to go to a point that bothers me so much. I’m not really sure why other than the bottom part and how it’s just too much for my taste. If she’s your type of figure then by all means, She’s well detailed and painted really well. She also does have a very sweet face. But body wise not my cup of tea at all!

Too much… DX I wouldn’t buy at all either. But from the looks of it, she has two headresses? Her accessory does look well detailed, but it’s all just too much!
she is really well detailed and yes two dead dresses, but it doesn’t make up for the >_<
I agree. She is too much. I like her base and her accessory.
yep, the accessories are amazing but the rest is eehhhhh
Well, I probably wouldn’t get it either. What’s weird about the downstairs is that there’s way too much space. I can’t really put it into words but it looks like they stretched her groin wide. I have no idea if things open up down there when the ladies stretch normally. But Queen’s Blade is supposedly ero, so maybe she’s all hot because she’s fighting? Maybe she’s really horny?
well obviously women do stretch normally down there but that’s usually during childbirth, so unless she’s giving birth in such a weird position i don’t think she’s set right
Yeah, don’t really like her, big boobs I’m used too in anime by now but wouldn’t buy this figure, don’t even like her clothing, why wear a shirt if you cut it up just to be able to hang some kind of armor thingy that doesn’t really cover anything?
And yeah, her lower area doesn’t really look nice, even tho shimapan are awesome that’s the wrong way to do it. On another note, love how reviews are just rolling in. ^^ Keep it up
i’m trying to post at least once a day and reviews are what i like the most, i feel that it’s actual content other than maybe just constantly posting figure news and such
Well, that’s Queen’s Blade (which I loved) for ya. Ha! This figure looks pretty cool. I like the boobies, but her cooch (as you put it) *does* look like it’s trying too hard. Honestly, I don’t think this figure was really made for you. More the horny, sweaty, aging *male* otaku. Haha! 🙂
very true, this figure wasn’t made for the female otaku in mind at all compared to some of the figures as of late that many women love to own as well!
I love Menace’s character design. But I passed on this figure thanks to her breasts. They’re just TOO BIG. It’s like they take up half her torso. I’m not bothered by the ‘southern region’, though.
I’ll probably get Amiami’s Menace figure. Nicer pose, nicer face, and the breasts don’t look as absurd.
yes that menace is muc nicer and I’d grab her in a snap compared to this version sadly
Well, you know, some moths ago I fought with myself about getting this Menace or not cause she has everything that I like on a female figurine, beautiful face, hot body, nice colors, great pose, etc. but…
…there was just one point about her that didn’t like even today and that is the sweating underwear down there that makes her a little vulgar even for me, a fan of “huge” details.
I don’t know if it’s good to mention that I have into my main collection the Cattleya Red Version (also from Queen’s Blade and Megahouse) with ultra huge details if you know this one there’s no need for me to explain more. But I think that Cattleya is way more beautiful than Menace.
Now I’m wondering, after annelotte and Menace… are you gonna keep reviewing the same kind of figures? Humm…Dancing-Ecchi-Queen? Huhuhu XD
Greetings.
well with Cattleya the issue is at least she’s covered and while she’s not the figure for most people she does cater to people who like that sort of design, plus it’s interesting to see a bigger women that is still shown as sexy!
I kinda see the QB characters as sort of a catalog of all eroge stereotypes and each of them is very well considered for catering to fans of that type, Menace included. That said, I’m relieved to hear that others don’t care for this type as well. I see a lot of over-ample figures that just seem like caricatures of sexuality but they’re common enough that I sometimes think that my opinion is in the minority.
I’m usually a completist so it bugs me to not have a figure for each QB character but I’ve never particularly cared for Menace’s exaggerated character design so I suspect that’s just an itch will never be scratched. Her outfit is otherwise kinda cute so perhaps there’s some remote hope that maybe, just maybe, a much-deflated version might be released whose nethers don’t scream “free parking”.
oh i love that “free parking!” well I’m seeing images of the AmiAmi version and she looks amazing in comparison, same outfit but she seems much more subdued in comparison!
I hadn’t seen that AmiAmi version until now. Perhaps still a bit on the overdone side but much improved over this one and a super-cute face to boot. Maybe I’ll be able to finally succumb to my completist tendencies if only I can just jump that final Ymir hurdle.
Ymir is kinda cute too
I absolutely agree; Ymir is very cute and I love the black “double wielder” version of her. But, whereas I just think she looks cool, I fear that others would interpret her as loli bait.
I think that a lot of people who already don’t get it think that it’s odd for a grown person to watch “cartoon” and to buy “toys” so, as much as I like her, I hesitate to adopt my own little Ymir on the fear that someone would presume I was doing so for creepy motivations whereas that judgment couldn’t be further from the truth.
I think I’m just tweaked because I’ve heard a lot of anime fans judging fellow fans lately. It defies my silly notion of wanting/expecting fans of similar things to share and get along with one another.
I’ve encountered more people in real life become shocked by figures with large breasts compared to figures with none at all, but in the end even with me not liking menace if i did and i owned her I’d be proud of my liking her and wouldn’t care what anyone else thought. I honestly expected more people to come down and explain to me why this figure is awesome and why they love it but so far I’ve only seeing people agree with me but either way if you want ymir then get her! Don’t let what other’s think stop you!
Thanks for the encouragement. You’re right of course; I shouldn’t avoid Ymir if she’s a truly neat figure. Your added perspective makes it seem goofy to sweat it. Perhaps it should always be about the simple joys of collecting and nothing more.
exactly that! don’t let anyone hold you back on collecting what you truly love!
If you don’t like the figure, and got it free, you should send it to someone who would like it. 😉
Menace is my favorite QB character. It’s well done, obviously. It looks like the sculptor had fun doing her. Pun maybe intended.
It’s definitely a display piece that would start conversations at least!
well she’s a loaner from a friend, who might not be happy with me bashing his figures but he said to be honest and i am ^^
Wow… I really like Menace’s design in the show… but honestly this is a bit to much for me too. I’d be embarrassed if I had this displayed and someone came in and said “What’s this?”
“Umm… it’s a figure… from… a show… yeah… just ignore it.” >_>
Great review though.
see I have figures where they are almost nakked and i show them off, but somehow they are less than this…
Well obviously who ever did the sculpt on this one never hear of the saying that ‘less is more’.
Individually the elements (pose, mico panties, bust size) aren’t too bad, but put them all on the same figure and it just goes way over the top. The Amiami Menace figure looks better then this one, the mico panties are still there but the pose and bust are not as over the top. Giving it a nice overall look.
yes, I’m loving the AmiAmi version much more after seeing it once people mentioned it on this post. She still has that cute face yet the rest of her is subdued and she looks so much better! Less is more!
There’s the lack of modesty I come to expect from Queen’s Blade, also I am a fan of stripes not just in pantsu though >.>
i loved striped undies, i love when at any tme they give them undies that aren’t your basic white
Menace does have a pretty face but that’s all I like about her… I’ve also never really liked her in the QB anime, I found her quite annoying. Her breasts are crotch are way too exagerated imo as well. This figure is obviously targetting the ecchi giant oppai lover male figure collectors. I’d be too embarassed to display this anywhere. I do have some slightly ecchi figures from Witchblade and Ikkitousen for example, but I find them a lot more tasteful than this XD
exactly, i have ecchi figures too! I don’t mind ecchi at all! But this just goes too much for me
I think she’s really well detailed…I don’t know if I would buy her or not,but I love her accessories and colors *-*
seems everyone feels the same way
You made some nice pictures of Menace 😉
but I wouldn’t buy her,too
because the pose is a bit too bold for my taste and I’m no fan of oversized boobs
but if a friend of mine had her at display I would like to take a closer look 😀
thanks, i’m actually really happy with the pictures of her, just not so much with her actual figure
That is quite… vulgar. I am more bothered by her bust than anything else though. What are those? Airbags?
I thought I would be used to these after seeing some of the modified versions you see in figure shops, but it never ceases to amaze me.
Add to that the huge hips and the extremely skinny calves and you got one weird looking figurine. Not to mention I don’t like her face either. She looks dead inside. Like all the implants and botox killed what was left of her person. 😮
And yes… that… string… thing… it looks odd. Something is off!
see even with the huge boobs, i can live with this, but everything else is just…
Each to their own i Guess, but there is just so many things that make me say “DO NOT WANT” about this figure. Prety much nothing that I like. :/ Then again, I always prefered cute figurines over the outrageously skimpy. 😛
yeah same here, i like cuter figures way more
Everything is exposed too much! It shows no modesty at all, for me it is not only not safe for work but also not safe for home environment. What if one of my relatives saw this?
Not really worth it to own, though it is very good in terms of sculpt and coloration!
Great review btw..
yes, my relatives come into my room all the time, sometimes they think Yoko is showing too much, what would they say if they saw Menace?
not that i even really care about what my relatives think, if i did i wouldn’t have this collection at all!
I dont mind ecchi figures because there are some ecchi figures that are great , well painted , and not over done. I wouldnt buy this figure at all. Sure the painting is great but this is too much in my Opinion. Im a girl commenting on this.
I’ve got plenty of ecchi figures too, they can be uber ecchi and still be tasteful!
I agree with you on this.
in the end it just depends on how ecci and at what point is too much for your own comfort
Wow…
While it’s true that I never like Menace design character, I agree that middle and lower region of this version of Menace is too much. >.<
then that’s another reason maybe everyone doesn’t like her much, if you don’t like the character design not much you can do
Nice review as usual! On a side note I think I like her original colors better than this P2 version.
The normal colors have the blue stripes for her Ancient Egyptian shima pan.
Also, her staff is named Setra and talks like a perverted old man. Keep up the great reviews!
yep, the original colors work much better for her than this color scheme
The shall on P-1 version is white in color, so it does hide the seams better. BTW Megahouse QB figures usually were based on the game book version, while amiami’s and griffon’s use the anime version (for Menace, anime version don’t have boobs that large :P)
ahhh that makes so much sense!
I think it depends on why you buy the figure. For me, I suppose that if you’re going to buy a Queen’s Blade figure (particularly a cast-off), you should expect that there may be a vulgar sense of sexuality. If I had money and I was looking for a super-sexy figure I might consider her. I guess some people might want want a figure that’s this ridiculous because it is just so . . . well, ridiculous.
very very true
Ahhh… I suppose it’s meant to be attractive but… It just looks odd… The underwear looks uncomfortable just looking at it.
I don’t mind ecchi figures but, I think I would be embarrassed if someone saw this in my collection. @__@;; This is coming from a girl too…
seems that most girls have the same opinion so far
I sometimes get this crazy idea in my head that I want to buy all the Queen’s Blade figures by MegaHouse. Then I’m sharply reminded why I don’t want to by this figure (or Melona & Cattleya).
Her face looks really nice and her pose is okay. I can live with those huge melons since they are mostly covered… kind of. But then that crotch area just turns me away.
If I ever wanted to get a figure of Menace I would go for the Amiami version, but I’m not all too fussed about this character.
i know exactly what you mean, but then sometimes if you really want to get the whole set you can’t pick and choose!
Oh, she’s most definitely too much! But her face is cute.
if i could move er head to another figure that would be pretty awesome, since i liked her face so much
I wouldn’t buy her either; I don’t buy figures of characters from series I’ve never seen if I can help it. But even if I was a Queen’s Blade fan and liked the character, it’s still a no for me. It’s not so much the amount of skin showing, or even the size of her breasts (at least not that on its own). My problem is just that the anatomy on this is really wonky. Seriously. Especially the crotch shot; that is not how a woman’s crotch works. And what is up with the colors down there? She looks like she has a really bad sunburn between her legs. Ew.
yes, the colors of her legs are a little off! maybe it’s all that time showing off the goods they got a suntan
Actually, I like her the most of the Megahouse Queen’s blade series. She’s really ecchi like the queen’s blades series. Queens’s blade is all about boobs and peaches and so is that figure. And btw. she’s very well detailed like all the megahouse figures, which I really like.The stance is also cool, but yes the crotch is maybe a bit too much, so that you have to check the angle before placing her^^ She’s definitely in my wishlist, but sadly out of stock ><
I actually think she’s super cute! The one thing I love about Queen’s Blade is that while the characters are rather curvy, they are not unrealistically so. The sculptor’s work is quite realistic for that body type, even though the body type itself isn’t all that common.
I think her costume is great, too. There’s an excellent amount of detail, and it’s a really accurate representation of the outfit in the anime.
She is super cute + a very nice body!
Please review Sasaki-san from Native.
This is what happens when models are sculpted by men who have never seen a woman’s genitalia. 😛
