After a surprisingly long wait, popular series Strike Witches is receiving its first full-sized figure based on the TV series’ designs.
This figure of Yoshika Miyafuji in a moment of kemono mimi powered flight, with her legs suitably spread wide apart for our enjoyment, is sure to receive much appreciation from the figure-starved Strike Witches fan base that has had to resort to making their own fanmade figure renditions.
This 1/8 PVC figure by AmiAmi will be given only a limited release – the only guaranteed way to get one’s mecha musume loving hands on it will be via the AmiAmi store itself, although there seems to exist the possibility of sales from other stores “friendly to AmiAmi.”
The sculptor is listed as 絵理子 (Eriko), apparently a newer name in the industry as I have trouble finding past examples of her work.
The figure’s best feature must be its face – this is as perfect a 3D rendition of Yoshika-tan‘s face as I can imagine. Extraordinarily cute.
The hair and kemono-mimi look decent, and the wind-effects on her clothes are a nice touch.
Her Type 99 machine gun certainly looks better from afar than in close-ups, and the Striker Unit looks suitably detailed.
The seam in her hair seen here is quite jarring… the figure is still many months away, but this is listed as the final version of the figure on AmiAmi’s website.
This being a Strike Witches figure, a good view of Yoshika’s not-pantsu is pretty much a requirement. It’s difficult to tell going only by photos, but it seems her mizugi might be a bit on the shiny side.
In this photo the shininess of her mizugi can be more readily appreciated, here highlighting Yoshika’s comely oshiri.
Overall, this is well-done figure version of Yoshika that undoubtedly will become highly sought after by Strike Witches fans, especially when one considers that this 2007 Kadokawa figure of Yoshika based on the OVA character design was all that previously available…
Set for a June 2009 release date, Yoshika Miyafuji (AmiAmi version) will have a retail price of ¥6,650, but pre-orders are being taken for ¥5,977 at the AmiAmi website.
Unfortunately for international buyers, AmiAmi does not ship internationally, which means acquiring this figure will prove to be especially difficult if you are not in Japan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
God I want that so much.
such a cute figure...DO WANT!!!
Paint looks pretty messy on the gun and swimsuit, the shine on the swimsuit doesn't bother me though. The hairseam too is pretty annoying, quite high priced for this level of quality. Abusing the fact that strike witches full-size figurines aren't really on the market yet?
I'll stick to my mecha-musume Mig60 fig for now ;)
Uwaaaah... stupid limited run... such a pretty figure.... even with the... wide-open-ness of the pose lol.
For some reason I was always under the impression sukumizugi were meant to be shiney... not sure why... as most swimsuits arn't shiney... not untill they're wet at any rate lol.
Still want this figure. Slightly prefer the face on this one to the face of the new Alter.
Awesome, but I wish the Striker Unit was removable. That's what stopping me from spending the big bucks on this baby.
Had a feeling a fig from that infamous image would be made.
But gimme Perrine and Sanya~
That image made into a fig would be so awesome, maybe a resin kit will appear of it one day.
Marvelous... except for the thing with the hair. That's just dismaying.
really nice figure.. :( looks like it'd b hard to get one though
It's too bad Yoshika-tan is going to be so exclusive, because I'd definitely buy her as soon as I got the chance.
DO WANT!
Awesome. Am so going to save up some paychecks for this.

If everyone's got some extra dough and really wants this figure, I suggest going to one of the various agents like:
