Giant Izumi Konata Figure Promises Hidden Delights

giant-izumi-konata-figure.jpg

This rather large, and also rather appealing, figure version of Lucky Star‘s erstwhile otaku protagonist Izumi Konata is due to go on sale in June, but has already attracted some attention due not only its size, but also its reclothability (or perhaps declothability)…

MikuMiku Kagami Nendoroid Figure

10082602a4.jpg

Pre-orders for the Nendoroid version of Kagami cosplaying as Hatsune Miku, known as MikuMiku Kagami and showcased at Comiket 75, have recently opened.

Like all Nendoroids, it comes with numerous interchangeable limbs to allow different poses should you prefer the presence of leeks, or even wish to filch parts from other Nendoroids.

Kagamiku, as she is often known, is of course popular both from her appearance in the Lucky Star OVA, and from her numerous appearances in fanart.

Lucky Star Kagami Ita-Porsche

kagami_hiiragi_ita-porsche_01.jpg

In another memorable Akihabara itasha sighting, photos of a Porsche given the ita treatment have surfaced, with the subject being Lucky Star’s famous tsundere, Kagami Hiiragi.

Owners of itasha tend towards more expensive and sporty cars for use, much as a painter would prefer to use a high quality canvas for his artwork, but going as far as using a Porsche is certainly beyond the norm…

The Bikini Accident of Suzumiya Haruhi

haruhi-bikini-003.jpg

The bizarre saga surrounding Aya Hirano’s upside down bikini fashion statement, or Aya Style as it has come to be known, will not easily be laid to rest; now we hear of yet another twist, in the form of this cap showing Haruhi (voiced by Aya Hirano prior to her becoming a bikini idol) cameoing in episode 20 of Lucky Star (where Konata also happens to be voiced by same).

Agreeably close examination reveals that the bikini Haruhi here sports bears no small resemblance to that characteristic of Aya Hirano’s elevated fashion sense (or excessive obedience).

Make up your own minds below:

Micro-Miko Tsukasa Figure

A fan has either made this incredibly tiny, yet recognisable, miko Hiiragi Tsukasa micro-figure, or as 2ch would have it, he has made an enormous ¥100 coin. Either would be quite impressive.

Washinomiya, the real life location of Lucky Star‘s Kagami and Tsukasa‘s family shrine, received a flock of otaku pilgrims celebrating the Japanese New Years tradition of hatsumoude – visiting a shrine/temple on Jan. 1.

Good Smile Company, maker of Nendoroids and Figma, took the opportunity to join in by releasing limited edition Miko cosplay Nendoroids of the 4 main girls at the gathering, the latest of many such events to happen at the small town since Lucky Star turned it into a moe version of Mecca for otaku.

Good Smile Company, famously known for their Nendoroid and Figma figures, have released the line-up of what their Comiket 75 booth will contain.

GSC is far from the only otaku-related company to have a Comiket booth and Comiket-exclusive merchandise, but Mika-tan (a GSC employee) has provided a good amount of photos of said goods on her personal blog…

“Real” Konata and Kagami

1229259628100.jpg

This especially skillful reimagining of Lucky Star‘s Konata and Kagami in so-called リアル / “real” style is interesting to look at, as it manages to inject some elements of reality into the art while still keeping at least some of the 2D idols’ anime-style beauty intact.
