Folks who are not offended by stone eyes but do take offense at plastic eyes then purezu turn back nao.

But if you are like me and lurve plastic eyes then continue to feast your mince pies on this gorgeous Good Smile figure of Chu Chu Astram.
Simply gorgeous. The paintwork, sculpt perfectly captures the moe smexyness of Chu Chu.
By default, her top is so thin that her the pupil of her eyes show through so folks who work at Kindergartens may have difficulty in displaying this due to conservative parents.
Chu Chu comes with a big flexible bat that does its best (and fails) to cover her lower private parts.
You can find other reviews at moetotsugeki and Happy Soda - cant remember the other reviews at the moment but if you have a photo review then please do post a link in the comments to help your fellow comrade decide on a purchase.
The bat kinda gets in the way so I pose her without it ^^;
I would imagine that going for a poo in this outfit would be very convenient indeedee.
Hmmm, maybe that's the real purpose of the bat - she uses the bats wings to wipe her bottom.
Any folks here who would like to be that bat?
One of these in the wallpaper pool.
And now for whats known as "Supponpon" [すっぽんぽん] photos which means "in birthday suit."
OK, shes not completely in B'day suit because shes a bit shy.
The code for the nosebleed function still works but that requires a lot of manual work. I wanted to have new automated functionality up for today but was working on Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud instead.

We were going to have a bunch of physical servers but then discovered that it makes so much sense to run virtualized servers in the cloud. We can spawn instances of a new server within seconds to handle traffic.
Very nice pair of eyes indeed. Which brings me to the question of the day. Previously, Moeyo asked its readers how they display their figures - cast on or cast off.
Most users answered "cast on."
The only figure I have casted off right now is Chu Chu and that's because I was playing around with her just now - she was cast on before that.

My Char Rhouseman is fully dressed but my Nida Schuetlich and Rize are in battle damaged mode. My Melissa Seraphy is constantly in her pantsu ^^;
So hows about you? Your figures displayed casted on or off?
For folks who felt like seeing Nida's real eyes.
Fauna gets bigger eyes.
Airi gets a share of the fun too.
Melissa and Chu Chu cuddle up - both by the illustrator Ozawa Akifumi.

If you are looking to order then try looking on one of dannychoo.com's trusted online partners. Just in case you have been wondering about these partners - they are online stores who I have accepted to be sponsors. I get many offers from sponsors but only accept dealers that can be trusted (through research) and know that they don't sell bootlegs.
Its not worth accepting sponsorship from dealers who are out there to rip off customers.
Caption that photo ^^;

Oh, and about those Shuraki figures:

(a) Char's hair leans downwards, it's too heavy
(b) The peg on Rize's left foot will break off if you leave her billowing pale blue skirt on. It's simply too heavy. 

I swear never to get another Shuraki figure again.

Back to Chu Chu Astram, she has good details. Her pose and face are nicely done and the base with the bat design is a refreshing touch as well. The bat that clings to her has a thousand and one possibilities if you pose it with your other figures. You can even create devil Miku by draping it behind the nendoroid figure (idea courtesy from GSC Mikatan's blog). I leave her cast-on, she's more sexy with the translucent blouse.

I also look forward to Alter's Chua Churam as well.

Cast on for me - some figures can look a little too...blatant...to me with the cast off option.  Subtle is not a bad thing! :P

It's a very nice figure, cast-on or -off she cuts a very nice silhouette.  I'm hoping that it holds up well--it's very top-heavy and puts a fair amount of stress on the base connection, so I won't be surprised to see some leaning eventually.  It took me a solid half-hour of molding and remolding the demon's arms before I got it into a pose I was completely satisfied with.  The material it's made out of is great, though, as it hasn't given way at all and is firmly in place the way I left it.  All in all a very interesting and fun occult piece!

Damn, Melissa and Chuchu together. Too hot. I have to say I would love to get this figure, but alas, she's so obviously kinky that me mom would never look me in the eye (real eye, thank you) again. That's also why I have all figures cast on, although I was doubting to do Narika without pants, but decided not to in the end.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that Melissa Seraphy figure's been out since early 2007...it's a bit of a rare find (I could only find a couple on eBay) but she is out there to be had.  The top's not cast-off but she's a fun little piece.

I really didn't like this figure because its too ecchi to display around and I didn't like the overall look.  BUt I have to agree, the sculpting and painting is top notch.  

Didn't know Nida can be cast off. heheh!

Sometimes it's such a dillema with the nice clothes... but the sexiness underneath mostly wins for me.

#1 cast-on, #2 damaged, #3 cast-off I think cast-on is more sexy because you have to use your imagination. Then you can still look how it really is if you feel like it.
