Megahouse is going to release the Brilliant Stage Aisaka Taiga ( 逢坂 大河 ) 1/8 PVC figure from the light novel/manga/anime “ToraDora!” ( とらドラ! ). Will be released in August 2009. Around 170mm tall, 6,800 yen.
You can pre-order her here
When I saw the Taiga and Ami GK in the 83℃ booth in Treasure-Festa, I knew somebody is going to release a PVC version for them, and I ‘m right. The GKs from 83℃ are very nice, but not everyone of them. To me this Taiga is not one of their best releases. Everything looks good except her face. Somehow I think they mess her up. Something just doesn’t seems right to me, maybe her eyes are too big? or maybe her front hair is too thin?

Mmm your probably right…The face isn’t too bad, but it doesn’t really look like Taigas. >.<
It’s definitely something about the eyes and the base stands out way too much. It’s nice, but not for that price.
I’m a big Toradora fan, but I still don’t like this figure.. or maybe I don’t like it because I’m a big fan?
Something about it seems off.. or perhaps there’s things slightly off all over and that makes the whole thing seem nice but off.
hmmm, imo the eyes are way to big and the base looks plain
The eyes literally occupy half the face that the hair doesn’t cover. Plus, the hair is too clumped up together. It could’ve been more ‘flowy’ in the wind or something. Her left side appears to be lacking hair.
