Media Factory is going to release the Stained series No.02 Shinonono Hoki ( 篠ノ之箒 ) 1/10 PVC figure from the light novel/anime “IS (Infinite Stratos)” ( IS〈インフィニット・ストラトス〉 ). Will be released in March 2011. Around 160mm tall, 3,800 yen.
Today we have 3 figures news from Media Factory, two are PVC figure and the other one is trading figure. Seems like Media Factory finally learnt it. Last time when they announced the Isurugi Mio PVC figure and the MM! trading figures, they announced them 1 month before the MM! anime started. Not many people knew about MM! at that time so the pre-order was pretty bad. So this time they waited for the anime acutally started for 2 weeks before making their announcement.
This Shinonono Hoki and Satellizer L. Bridgette are the 2nd and 3rd figure from the Media Factory Stained series. They’re also the 2nd and 3rd PVC figure that will be released Media Factory. Judging from the final product of their first Isurugi Mio PVC figure, their quality isn’t really good. The paint job is plain and the molding is just so-so. Just a bit better than the SEGA trading figure. But it’s pretty good for a new figure manufacturer and I believe they can improve it next time. =]

Personally, I think her pose looks shitty. No offense intended towards the sculptor or the manufacturer – it’s far from a poorly MADE figure, it’s just…. I find no appeal whatsoever in the pose itself, so I’m turned off the actual figure.
Pose is more like, I’m tired from work/school/life and I need a bath…. it’s like starting at tofu… but with breasts…. if u know what i mean….
her pose is pretty bleh.. it looks like shes in the early stages of getting a hump back.
That open mouth face makes her look like an idiot. Which she is not. Serious face is much better.
