Dengeki Hobby Figure Maniacs Otome Kumi 38
This Taiga is so sexy (and flat)!!!! But too bad she is those stupid Dengeki exclusive. In the Dengeki Hobby Figure Maniacs Otome Kumi 38, they says she is mail-in exclusive, but in fact I find that you can just order her in Dengekiya Hobby Kan without the ordering from in the magazine. As for us who aren’t live in Japan, our best bet is proxy service or third party online store. I wonder if I can find a store that will sell her for a reasonable price.
A picture worth a thousand words
Seems like Dengeki love the flat chest Taiga a lot, this is the third Taiga figure from Dengeki. For some reason they keep changing manufacturer. The first Taiga (Zekkyou Design Swimsuit Ver.) was manufactured by Kotobukiya, the second Taiga was a GK and the manfacturer is unknown to me (not from any of those PVC figure manufacturers that we familiar with), and this China Dress one is from WAVE. I guess it’s not a bad thing for them to keep changing manufacturer as long as they aren’t Taki, lol.
Taiga is Flat?!

I love this figure. So cute and sexy but sadly exclusive. I bought Koto swimsuit version and I think that I will buy thisone too, even if the price willbe not the same with service proxy..
Really cute figure. But I’ve never watched Toradora, so I’m not tempted. 😀
Whoa, this is from Wave!? That doesn’t inspire confidence in me for the final product. I was gonna pass anyway, but knowing that Wave’s the one behind the figure makes me feel better about passing.
lol. Wave is pretty good ^__^. I had many great experience with them. Hope can find the source to order this one
I wasn’t impressed with the pics of their festival Taiga(the white dress and wings). If it wasn’t exclusive I might have ordered, but being exclusive means the price will already be doubled and I don’t think Wave’s quality would be worth it.
(I have Wave’s Lucky Star Beach Queen’s on order so I’m not completely against Wave but the weighing all the factors I don’t think this Taiga will be worth it)
My exact reaction was “YES YES YES– NO!!! What do you mean exclusive?!” :/
Such an adorable, well-made PVC. I wish it weren’t an exclusive, as that narrows my chances/desire to get it a great deal.
She’s so lovely, and I would consider getting her even though I know nothing about Toradora BUT the exclusiveness kills it D:
I like how the figure has done away with the lipstick in the original illustration; it looked weird to me, but the figure manages to make her look young and cute.
Her legs are a tad too long for that body.
MUST HAVE !!!! So cute, and nice pose
