This Guilty Gear Statue Will Make You Dizzy

@the7k: Why would Capcom refuse to acknowledge Darkstalkers (aka Vampire Savior in Japan)?

@SanaEquiesterer: Or maybe that's because Shadow Rise (the one in the bikini) has bigger boobs and a more womanly physique due to the viewer's desire for her to "reveal it all" on TV.

Haha, nah. And um, spoiler alert.

@mordennight: Possessed non-evil android. One wing is an angel, one wing is a devil, and the tail has a mouth.

She can shoot giant lasers.

6, 12 and 20 years of age in Japanese characters is totally irrelevant if you're bringing a western mentality to the table..

@xyzl:

Agreed, I'd also like to see a statue of her in the taunt pose, with her wings yelling at each other.

@Masume: If that's true, I hate kotaku for making me aware of it's existence. :(

Danved

@Archaotic: In anime land you are mature and getting old at 25. Kind like 100 years before world war 1. When age 50 amazing.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: or send her my way, WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

Mad-Hobo

Wait, isn't this a Hobby Japan magazine exclusive? Last I heard, you had to get a particular issue and send a ticket in to even get her.

Masume

...looks cast-offable. Being QG, it's a high possibility. Not that I would know anything about that. >,>

Masume

@Decoy_Doctorpus: Never. I'm talking about anime 12 year olds.

People sure do find it hard to understand relativity around these parts.

Hnnnng...

@the7k:

When was the last time you saw a 12 year old (or a six year old for that matter) with eyes the size of dishplates and light reflections so large it looks like she's staring directly into the sun from about 20 feet away?

@PoweredByHentai: Preachin' to the choir. I know it's from Cross Edge, but it is also one of the most recent versions of Morrigan, considering Capcom flat out refuses to acknowledge Darkstalkers.

She looks equally "Red-Light District" in Namco X Capcom, if that's any consolation.

@Psychopathic Assassin: I was about the mention that too, Japanese women usually look younger than American women of the same age.

Mad-Hobo

@the7k: I KNOW! RIGHT!? haha ha... (sigh)

Mad-Hobo

WANT.

@mordennight: In the series she's a gear, like a man made living weapon.

@Archaotic: Since these figures are released by different manufacturers, you're going to get different sculpts between them. Take for example the two different Rise Kujikawa figures that are being released:

[www.1999.co.jp]

So this is just one interpretation of Dizzy, but you probably already got the idea from the7k's post.

SanaEquiesterer

looks cool, but what is she? Angel wings and a dragon like tail? huh?

mordennight

@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: They should just make a whole toyline with her. Between 6P, dolphins and pink whales, I just can't decide T_T

@cyberrat101: 6P is cute, but I'd rather see her riding a dolphin.

@the7k: That Morrigan image that you posted is from Cross Edge. I'm only saying that it's from Cross Edge because of the style:
[nisamerica.com]

Click on the Characters tab and load up Morrigan's profile. It's the exact same image.

@Mister Jack does BIG SOVIET DAMAGE: Queen's Gate is essentially a pin-up series where they take certain characters from other franchises and put them through various poses.

@Archaotic: Believe it or not, we americans do the same thing. We make certain unmentionable body parts of females to look like younger. And women use make up and other things to help exaggerate eyes and hide other things to make them look younger. What I see with the 12 year old face anime eyes and 20 year old body is them just trying to make her face look cute and innocent. They are not trying to make her look 12 because of some sick obssesion of 12 year olds. I hate when people constently bag on a country and their culture for one thing when we ourselves do the same or similar.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that I have seen many Japanese girls who do in fact look way younger in the face.

@Archaotic:

kitsuneconundrum

If it's Dizzy, she needs her wing's unleashed for the figure to look awesome. I won't get any Dizzy figures unless they do that!

xyzl

@Archaotic: I'd actually buy it if her boobs were smaller and her ass wasn't so..obvious.

I want to display an art peice, not somethign so masturbate too.

TheVegetarianBurgerKing

Now give us a May figurine! Possibly in the 6P position.

@Mister Jack does BIG SOVIET DAMAGE: My bet is the Queen's Gate version has slightly larger breasts, and her bottom doesn't have a back. I mean, just by looking at that image.

Danved

@Rachel Fogg: Compared to what it isn't. I have browsed many an anime figure, and very very few have even come close to meeting my standards.

Danved

@Danved:

It really isn't but it will sell because it's a Queen's Blade/Gate figure.

Rachel Fogg

Jesus christ, I would pay the idiotic price they'll be charging for this if it wasn't based on the Queen's Gate version. This is pretty much a really good figure of Dizzy aside from that. :(

Danved

@the7k: Yeah, I was going by her profile art from GGXX, since that's the one shown most often. In that, she looks like she's in her early 20s, which is essentially what the story says she's supposed to look like.

The figure just takes her normal body and plops an "anime girl" head on top of it, which at least to me looks REALLY out of place. But whatever, no use getting into an argument over something silly like this, right? I should really be in bed anyway.

@Archaotic: I dunno, I'm looking at the GGX artbook right now, and I'm not seeing anything that is glaringly different from the original art.

She does look younger, but honestly, every piece of official art draws her completely different. In one she looks like she came right out of a harem anime, ([creativeuncut.com]) and in another she looks like she'd fit right into an American comic book. ([creativeuncut.com]). In one pic she looks like a young woman ([creativeuncut.com]), and in another she looks like she's significantly older ([creativeuncut.com]).

There really is no consistency in Guilty Gear's artstyle. I remember this being an issue with Bridget. Bridget looks convincingly like a girl in most art ([creativeuncut.com]), but then that profile picture makes the "Bridget is a dude" deal a whole lot more believable ([creativeuncut.com]).

@Liptons: Yeah, I guess I should have realized that this is totally a look becoming of a sophisticated lady.

It's not like I hate Morrigan - she's got a great character design and it totally fits her nature (a nature which involves jumping the bones of anything roughly humanoid to keep on living). I'm just not a huge fan of 'sexpot' characters.

@Mister Jack does BIG SOVIET DAMAGE:

My best bet is the QG Dizzy is less powerful and more prone to clothes dissolving acid attacks and random tenty fondling.

Whereas DD Dizzy would simply obliterate them to ashes.

Basically, QG versions of video game gals is just turning them into ecchi bait/hentai maybes. The standard stuff because let's face it, Dizzy will MURDER everyone in that cast.

Rachel Fogg

@Mister Jack does BIG SOVIET DAMAGE:

According to google Queens Gate uses the Dizzy from Guilty Gear.

SubGnosis

@Archaotic: One theory could be that some people (maybe some Japanese otaku) are more attracted to younger looking characters. Younger looking to them could mean more innocent and more pure. Just a theory though.

puresewas1de

What's the difference between GG Dizzy and Queen Gate Dizzy? Unless I'm missing something, they look the same to me.

@the7k:

I know...that was hard, I gave up. But I like I-no, I can't figure it out but she's cool.

But I love my Dizzy, the most adorable hottest 6 year old in existence.

:hears the cops:

:runs:

Rachel Fogg

I like how this links to "Mommy Dearest: The Best and Worst Mothers in Video Games."

Liptons

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Apparently with how hung up Arch is with "kids" and all that shit its a good guess that he does.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I have seen...things...the likes of which mortal men fear to dream. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

@Archaotic:

Honestly, I prefer the little girl faced Terra then the 'sleepy faced' Terra Amano gives to...all of his characters but that's just me.

As for Dizzy, chalk it up to well, 'nothing new here'. They've been giving chicks 20 years old bodies with 5 year old faces for years.

It's like complaining about odd haircolour now in anime design, it just....comes with the territory. Granted there's some anime artists that actually TRY to change it up but for the most part, this is the way things are.

Rachel Fogg

so uhh, what the fuck?

@Archaotic: Do you honestly know a 6 year old with a face like this?

Kill it with fire.

I'm kinda curious as to whether there even is a back to those panties. There are thongs, then there're the Spencer's sex clothes.

Liptons

@the7k: Morrigan is not slutty, shes sophistically attractive.

Liptons

@the7k: Right. Dizzy's supposed to look like a fully mature adult though, that's half the point of her character.

Giving her a generic "anime little girl" face is just...bleh. It's just creepy. They did the same thing with Terra in Dissidia; her initial character art looked one way, then about two weeks before release they "redrew" her to give her a fatter, rounder, younger-looking face. Or the way they redesigned Rena in the PSP version of Star Ocean 2 to make her look about 10 compared to the obvious 17 she looked like in the original game. Which made the love story between her and Claude INCREDIBLY awkward.

I just don't see what the point is of this trend to "youngify" every girl in Japanese gaming. Next we're gonna see Lightning in the final version of FFXIII with GIANT dishplate eyes.

@Archaotic: I'd say that's more like the face of a 12-year-old, but meh. Subjective Interpretation is Subjective.

I would imagine that making her look more mature would mean giving her narrow-eyes and a bigger nose, which in my opinion would just make her look Morrigan-caliber slutty. I prefer cuties over sluts.

At least according to the story, she is actually about 6 years old or something. She was an infant only 3 years before the events of Guilty Gear X.

WTF? Is she taking a shit?

Anyone else wants some buns? I feel like having some buns. I'm going to go get some buns tomorrow.
I don't think I'll need milk though for some reason.
Or a plate for that matter :/

Gotta love the gratuitous underboob and butt shot in the last picture.

Just realized I don't have a GG related figure. I remember coming across an I-No at a local comic book shop, but I hate that bitch. Trying to get Dizzy's Good Ending would make anyone hate I-No.

The thing that creeps me most out about this thing is how they've effectively given her the body of a 20-year-old (okay, a 20-year-old half-cyborg monster with huge tits, but whatever)...and the face of a 6-year-old.

Seriously, Japan. How the hell is that attractive? I just don't get it. I honestly don't.
