Up Close And Very Personal With Beatmania’s Celica

@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta:
I don't know, I just bought that Iroha figure while I was in Japan a week ago, and it looks lovely to me...

@Kaka Kittens: CAT EARS ARE AMAZING!

Mad-Hobo

@Diyomaro: The cat ears are attached to the headphones. So it's a 2-in-1 combo headset.

I'd get it... Not at $50+... Nor would I expect the final release to look like anything better.

@Diyomaro: Yes, she does.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could find one anywhere to purchase.

Squibbons

Wait a minute...

Does she have human ears as well? If not, how the hell is she listening to those headphones?

Diyomaro

very very tempting.. however i cannot access the website to further examine her due to it crashing =/

@KylenX: If you go to Bemanistyle on the Trading/Marketplace forum, there's a guy that will buy them and ship them to you

@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Oops, I meant to say "the Celica figure looks great". Not this Iroha figure.

My Celica will be arriving next week pre-ordered it back in July with the Tokyohunter.

The pic below is of Candy Rabbit I'm pretty sure that one has already been sold and out of stock. it was released back in 2007 in OCT. In case you are interested here is the Play Asia sale page:

This figure looks great!. Too bad it's a demo. We all the consumer releases won't look nearly half as good. I held off on the Lilith figure because my lovely Iroha turned out....LESS than lovely.

Fool me once, shame on you, Konami.

Let's just say that you're not gonna fool me again.

Too much awesome for one server to handle :(

@Kaka Kittens: Oh yeah, there's also my vow to never buy anymore of those godamned PVC models ever again. I've tried very hard to swear them off.

@andrewwyatt:

Yeah, it might seem kind of prudish, but I prefer girls in tight jeans or something over a miniskirt or panties. There's something to be said about a girl that still leaves something to my imagination.

I remember when she looked like a cool DJ in 3rd style before they decided to anime her all out in 6th+

@the7k: yeah, I laughed for about 2 minutes... good stuff...

@djricekcn: I just tried himeyashop, but alas, no finds.

Konamistyle, huh?? Hmm... Well, I went there, but the USA site is down, and I really can't read Japanese.... at all... Just english and spanish... :(

Any other recommended sites??

I've tried play-asia but they don't even have a price for it... And there was this other site that was selling them for around $110. I thought it was ludicrous...

@PeachPurin: If you follow the link, you'll see it's all QUITE removeable.

@Kaka Kittens: Wait, the lack of pants is why you *don't* want to buy it?

'///_///'

My, those are some saucy pictures after that jump.

@maschinerie: That is beyond creepy. Yay! Detachable arms!

'...comes with different sets of arms in various poses.'

Seriously? I'm the only one who found this creepy?

maschinerie

wtb..NAO!!!

@orijimi: How do you know Toyota doesn't make this?

"Not to everyone's tastes, but then again, not everyone likes milk in their tea or butter on their bread. Different strokes, folks!"
I see what you did there.

How to order for U.S.?

Realmjumper

@KylenX: Konamistyle or you can go to himeyashop and special order it. Their prices are reasonable because they include japan to usa shipping cost in it.

djricekcn

@(Survivor) Blyr: lol, yeah, I figured that this was an unintentional pun. Funny, none the less.

Yay Just in time! i think im gonna go to Den Den this week ang this new one since i am collecting those BM figures.

SsLordMagus

I must say, I'm somewhat tempted, but the lack of pants and cat ears really kill it for me.

@Dope Boy Hero: Chun Li has started a trend.

That outfit is all kinds of crazy, it's kinda cool.

@(Survivor) Blyr: ^_^

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these???

Hahaha, I'm a big fan of Beatmania and I've kind of been awaiting this doll since Bash first posted her a while back.

@Dope Boy Hero: Yay maybe my chunky thighs aren't so awful after all :D

lineypi

I hope it's removable...

PeachPurin

...That was the most epic unintentional pun I ever made.

I seriously didn't think about it until just this second, when I saw your replies.... >___>;;

(Survivor) Blyr

Aww, she's so cute. I'd actually buy this statue since it's beautiful and does not make a hole in my wallet =]

...doubt I can get one now though.

@Steinin: Japan's culture can be quite...divergent from that of the West.

So yeah, Japanese dudes, and Westerners who have enough exposure to Japanese stuff to have developed the same tastes.

nworobes

I'm noticing a trend with chicks like her and thick legs

I've never bought one of these dolls, never even seen them at a friend's place throughout my whole life. Who buys these things?

Steinin

@ballistic3188: It is the ultimate weapon to subconsiously get us to grab our wallets and make us believe it is the right/best purchase.
...
"I'd like 3 please"

I don't know anything about her, but in the posters I see at arcades here in Tokyo she looks more like a disaffected hipster chick than a blushing cutesy moe clone.

I much prefer the poster version. Better fashion sense too.

Scottaholic

@(Survivor) Blyr: Yeah, you'd shoot all over her...

and miss!

@(Survivor) Blyr: I would stick it up my ass while I masturbated.

TarnishedReputation

@ballistic3188: Knee high stockings, scene kid clothes, boots, garter, stripped pantsu . . . Might be missing a couple. Also, the cat ears are on the headphones and not actual cat ears . . . Not that it matters, but still.

Kanji08

That's the creepiest thing I've ever seen. I can't sleep now. Thanks

Adhominem

Very cute. If I had the money, I'd splurge on it.

(Survivor) Blyr

Lets see it is twin pigtail Cat girl. with a miniskirt and and she is has busting out top. with the moe blush.

hmm so that statue has a 5 fetish staple count.

missed the potential for a Zettai Ryouiki though

anyone see some more fetish staples?

ballistic3188

Pink shimapan? Really? WHERE ARE MY BLUE STRIPE PANTSU!?

Revenge_of_Nekojin

The only new Celica I want to hear about would manufactured by Toyota.

orijimi

It's definitely the best of their absurd fanservice figures, but I'm happy with my normal Celica who was also the best of the normal line of figures. I don't know how they managed to mess up Tsugaru as bad as they did.

Danved

If only the Empress CE wasn't $250..... :C

It's way too expensive to be a Bemani fan.

HOT. I'd tap... I mean buy it.

Om nom nom.

I'd hit that, yo. Nyan

The bandanna bra is a nice touch. Why make the difficult choice between cleavage and underboob when you can have both?!

Kanji08

I'd rhythmically press her buttons, if you know what I mean.
