DOA EX Summer Beach Ayane

Posted by Blowfish On October - 19 - 2008

Its getting cold outside in Germany but that wont stop the lovely Dead or Alive girls from wearing their skimpy swimsuits infront of everyone.Ayane is the first girl that wants to convince us that swimsuits are the right choice to wear.

Check out her big arguments after the Jump!

  • Name: Dead or Alive EX Summer Beach Swimsuit Version Ayane
  • Scale: Nonscale – about 18 cm
  • Manufacturer: Sega
  • Design: Shunya Yamashita
  • Sculpt: Zenko
  • Castoff: Nope
  • Price: about 8 €

The Girls from Dead or Alive are known for their excellent fighting skills and well build bodies.The same goes for the Girls that Shunya Yamashita  brings to paper.What do you get when you combine both together?Well…since both Artstyles are pretty similar youll only notice Yamashitas involvement when you take a look at the girls faces.The rest stays pretty faithful to the usual  eye – heavy design.

This is my first Sega figure and i actually expected the figure to look like crap.Ive seen some pretty bad Sega figures on blogs but hey they are UFO-Catcher Prizes so what are you expecting?The Good News is that the figures arent really bad.Sure there a pretty obvious seamlines,glossy PVC and the paintjob is sloppy through and through but they still please the eye if viewed from the right angle.Ayane looks quite good from a frontal view but when you turn her for 90 degrees its a whole different story.The seamlines basically jump into your eye especially on her inner thighs and her hair.Her upper eyes are also a victim of the sloppy execution and make her depending on the viewing angle look a bit cross eyed

One of the nifty things about her is her halfway see through…errr…umm…thing you wear around your waist…How the hell is that called? A Scarf??.I really like it combined with her pose that was sculpted by Zenko who also did the first Shuraki Akatsuki Mishiro.The base that comes with her gives the scene a nice beachy atmosphere and with turn my desk into a leisure zone.

Keep her cheap price in mind and youll have fun with a sloppy yet charming figure

Check out Lylibellules awesome Review of both figures in a great diorama

Ill post some Pics of the other Hottie the next days :D

  6. char Said,

    I see the Shunya Yamashita influence, but it’s not as well executed as other Shunya figures such as Rei by Yamato or Nida Schuetlich by Good Smile ^^;

  8. gordon Said,

    the more i look at her the more i like this figure. very nice eyes. but the seamline are … >.<

    maybe u can use an art knife to scrape it off. sand paper might make the area rough.

    Beautiful pics! They sublimate the low cost figure. It’s true we can see a little mold lines, but we must watch closely.
