Here comes the second part of the great DOA Battle that doesnt involve fighting for once.All that counts are the participants arguments.We have seen Ayanes arguments the last time and she had some damn good ones.This time well take a look at the challenger Kasumi the beautiful Nuke Nin and Eternal Rival of Ayane.
Wholl decide this battle?Find out after the Jump!
- Name: Dead or Alive EX Summer Beach Swimsuit Version Kasmi
- Scale: Nonscale – about 18 cm
- Manufacturer: Sega
- Design: Shunya Yamashita
- Sculpt: Zenko
- Castoff: Nope
- Price: about 8 €
Kasumi is ,like Ayane, designed after a Shunya Yamashita drawing but youll only be able see the influence of him in Kasumis face.The bodydesign of DOA and Yamashita are pretty alike so it doesnt make that big of a difference in the proportions of the figure.Ayane turned out to be a pretty good Sega figure and Kasumi is no exception.She definately has her flaws but you can overlook them when you keep the price in mind.Ayane was struck pretty bad with seamlines and the paintjob was pretty good.Its the other way around with Kasumi: more decent seamlines but a not so good paintjob.Its really alright on the small parts like the bikini but her hair is struck with a really thick coat of paint.That gives her hair thats supposed to be flowing dynamically in the air more of a clunky feel.Thats my biggest complaint about Kasumi.Her hair is such a major part and yet it doesnt really look convincing.Shed look alot better if they had paid a bit more attention to it.Well shes a UFO Catcher price so they try to cut costs wherever possible…Thats also noteable in the PVC they used.Its one of those glossy types of material that makes her shiny
I like her kind of embarassed pose where shes trying to cover her eyes but to be honest thats bound to be failed.The only person that could cover those eyes with his hands has to be a Canadian lumberjack called Jaques living in the outskirts of civilization.Out of those two figures i prefer Ayanes pose a little bit more but both are typical Yamashita poses i like.Another thing i noticed about her is her daring bikini.Id love to see a real girl wearing a 2 piece like this in real life.I guess id be nosebleeding until i die from bloodloss.
I cant remember if i mentioned the bases in my last post.They are quite simple but still a nice extra.They are supposed to recreate a beach scenery and are successful with that^^
I dont regret buying those 2 figures and they are making my workspace a recreation resort ^_^
So who has won the grand fight?Its Ayane for me…How about you?
This is the Design both figures are based on
One of my favorite shots
Now THATS one hot bikini
Okay and this one is for optic^^

I prefer to pay more for better quality XD They’re good for the price I suppose ^^
Where did you get them?

Out of the two i prefer this one less seam lines and the overall look is nicer in my opinion

Even though they look like the art on the box, I say the figure could had been done a bit better…
I say it’s a bit weird…
The look of it seems to be lacking in quality, but beening an UFO machine figure, I give it a pass.
It’s okay…
Nice job on the photos though…

Yeah, I’ve seen those figures all over Akihabara… personally I’d prefer to get a good quality DOAX Kasumi over a ~¥2,000 figure. And what’s worse is that while I’m a raging Kasumi fan, out of the two the Ayane figure looks better in my opinion.

I usually dont by the cheap ones either but i had high hopes in these due to Yamashitas Design.They are alright for that price.I prefer real Yamashita figures tough ^^
I bought them from HLJ.
A local retailer sells them for 25€ a piece! Thats a absolute ripoff!!! You could get a good quality figure for the money youd have to cash out for both.On the other Hand you could only buy a Figma for the money I spent on both
@philthylizard
Yep both bases are completly identical.Just the Pegs are different
@Rin
Oh yeah they could have been alot better exectuted but we all know that Segas figures are mediocre at best.I knew what i would get and they are for me okay at this price.
thanks!
@Jed
Oh youre an Japan right now?Neat!
I havent really seen a Full Price DOA Figure i liked until now.The only good Kasumi figure that comes to mind is the MF one.
The main reason i got these was the Yamashita Design and since they are so cheap i had nothing to lose^^
I love Kasumi, but I have a soft spot for Ayane and her big boobs ^ ^

well then Itadakimasu! ^^
When I see her, I think “pan cakes”. But 8 Euro for pan cake? No way!
Well to be honest i thought about canceling them when the first pictures emerged but it was already too late by then.SEGA Figures are a hit or miss thing
mmmmmhhh…Pancakes….
She is hot, i have too !!!
great pics , thanks for details of this girl….
