Its been quite some time since my Blog has seen any new content hasnt it?I still need to tweak a few things here and there but I thought its a good idea to give people a reason for coming back to my blog.Megahouse`s Risty has been waiting to be reviewed for about half a year and shes the right caliber to celebrate the Rebuild of Flying Pussyfoot.
Are you ready to get your ass kicked?
Risty has always been one of the wilder characters in the Queen`s Blade Line Up representing a mischievous thief that steals from the rich and shares part of her loot with the poor.
Risty became a War orphan at a young age and was taken in by the head of a gang of bandits.After years passed and she became a formidable woman her new father figure was killed during an internal power struggle among the bandits.This made her open her eyes and part with those backstabbers to found her own group of chivalrous bandits to bring peace back to the people that they dont have to experience the same fate as she does.
The Anime prefers to add a tear jerker story about some poor Orphanage that needs some serious funding but her motivation stays the same throughout the anime.
Risty is one of the few Characters of Queen`s Blade that relies on brute strength and has a physical build that represents the force of nature that she is.Theres a thin line that you walk with girls like these but Eiwa did a good job with his original design.She may be older than the usual pedobait and can crush you inbetween her thighs but shes still cute and you would probably enjoy it.
Jun Tsukasa on the other hand took Eiwa`s Design and turned Risty into a scarred,battle experienced warrior that emits a very heavy aura of superiority. I still wouldnt mind beeing crsuhed between her thighs but I fear that I am in the minority ^^;;
Megahouse deserves some praise to not go the easy route and use the widely popular Risty designed by Eiwa but Jun Tsukasa`s Artwork for their as of now last figure of their Queen`s Blade Excellent Model Core Lineup.I still hope theyll release a Claudette and Irma inbetween the Queen`s Blade Rebellion Lineup someday but until then shell be their final Queens Blade figure.
Even though I hope that she wont be the final Queen`s Blade Figure from Megahouse shes is more than worthy of the title since shes incorporates all of Megahouse`s strengths and makes her their finest QB release.The Sculpt is absolutely spot on and I have to praise Mohio`s first work as sculptor for Megahouse.Mohio seems to be pretty new to the game but I assure him a bright future as their Sculptor.I cant wait to see his work on the upcoming Siggy while normal people might be more interested in his upcoming Klan Klang.The Paintjob doesnt disappoint either with an excellent application and great colour choices: her gear looks rugged,her hair fierce and her body is well tanned.Some may be bothered about the progredient colour shift from red to greyish of her hair but to me its a pretty cool effect.
There arent many things id improve but If I could choose one thing id change it would probably be her scars.I absolutely love scars and I wish theyd be a bit more prominent like in Tsukasa`s artwork but thats just nitpicking on my side.
The Cast-Off Function is rather painless and you dont need to have a master of Cast-Offology to stare at her bare chest.Ive seen alot worse cast-offs by Megahouse and the only thing that was a bit tiresome were the pegs of her top that required quite some pulling.
As usual my QB Figures sit butt-naked in my Detolf until their reviewed because I find the cast-off such a hassle.It speaks Volumes that I managed to get her clothed again after half a year without having to think too much about it.
Whats my Verdict? Risty is a excellent figure thats among the best of the last few months and shouldnt be ignored because of her impressive physique.Grab her when you have the opportunity,you wont regret it.
Other Reviews can be found at:
Lets talk now about one thing I noticed when I unpacked my Risty: Megahouse seems to test assemble their figures with their weapons.When I tried to insert the Buckler Shield into her left hand I noticed that something was stuck in her hand and it proved to be the knob of her Bucklers handle.My Shield came with the knob thats why I am guessing that they test fit the weapons before packing the figure.I hope that they use prototype weaponry for test fitting otherwise some poor sob may have a copy without a knob ^^;;;;;
The following pictures were taken with my new Sigma 1,4 50mm lens and even though I didnt buy it for figure photography I am more than happy with the results.As usual I am grateful for constructive criticism and hints. 
While her pose is rather static, which usually doesnt make great figure poses,her aura of superiority makes this an very intriguing pose.
There are very few occasions where I prefer the cast-offed figure over the scantily clad figure but Risty`s physique is sculpted so excellent that its a shame to hide those behind those dreaded clothes.Even if youre no fan of naked figures I highly recommend checking out these pictures to truly grasp the astounding work of Mohio.
Never thought that a muscular women could look this sexy.
Those are some sweet ABS
Hair and Shield look sweet too
Thats it with todays Review!I still have a few QB figures that need to be reviewed so that I can finally get them clothed again.I guess Ill do those next.If youre bored with QB though theres also the Alter Ikki Tousen Girls among others waiting to be reviewed.Lemme know what you want to see.

Whoa whoa whoa Blowfish, why is your Risty’s neck so unnaturally long? Did you push her head in all the way? When I compared it to Tier’s photos, there’s a pretty drastic discrepancy.
Chag recently posted..Weekly Highlights: Flat cheeks, Furries, and Nuclear Apocalypse
I definitely agree with Chag. I find the neck kinda long too. Did you do that on purpose?
softz recently posted..Canaan of Canaan Series (Good Smile Company)
Nope,it was just me not paying attention.
I doubt anyone would want to make her this long necked on purpose ^^;
Dang! First Comment and the flaw in my pictures is already revealed.I had my head in the clouds while taking and postprocessing these pictures.By the time I uploaded them to Flickr I noticed that I didnt push her head deep enough.
I didnt feel like doing all the work again (especially cast-off) and hoped that noone would notice…
In other words youre the bad guy
Hahaha, sorrry! But I couldn’t ignore that big elephant (or giraffe) in the room =P
Chag recently posted..Weekly Highlights: Flat cheeks, Furries, and Nuclear Apocalypse
I gotta agree with Chag.
softz recently posted..Shikinami Asuka Langley of Evangelion Aizu Project
same with Chag, the first thing i noticed was the neck.
checked mine and it’s not this elongated, it must be the angles, or it wasn’t pushed back completely.
Wasnt pushed back completley ^^;;;
If I would have known that everyone notices this I might have actually redone these pictures,
Her neck looks long in the cast-on photos. Giraffe mode.
Still, she looks awesome. Although I’m not personally a fan all those muscles her tattoos and scars look great.
BioToxic recently posted..Princess Waltz Visual Novel
*sigh* I really SHOULD HAVE re-done those pictures.
I wonder what was on my mind that I only noticed while uploading to Flickr.
The properly assembled figure ISNT a giraffe.It was just me not paying attention.
Yes, she might not be to certain collectors tastes but shes undeniably a great piece of work
lol@longneck. There, now every comment says something about it xD
Otherwise, the pics are looking pretty good ^^
anonymous_object recently posted..K-ON! Mugi-chan by Azone
Yeah,yeah…Im gonna redo her this weekend < .<
Atlesat the pictures of the giraffe look good ^^;
Oh come on, you’ve gotta redo those photos! Please? She looks horrible like that.
I hope to redo these pictures this weekend.I cant say no if someone begs like this
I hate to point this out as well….but the neck xD
Great figure though. I love the detail on her body. On the unclothed version I have to comment that even the scar on her “eyes” look awesome.
Kairu90 recently posted..Ongaku: Big Bang
Yeah, my FAIL aside theres not much too complain about this figure besides personal prefernces.
I love the detail that went into all her muscles and scars <3
Haha, the neck was the first thing I noticed too. I’ve had a lot of times where I took photos, noticed something was amiss, and just dumped the whole set and started over.
I’ve seen the Ikki Tousen girls so you should show us more Queen’s Blade girls; that’ll give me more opportunity to gripe about the lack of Irma some more.
Tier recently posted..Rika Shiraki from Bible Black (NSFW)
I sadly cant find the time anymore to do as many figure reviews as I want to.
Thats why I had to decide if I should leave my blog postless until I find time to redo the shoot or to post it and hope that noone notices…
So you want QueensBlade?
Little Elve?
Clockwork Automaton?
Dwarve
Or Ruler with Meat Rendering Blades?
That figure of Risty shows some excellent sculpting and paint job, am quite impressed! ^^
Bit of a shame the head wasn’t pushed in all the way, it does stick out like a sore thumb. >_<
You should give her a nice sweet home.
She definately would spice up your usual figure pattern
Its a bummer that I am the only one that didnt realize it until everything was done
This is one of my prized QB figures. I love the realism in the figure and overall look.
I agree with keeping them naked as well. It seems you have to do that in the beginning when unpacking them anyway. I just got Ymir in her Gothic Black and did the same thing.
Sorry about the long neck
PS. Thanks for linking my review over at FinallyAnime
bluedrakon recently posted..June Haul
Ah so youve got the Rebellion Ymir?
Mines sitting naked in my Detolf waiting to be reviewed.
I am glad that I am not the only one with this procedere.
You have to cast them off atleast once so why should I put in more work than necessary for a review?
No Problem man!
*LOL* I had a laugh by reading the comments. Giraffe mode and blah blah… Blowfish, you should really redo them
softz recently posted..Shikinami Asuka Langley of Evangelion Aizu Project
*Head Implodes*
Yes,I will redo them otherwise these pictures will haunt me even into my grave
WELCOME BACK! I kept trying to post comments of encouragement before when you had all those blog issues, but they didn’t go through! Anyway I love your Risty, she looks like such a fierce warrior. The abs, hair, and battle scars are all really awesome. She is one of my favorite Queen’s Blades figures yet.
The neck aside these are still some awesome photos, loving the detail and is that a scarred boob? XD
Judging from her unusual long neck. She must from Africa tribe that eat giraffe.
