A memo in the notebook of catching up with the PVC figure world: as of this year, (in)famous resin kit producer Okayama Figure Engineering has been producing PVC versions of their incredibly explicit resin kits that have long been a fixture of Wonder Festival, attracting huge crowds of photographers around their perennial booth.
The lineup of their PVC figures can be found at Amiami, consisting of original figures along with a few from Mink’s Yakin Byoutou (Night Shift Nurses) eroge series. They’re pretty uniformly bad, selling on the sex factor more than anything – even where the bodies are alright, the faces leave a lot to be desired.
Their newest PVC offering is pictured above courtesy of Moeyo, an original character called Kyonyuuwa Hanna. Since these figures are so large, unsightly, and extravagantly expensive I likely won’t be covering them too much unless they come through with a particularly eye-catching one, but they’re out there now if you’ve had your eye on the Okayama lineup but couldn’t justify the expense and labor of the resin versions.
I’d Okayama to go back to making non-ero kits of game characters like back in the 90s. Those at least looked good.
