I like it, myself. It'll be a good substitute for the absent Midori resin figure of the Souga CAS.
and I actually think her boobs are like that. The weird brace thing she wears kinda limits SRDX enhancing.

Eh... I think it's all the brace.. There's no way that's gonna leave you looking normal, or be comfortable, but it doesn't necessarily look bad

The new SRDXs today look awesome compared to the old SRDXs. The look more detailed, I do hope they make one of Ferumi the Bio Ptera pilot.

I'm hoping for one of the Versus characters, mainly Tita Breeze.

I honestly think this one looks crap so far. Detailing is poor and signs of "construction" which should be kept minimal are rather visible on this. And the breasts. Yeah, they're just not working. I honestly DO think they look that bad. Far more than the brace they're bizarrely shaped (though the brace kinda makes it look like the breasts are being choked despite the brace not seeming anywhere near small enough to do so from pictures) and stick out at weird angles. Looking from behind you can clearly see them which is something of a feat. Boobs from behind[In my opinion both this and Riize's SRDX figurines were worse overall compared to some of the earlier ones like the Taskers. Both Taskers suffered a chronicly over-inflated chest but their quality and detailing were much better than this. I'm personally hoping this isn't a "final preview" but given the release date of February (watch this slip like a one legged dog onice) it doesn't seem likely though colours may very well be likely to change in shade. |

In case someone forgot, boobs don't natually clump together like berries  . They hang apart and project outwards, so it only looks strange there because of the anime toothpick waistline. If the blue material was tight and supportive (ie trying to flatten the chest), that topsuit would probably be quite comfy for a bouncy robot ride. Anyways, I think the figure looks fine aside from the weird gap on the bangs. Detailing could be better, but I would attribute most of that to the painting. |

I know plenty of females who also agree that the breasts look unnatural/weird/bizarre so it's not just me or a bunch of guys :p EDIT: Another Link Click on the thumbnail below to get the "promo poster". |

Looks alright to me. Although I think the reason it looks strange is because we are so used to the "Tasker Sister" kind of Fanservicy breast line.

In my opinion both this and Riize's SRDX figurines were worse overall compared to some of the earlier ones like the Taskers. Both Taskers suffered a chronicly over-inflated chest but their quality and detailing were much better than this. The Tasker figures were obviously sculpted by someone other than the person who's done the rest of the SRDX figures, for one their quality and detailing was much higher and second they were molded almost entirely in one piece whereas the other SRDX figures are actually made up of many separate pieces, they just come assembled. So while I don't disagree with you I don't think it's fair to judge every figure against those two when there's over 15 figures in the line. |

Actually from what I've heard there's far more than just one or two sculptors for the SRDX line. For the Taskers I even heard that it was a hentai artist who did the sculpting and I'd guess that there are quite a few different sculptors who work for Yujin. Even if there were only one, two or three sculptors though I'd still find it fair game to pick out the better works against the poorer. It's not like one tries different things along the way, decides to go with lower quality after having attained high quality and gripes injustice at the low quality being picked on.
As it is I was using the Taskers as an example mainly for the fact that of the older figurines they're the only two I have on display. I have some others in storage though I can't be bothered to display them and I have a higher opinion of several other figurines as well. The SRDX Re Mii I thought was splendid as far as SRDX went (perhaps even moreso than the Taskers) and the SRDX Swimsuit Fiona I thought was fairly well done too. Of other figurines I think are better (for their time if not too much) than the two recent releases quality/detail-wise there's Kanon, Moonbay, Mary Champ (even if the figurine itself is rather unattractive), Celica, Naomi isn't too bad and the Pierce figurine is okay if a bit plain.
So really, as a good friend of mine says, whoever makes the decisions should really just hire whoever did the Taskers/Re Mii (or bluntly, whoever did the best job) and ask them to tone back the memories mammaries.

I think that they look fine. Only reason one would think that would be because they prefer cleavage, but I won't get into that...
Like Alteka said, that's the natural way of hanging.
As for the behind, I attribute it to the narrow torso due to it being Anime-styled...

Even if there were only one, two or three sculptors though I'd still find it fair game to pick out the better works against the poorer. What I meant was the Tasker figures really stand out from the rest of the figures, not just in quality and detail but they don't even really feel like part of the same line. The rest of the SRDX figures all have pretty much the same construction and asthetic, when I had all of mine on display I always felt like the Tasker Sisters seemed like they didn't belong, even though they are better they don't really fit in because they're so different. So it doesn't make sense to me to judge all of the other figures against the only two that don't really feel like they belong in the line, but that's just me, you can do whatever you want. |

To be honest you coulod just say that this girl has some serious a hemmm "big dodgy fake pornstar boobs", or if they are actually ment to be real then she must be from the maria carey gene pool, to have a rack like that.
Aside from that the sculpt looks ok, the only thing i can really pick up on is the finish, who ever done the painting and detailing done a pretty mediocur job. if it had a better finish it i'd stand a lot higher in my standars but at present its a bit Meh....
