I was thinking the same!!! They didn’t even make an angry face. The face honestly just kills it. Her face looks like Asuna from Sword Art or something rather than Kasumi.






I feel that GSC screwed this one up big time!!!

Although, with someone daring to brave taking some paints or an airbrush to it...you could probably customize this into a Miko Mido figure... (for those who are old enough to get what I'm saying...) just rid the skirt and add a bow in the hair and you're set.

Same with me love anime but when it comes to her I want her game version damn hope we get one soon.

Deleted some posts. Yes, this is a hyper stylized figure with exaggerated anatomy. Can we be a little less vulgar about it?

Sorry, it's hard to find that line sometimes, it's not often we get figures featured on Toyark with descriptions like "A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability." But I guess dancing on that fine line is what DOA is all about.

Anyway this oddity is a Figma based on a 1/6 scale statue based on artwork that was based on the decade old DOA2/DOA3 graphics, so I can see why some are turned off by the cute. But I hope that this is successful enough that maybe Figma or Figuarts will look into doing more DOA characters based on DOA5 in the same vein as the recent Street Fighter and SNK figures.

Specifically it's this one:



This was the original from Max Factory, but it was also repainted into the black version of her costume, plus a "Hollywood" blue version as an exclusive I believe, and the one you posted where the outfit was changed to her more well known default blue outfit from the games.

But someone at Max Factory and/or GoodSmileCompany clearly loves the hell out of this design, or maybe it really is that popular? As it's lately received a small approx. 3 inch tall limited-edition model kit, and now a Figma that specifically includes an extra body piece in order to recreate the statue's exact pose.

It’ll be hard to do, seeing as how we’re a bunch of vulgar dudes talking about vulgar characters from a game who’s designer admitted its very existence is to be vulgar.

But hey, who doesn’t like a challenge?
