Figure maker Orchid Seed has delayed the release of three of their PVC figures originally scheduled to go on sale in September to some point in October: Ignis the White, [ERO] Chichinoe+2 Young Hip Cover Gal, and [ERO] Seihouin Erika. Given that this runs into the production schedule of a couple of their other kits I’m guessing we can expect delays in those as well. (no more)
I remember when Chichinoe+2 YHCG was scheduled to come out last July. I’m kind of getting impatient with that one -_-‘
This’ll give me more time to save up money for their Satsuki Ikaruga figure…that is, if it’s also affected by the delay.
Otherwise, back to regular cheap-ass spending schedule. ;_;
Ignis or Rio or Ignis or Rio or Ignis or Rio or Ignis…
You broke my mind, Shingo. Now I’m obsessed with PVC figs of heroines from erogames I’ll never, ever play.
Is this to give them all “plushy boobs” like the “Young, Hip, Covergirl”?
How do you feel about that? The plushy boobs? I’m kinda on the fence about it because I don’t think it’s something they’ll get right immediately out of the gate and it will take them a couple of waves to get it right.
I think after a while it’ll be something where stress lines can form and eventually lead to a ruined figure.
Paranoid maybe……

I could be wrong here, but I thought the “plushy boobs” were just a soft pvc? I don’t think you’d have to worry about stress lines.
Hey Hammer!!
I saw a pic on a site where it looked like the breasts were a seperate piece that went inside the pvc shell. I think Shingo linked to it because the site was written in Japanese (I think) text so I didn’t know what it was saying. But if it’s just soft pvc that’s cool. In fact I think it’s from another post about the YHCG being delayed.
The chest part is made of a “soft PVC”, as HammerOfChrist says; I’m not exactly sure about its chemical properties but I believe it’s just a different polymerization of the same basic material.
I don’t think there’s any likelihood of the other figures being fitted with that option, but Ignis being delayed seems logical due to the complexity of the sculpt, and Erika because we haven’t heard a word about her (or seen any new samples) since her release announcement.
Goodsmile and Alter both went through this sort of phase (and Megahouse has as well) in recent years, so here’s hoping it’s just a bit of bad planning on Orchid’s part that won’t affect future operations.
Well, I got in on the second batch of Ignis figures, so maybe they’ll release the two batches together? ^^ As long as they *do* release her, then I will be happy. ^_^
Well, given my current budget status until December 31st, I hope this translates into Sworder Feana/Feena being pushed into January; as it is, I I will have to cancel Erika and not even preorder Rio TT
