Magical? Poka~n
Pachira is Vampire
DELICIOUS FLAT CHEST!!
There, I said it, she has one of the most drool-inducing chest in the anime world (in my opinion).
Now, this post won’t actually consist of any bare chest as mentioned… (there goes the majority of my viewers…)
BUT for those armpit lovers, stay seated!
This will be the last set of the photos taken last year as I decided not to post the Himekuri moda noel, there was just not enough good photos in the set I took =/
Oh well, onto the photos!
Location
This, as mentioned, is the last photo set from the two days at Melbourne University. Pachira here is standing just outside the old quad area thingy on the steps. The place was a nice place for elegant gothloli enthusiasts to do some photo shoots. It was pretty out of the way as well, so no busy bodies prying into my fetish…
Setup
I compromised, with no mini-tripod I used the figure boxes to rest the camera on ^^;
It was pretty much a simple affair, set camera up, point and shoot. With the next set of photos, I opted for the stylish feel, now I understand some of you may not like it, just bear with me for this batch and leave a comment that bites my head off so that I’ll know better next time I try to do something new…
Figure
Oh how I love Pachira. This figure has captured her sexy seductive “innocence”, Hiroaki Tokunaga has done an excellent job of sculpting this. Pachira is one of the first few models from Max Factory to incorporate their cast off Polo System and it’s my first experience with it. Unfortunately I don’t have any reference pictures for you folk =/ While it’s nice awesome to be able to take her top and skirt off, there are problems that most figure collectors encounter. Rubbing of the plastics when taking or putting the clothes back on is quite worrisome, and can leave some streaks on the paint ;_;
Talking about paint, Pachira’s paint job is also very nicely done. Her hair is shaded nicely, and the blushing of her skin is impeccable. Pachira’s leathery parts are also done with a nice glossy look, but not so glossy that the shine will blind you.
Thoughts
Hopefully this stylised approach is ok with you folk, I felt like making the photos a lil more, oh what’s the word, arty?
I like this photo shoot set, I can stare at Pachira forever…
Summary
HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
But then again, this Pachira figure pushes all my right buttons. From her arched back, to her thigh high boots and garter, to her twin tails, to her bare armpits, to…ok, I think I’m starting to scare myself a lil.
In all seriousness, this is a figure that would most likely be an excellent addition to anyone’s collection.

What’s with Old Art…. -_-
Brings me good memories about my first lecture where I actually slept since the start :)
LOL!!!!
*P.S. Louise and Fate/Zero Saber on the way to Malaysia!! now I need place to put pictures -_-;*
nice pictures! I’ve gone back and forth so many times on this figure (seems I do that with all figures lol), but eventually decided to place an order for it, because everytime I see the arch of her back I totally melt :o
Hopefully she should be coming within the next month!

Nothing wrong with trying to be artsy when it comes to taking photos since photography is an art itself. It’s what I usually try to aim for when taking photos. Use fo the figure box as a means to hold the camera is a trick I also use when I come short of a tripod. But it does get tricky if it doesn’t sit still.
A lovely figure but alas, I didn’t order one at the time. Perhaps I’ll pick one up another day.
Adun’s last blog post..ARIA The Origination – 03
@Rin, ^^ thanks, I knew the place had some nice buildings for the photo shoot with Pachira~
@Adun, I would of prefered the tripod but I had to make do. And it does get a lil tricky when trying to get the camera to hold still =/
Ooooh different blog design! Pretty.
Anyway, go stylish! Well, so long as you like doing that sort of thing. These figure posts adds a bit of fun to this hobby we have though, don’t it? :)
With you on the arched back. Plus I find her top so cute that taking it off would be a crime.
I like the “artsy” pictures; I never really get inspiration to do that though, so mine end up crappy >_>
Zeroblade’s last blog post..MaxFactory Fauna
Lovely pics, I like the approach you’re taking with this set and I do hope it becomes constant. It really has a nice feel to it =)
Never had much problems with the paint rubbing off on her (probably because I don’t take those clothes off too often as well) and the only sort of problem I had was deciding whether those hairbands were bats or cats :p Sure it’s supposed to be a bat with Pachira being a vampire and all but I’m just not used to upright bats I guess ^^;
My first experience with Max Fact Polo System, even if I already had Chitose but never tried for her. Seem too complicated =_=;
Well, that’s funny, but not for Pachira. Her outfits are so original that there is no need to remove them :)
That’s a nice location you went. Last pictures are in a good tone for me ^^
lu-k’s last blog post..Guns & Girlies
@super rats, I guess when I started this blog, I wanted to showcase some of my items which I love, so by giving them a lil style it’ll help portray how I feel about them…or something~
And it’s a crime only if I get caught! *runs*
@Zeroblade, lol, well, if you really wanted to then all you need to do is take the first step in learning :3
@shino, a constant in terms of the old days look, or constant in the slightly “shopped” look? There’s a little part on her belly where it connects to the bottom half that has a lil smudge on it from rubbing =/ That’s also a good question about the bats/cats… I never thought about it lol
@lu-k, Ah, I missed out on Chitose, I guess I save a lil money here and there lol. Glad you liked the photos XD
I remember one episode in Magical Pokan where she tried to enlarge her breast with a pump of somekind. Not the most hilarious, but strangely memorable. It’s the only clear memory I have left of this anime.
Hangmen’s last blog post..1st SFG ODA SAW Gunner
I remember the part when she was licking the tomato juice off Aiko (it was Aiko right?)
@Aya: Not too sure really ^^; I’m not too good with terms when it comes to photography, but I just really like how the style is turning out for you and the mood it conveys, so whatever you’re doing for this set, keep it up! ^^b
Apologies if that didn’t help too much :/
Hangmen>>
hahah now that you mention it I remember that scene too! It was in one of the early episodes, she went to great lengths to hide it from everybody lol.

@shino, I think I get it XD Thanks~
I can still get her.. thinking want to or not.. any recommendation? XD
btw, added you to my blogroll :)
Prim3’s last blog post..Tomoe
Well, you know my answer XD
This was my first (and it will probably stay that way) figure, and hell, yeah she’s nice. :) Got her a few months ago and she now has a very nice place in my room.
Of course it’s a little bit strange whenever I have non-otaku friends as guests, but I can deal with it, I’m probably pretty much seen as a sickfuck anyway.
I don’t have many non-otaku come into my room, but I did have some friends of my mother come and see…. they found it “interesting” to say the least. XD

She is a fantastically gorgeous figure. Tis why she sold out very quickly when it came in stock on UK sites, and was priced very high….
Meimi132’s last blog post..Pec Champo/Baek Changpo Figure – GET!!(soon ;D)
Sexy, innocent tasteful upskirt white panties is the most adorable thing on earth. I wish I had the money to put on a show of nothing but innocent upskirt white cotton panties as an national art-form, because it truly is.
@Meimi132, goes to show what cast off ability can do for figure sales XD
@dmt, lol, i’d pay to go watch that XD
Pachira is so kawaii. I love the photo-shoot and the doll figure blends well with the settings. Just great. ^^*
Thanks! :3
