You guys may remember that I posted a figure tribute to Haruna Sarenji earlier this year. That set included a Yukata version of her as well. This model of Golden Darkness is from the same series of figures. The manufacturer of this model actually did several Yukata versions many of the To Love Ru girls. (Some of which you'll see in future tributes ^_^).

To Love Ru is a difficult anime to go through because there are so many series that it can be confusing what the watching order is. It a fun series with a lot of fan service scenes though and quite a sexy group of female characters to admire. I've only gotten a chance to see the first couple of episodes but I'm hoping to watch the series all the way through. 

Golden Darkness is one of the really popular characters in this series. I haven't gotten up to her introduction in the anime yet but I know a lot about her. She is based on another character from the Black Cat anime/manga called Eve who I am more familiar with. (Black Cat was written and illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki who also developed the To Love Ru series. ^_^).  The two characters look very similar (Eve's hair is just a little darker) and share the same set of power... the ability to transform their bodies.  From what I've seen of Golden Darkness, she is really cool. As an assassin she is really powerful. I imagine that she's a lot of fun to watch on screen. 

Ok... that's all for now everyone. As alway... more to come soon!

To Love Ru: Haruna Sairenji (Figure)

Ok... a special character for today... Haruna Seirenji. ^_^

 

(Various webfinds from Amazon and other sites. Huge thank yous to Figsoku, Digitamin and Serashikoki for recommending this first model via Twitter which was in turn the inspiration for this tribute.)

Haruna from To Love has appeared on this blog a few times in the past:

She's extremely memorable for a manga exclusive scene where a potion mishap temporarily adjusted her personality causing her dominate the male lead in her anime (Rito) with her feet.

I know that always tend to bring up Haruna's domination in every post I feature her. I should probably clarify that character is usually extremely sweet and kindhearted. ^_^ I like her regardless though getting to her demand that Rito like her feet was obviously a lot of fun.

There are 4 models of Haruna being featured in this tribute. The first is a recently released To Love Ru Darkness Yukata model of Haruna. It 1/8 scale sized and about 7 1/2 (190mm) inches in height and sculpted by Rei Azusa. I have to admit that I was blown away when I saw this model. Haruna looks absolutely gorgeous and the kimono she is wearing is really sexy. We're given an amazing glimpse of sole with this model and it seems like a lot of detail was put into it. Her feet look incredibly beautiful giving us an amazing sense of how great they must be to massage. ^_^ The figure itself is actually part of Yukata Harem set featuring multiple members of the To Love Ru cast. Hot!!

Ok... the next model is a really cute Noodle Stopper version of Haruna. I had to google what a Noodle stopper was.  Apparently it's a small figurine cover designed to cover a Cup of Noodles container while the noodles are softening. It's one of those inventions that seem specifically designed for a Japanese otaku audience. This is a small model (About 5 inches taking into account that Harana's leg is designed to dangle over the cup). It is released by the company FuRyu and comes in two models... a red swimsuit and white swimsuit. Like with the last model, it part of series of several To Love Ru stoppers that were released so different stoppers . I can see how a To Love Ru version of Haruna  would make the minute or two waiting for your soup to prepare really fun. ^_^

Model 3 is Hot one. It 1/6 scale Pre-Painted PVC Model of Haruna wearing a sexy wedding outfit. The figure is produced by the company Max Factory. The figure reminds me a lot of Emma Frost's original White Queen outfit. I guess because that one also has her wearing sexy lingerie. :-D

The last model is a Bandai 1/8 scale swimsuit model of Haruna. It seems like the model is sold with a blue swimsuit or a white swimsuit depending on your preference. It's another comparitively small figure at about only 5 inches tall but it still looks really sexy. ^_^ 

Alright everyone... I know there are a lot of attractive figurine images in this post to think about so I'm going to end this entry here as always more to come soon.

Until next time

To Love-Ru- Golden Darkness

A dispassionate and withdrawn assassin, Golden Darkness was hired by one of Lala's arranged suitors to kill Rito. However, it isn't long before she breaks this contract, noting the true nature behind her target. She maintains that, while she spends time on Earth, her goal is still to assassinate Rito (even if she has yet to accomplish this, leading one to believe it is an excuse to remain on Earth). Commonly referred to as 'Yami' by her friends, she spends her time wandering the ground around Sainan Highschool, reading books and eating taiyaki, she has a strong hatred for anything perverted, with an additional weakness towards slimy substances.
