Takamachi Nanoha ~ The White Devil
Oct 15th, 2008 by valho
Finally got my first Nanoha figure, been wanting to get a figure of Nanoha ever since I watched the anime, but the GSC Nanoha (9 years old version) was kinda hard to find. Was glad when I saw that GSC will be releasing a Nanoha based on StrikerS but too bad it’s not the barrier jacket version though. Still got her nonetheless though ^_^.
GSC decides to go for a sitting pose for Nanoha, she’s sitting on a transparent blue base with magical circle embossed on it. Of course she also comes with Raising Heart.
Nanoha cute smiling face xD.
Pretty nicely made Raising Heart, but kinda lack details I think.
Decide to take out some sofas for the shoot, haven’t use them in quite a while.
Quality is as expected from GSC figure, good sculpt and paint job. I kinda wonder if GSC will release Fate or not.
Alter did announce during the previous WF that they will be releasing Fate sometime next year. They seems to be releasing the whole StrikerS cast actually but unfortunately they are too pricey for me to collect them all. Currently have Alter Hayate and Teana PO, hopefully Alter will release Nanoha and Fate soon ^_^.

Ah I’ve only just started watching first Nanoha series not long ago… Gotta catch up with the rest >_<
Nanoha doing such pose is not how I’ve expected of her
But it’s good sculpt indeed. Like how you got the sofa in the props for the shots~
Alter’s gonna release Fate next year? Sounds very tempting, but it also means potential trouble for my wallet -_-
Nanoha series is pretty good, especially like the 1st and 2nd seasons.
Haha yeah, now I want a barrier jacket version of her. Well I think Alter will release Fate next year, they did display a prototype of her during the previous WF
Nice shoot!!!!!!
Really nicely done!!!
I want Nanoha!!!!!!
I keep forgeting to buy her and when I do have a chance, I don’t buy her…
Well, I wonder how you do the sofa part and where you get it…
I love how you did the blue background!!!
I’ve seen quite a number of shoots on her and overall, it’s pretty much the same response, lack of detail.
I’ve gave her a miss due to budget constraints and I kinda not regretting it now.
Still, I’m a Nanoha fanboy and along the track, I may still eventually pick her up.
One of these days I’ll eventually get a Nanoha figure, but not having seen the show yet, it’s the other character designs that look more interesting. I will finally get to watch some of it next month, so then it may lead me to go get one.
@Rin~thanks, how can you forget to buy her xD. The sofa are from Barbies, you can get them separately ^_^.
@Optic~yeah a bit lack of detail but still a nice figure though. Well if you are Nanoha fan you should pic her up, unless Alter release a better one of course haha
@super rats~are you waiting for the dvd release, too bad they took so long to release it. Well I am more of a Feito fan actually, I got Nanoha coz i wanted to collect the main characters.
I liked all series of Nanoha, this one was based on a picture that came out about a year on a Megami Deluxe magazine (which I have). The incoming Fate figure by Alter will probably be the biggest and largest figure ever made because of the swords and the possible mega base that she’ll have, if she doesn’t occupy an entire detolf section I’ll be surprised.
The sofas are a pretty nice touch although…put Mirei in there with Nanoha and we have a possible ecchi movie XD
@Belela-san~Yeah saw the picture b4, and Feito have one too, I kept wondering if GSC will release Feito based on that pic. I can’t wait for Alter Feito, hopefully will see some more pics of her soon.
Hahah good idea to put Mirei there, didn’t thought of that when doing the shoot
While I do like the character design in Nanoha Strikers, I personally feel that the story progression was disastrous.
Anyway, nice pics. Perhaps I should consider shelling out a significant amount from my bank account for a far better camera than my 5 year old Sony DSC-T1.
@Hangmen~story wise I still prefer Nanoha and Nanoha A’s. Thanks ^^
