My new Dirty Pair Epoch figures

[greg]

Hi, first post here. I've been wanting to participate, so it's finally time for me to get into this forum. I just scored two BEAUTIFUL limited-run Dirty Pair figures from Epoch! These are expensive and fairly HTF, but I scored these recently and received them in the mail this weekend. Oh my monkey crap, I'm happy. I'm more excited then when I scored my non-bootleg Saber figure by ebCraft in Akihabara in February. These figures are "cold cast" with a mixture of resin and ceramic. Despite their dramatic poses, I won't have to worry about them drooping when the room gets warm due to this composition (unlike my Natsumi figure ). They come with wooden stands that say "3WA". Earlier this year I got the Dirt Pair figures by Wave, but those were a bit too busty. These Epoch Kei and Yuri figures come in the updated white outfits from the OVAs.

I've created thumbnails, so click on the images below for larger views. These are awesome figures.







Here's Kei...



Here's Yuri...



Together...



Their lovely rears...



Here's a pic that shows their size. They're bigger than my aforementioned ebCraft Saber figure. In this pic I've included my Revoltech Saber figure to show their relative size, plus my glasses and a couple of Nintendo DS kanji software.

There was only a limited run on these figures; some low number like 5,000 (I don't know if that's per set or per girl). I've been eying these figures for quite some time now, and I scored them for a killer price too.

Nice pair, those are indeed rare.
Re the Wave version, do they have 'gimmicks'?

No gimmicks (if you mean removable tops and such). I can take pics of those as well. They just recently came out to coincide with the Dirty Pair release on DVD (I own the laserdisc boxset, so no rush for me to get that). They feature the original outfits from the TV series. My only complaint is that they're a bit too busty.... It looks a little weird. Additionally, they seemed to have gave Yuri a bigger bust than Kei. Fans know their stats are the other way around!

Here are the Wave figures, and also while I'm at it the vintage vinyl dolls by Ban Dai which go for a bit of money usually, but I managed to get them for $20 each off ebay a year or two ago.




What can I say? I love Dirty Pair. I really do not care for Dirty Pair Flash though, so I won't buy the DPF figures by Yamato. It would be nice if Yamato were to sculpt original DP figures though...

Thanks for posting the pics, too bad there's no gimmick. I suspected there was a gimmick hence the bigger-than-normal chests but there are no review pics to confirm it. I was planning to get the Wave figs but I'll probably skip it.
