This Dead Or Alive Figure Does Not Lack Graceful Pose

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:00:00 MDT

This November, famed Japanese figure maker Kotobukiya is bringing the latest entry in its Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 series with a 1/6 Kokoro statue. Priced at ¥7,882 (US$74), the figure not only features removable clothes (been there! done that!) but hot umbrella action (ooooooooooooh). Out of all the Kotobukiya DOAX2 figures, this one has the most graceful pose. Umbrellas really make everything all classy like.

Hitomi From DOA Straddling An Inflatable Pool Toy: The Figure

Look, just because we're on GDC like white on rice, doesn't mean we're not checking for Breaking News on the questionable collectible vinyl toy market. Case in point, this Hitomi of Dead or Alive fame figure, part of the "Venus on the Beach" series from Kotobukiya, announced just hours ago. You may know it better as the "Removable Tops and Bottoms" series, in which buxom brawlers Ayane and Lei Fang have already been featured in various states of undress. It's the most... uh, tasteful of the bunch and very necessary for those looking for the complete collection. I just pray that the series ends before Zack gets his turn.

Put your pre-orders in now. This one ships in June for a mere 9,240 yen (only $85). Cheap!

Finally, Dead Or Alive Toys With Removable Clothing

If you haven't had your fill of Dead or Alive babes in statue form, Kotobukiya has you covered with this extremely uncovered Ayane sculpt. Based on Team Ninja's Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 version of the indigo haired ninja, the "Venus on the beach!" figure features removable clothing for when you're tired of upskirting virtual girls in the comfort of your own home. It's going to run you 8,190 yen and is due to ship in November. C'mon. It's Friday night and you're reading this entry. What better way do you have to spend your time and money?

DOAX's Kasumi Paint Job Studied

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 20:40:50 MDT

If you're going to drop nearly 8200 yen (about $70 American) each on Kotobukiya's Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 Kasumi PVC figures, you're entitled to see how that paint job turned out.

Fortunately, the PVC-loving pervs at Moeyo have put both the "Southern Cross" and "Virgo" variants through their patented rigorous testing process to determine just how good this sculpt and paint application is. Their testing process, of course, consists of taking dozens of close-up photographs of Kasumi's T&A for the lonely otaku crowd. The results are online and most likely not safe for work.

How do they look? I'm no PVC connosiuer, but the butt sculpt looks pretty good and the thirteen Kasumi crotch shots really show Kotobukiya's attention to detail. My review? Better than the actual DOAX2 video game but worse than Max Factory's Kasumi. Michael McWhertor

Kotaku Magu: Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 Cracks Japan's Top Ten

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 09:20:49 MST

When Microsoft proudly showed the Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 trailer at this year's TGS, I felt embarrassed for them. This was the game the company was pinning hopes and dreams on? Come on. DOA X2 is anything but mainstream and appeals only to a small segment. Hardly a title worth giving that eXtra push to. Well, turns out I was wrong, and Microsoft Japan was very right. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 has cracked the top ten in sales, coming in at number 7 and moving 45,065 copies in its first week. Wow, just wow. Brian Ashcraft

The One-Handed Xbox 360 Controller

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 18:20:00 MST

No, you twisted, hentai wanking filth, this is not a controller made for Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Put your debit card away. This custom wireless Xbox 360 controller, hacked by Ben Heckendorn, was made for a serviceman injured in Iraq. You might remember Heckendorn's previous custom electronics, like the Xbox 360 laptop and the Neo Geo Portable.

According to his making-of post, the device is controlled mainly with the left hand, triggers and buttons on the posterior side within reach of the four fingers, with analog sticks and d-pad controlled by the thumb and right leg.

Ben has seen so much interest in such a device that he's considering mass manufacturing. Let's hope that Heckendorn and company are successful in accomplishing their goal of getting more of these into the hands (or hand) of the injured and disabled, and that we're not forced into shaming controller manufacturers into doing this sort of thing.

Actually, scratch that. Console and controller manfacturers should be doing this shit, like, yesterday. Michael McWhertor

Dead or Alive Xtreme Pole Dancing

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 16:00:49 MST

I played a good 30 minutes of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 earlier this week, which was more painful than I could imagine. The broken sequel is just not worth a premium price when internet porn is essentially free. So, as a public service, I present you with a smattering of pole dancing videos featuring the girls of DOAX2.

If you like sloppy boob physics and thick ankles, check 'em out.

Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2 Commercial Contains Boobs

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:40:48 MST

You know what to expect right? Some sloppy breast physics, bad music, dull gameplay, and every opportunity to see some digital booty in all manner of suggestive poses. Still, its better than looking at real humans most of the time. They're so gross! All fleshy and freckled. Yuck. Michael McWhertor

Those DoA Bikinis Are Xtremely Embarrassing

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 06:20:38 MDT

(Well, not those. Those are actually okay. It's the other ones we're talking about.)

At TGS, when Microsoft showed the Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, there was actually a collective groan. Not at how silly the trailer was (it was pretty silly), but just at how long it was. Regardless, Tecmo's Team Ninja didn't disappoint fans. They've pretty much made the game people who owned the first one would want. While most of the official screens show somewhat conservative outfits, costume crazy site Costume GET! has a smattering of upcoming skimpy NSFW in-game bikinis, including one made of a string of pearls! Silly, indeed. Brian Ashcraft
