Griffon Enterprises Touhou Collection


 

Fans of the Touhou series are surely going crazy over Griffon Enterprises’ releases of popular characters as 1/8 scale PVC figures. For those of you wondering what Touhou is, it’s not an anime but a series of pc games. Touhou games are of the shoot ‘em up genre, but instead of piloting a spaceship or other type of craft, you’re a cute little anime/manga-style girl fighting other girls (which could be humans or demons). I’ve played some of the Touhou games myself and they’re certainly a lot harder than regular shoot ‘em up games. If you don’t believe me, just look up some videos on youtube.

With Touhou recently enjoying huge success, Griffon Enterprises (a Japanese figure company), has taken this opportunity to profit from Touhou’s popularity with its lineup of figures:

Flandre Scarlet:

It looks like Griffon Enterprises is covering all the major characters first, but there are many more to go through. You can see the complete collection so far here.

Personally, I think some of the figures could use a bit more detail, but others look pretty well done. My favourite out of the collection so far would have to be Flandre Scarlet, mainly because of her wings.
