Reviewing figures is still a pain because my flat is still flaiming hot so I decided to do a sweet and short review of Huit and Vingts Visual Combat book from Hobby Japan.Lets take a closer look at the Little Elf and her Clockwork Automaton right after the Jump.
I know your soul is burning to see Huits adoreable sidekick in its semi-poseable 1/8 figure form but I guess its sometimes good to be a tease and to post an interim book review inbetween both figures.
While my copy is the Limited Edition of the Visual Combat book theres no difference between the regular release of the book except for the excellent Huit Figure.I take it for granted that you like Huit & Vingt when youre buying this book so I recommend to get the decently priced Limited Edition 
All in all its the regular Queen`s Blade (Rebellion) Visual Combat book deal: hardcover,full colored and comes with the character card you need to play.Only difference I noticed to other releases is that under the dustcover isnt a 2P illustration but a single one of Huit.I wonder why they decided to stray from the norm in that regard but it isnt a dealbreaker in any kind since most people treat these books as artbooks anyways…
Huit and Vingt were created by Koume Keito and were,if im not mistaken,the second release from Hobby Japans Queen`s Blade follow up series.Like all other QB Characters both of them have a detailed background history which I want to write about before advancing to the pictures:
HUIT
Vingt is from the tribe of the little elves who are specialized into alchemy and live in a secluded area far away from wood elves like Alleyne & co.Shes the daughter of Great Alchemist Cyan,who happens to be a close friend of the weaponsmith Cattleya,and mastered the exceptional skills of her father already at a young age.The Neighbouring Kingdom of the Margrave-Kreuz family has close bonds with the little elves and their children Annelotte and Huit grew up playing with each other becoming childhood friends.Annelotte had to play the role of the crown prince, despite her gender, to keep order in her kingdom.Annelotte saw herself as the kind,big brother of Huit and spoiled her quite a bit throughout the years and even until today Annelotte remains the nii-san in Huit`s heart.
While Huit has a gentle heart and is kind to the ones close to her shes still a prodigy tactician and resorts to cold hearted tactics when the cause justifies the means.While she is able to defend herself she mostly resorts to her Alchemy powered Clockwork Automaton Vingt who she has a close bond with despite her robotic nature.
Who would have thought that Annelotte and Huit meet each other again in a twist of fate thats so much different from their childhood days?
VINGT
Vingt is the Clockwork Automaton,built by Huits mother, that never leaves Huits side and is bodyguard,friend and assistant to Huit in one person.The key Huit carries close to her heart is used to wind up Vingt from time to time to keep her going full power throughout their adventures.Huit issues orders to Vingt via Runes written on the “remote control” she carries around.
Will she continue to fight for the good cause or might her remote control fall into the wrong hands?
As earlier mentioned the Character designs were done by Koume Keito which most people probably know from the Spice and Wolf and Kujibiki Unbalance Manga.He did a terrific job in adapting the QB Style while still keeping a mainstream appeal which some of the Visual Combat Books cant achieve.You could of course argue if its good to keep a general Anime style or the distinct style of some Artists but I think Hobby Japan does a good job to keep this in balance with its different artists.
All in all its another great Visual Combat Book that should find its way into your bookshelv if you even remotely liek the characters 
No 2P behind the Dustcover this times
A Picture instead of Conversations this time.I guess this is due to the fact that no other characters were established at the time these went into print.
I find Vingt adorable despite her Elf ears :3
EAT LEAD!
VINGT KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!
My,my look where Vingts finger is “touching”…
Left Picture is one of my favorites throughout the whole book XD
This is her doing her Ultra Sonic Sound Attack.Not what you think you pervert
Putting the question of style aside, you gotta love the personality in the art, especially for Huit. While the art style might be a little out-of-keeping with the rest of the series, this book has got to be one of the most interesting combat books to flip through.
LOLI ELF TOSS.
Yeah,what it lacks in sexyness is definately made up with their personality.
I just love the dynamic between Huit and Vingt and the picture where shes tossed is simply priceless ^^
This was a good set to pickup. I actually have Vingts figure on order from HobbyFan. I figured if I had one, I needed the other.
Youll be very,very happy with Vingt.
Shes a great figure and even though mobility isnt as great as with a real Action figure its a nice extra.
And both together simply look badass
Looks like another great “Queen’s Blade” book. Do like the style used for Huit and Vingt. ^^
How come I am not suprised by this? ^_^
The artwork looks so ecchi and so hot!
And I see where the finger is touching. ^ ^
I am probably already totally de-sensitized but I dont get an ecchi vibe at all from these pics ^^;
Well, of course except for that kissing picture
The pose for the Ultra Sonic Sound attack is interesting
Yup,it reminds me alot of the Holy Pose ^^
I have to agree with you on that page, it’s the best in the book. Looks like Vingt is unleashing her ultimate attack.
I’m looking forward to the English translations of the QB Battle Books (and other works too?). I also read they plan on bundling figures with them – I wonder how it’ll all work out. I’ve not seen much news since it was announced at the Anime Expo though.
Yeah, thats definately worthy of the name ultimate attack!
I am excited aswell about the English releases.I doubt Ill buy them since I already have most stuff in japanese but itll probably give more insight into the characters.All that stuff I collected throughout the net is pretty vague at best.
Bundling with figures? Woot! thatd be awesome to close some gaps in my collection
lol…that kissing one looks so wrong. Especially after reading the back story.
Thats true friendship!
Knowing QB thats probably the Page where they are healed.Healed through kissing ^^
From the comments and the scoring so far it seems everyone is focusing on one specific picture eh? XD
Which picture were you focusing on eh?
No boobs this time? Lol.
Hmm…The Visual Combat books never showed nipples if thats what you mean.
Or arent Vingts boobs bigh enough for you? XD
