I like it better with scythe form, but this isn't too bad. I mean, at least it doesn't look like it has balance issues. And the facial expression looks great. And if you don't like it, can't you just send Alter a letter stating that you liked the original better? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

With the increase in price over the Nanoha figure maybe they'll make the sword removable (like the Nanoha fig) and include the scythe in the package.
On another note for those that like figures with removable clothing it looks like the Max Factory Chitose Nanbu figure fits the bill. There was a rumor about this about a month or so ago and two weeks ago I found this post (http://maxfactory.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2006/06/1_eeec.html) on Max Factory's staff blog.
BTW Gatts is that suppose to be Bob Sapp in you new avatar.

While I'm sure that you'll be able to remove Bardiche, I think only the Sword form will be included.

Yeah, it's Bob Sapp from the manga Seisou Suidansha (ISBN: 4894652382) by Shiwasu no Okina.

Although this isn't a major figure, I'll mention that a Bus Girl (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/59330) figure is being released by Tomytec.

Also for loli-moe fans there's the Solid Works Collection DX lunchbox (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/59318)

Last, although most people won't be able to get this, MoeSoul.com has two special colors of the Tomoyo After (http://www.happinetonline.com/NASApp/mnas/MxMSearchEngine?Action=prd_list_mall&amp;PageNo=0&amp;Sort =4&amp;Change=yes&amp;Where=mall&amp;search_string=R.D+SELECTI ON+Vol.1+%C3%D2%C2%E5+%B8%C2%C4%EA&amp;DispType=3&amp;ROOT _CATEGORY=&amp;DISP_NUM=10&amp;BookMark=1&amp;ImageDisp=1&amp;Usua lly=1&amp;SHOP_ID=0&amp;SEARCH_SHOP_ID=0) figure.

There was a series of 1/8 scale Azumanga Cold Cast figures released about three or four years ago, but they are all out of production. The statues were done by Toy's Works (http://www.toys-works.com/showwindow/statue/adgk0001.html) and distributed by Beat (http://www.h2.dion.ne.jp/~beat/toys.html). You might be able to find them on Yahoo Japan Auctions and some stores might carry a few here and there, but tracking down all of them may be difficult (not to mention expensive).

Thanks for the information. Those things are a bit ugly though (although I'd get Miss Yukari in an instant).

[jlazar]

There are also capsule figures and keychain SD figures for Azumanga Daioh. I've saw some during my last visit to Japan and on occation when browsing some figure sites (sorry, don't remember which one's off hand). Maybe doing a search on some of the sites in the first post may show them.

I couldn't get complete sets when I was in Japan, so I resisted the urge to get some of these. Just ended up with a cute Sakaki w/biting cat keychain figure.

[Azumangaman]

Well, I found one with Chiyo and Osaka-for 203.00 CDN...
Considering it's not even worth owning, buying it is beyond me..

[Gemini]

Anyone hear about the RAH Blood+ figure coming out. I was checking out www.toyslogic.com (http://www.toyslogic.com) and they have it up for pre-order. I'm just wondering if the RAH figures are worthwhile to collect. If it is I might get them to order the Hazuki one from Moonphase. Also wondering if anyone have any info on this saber figure from Fate/stay.
http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~kaiten/gallery/saber/saber.html

[Gatts]

The Saber is an event only Saber action figure that Spring (http://www.spring-c.com/fate/index.htm) released last August. I've seen it around YJAuctions previously, but I haven't looked for it in a while.

Was it ever available at retailers cuz that is one cool figure. The paint, the sculpt, and the poseability really impressed me and I haven't even seen the series yet.

[Gatts]

As far as I know, both the Saber figure and a SD Rena (http://www.spring-c.com/higurasi/) (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) figure were the event only figures by Spring last year. They should probably be announcing this year's event only figures sometime soon.

I know that sometimes event only figures get re-released to general public, but I'm not sure if they will remake that particular one.

The 13th (In Japan) Vance (http://www.mr-hobby.com/vance/figures/index.html) updated their site. Here is a summary of what is going on in the the Pinky St. world.

First off, the rmPinky's are undergoing a very thorough quality check and to everyone's surprise will not be released this month. &lt;end sarcasm&gt;

RMP01/Mid Aug. Nazuna
RMP02/Mid Sept. Mayura
RMP03/Mid Aug. Kaine

August Pinky Releases:

Standing Yukata
Sitting Yukata

September Releases:

Pinky-Q Rabbit scooter repaint ver.
Pinky Street Kira Kira Music Hour (Nintendo DS game, LE comes with Pucchi figure.)

*The DS game was originally to be released on OCT. 26th according to the game web site anyway...

Fall Release:

PK015 Clothing change set

Also mentioned in the Pinky St. collaboration section of the site is the planned August release of the Animate exclusive Animate Tencho, Player 2 version.

Animate is also running a Pinky St. fair during August where purchasing/preordering over 2000 yen worth of Pinky merchandise at any of their stores during that time will allow you to choose from 4 animate exclusive Dress up Sticker/Seal Sets based around the following themes:

Kira Kira Music Hour
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Strawberry Panic
Captain Animate

Too bad, the Strawberry Panic and KiraX2 ones would be interesting.

Finally, there are plans to once again create an exclusive Wonder Festival Pinky Character for the summer Wonder Fest. (No pictures or details on that one yet though...)

[saeba_ryo]

GSC has updated their product page (http://www.goodsmile.info/product_gsc.html) with the Nov line-ups for GSC and Max Factory. Really happy to see more Tony goodness from Max Factory with the Blancneige figure. Hopefully they'll do the rest of the Shining Tears girls. For those intterested there's also a School Rumble keychain set by Alter coming in Sept.

[super rats]

That Max Factory Youcanalia (http://www.goodsmile.info/max061002.html) (probably nsfw) figure is nice. Have no idea who this character is but I like the figure. The spilled books are a nice touch and adds a lot to it.

One of the things I like about the Blancneige (http://www.goodsmile.info/max061001.html) from Max Factory is that it is a swimsuit figure that has got sand (okay plastic sand) under her feet.

I've been liking the bases Max Factory has been putting under their figures lately.

[kaiyouske]

There's a bit more pictures (Along with a Tony artwork) at the official Shining Tears (http://shining-tears.jp/goods/etc_figure.html#bla) website.

Kikou Majutsushi Enchanter is a Comic GanGan series by Izumi Kawachi. IIRC DMP announced the manga at AX. I like their subtitle of "Wagamama F-Cup Akuma". /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

*edit*

Here is the Square/Enix (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/magazine/wing/newbook/[/url) page for Gangan Wing books. Also here is the DMP page (http://www.dmpbooks.com/titles?n=58) for the manga, although it doesn't really say much. I wouldn't be surprised if this one got an anime eventually.

[super rats]

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out, it's sometimes nice to know what the characters are when buying these figures.

[Nfcpm]

Anyone else see the nice figure update there. I hope this is just a sign of things to come.

With coupons and got anime discout plus free shipping they could start stealing my business from hobbylink.

Nah, they are only doing US release figures so they can't really steal business from HLJ. They could steal business away from other companies doing US release figures like Toylet, Twin Moons, Entertainment Earth, eStarland, Big Bad Toy Story, etc... but not places like HLJ, Hobby Search, and Amenbo which deal in Japanese release figures.

Plus isn't the free shipping only on Media Mail items? Figures can't be shipped media mail, so the free shipping shouldn't apply.

I will add Rightstuf to the list on the initial post though.

Well, I've ordered a plush from them before with free shipping, and it was shipped priority mail. I just did a quick checkout experiment and didn't have any problem selecting free shipping for some of the new figures.

[jlazar]

Are you sure the new figures added today are just US releases and not imports? The new ones are quite varied and quite a number of different manufacturs are listed.

No photos on them, unfortunately.

[Nfcpm]

Also the release dates seem to match up with Hobbylink for the few I checked.

Yup. They are all figures distributed by AAA Anime (http://aaaanime.com/). Also check the release dates. For example Peace@Pieces Hikaru:

You won't find non-AAA figures on Rightstuf for example Koyori:

I'm sure you can remove them. That was the whole point of the original resin statue. Although the resin statue had two poses, while the PVC only has one.

what rightstuf did was right to list the maker and not the US distributor, like people list the makers of the FF toys as Square-Enix rather than their distributors such as Diamond Comics or Kotobukiya.

[littleharlock]

Haven't seen those mentioned yet so:

• More Rozen Maiden figure goodness from Yujin. The next one in the SR DX line is Suigintou (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails.asp?Bno=&amp;It_c=10050397&amp;Typ1_c=101&amp;Typ 2_c=102&amp;Typ3_c=451&amp;Spage=1&amp;SC=0&amp;app_url=yoyaku101. asp) in September 2006 (click on the little pic to view the figure image in full size).
Hopefully the guys/gals at Yujin are going to consider a Barasuishou figure as well ^_^"

• Good Smile Company announced a *very* lovely PVC figure of Caren Ortensia (http://www.goodsmile.info/gsc061001.html) from Fate/hollow ataraxia. Titled Prologue Ver. I guess that means we're getting more than this one? Heck and here I was thinking the Caren released by Alter would be the only one that tempts me enough to break in and place an order for it -.- Oh before I forget, this Caren is slated for October as well.
Now a Bazette PVC would be lovely IMO.

so far

[saeba_ryo]

I saw this on Kotobukiya's blog a couple weeks ago but it should be up for preorder soon, a very healthy Tama-nee (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/59903).
Just saw this today as well. Some more figure previews for your viewing pleasure.

I was hoping to be able to get a nice Cagalli figure at some point. Couldn't ask for a better version than her in an evening gown. Can't wait to see a finished picture. Also, is that Midori from My-Hime in the 3rd picture at the bottom left??

[Jumbo]

Yup, It seems to be based on the Manga/Comic depiction of her though still nice.

The Wonda and Reset (Wonderfests mascot characters) cosplaying Asuka and Rei from Eva are probably my faves out of all those. (gotta love Mine Yoshizaki's Eva designs.) ^_^ Hope they see a retail release.

[kaiyouske]

The Natsuki Robe figure looks pretty sweet.....

[gpn]

I don't know if any of this is common knowledge or not, but here's some figure news (to me at least) that I've picked up at Comic-Con.

- For those that missed out on the Alter Kos-Mos (like me /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif ), aaaanime will be releasing a domestic version in Feb. 2007.

- There is going to be domestic releases of the Konami Negima figures, and the Figumate figures in the Fall.

- A new figure company, UArt, is going to be releasing some awesome looking Hellsing figures. The one that's approximately 12" tall of Alucard standing over some kind of demonic something-or-other with his hair flying all over, really must be seen. The larger Seras with Harkonen looks quite nice as well.

You also forgot to mention that Toynami will be releasing the Megahouse Bleach Figures. I hope they'll pick up the Potrait of Pirates as well.

One other thing is that Kotobukiya now has a US page for the Koto Club. I forget the URL now, but I'll be sure to check it out again tomorrow.

Organic had a lot of the Revoltech figures on sale. My friend got the Getter Robo and they were raffling off tickets to win a glow in the dark Eva 01.

Of course the best figures in the UArt booth were the Yuji Shiozaki resins which were, of course, not for sale. /images/graemlins/sad.gif

Anyone else purchase the Palm Characters set of Rozen Maiden Traumend figures? I'm kind of disapointed in them. The parts do not fit together very well and I still haven't figured out how to put the mirror together.

The 1st season mini figure set that came in the suit case (forgot which company put those out) did a much better job on them vs. the Palm Character set.

Also does anyone know if there is a chance for a reissue of the SR DX Suiseiseki figure? My Rozen Maiden figure buying all started because I wanted a full size Suiseiseki figure /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[Gatts]

I already had the Disgaea sets when N1 was selling them on their website. I wasn't too interested in the Rozen figurs though. I did like that one table that was selling all of thos resin figures. He has the Musashiya Ruri, the Volks Cutey Honey, and a couple of Ryomu Shimei 1/6 resins at decent prices.

Gatts, You've just made my day. Heck, you've brightened up my entire month. I can finally replace my horribly bootlegged Renji (http://forums.zero-type.com/viewtopic.php?t=261) I got duped into purchasing. And I absolutely agree, I hope they release the POP figures as well.

[Gatts]

I asked today and Toynami won't be releasing the POP figures. They stated that Mattel had the One Piece toy license. Unfortunately no one at the Mattel booth even knew what I was talking about when I asked them about One Piece. They were selling some Naruto figures.

The Kotobukiya us site is
http://www.kotous.com/

You can register on the site for the Koto Club to get Kotobukiya news and information as it comes out.

Besides Final Fantasy stuff, Koto was selling their limited edition Sera-chan figure which has blonde hair. I personally like the colors on the regular edition better so I didn't bother picking up the LE version (I already have the regular edition ordered).

LE Version (http://www.kotous.com/anime-manga/shunya-yamashita/comicon-version.php)
Regular verion (http://www.kotous.com/anime-manga/shunya-yamashita/sera.php)

I'll put up some pictures of the different figures from the booths later when I get a chance to edit them.

That's good to know. Maybe I can finally get the Matsumoto that HLJ seems to have run out of (even though I preordered the same day the listing showed up). They haven't flat out cancelled my order yet, however.

I've also purchased the set, but I'm still waiting for them to arrive. It's disappointing to hear the set doesn't seem very well made. I have to agree that the 1st season set is very well done. I was hoping the Palm characters set would be just as good. I'll try to post my experiences with the set once I get mine in.

[Rhodes]

I have 2 outstanding orders with Amenbo.

My cc has been charged way back in May and still no shipment from them.

one includeds the 1/60 macross zero fighter from yamato... i can probably order that from HLJ now.

how much of a problem and hassle is it to cancel the orders and get a refund to my cc... any hidden fees?

probably have to eat something due to exchange rates and difference in yen vs dollar since the charges went thru.

[saeba_ryo]

It looks like Orchid Seed is puttiing out their version of Ignis. The big difference from the others( GSC, Alter, Kaiyodo) is that Orchid Seed's version has some nipple action. Obviously the pics (http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=298325) are NSWF.

Finally the original Ignis figure is getting a completed release. I only wish they had done it in resin instead of PVC. Their cold cast resin models look much better than most PVC models. I guess I can still track down the original kit version and ask someone to put it together for me, but I didn't expect Orchid Seed to go the PVC route. Then again, I should have seen it coming since the made a PVC of their Kanu Uncho figure as well.

Wait, isn't Tetsudo Musume for female staffs on various railroad companies in Japan?

I know ANA (http://www.astyle.jp/defaultMall/categoryshop/figure/sitemap/CSfLastGenGoodsPage_001.jsp?GOODS_NO=115872&amp;IMG_RO OT=/defaultMall/categoryshop/figure) is selling a set of figures of their flight attendents. It was quite popular in Japan when it was first released. I'm not sure if there are similar figure sets for other airlines.

I've known about the Haruhi Figumate figurines for about a couple of weeks now, but this is the first time I heard about Ichigo Mashimaro.

While I'm still up in the air when it comes to Ichigo Mashimaro, I definitely have plans to pre-order the Haruhi set.

If you wish to cancel with Amenbo, you send an email through their contact us form located at:
http://www.amenbo.com/cgi-bin/members/inquery-e.cgi

include the order number and the item number of the item that you want to cancel.

I've cancelled two things from them, one refunded back to the original credit card. The other one was ordered with a credit card that had already expired so they sent me the following email:

[ QUOTE ]
Dear customer

Thank you very much for placing order with us.

We could not refund the balnce of cancelled item on
order XXXXXXXX to you credit card. The refund process
didn't work with your card.

So, we deduct cancel item 6120yen and balance shipping 1100yen
total 7220yen from order total of YYYYYYYY.

If you have any questions, please contact at
order@amenbo.com

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Sincerely
AMENBO TOJ

[/ QUOTE ]

So basically, if they can't refund the money back to the original credit card, they will either deduct it from another open order or apply it to your account in credit. Otherwise you can send them new information on where to refund the amount.

Yes, this Haruhi figure is probably the collective wet dream of the Internet at the moment.

It's a custom-built figurine. The artist is planning on selling 200 of them, from what I can gather:

200 is probably a normal number for resin garage kits sold at hobby cons. If it's sold well the sculptor may try to get permission to sell another batch at a later con. Be prepared to pay at least double the original selling price on Yahoo auction if you would like to get one. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

[Edible]

What do custom resin kits usually go for? I know several people (myself possibly included) that would be willing to shell out large amounts of money for that, prepainted or no. The issue is getting it in the first place.

If you don't mind and are able, would you take some photos of the bootlegs you have. I'm trying to compile more information on them. And I'm just a little curious to see if they suffer from similar recasting problems.

Also, I've seen further pictures from the SD Comic Con show held this past weekend of the Toynami booth. They had all of the PVC figures except Renji ( I really hope they just didn't have one to display of Renji) on display. The card sitting next to the Megahouse figures stated a 2007 release for them. They also had images of some of the various trading figures released in Japan. They're apparently getting a US release as well.

You can see the images here (http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=45524).

[AmusedObserver]

I took a look at the offerings for figs at TRSI, and I'm not convinced that they'll be able to get enough stock of whatever they're listing. For that reason, I won't order any figs through them until I'm convinced otherwise.

Another Vance update, which leads to more delays and some new news as well.

August:

Pinky:Cos Captain Animate 2 Player Version - (Currently Available as an animate store exclusive)
Wonder Festival Exclusive Pinky (Looks quite a bit like the GoFa Pinky)

Sept. releases

Pinky:Cos Ukata standing/sitting versions - 9/11
rm:Pinky Natsuna - Middle of Sept.
rm:Pinky Mayura - End of Sept.
Pinky:Q Rabbit Scooter - Repaint Version (no specific date)

Oct. releases

rm:Pinky Kaine - Mid. Oct.
Pinky St. Kira-kira Music Hour DS game - Oct 26th (The website corrected their mistake from the previous update and release date I had posted)

November~December

Looks like they are planning to re-produce some of the previous figures. No real details on which ones, etc.

It also appears they are planning a new Pinky to release (maybe just announce?) in December.

Finally, the PK015 Clothing Accessory package has been changed to an end of fall/early winter release.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that they are planning on selling the Yukata Pinky's at Wonderfestival and purchasing 2 or more Pinky items at the booth there they will give you a special cat mask (for the Yukata Pinky's) that will not be sold in stores.

I found some new pics of the upcoming MP-3: Starscream:

http://www.e-hobby.co.jp/cgi-bin/omc?&amp;port=33301&amp;req=PRODUCT&amp;code=mp_03

Looks like they changed a bit of Starscream's color scheme and they are emphasizing his jet mode. Hopefully, his robot mode won't look too clunky.

Also, it's been confirmed that the pilot in the cockpit will be the mad scientist, Dr. Arkeville (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Arkeville), from the tv series!

I'm not sure, but it might be this one (http://www.figure.fm/post/3804/Suzumiya%20Haruhi/).

That one's a garage kit that was released at the last World Hobby Fest weekend before last. Doesn't entirely rule it out, but make it less likely.

[Gatts]

Not sure. I'll look it up when I have some time.
You can see some of the ones from WHF24 here (http://ruriruri.moe-nifty.com/gareki/cat6230934/index.html)

[AmusedObserver]

I just checked Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/) website. No mention of Haruhi yet. /images/graemlins/relief1.gif

[Rhodes]

More than likely an error on AAA site which RS ported over to their listings...

http://www.aaaanime.com/cat.asp?view=item&amp;code=4580178490439

Read what AAA Anime has to say about this figure.

Reads like a mistake to me.

And given that the JP Website of the maker has no mention of the figure in question...

[Perfect_Cell]

Not sure if these two were mentioned.

Eureka (http://animenation.com/grf003.html)

Talho (http://animenation.com/grf004.html)

I really am digging the Eureka figure, though I wonder what the "Pre-order cutoff date: August 14" means. This is the only Eureka figure I could find.

Solid Theater normally does a flyer announcement before they update their website. If the flyer went out in the past week, you would see the update on their website by the next week. The release date shown on RightStuf is for December and Solid Theater only has up to November listed so far.

Of course if it is a Japanese release in December, the US release probably won't make it out until January or February.

*edit*
I looked around at a few of the japanese figure boards that I normally lurk at and I haven't found anything yet so I guess an official release announcement hasn't been made.

Most of the talk on the boards was about the Tsukasa Bullet PVCs that Megahouse is putting out and Kotobukiya's November line up. The only Solid Theater talk was about some Loli figures for Comic Rin and Hinakan-Hi!

Honestly I think it's just a mistake now that I think about it. The November release from Solid Theater is Kamisaka Haruhi (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/product/haruhi_1.html) from Happiness. Maybe they mixed up this Haruhi and Suzumiya Haruhi.

[super rats]

Max Factory needs to pick up that BUBBA_Haruhi, since they seem to like making PVCs from BUBBA. The BUBBA_Robot girl in that WHF24 link is also really nice.

Here's something that's just so wrong. It's the japanese-packaging for Binaltech redneck-Prime (dodge srt), or Convoy as they call him in Japan:

Dec line up for Max Factory and GSC has been announced. Check out the redesigened GSC product page (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/product_index.html) for more info.
Speaking of Max Factory and GSC this (http://www.akibablog.net/archives/2006/08/etc_73.html) looks like a preview for their WF line up. Anybody know who the figures are. The obvious ones are Shinku of Rozen Maiden (bottom left) and Manaka from To Heart2.

Arin (http://www.pangya.jp/arin_strikes/arin.aspx) from the Korean online golf game Pangya (http://www.pangya.com/) is the blue one.

The uncolored one above Shinkuu looks like Iroha from Samurai Spirits, but I'd need to get a better look. I'm not sure about the Maid or the one next to Arin.

Sure there are plenty of fanservice maids that have long dresses.

Could be Roberta from Black Lagoon since it looks like she has twin tails, but there are lots of fanservice maids with long dresses.

It was part of the CM Works C3xHobby event only (http://www.cmscorp.jp/infomation/event.htm) (scroll down the page a bit) figures. Released 20/8/2005 for 3000 yen each. I see them pop up on YJAuctions for 10,000~20,000 yen for both. I'd definitely hold out for the 10,000 yen auctions unless you really want it. If that's the case there's a 20,000 yen auction going on right now.

It's by Atelier Sai so most likely the red version will get a domestic release in US. However, there's no guarantee it would be cheaper though. PVCs are getting more and more expensive. It's almost like buying resin kits now with that price. /images/graemlins/depresse.gif

hey bud, if you order from HobbySearch, basically you're going to be hit by duty everytime. also, even when ordering 1 or 2 figures, EMS seriously bites into the wallet. when i i ordered SR Yakumo and LE Alvis Hamilton from them, the prices of the figures was decent but, EMS really jacked up the price PLUS i got hit by duty. i now stick with HLJ, much more Canada friendly with shipping cost and i rarely get hit by customs, which is nice /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

I was browsing 2chan, and was curious about this picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/marsh-/Random%20Pics/balalaika.jpg) of everyone's favorite scarred Russian beauty. Also, has a release date been announced for the Revoltech Revy figure?? Can't really resist a figure of her that's fully posable. Any information on either would be greatly appreciated.

[kusanagi-sama]

Here's a couple figures. These will be available in September (no luck trying to find it on a US etailer or AAAAnime)

Mizuki Tachibana (http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=849)
Megumi of Burst Angel (http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=936)

Also, here's a link to a UK store that is selling it: Mizuki @ TokyoToys (http://tokyotoys.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=1585)

Haven't seen it posted yet so here's the first WF report (http://otakugoten.sakura.ne.jp/figure02/200608/20060820wf.html) for everyone. Lots of good stuff to look forward to especially the School Rumble swimsuit figures from Alter.

[super rats]

Yes! A battlesuit Nagi from Alter! /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[Gatts]

Alter had a few good ones. Honey and Clover was unexpected (both the Alter and Kaiyodo ones). The Nagi battlesuit version doesn't look as good as the Hikaru one did. The Type Moon set is looking good.

I didn't know the Caren and Sakura figures from GSC were going to be the same size as the Magic Girl Rin figure. I'm going to have to make some room for them. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

The GaoGaiGar, Mazenkaizer and Twin Drive Godannar look kick ass (to bad there are sold out most places).

Hiyorin hasn't put up there report yet, but it will probably go up on this page (http://www.hiyorin.net/wf06s-report.html) when they finish it.

Too many maid figures to keep track of.

[masterpez]

I'll have to keep an eye out for that Fasalina (Gun X Sword) figure in the second link on the page. Too bad it was only a picture of it, and not the actual figure. Also, it's rare that I actually see a figure of the Major. I need to see a better picture of the one shown on that site.

[Razb]

Hmm...scythe form (http://otakugoten.sakura.ne.jp/figure02/200608/20060820_0803.jpg)? Looks to be swappable (http://www.hiyorin.net/img/c70/exhaust_01.jpg) as well.

[Pelianth]

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!! Link dump! Sorry, I'm not labeling these. Too much effort. The number of Awesome Rozen kits this summer is absolutely astounding. There's an unfinished Souseiseki on the first link that OWNS the one Yujin is putting out.

[littleharlock]

Thanks a bunch Pelianth for the link!!!

While I'm tempted to go for the Suigintou figure by Yujin I totally agree with you (though I hope that with the upcoming release of Genteiban 7 of Rozen Maiden with the lovely Shinku figure we're going to see some more of those figures released with the manga as ltd. edition in future).

Heck while I'm not too much into figure collecting these days I'd give a kidney for the lovely Barasuishou and Kirakishou /images/graemlins/noseblee.gif

so far

Anyone know where I can find more info on this (http://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/5e/43/b8a8b992e608a89cc881edde97316ee5.jpg) ? MSGirl, Gouf Custom, looks like it was designed by Mine Yoshizaki. It's from C3xHobby; I found it on a blog here (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/punimoe666/e/e9364a8cef6e443e40196ed892e7d667) , down near the bottom. It looks like there's a webpage listed for the group, but it doesn't seem to resolve to anything. It's in katakana, as I believe kyaraani.com.

Chara-ani.com It's one of Yoshizaki's gundam girls. He has a few of them in drawing, but that's the first figure I've seen for the series.

[VonEtrigan]

Thanks - I'm not sure I ever would have figured that URL out.

Hmmm. The more I looked at it, I was starting to think it was a custom job, built off one of the Yoshizaki Angel XX figures. I wasn't aware Yoshizaki had done any MS Girls illustrations. After looking, I found a couple Zakus, but that's it.

Most places will probably be selling her for 50~60 which will be equal to the yen price before shipping (7140 yen is currently around 62 USD). So it's not too bad.

A black version and a white version to be exact. The red version is the general release version while the Black and White versions are for Chara-ani. We rarely get the alternate color versions over in the US. For example the Race Queen Tessa figure was only released over here in the yellow version although there were at least 5 color variations in Japan. Although we did get both color versions of the Tandem Twin Lynx girl.

[Rhodes]

black &amp; red up for sale at HLJ.

So maybe only white is the chara special?

I dont know but bunny girls should always be black... otherwise they dont look like playboy bunny girls.

[Gatts]

It seems that even NCS (http://mgrsti3030s.seamlesstech.biz/templates/frmTemplateR.asp?CatalogID=12046&amp;SearchYN=N&amp;subFol derID=165) is getting the Black version. So I guess I can poke around and see if it's possible to get it in America. I still doubt it since we only got one Tessa and one Chidori from Atelier Sai.

BTW, here's the white if you want to special order it:

There's also another Tandem Twin figure on the way. One of his bunny girls IIRC. I'll try really really hard to remember to do this. I haven't been doing regular updates lately.

1) TRSI doesn't make decisions on what Kotobukiya releases in the US. Kotobukiya does.

2) The best way to get Kotobukiya to release something in the US is to contact them. Since they now have a US page (http://www.kotous.com/) it's really easy to contact them and let them know what you want. Failing that you should contact the distributor for most of Koto's stuff, Diamond Comics (http://www.diamondcomics.com/)

3) This figure is well worth the import price. Especially since the domestic price isn't too much cheaper than the import price recently. The only real advantage is shipping unless you are getting Kaiyodo stuff. /images/graemlins/happy.gif
