Last post, I promise. These are the latest announced figures from the last thread so that people don't have to pick and choose the new stuff from the large list above.

Ryomou Shimei Maid version (kit) (http://www.amie-g.jp/Maid-Ryomou.html) - Amie Gran (http://www.amie-g.jp/Maid-Ryomou.html)
This one is a figure kit so it would have to be put together.

Bunny Girl Mikuru Asahina - BFC Pink Version (http://www.atsai.co.jp/page005.html) - Atelier Sai (http://www.atsai.co.jp/)
This is a special color for the Bishoujo Figure Convention (http://www.bfct.jp/).

SRDXSP Tekken 5 Asuka Kazama (http://www.yujin-figure.com/bfc/01.html) - Yujin (http://www.yujin-figure.com/bfc/01.html)
Another bishoujo figure convention exclusive. I might try to track this one down. It would be nice if they had a Jin figure too.

Wave Eri Sachikawa (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63094) - Wave (http://www.hobby-wave.com/)

Wave Mai Tokiha (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-GCF-00000696) - Wave (http://www.hobby-wave.com/)

Wave Tenma Tsukamoto (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63093) - Wave (http://www.hobby-wave.com/)

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Sequel to Angel Chromosome-XX Series 1: A-15 Arael-XX (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63092) - Wave (http://www.gainax.co.jp/goods/angel_xx/index.html)
The next of the XX angel series. Everyone's probably already seen this one though since it's been advertised for a while now on Gainax's site.

Organic OS Idol Win-chan (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64879) - Organic (http://www.organic-f.net/)

Yasumi-chan Series Yasumi-chan Shintaisou Club (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64331) - Kurushima (http://www.kurushima.com/area3/new/218.htm)
This is one of the better looking Yasumi-chan figures IMO.

Ruri Hoshino 16 years old special 2 '06 version (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-GCF-00000689) - Musashiya (http://www.mu6348.jp/hobby.html)

Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl Figure Collection vol. 2 (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63887) - CM's Corporation (http://www.cmscorp.jp/)

Moeyo! Akiba Blog Fee-tan (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64108) - Toys Planning (http://www.h3.dion.ne.jp/~toypla/)

He is my Master Mitsuki Sawatari (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64929) - Toys Planning (http://www.h3.dion.ne.jp/~toypla/)

He is my Master Anna Kurauchi (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64930) - Toys Planning (http://www.h3.dion.ne.jp/~toypla/)
Anna and Mitsuki joining the previously announced Izumi.

Pinky Street Wild Arms Vth Vanguard (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63646) - GSI Creos (http://www.mr-hobby.com/)
I know I'm missing some of the pinky figures that were recently released in my list like the sitting and standing Yukata figure as well as the Robot pinky.

Tandem Twin Leopard Girl Schell (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65039) - Yamato (http://www.yamato-toys.com/)
Color 2. Appears to have a US release coming as well.

SIFEX GANTZ Kei Kishimoto swimsuit version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63539) - Yamato (http://www.yamato-toys.com/)

SIFEX Kei Kishimoto Gantz Suit version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65038) - Yamato (http://www.yamato-toys.com/)
Hmm... last time I read GANTZ, the suit was a full body suit not just a few straps. So calling this the GANTZ suit version is a bit deceptive. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Griffon Kanu Uncho Wet version cold cast (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64343) - Griffon Enterprises (http://www.griffon.co.jp/)

SNK Beach Volleyball Girls Attack (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-GTF-00000115) - MegaHouse (http://www.megahouse.co.jp/)

Ikkitousen vol. 12 LE with Chouun Shiryuu (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64098) - Wani Books (http://www.wani.co.jp/)
I'm not actually sure on how to romanize her name.

Wafudo Ayanami Rei in plugsuit (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64489) - Wafudo Ganguten (http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/hobby/wafudo/)
Very nice looking figure IMO. There's a US release for this one as well. If only it wasn't Evangelion I would probably have pre-ordered it. As it is, I try to limit my Eva figures so I'm still undecided.

GSC Rozen Maiden Shinkuu (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64336) - Good Smile Company (http://goodsmile.info/)
I can't say anything about this one that hasn't already been mentioned in the other thread.

V.I.P. Manaka Komaki (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64337) - Good Smile Company (http://goodsmile.info/)

Marianne-senpai (drill Marianne kick ver.) (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64705) - Kotobukiya (http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/)

To Heart 2 Manaka Komaki Milky One Piece version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64706) - Kotobukiya (http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/)

Kanon Minase Nayuki (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64707) - Kotobukiya (http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/)

Play Stationary Bloomers style (set of 3) (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64000) - Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/work/play/play.html)
At the end of the last thread, Rhodes was asking about the Play Stationary figures. I say check out the Images that AmiAmi has here (http://www.amiami.com/shop/?vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=HOB-FIG-4498H&template=review.html). Obviously they were being very creative with the figure's set poses.

Yamada-ya Tenshi-san (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64022) - Daiki Kougyo (http://www4.big.or.jp/~cyclone/DAIKI/DAIKI.html)

Aria Alice Carol (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65043) - Toys Works (http://www.toys-works.com/)
The next in the Aria series. I kinda screwed this one over since I didn't give her her own thread like I did the other Aria figures, but I guess it doesn't matter much since people who are collecting these figures know to keep an eye out for her.

Metamo Figure Asuka (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/61431) - Bandai (http://www.bandai.co.jp/)
Fanservice figure extreme. Again I'm tempted (like with the wafudo plugsuit Rei), but I'm not sure if I will get it.

Max Factory Suzumiya Haruhi (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64338) - Max Factory (http://www.maxfactory.jp/)
Sold out in a few hours at most locations.

Sekirei Mutsubi (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64883) - Movic (http://www.movic.jp/sekirei/musubi11.html)

Sekirei Miya (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64881) - Movic (http://www.movic.jp/sekirei/miya11.html)

Sekirei Kusano (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64882) - Movic (http://www.movic.jp/sekirei/kusano11.html)
The Sekirei trio comes at a bad time for me. I'll probably only be able to pick up Mutsubi, but I do want all three. /images/graemlins/sad.gif

Rei Ayanami Uniform Version (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-GCF-00000705) - Aizu Project (http://www.aizupro.co.jp/)

Witchblade Masane (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64387) - Orchid Seed (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/others/orchidseed/orchid0702-01.html)

Chichi no E Cover girl (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/products/fin/titinoe/titinoe.htm) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/)
<font color="red">*Adult figure*</font> - Chichi no E is an artbook of women with extremely large chests by Takuya Inoue (http://www.wani.com/art_book/artist/inoue.html). The pose is from the + version. The hair color is off a bit.

Figuremate Suzumiya Haruhi (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63994) - Konami (http://www.konami.jp/th/figure/)

3D Design Ichigo Mashimaro Big Softbi Ana Coppla (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64682) - Happinet Toys (http://www.happinetjp.com/)
BIG. 30cm. It's not as small as the picture makes it seem.

Sadly, I just found out about her yesterday. I'm slow on the news it seems. But, this should make a nice addition to my Sachiel. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Damn! long ass list, too many to chose from. For now just the Megahouse Flay and Meer since I have the other four already. That Orchid seed witchblade is nice, gotta get that and the goth Ryoumu I got preordered already. That white bunny Haruhi is nice too. I can hear my wallet crying already.

I msised this announcement somehow. Frankly, I kinda wish I had this time too. Her face loks horrible. I'm just getting less and less impressed with the changes they've made to the original figures. *is glad she only bought Akari, who arrived yesterday*

Great, now I have to choose buying the 'attitude' figure /images/graemlins/happy.gif from Japan in February (I already have it on order /images/graemlins/happy.gif ), the US in late April for a little more $ (but with shipping from Japan, it might be about even), or hoping I can buy one when I goto Japan in late March (although that trip is still in the planning stages).

Anyone have any idea how limited the Japanese release will be? I guess I can plan to buy one in Japan, but if I don't find one, I can get the US version.

[Jeikobu]

I know this is a figure thread, but I'd really like to find the OOP talking Kero-chan plush from Cardcaptor Sakura (I made a thread (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?Cat=3&amp;Number=1470923&amp;page=0&amp;view=coll apsed&amp;sb=5&amp;o=&amp;fpart=1) about this in the Retail Forum, but after given the advice to try here, I thought what the heck). And if no one can find that, are there any other great Kero-chan plushes? All I've found is on eBay. I checked all of the US and Japan store links in the first post of this thread, but had no luck. (BTW, Play-Asia.com also has figures, if you all are interested)

Can anyone help me out?

[Gatts]

It would be very difficult to find the talking Kero-chan at this point. It was released in 99 IIRC. Figures and dolls don't stay in circulation that long in Japan.

I'll keep my eye out for one, but I don't want to get your hopes up.

[Gatts]

I've been out for a bit so I haven't been able to keep up with the updates on AoD. I'll do much of the catching up now.

Clayz is having something called the Moe-ro Matsuri (http://www.clayz-online.com/maturi2006/clayzmaturi2006.html) in a few days with a few nice cold cast figures which can be viewed on this page (http://www.clayz-online.com/maturi2006/clayzmaturi_cata2006.html). The main one that I'm looking at is a custom figure that looks a like like Karen from Triptych (http://www.alcot.biz/product/triptych/character.html) although there are enough differences that you can call it a different character. The Black Saber PVC is interesting as well.

Other than that here are the recent announcements:

Thanks for the list, as always.

Mikuru Beam! Still, all these leaning, one-foot-attached figures make me nervous.

All the Kanon figures are so ugly.

And what outfit is that for Yakumo? Don't remember that one, but it's been a while. I still wish I hadn't missed the Good Smile figure.

I've seen Evangelion Rei & Misato Moto(rcycle) Riders Figures. Misato is in a black leather zip up suit, unzipped. Rei is in a zip up T-shirt unzipped & is wearing cut off shorts. She is holding a classic pudding bowl helmet. By Sega.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu vol. 4 with Haruhi figure (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65652) - Kadokawa (http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/)


I noticed this figure when they listed it at Mangaoh. (http://www.mangaoh.co.jp/php/data_product.php?i_prd_code=135416) Quite a ways off yet but Kadokawa seems to be doing a pretty good job with their action figure + Manga releases. That and it probably won't be quite as hard to get ahold of when compared to that Max Factory Haruhi.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that they are also including a 3 postcard set with character illustrations done by Noizi Ito herself.

[Gatts]

That and it probably won't be quite as hard to get ahold of when compared to that Max Factory Haruhi.
The Max Factory Haruhi should be quite easy to get ahold of since it has a US release. People just have to be sure to pre-order it.

I missed the brief pre-ordering window at Hobbylink Japan since I sleep at night (checked at 0130, then at 0745). There are times that I hate the Pacific time zone.

I placed an order for the figure with RightStuf this afternoon. /me crosses fingers.

Hot damn. Another bish figure. January's getting to be an expensive figure month...

Oh and the correct spelling for the character's name is "Thor".

Thanks, fixed. Thor is much better than Toll which is what GSC's page was showing. Obviously I didn't think that one was right. :)

[Gatts]

Since it seems a few people missed the US release Haruhi announcement, I think now is a good time to review some of the upcoming US release figures. I'm mainly going off of Yamato USA and AAA Anime since those are the easiest ones to check.

Kotobukiya, Organic, and UART don't really have user friendly websites.

I guess I should sign up for KotoClub (http://www.kotous.com/koto-club.php) for Kotobukiya news, but I'll just stick to looking out for their previews listings for now. Heck previews has to be more up to date than their website since their "upcoming" page only shows up to November 2006 (considering it's less than 24 hours to December...)

Organic, I have a hard time keeping track of. I normally just check the updates on Collection DX (http://www.collectiondx.com/taxonomy/term/111) and Figures.com (http://www.figures.com/).

UART/Broccoli hasn't really announced much since the Hellsing figures. Hopefully they are still on track for the Comic Gum Ikkitousen figures (http://www.comicgum.com/topics_0701zensa.asp) and Diana and Morte (http://www.akibablog.net/archives/2006/11/etc_140.html) which they were showing at San Diego Comic Con.

Now that that's out of the way...

Another FYI is that most of the Creators Labo series are being released in the US. Most of the SIF-EX and Tandem Twin statues are as well. The Gantz SIF-EX figures and the Honey and Clover Creators Labo figures haven't been announced yet, but I think the chances are really good for the Gantz figures. I think the Honey and Clover figures might make it over in a limited fashion like Simca and the Tsukasa Bullet Sound Pretty statue. As for the other Tandem Twin color varients... well you might want to email Yamato, but I don't think they will be released at this point.

I guess I should have made a bigger fuss. Heh.

This (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/GZj8QKxBCUWywz=Q5m/browse/item/71338/4/0/0) seems to indicate otherwise.

For those who haven't had enough of Arin from the online gold game Pangya, here is yet another figure for her:

Pangya Transparent Series vol. 1 Arin normal ver (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66012) - Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/product/panya_1.html) (white)
Pangya Transparent Series vol. 1 Arin Miyazawa ver (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66012) - Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/product/panya_2.html) (black)

There is also a special color available on Moekei.com (http://www.moekei.com/special/arin_figure3.html). (purple)

More pictures here (http://ga.sbcr.jp/news/0612/001/index.html).

Also there is a repaint of the Goth Loli Kanu Uncho by Orchid Seed:
Kanu Uncho Ama Loli Alice version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66038) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/products/fin/ikki/kanGothA/kanGothA.htm)

I'm a bit upset because I really like this light blue color more than the original black color, but I already have the black version on order so I'm a bit reluctant to purchase this version as well. :(


For those that are high on the dolls that have been released recently there's a new 1/6th scale Lum Doll (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66021) (Urusei Yatsura for those that don't follow the "old" anime)

For those who haven't had enough of Arin from the online gold game Pangya, here is yet another figure for her:

Pangya Transparent Series vol. 1 Arin normal ver (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66012) - Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/product/panya_1.html) (white)
Pangya Transparent Series vol. 1 Arin Miyazawa ver (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66012) - Solid Theater (http://www.solidtheater.co.jp/product/panya_2.html) (black)



You don't have any idea if you can get a figure of the Pangya girl (It might be Arin, I'm not too familiar with the Pangya girls yet) in the goth costume w/ the black and white knee highs?
I've been looking for ages and have been unsuccessful unfortunately :sad:

[DiGiKerot]

Thats Kooh, and unfortunately for you its been and gone (http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS07566), though there is a varient colour (http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS25009) coming soon.

[Gatts]

I remember seeing the original Kooh in stock some place about a week ago. If only I can remember the store that had it...

*edit* Found it.

It was Amazon Japan (http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000FN30GS) and they don't ship to the US. If you want to special order it, you can find it on many sites like Hobby Stock (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-GCF-00000302) or Yahoo Japan auctions and Moekei. Of course you can always email HLJ or your preferred import figure place and see if they can order one for you.

The other non-Arin Pangya figure that has been released is Erika (http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS25008) which is still available at almost every Japanese store except for the ones that ship to the US. :P

[kusanagi-sama]

In regards to the Witchblade Masane here: http://www.collectiondx.com/node/1223
The page has an interesting quote:
“Please do not bend over the way she does it, otherwise you may end up falling face first on the floor.”

Anyway, all the Witchblade figures are really nice. I wish I could afford to buy these, but at the moment (until May 2007), I am buying parts for a new computer.

[Hakaisha]

Also there is a repaint of the Goth Loli Kanu Uncho by Orchid Seed:
Kanu Uncho Ama Loli Alice version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66038) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/products/fin/ikki/kanGothA/kanGothA.htm)

I'm a bit upset because I really like this light blue color more than the original black color, but I already have the black version on order so I'm a bit reluctant to purchase this version as well. :(

Man, I know how you feel when a cool repaint comes out. But I still really like the black version :bignosebleed:

[Hakaisha]

Ignis (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/60068) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/) *Adult Figure*
Goth Loli Ryomou Shimei (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/products/fin/ikki/ryomo-goth/ryomoGoth.htm) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/)


I'm really looking forward to picking up this Ignis version, but damn this Ryomou has got to be my favorite figure I've come across this year :evil:

[Gatts]

Man, I know how you feel when a cool repaint comes out. But I still really like the black version :bignosebleed:


It's the flowers on the dress, the stripped stockings and the darker hair color that make me like the Alice version a bit more than the Goth version.

Thanks guys. Pity about the low availability but I'll maybe hold out for the alternative colour that Digi linked to at HLJ.
So I take it she doesn't come in this outfit (http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/3493/93212820061103screen030do2.jpg)? (you can't see her bottom half though :sad: I'm sure I seen a full pic somewhere so I'll try and find it)
That's the one I was originally referring to but tbh I'll take what I can get :)

I'll be playing the game in a few days on the Wii anyway so I can dress her up anyway I want then but a figure would be nice too.

EDIT: Got it, bottom right girl in this pic (http://www.4gamer.net/specials/swing_golf_pangya_sp/001/img/chara.jpg). Any chance of there being a figure of that outfit?

[Gatts]

Hmm, sorry, I'm not aware of any in that outfit. The others ones I've seen are:

No problem dude, I appreciate the help.

Yesterday I received my monthly book grouping and was flipping through some of my stuff when I noticed I had Figure Maniacs volume 22 (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi01.jpg). Now I'm happy I was able to get it since it appears to be sold out everywhere. Well after flipping through it, I found out why.

It appears that FM22 has a mail away offer for a couple of figures. The first one is for this Natsuki figure (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi02.jpg), but the main attraction is on this page (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi03.jpg) where in the lower right corner you will see this text (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi04.jpg) for an offer on a PVC version of Bubba's Haruhi :surprised: :) :D :cool: :frog:

Now it's time for me to try to get this to someone in Japan to purchase this for me.

[Mazinkaizer]

Finally figures for me to get for 1 of my favorite old school shows (other than the Jumaro one that came with the R2 set).

Now 13,500 yen for a PVC version seems a bit expensive, but on the flip side, you won't be able to find a legitimate version of the kit anywhere.

Now it's time for me to try to get this to someone in Japan to purchase this for me.

That's the best Natsuki figure out yet! It's mail order only though? bummer...

[Rhodes]

you know its times like this I wish I knew some folks in JP who can help with things like this... I am sure they dont ship outside of JP so no way I can get that figure direct... resale will be well over 200 before ship.

[littleharlock]

While it's been announced for a while (and pictures of the figure released a while ago (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1427306&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&vc=1), Shueisha *finally* did give the (by fans long anticipated) 5th Tankoubon for Kei Toume's Yesterday wo Utatte (serialized in Business Jump) a definite release date. Instead of the 2006 summer release date as originally announced the limited edition of Tankoubon 5 that comes with a lovely Takeshi Miyagawa (http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/tssystem/) done figure of Nonaku Haru will be released on 19th April 2007 for 3,714 Yen excl. tax. Amazon.jp has it already up for pre-order here (http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/408908055X/sr=1-58/qid=1165257306/ref=sr_1_58/250-6547454-7550616?ie=UTF8&s=books).

*So* can't wait for some Kei Toume figure goodness ^_^

[Gatts]

Too bad no pictures :sad: if anyone has a link to them i would really appreciate it :)

You can see the uncolored figures on this page (http://www.f-net.ne.jp/cl/romando/newinformation.html) below the Ring ni Kakero figures. Also if you search for プラレス３四郎, you should be able to find it.

Oh and for those interested, there's a mockup for a Comet-san action figure and a Ashita no Nadja action figure on that page.

Thanks bro, they look very nice (even w/o the colors) so i am surly getting them :) i hope they release the other fighters' figures later. I surly wouldn't mind ones for the characters too :)

I thought it was a Kit that was for sale not a complete/painted PVC figure.

[Gatts]

I thought it was a Kit that was for sale not a complete/painted PVC figure.



This page (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi05.jpg) says it's PVC.

*correction* it's not. I just need to "read" instead of skim. :nervous:

[Gatts]

For those that wanted in on the Japanese release of Haruhi from Max Factory, there's a new order being placed for June at most of the normal places. Hobby Search (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=&It_c=10053273&Typ1_c=101&Typ2_c=102&Typ3_c=344&Spage=1&SC=0&app_url=yoyaku101_e.asp).

Also a few of you may remember me mentioning a dojin figure project about four or five months ago where the objective was to make gel filled beasts for extra softness. Well, images of the completed version of the figure are up on the site now (http://tenra.net/keumaya/index.htm) *NSFW* It looks much better than I thought it would.

Last for those that liked the Vice GITS Motoko figure, there's more of her on the way according to this ad (http://images.desturel.com/figures/ads/vice_01.jpg) as well as some new Murata stuff in time for Wonder Fest.

Last for those that get the Art of War Berserk Figures, here are the December releases.

Puck (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66166)
Behelit (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66167)

You can find them at Hobby Stock (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/KeyReference_right_e.asp?Typ1_c=101&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=Art%20of%20War) if you wish to purchase them.

[Gatts]

There's a special figure coming out Uran-chan (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66081) by Lashin Bang (http://www.lashinbang.com/uran/). Looks nicely done, but not exactly my style of figures so I'm going to pass on it. You can find more images on Brilliant Cut (http://www113.sakura.ne.jp/%7Ecarat/sinsaku-uran.htm).

I believe a few of you might already know about the Nekoarc Hand Puppet (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66158), but I'll list it anyway. :)

A new trading figure set from Megahouse, Special Secret Masterpiece Daisakusen - Majo Stick 12 vol. 1 (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65725).

I know I listed these Kotobukiya figures with the American release list, but I didn't think to include them with the Japanese release date. I'm correcting that now.

Da Capo II: Otome Asakura (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66162)
Utawarerumono Aruru (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66161)
Yuzuhara Konomi Frill Tube Top (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66160)
DOAXVB2 Kasumi (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66163)

Movic is releasing a Kamio Misuzu (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66175) figure.

Last, Bandai is releasing the second group of the Girls Uniform (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64472) figure set.

Oh and Amiami put up a gallery for the Orchid Seed Ignis (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/60068) figure. It appears that you can choose between top on and topless. A nice option for those that wouldn't have bought the figure otherwise.

That's about all I have for now, so Santa Chopper waves goodbye. (http://hobby-channel.net/content/view/1956/69/)

[fantasydewdrop]

Also a few of you may remember me mentioning a dojin figure project about four or five months ago where the objective was to make gel filled beasts for extra softness. Well, images of the completed version of the figure are up on the site now (http://tenra.net/keumaya/index.htm) *NSFW* It looks much better than I thought it would.

How'd they do that? Might be interesting to try that technique on other body parts....

They have an extremely... illustrated blog with their planning process.

BTW, consider all links NSFW

Page 1 (http://blog.livedoor.jp/keumaya/archives/cat_50003525.html?p=1)

Read from the bottom of page 2 to the top of page 1.

Also there is this page (http://tenra.net/keumaya/FIGURE.html) with even more image instructions.

Since I have a bit of a headache right now, I won't be any good for translating the information. (I can't even think in english right now... the UK variety not the US one since I don't need to think about that one. ;) )

Instead of the 2006 summer release date as originally announced the limited edition of Tankoubon 5 that comes with a lovely Takeshi Miyagawa (http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/tssystem/) done figure of Nonaku Haru will be released on 19th April 2007 for 3,714 Yen excl.

There are some additional images up on Shueisha's site (http://www.shueisha.co.jp/s-book/yesterday/com/) for people that wanted a few more angles. Figure Maniacs 22 and Replicant 26 also have these images.

[fantasydewdrop]

There was a Black Cat figure released that had a similar "action feature" for lack of a better term. I was always curious about how well it really works, but I think I'm too scared to find out.

[Pelianth]

Movic is releasing a Kamio Misuzu (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66175) figure.
Ugh. What IS with the horrible face paint on the movic figs?

Eh, I can't read enough Japanese to read the site, but Google Translator mentioned factories in China and silicone many times. Did he go to China and have the bust custom done there?
Hmm, with some Foam Latex and something to make a mold out of, and a little paint/makeup, one could do that in one's own home for far less than it would cost to go to China and get the silicone molded.

[Nork22]

Also there is a repaint of the Goth Loli Kanu Uncho by Orchid Seed:
Kanu Uncho Ama Loli Alice version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66038) - Orchid Seed (http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/products/fin/ikki/kanGothA/kanGothA.htm)

I'm a bit upset because I really like this light blue color more than the original black color, but I already have the black version on order so I'm a bit reluctant to purchase this version as well. :(
God dammit. Guess I'll go buy me another Kanu figure to pray to.... :tired:

Quick Toys Works update since I've been sitting on them for a while.

Solid Works Kusuha Mizuha (SRW Alpha 3 version) (http://www.toys-works.com/news/archives/2006/12/post_3.html)
Solid Works Selena Restall (http://www.toys-works.com/news/archives/2006/12/post_3.html)

and

As for the "others" part, there's the Max Factory Guyver (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66317) action figure that looks cool. An upcoming Epoch Imari (http://hobby-channel.net/content/view/1944/68/) that's looking promising and a NSFW Ikusa Otome Valkyrie (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66357) figure for those that collect the Gigapulse figures.

Given how it says "Lagumate" instead of "Figumate", the Black Lagoon figurines are not real.

[saeba_ryo]

Surprized that noone has posted it yet but Alter has announced its April line-up. (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/product_index.html) Both the Rider and Masane figures are looking good.

Oh and a quick question for those that have the Mahoro biker figure, what are the gold stickers for. Are they to cover the screws that hold the bike frame together?

[super rats]

I'm not that keen on this Rider figure, but I'll probably order it.

That Masane figure is very nice. The jeans are astounding.

[Gatts]

Surprized that noone has posted it yet but Alter has announced its April line-up. (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/product_index.html)

Sorry, I was busy getting over the shock and amazement at Alter's website redesign (http://www.alter-web.jp/). Why take a really nice website and make it flash? Somethings just should not be done.

[Gatts]

Well, if this isn't just a swift kick in the 'nads. I'm flipping through the Previews website when I see Kotobukiya is releasing the Mahoro w/ sports Motorbike (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/34_mahoro.htm) figure stateside.

Now I did purchase it on the first release so it's not as bad for me, but what about the people who just ordered the recent release? They are going to wait until after people in the US order and import it to announce it.

Oh well, I shouldn't be upset about that, but I am.

For other, less aggravating announcements we have

Yomiko Readman (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/35_rod.htm) (the PVC version this time)
Some of the To Heart figures (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/37_toheart2.htm) including the Tamaki Frill Bikini figure that was released last month in Japan, but none of the alternate colors... yet.
Bome 19 Isoroku Yamamoto (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/39_bome_sengoku.htm) (surprise surprise)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/41_ems_higurashi.htm)
Queens Blade Echidna and Yumiru (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/42_ems_queensblade.htm) (this one is a surprise since they didn't release the other ones over here)
Asuka, school uniform version (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/31_nge_asuka.htm)
Rei, party dress version (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/32_nge_rei.htm)
Shunya Yamashita Mirei-san (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/33_mirei_san.htm)

I notice they've dropped some of their previous releases as well. Both the Alvis fig and the Last Exile trading set are gone. (The trading set wasn't released too long ago even.) Either way, the new website really sucks.

[Dagger]

I'm not that keen on this Rider figure, but I'll probably order it.

That Masane figure is very nice. The jeans are astounding.
Witchblade figures must be selling well for various companies to be churning out so many of them. :surprised: Does this mean that the series as a whole was successful? Well, either way, it's a great-looking figure.

[kaiyouske]

Man those SRW figures are finally going to come out. I had thought that they were going to cancel them...

[Gatts]

Since this is the lull before the "Wonderful Hobby Life" storm, I guess I should take this time to post some minor tidbits that I've been too lazy to post about over the last week.

Well, that doujin figure that I've been posting about for the past couple of months is on pre-order at Tora no Ana (http://www.toranoana.jp/shop/061223keuma/061223keuma.html). NSFW

If anyone wants to get it, I suggest putting in your preorders through your favorite deputy service. Masato and Tokyo Hunter can probably do it although I'm sure there are others.

Clayz is advertising a new Ryomou Shimei (http://ga.sbcr.jp/g-toys/clayz2/03/index.html) figure. In her maid outfit no less. I know there were a few people looking for a figure of her in her maid outfit, so there you go. The black limited edition has pictures up on Amiami (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66797), but the Blue version should be up other places soon.

The next Yamashita figure after the Mirei-san (http://www.aaaanime.com/cat.asp?view=item&code=699788713402) one appears to be this Rossana (http://shunlog.blog67.fc2.com/blog-entry-112.html) by Movic. Looking nice. Much better than Mirei at least in my opinion. For those that build kits, there's a nice one coming out from Cerberus Project (http://hompy.jocoso.jp/album.nwz?tmsrl=115623&act=read&aseq=1528850), Emaretta. 22 pieces and 13,000 yen.

For those that collect the Musashiya Ruri figures, there is a Miko Ruri Hoshino (16 yo) (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66795) figure up for preorder.

Demonbane fans might want to check out the Al and Raika (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66690) figure being put out by A-label.

It's been a while, but there is a new Gunslinger Girl collection:
Solid Works Collection DX Gunslinger Girl (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66598)

Two that I'm not convinced on are the new Lilics Onegai Twins figures
Miyafuji Miina (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66659)
Onodera Karen (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66660)

Okay to they are big (30cm), but that's about it. For those that don't know how big a 30cm figure is, you can look at this picture (http://www2.moeyo.com/img/06/12/04/1/152.html) of a 30cm Ana figure next to a 1/6 scale Lum doll and with some 1/8th scale figures in the background.

A better looking figure form Lilics is this upcoming Hot Gimmick figure (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66658) although this one may be a bit under dressed for some.

Two Yujin figures SRDX Midori (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66477) from Zoids and SRDX Anri Mizuki (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/66478) from Maho Shoujo Club are the last ones for now.

[Nozmo]

Original Dirty Pair (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/63095) - Wave (http://www.hobby-wave.com/)

I just got word from Hobby Link Japan that mine is on the way. This one is released and shipping!

WAVE's page with the general information about the model and links to the other DP-related releases in the past month is here (http://www.hobby-wave.com/pickup/DTP/index.html). There is also a report here (http://www.hobby-wave.com/pickup/DTP/report/index.html) with many more pictures and a discussion (in Japanese) of design modifications made between the prototypes and the issued models.

[Gatts]

Of course after I gather up the effort to post an update, less than 24 hours later, GSC updates their website (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/product_index.html).

Well, it's nothing that hasn't been known previously, but I might as well run down the list anyway.

Mao Shingyouji from Frontwing's Boy Meets Girl (http://xoops.frontwing.jp/product/bmg/chara.html#mao) (not to be confused with Kashimashi)
Sumomo Akihime from Nanatsuiro Drops (http://www.softpal.co.jp/unisonshift/products/project13/kobetu_sumo.html) (designs by Noizi Ito BTW and an upcoming anime)

Pachira from Renkin 3-kyū Magical? Pokān (http://www.magipoka.com/charactor/chara_pachira.html)
Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Taisen

Revy (Black Lagoon) has been added to Alter's April lineup. I thought she had been dropped back a month since she wasn't announced with Masane and Rider.

Kaze no Ushiro wo Ayumu-mono from Jingai Makyo (http://www.nitroplus.co.jp/pc/lineup/into_08/special2.html) (you know that game that Ignis comes from. :P )

As for the other non GSC updates, we have:

Masane as Witchblade (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/67171) yet again (this time Tora no ana)
Aizu Project releasing Asuka (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/2590) and Rei (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/2574)
and a Toys Works Shakugan no Shana figure (http://www.toys-works.com/news/archives/2006/12/ver20074.html)

[kymaera]

Hmm....I think Pachira is the one that I'll be most likely to pick up out of that batch. The Sakura reminds me of why I haven't picked up any Sakura Wars figures in ages. All the poses are very recycled and repetitive.

[super rats]

That Gunslinger Girl set is disappointing.

None of the figures in the last two posts jump out as must have items for me. I'll probably wind up getting the Ito based figure, just because. That Rosanna is also a possibility. It's sweet until you look at the hair.

I wish Ryomou's clothes weren't torn, but then it wouldn't be an Ikkitousen figure. I like it quite a bit otherwise.

[J_is_for_Genius]

That Alter Revy is bad ass.

[coyotemalito]

Yomiko Readman (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/jan_07/35_rod.htm) (the PVC version this time)

First, I have to say that R.O.D. is one of my favorite series, and I bought this figure at the Japanese pre-sale, and though I'm not disappointed with the figure (it's on the top of my shelf), I'm surprised that there will be a US release more economic.

I should have waited, shouldn't I?

[Dagger]

That Alter Revy is bad ass.
Indeed. Her non-smoking face doesn't look in character IMO, at least as far as its expression goes, but at least it's not completely off-model.

[J_is_for_Genius]

I didn't even notice the non-smoking face. Yeah, the expression is much better on the smoking one.

[kaiyouske]

That Revy is indeed cool. What's up with the 2 different faces though?

[Gatts]

I should have waited, shouldn't I?


I'm not sure about that. Kotobukiya takes their sweet time in announcing what figures will be released to America or not. Your better off not taking a gamble unless it's a To Heart or Pia Carrot figure.

It's better to decide if you "really" want the figure ahead of time. If you do, then spending the extra money is worth it. If not, then sitting on it for a few months might be worth it.

Of course it also doesn't help that Kotobukiya never updates their US Website (http://www.kotous.com/).

[saeba_ryo]

I don't think I've seen anyone mention these yet so here are a couple more Haruhi figure announcements. First from Bubba, the guy who gave us THE Haruhi figure, comes the the next figure in the series, Yuki. (http://blog.livedoor.jp/saikorokyarameru/archives/50796779.html) And second from Max Factory, comes waitress Mikuru. (http://maxfactory.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2006/12/whf15_61dc.html)

Yuki. (http://blog.livedoor.jp/saikorokyarameru/archives/50796779.html)

[Gatts]

It's the most wonderful time of the year... for figure buyers and model builders (well other than WF). WHF 15. The pictures have started rolling in so if you have a favorite site, be sure to check them out. Well except for the english sites since those will probably take longer to update.

Azusa Miura (http://www.idolmaster.jp/character/06_azusa.html) from The IdolM@ster (anime character page (http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/idolmaster/character/index.html)). The figure is currently scheduled for July.

Well, no. :D

What I really need is to find out who is making this and how can it be ordered. I've seen the other Saber as maid figure, and it's nowhere near as good as this. Sure, the other one may have a chair, but this one's got a mop. And there nothing that says sexier than a French maid outfit and a mop. Oh yeah. :virgin:

[Gatts]

What I really need is to find out who is making this and how can it be ordered.

I apologize if you've already posted this somewhere Gatts but I figured I would throw this out there. (Stupid Ito Noizi fans...) ^_-

Vol. 3 of Dragon Age Pure announced they will be doing a collaboration Ito Noizi x Good Smile Company figure from Noizi's illustrations of the heroine Hachi from the Noizi/Masaki/Shinobu Dragon Age Pure Comic/Novel Bee-be-beat it!

Thanks for the info on that Idol Master figure. The likeness looks to be good. Really looking forward to seeing the colored version of it. Hope they put all the extra room on the 1:6 scale to good use and it looks like they did.

[MrDisco]

Continuning my total 'in the dark' phase when it comes to anime and anime goods, this totally suprised me when I saw it on HLJ by happenstance:

"Soul of Chogokin Spec Evangelion Unit 01"

I'm a HUGE Eva fan so naturally I will be getting this, but my question is - what is it? I have the original SOC Eva-01 figure so is this another repaint? What does 'Spec' mean? Will there be an HK variant? ARgg so many questions.

[Reflection]

I thought it was a Kit that was for sale not a complete/painted PVC figure.



This page (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi05.jpg) says it's PVC.
Hate to let people down, but the page says it's not PVC, but a kit. The first line says it's the kit, and the second says it's not selling as a PVC. It's become a sad fact that Bubba won't let this be released as a PVC figure at all. Hope he changes his mind in the future.

Big Bad Toy Store (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN10945&mode=retail) lists it, but they still have the old release date of December listed on their site. I don't know if they'd actually be cheaper than importing though since it looks liked the bumped up the price a bit.

Heh, I realized it after I posted, but I never went back to correct the post (me = lazy). Since my reading is only mediocre, sometimes I overlook small things. BTW, I went back and edited the post.

Touche.

The ad link you posted is quite helpful. I guess anime-correct colouring is the new thing now days :)
The stripable armour just looks creepy.
I wonder if they'll make a 'crystal' base for this (aka HK variant). I cant remember where i ordered the original ones from.

Hmmm, I'd be interested in the Shinguji Sakura PVC from MF, but the scale on the thing is just small: 1/10(?!). I wonder if that might not be a misprint, but the price would suggest otherwise.

She's really small. Check out this (http://www2.moeyo.com/img/06/12/23/5/503.html) for effect and size between figures. Sakura is the middle row far right.

On the note of Saber in a maid costume, I'm most partial to this Saber figure by Clayz. (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=&It_c=10052061&Typ1_c=101&Typ2_c=102&Typ3_c=366&Spage=1&SC=0&app_url=top_right101_e.asp) Very nicely done! ^^

[Gatts]

A small one, but one I've been waiting on. Tora no ana (Fox Publishing/Fine Scenery) is listing Morte (http://www.foxcomic.com/hobby/fs_morte/index.html) and Diana (http://www.foxcomic.com/hobby/fs_diana/index.html). My only problem is that they will be PVC figures. After all of the press and hype about these resin statues they are doing a PVC. Oh well, I shouldn't be surprised.

What is a surprise is that Musashiya is making a PVC. O.O

I guess I should have known it would come to this eventually, but since Musashiya makes so many cold cast figures, I thought they were exempt from the PVC bug. Guess not. Oh and it's an Iroha (http://www.mu6348.jp/g_iroha04.html) figure although they did downsize it from 1/5th scale on the Resin version to 1/6th scale for the PVC.

I wonder if they will make a PVC out of any of their many Ruri Hoshino figures.

Between that news and Yamato putting out some of Klondike's (http://www.geocities.jp/luvklondike/klondike.html) figures for their Creator's Labo line, I'm happy.

[saeba_ryo]

Was searching around when I found this report (http://www.hobbylife-tv.jp/newswatch/061211-news.html) done by Ryoko Shintani. The early parts of the report showcases early builds of the next figures in MF's Shining Tears series, Ryuna and Mao. Coloured figures will probably appear in the next WonderFest. Can't wait to get more Tony goodness.

Yesterday I received my monthly book grouping and was flipping through some of my stuff when I noticed I had Figure Maniacs volume 22 (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi01.jpg). Now I'm happy I was able to get it since it appears to be sold out everywhere. Well after flipping through it, I found out why.

It appears that FM22 has a mail away offer for a couple of figures. The first one is for this Natsuki figure (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi02.jpg), but the main attraction is on this page (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi03.jpg) where in the lower right corner you will see this text (http://images.desturel.com/figures/maniacs/haruhi04.jpg) for an offer on a PVC version of Bubba's Haruhi :surprised: :) :D :cool: :frog:

Now it's time for me to try to get this to someone in Japan to purchase this for me.


Hey Gatts, would it be possible to get a bit more info on the Haruhi figure regarding the mail order cut off dates, etc. I didn't see that in the text pic you posted anywhere.

I've been pondering options but don't want to bother if I'm too late already. ^^;

Figure Maniacs will stop accepting orders on January 25th. The resin kit will be released sometime in March or April 2007.

There are a few more mail order only figures being released.

Dengeki Hobby the 2/2007 issue has Arika Yumemiya.

Hobby Japan the 2/2007 issue has Motoko Kusanagi and Saber, High school girl version.

[coyotemalito]

Hi there;

I think that this question may sound pretty stupid, but, which is the "ideal height" that a character has, in order to take an scale from that character.

IMO, I think that most (if not all) the characters are based upon an height of about 6 feet (+/- 180 cms.)


BTW, Does anybody know a link to any website where I can have a chart with comparisons regarding the different scales on figures?

I ask this, because sometimes

[Rhodes]

scale is based on the height of the character in question... so since most of these characters are female... i would say their height if 1/1 scale would be between 5'2" to 5'6" tall. shorter for younger girls... taller if she is taller than your average asian female.

[super rats]

It's a funny thing.

When you look at 1/8 scale figure, the ideal height is fairly consistent with a 5' to 5'4" tall girl as the standard making the figure between 7.5 and 8 inches tall.

It gets weird with 1/6 scale figures. Half the manufacturers stick to the 5' tall girl standard giving you a figure that's roughly 10 to 10.5 inches tall.

The other half for some reason decide to make 1/6 figures 12 inches tall, which would mean the actual height of the character is six feet tall. This change in height makes no sense to me. Like GSC's 1/8 Saber is scaled to be 5 feet tall, yet their 1/6 Saber is scaled to be 6 feet tall?

Since the mojority of figures are with the 5' standard, that height is the norm. So, I tend to think of those large 12 inch 1/6 as mislabeled 1/5 scale figures.

[Gatts]

It gets weird with 1/6 scale figures. Half the manufacturers stick to the 5' tall girl standard giving you a figure that's roughly 10 to 10.5 inches tall.

Yeah, GSC's 1/6 is off. Atelier Sai and Clayz tend to be more consistent with their 1/6, but then people buy them and wonder why they are smaller than the GSC version. For example, Rin and Rin (http://images.desturel.com/figures/random/1-6th-example.jpg).

What's the chance (or how soon) will Alter release a second lot of their Fate Testarrosa (http://www.hlj.com/product/ALT20127) figure. Was told a few weeks earlier that I was one of the many that they couldn't fill the order for and I'm not to eager at the moment hunting the Auction sites for a reasonable price.

Right Stuf (http://www.rightstuf.com/aod/4560228201277) (ships international, but requires photographs of your credit card and is expensive shipping from what I understand).

Entertainment Earth (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ALT82012) (crazy expensive shipping $65 - $104.99= $48.95 for international Air (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/help/faq.asp?category=Shipping))

Circle Red (http://www.circlered.com/4560228201277.html) (You have to contact them for shipping rates)

BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ALT10018&mode=retail) (add item to cart, click on view shipping select NZ. They state " USPS Express Mail $29.99 USPS Air Mail - Parcel Post $22.99")

Twin Moons (http://www.tmpanime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1711) (Similar to BBTS. Add to cart, estimate shipping. For NZ it shows 16.85 airmail 25.30 EMS)

I've been wondering what they look like ever since Hobby Search put up the preorder on 11/27. I believe the difference between the style is her skirt colour. I was hesitant to order till I saw a picture so thanks. It's a good likeness & inexpensive so buy!

On another note anyone here know where the best place to sell garage kits might be? I bought several back when I thought I could get into it & now want to sell a few (http://angelvoice.net/anime/image/garagekits.jpg). Mainly the ones that have a PVC equivalent.

[Rhodes]

does anyone know anything about them...

do they just sell complete kits that they finish?

or are those just recasts?

or unfinished kits/recasts?

[youth]

Anyone know more about this set of girls? It hasn't shown up on the HLJ or Hobbysearch yet so I'm wondering if it may be limited or just too early for a April release.

Are Megahouse Rena and Shion going to be distributed by RightStuf or Toylet?

You should contact them to make sure. Anyone can order from Previews. Go to your local comic book shop. Contact one of the Anime on DVD people who have their own stores (Lazy Otaku / Hammergirl). Pick up a copy of previews and order it yourself. :P

Plus AAA appears to be distributing it as well.

[weaksoul]

Thank you. If AAA is going to distribute it then I can wait for an online store to have it. Looks like it wont be released until April, perfect for my financial matters to settle.

Hiya, thanks everyone for posting such great info on figures. Just wondering about a few figures I saw whilst scouring through the moeyo website. Just curious as to whetehr anyone knows if they are going to be available on HLJ etc. (as 'completed' PVC or similar) at any point or were they only available at events/as kits for WHF and so on:

http://www2.moeyo.com/img/rev/06/12/10/r1/rl01.html (only available with a DVD set perhaps?)

Thanks Gatts, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Shame about those being kits only currently (I'd be hopeless at kit building), hope someone picks them up for mass release someday.
Hmm and sadly I think 6000 yen + deputy & shipping fees would be too much for me right now... (really need to cut down on spending...!). But thanks so much for letting me know what to search for. =)

I was a bit confused about the GSC thing since I couldnt see it on their website but glad to know its just that they havent yet put the details up for it there. I look forward to getting it.

Thanks again for all your kind and wonderful help!

I love Alter's May lineup.

My favorite is Kazenoushirowoayumumono (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/alter/2007/alter0705-04.html). I'm definitely ordering that one. Love the action on the pose, so sweet.

The Escalayer (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/alter/2007/alter0705-01.html) figure looks good as well and is a maybe.

Also there's a pair of swimsuit figures for Mikoto Suo (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/alter/2007/alter0705-02.html) and Kaduki Arisaka (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/alter/2007/alter0705-03.html). I'll probably pass on those, but they look like nice figures.

[saeba_ryo]

I'm more interested in this (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/others/artstorm/art0705-02.html) but at a whopping 59cm tall looks like I'll have no room for it. The $150 pricetag doesn't help either.

Okay now that I'm done over reacting. I'll mention that these action figures are "the first series" so it's entirely possible that the Megahouse figures will come a bit later. I'm just venting now since jumping to conclusions is fun. :)

After collecting most of the Negima figures and going insane in the process, can I ask everyone to put any and all Figurmate Haruhi figure info in spoiler fields so I'm not tempted to buy these? Please? :)

Granted there are many more students to depict than in Haruhi, so I might not have to buy as many, but I want to preserve my sanity for a bit longer. Thank you. :)


Worse thing is the first set comes out right before my spring trip to Japan, so they'll be all over the place while I'm there... very hard to resist when they are right in front of you. :) :( :virgin:

On the other hand, you might be able to go to a Yellow Submarine and simply buy each figure you want separately. In the long run you might save some cash that way. (Granted I'm not sure just how crazy rare the Figuremate stuff can get...)

Did a quick search and couldn't find anything so anyways. Shueisha announced that the (by fans long anticipated) 3rd Tankoubon of Hiroyuki Utatane's Tengoku - HEAVEN'S PRISON (serialized in Ultra Jump mangabon) is going to be released as limited edition again featuring yet another lovely figure of Saki done by Masaki APSY (who already sculptured the Saki figure that came with the ltd. Edition of Tankoubon 1 for the series). This time it's Saki in maiden outfit ^_~ and the Official site of APSY already updated with some very very lovely pictures of the new Saki figure as can be seen here (http://www.plastica.jp/gallery/saki2/saki2.html).
Tengoku Tankoubon 3 is scheduled to go on sale on 18th May 2007 and is already up for pre-order at shops like Amazon.jp (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%A4%A9%E7%8D%843%E5%B7%BB-%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%82%AE%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E4%B B%98%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9% E7%89%B9%E8%A3%85%E7%89%88-%E3%81%86%E3%81%9F%E3%81%9F%E3%81%AD-%E3%81%B2%E3%82%8D%E3%82%86%E3%81%8D/dp/4089080584/sr=8-1/qid=1170013682/ref=sr_1_1/503-9615013-7226319?ie=UTF8&s=books).

Well it's not like the chapters of Tengoku are that long. However I'm personally glad that Utatane *does* keep up a (more or less) monthly publication of the chapters in UJ (looking at how irregularly and little of Seraphic Feather gets published it *could be* worse). Plus he does have the excuse of being pretty active in regards of his Doujin Circle UROBOROS...which doesn't apply to Kentaro Miura. But then again how's the saying "good stuff needs some time" (or something along the lines ^_~)

Mmmmm... The upcoming resin and PVC figures from Griffon have revived me! Due to their excellent lineup of items, I've decided I should actually make a few updates. :)

For those that would like to know where to go for pics, you can go to their newly remodeled homepage (http://www.griffon.co.jp/) which, unlike Alter's new homepage, looks good. Their New items (http://www.griffon.co.jp/pages/new.html) page is useful (although it would be nice if they sorted the page by date of release).

BTW, most Griffon figures should be considered NSFW.

Anyway as some of you already know this month (and February) will see the release of:
Saber (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64768)
Kanu Uncho Wet version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/64343)
Nakahara Komugi Ribbon Nurse version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65606)
and
Kokubunji Koyori Maid Apron version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/65607)

I skipped on all of those although I was tempted by the Kanu resin. March has a quality piece listed:
Ryofu Housen DVD Jacket Limited version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/68017)

Also to be released in march is:
Nurse Witch Komugi School Swimsuit version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/68016)

April will bring around more Ikkitousen with
Youjou Bashoku (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/68893)

after that will be Kyoko Kirisaki (Black Cat) and Ryomou Shimei Comic Gum version cold casts.

On the PVC side we have
Caren Ortensia (http://www.griffon.co.jp/pages/new.html#pvc03) in May
Kanu Uncho Battle Damage version (http://www.griffon.co.jp/pages/new.html#pvc02) in June
and
Dragon Destiny Hakufu (http://www.griffon.co.jp/pages/new.html#top) in July (note, links might not work after they update their site again).

Also on tap for 2007 are some Queen's Blade figures. I will be looking forward to seeing how the Airi figure turns out.

Hey Gatts, you might want to put up a general NSFW message, or at least put warnings on these ones.

[Gatts]

Done.

I forget sometimes that not everyone knows the Griffon makes mostly adult figures. I've loved their resin kits for a while now so I just take it for granted. :nervous:

I'm just glad their cold casts are getting more popular so they are putting more out. If only Volks would be so kind. :(

Since it appears that I didn't do this last month...

(BTW, there's a new Metamo for Haruhi Suzumiya (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/68895) as well)

Nice, very nice. Since the Bubba figure is too much trouble for me to go after, this one more than makes up for it. It's too bad she's not holding a guitar instead of a sign though.

[kymaera]

(BTW, there's a new Metamo for Haruhi Suzumiya (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/68895) as well)

Hmm...a bit torn on this. It looks nice, but I wonder how the color changing aspect will look after a while. Long term, it might settle on an inbetween color that looks like crap.

[Draneor]

I noticed Good Smile Company posted pictures of new (to me at least) figures of Tohsaka Rin (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/gsc/2007/gsc0705-03.html) in a maid outfit and a nendoroid Suzumiya Haruhi (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/gsc/2007/gsc0705-04.html) today. The Rin one doesn't really suit her, but is too cute to pass up. I swear you can blow your whole budget on just F/SN ones (with no end to them in sight).

Rin is cute.

But the Haruhi one, I don't really like any of the poses she comes in. They're all so…mean.

I also saw in the Wonderfest link that they're doing a hand puppet for Haruhi http://www.goodsmile.info/2007wf-w/haruhi.html. So, you too can scare and dominate your friends and acquaintances!

Decided I would post February's list before February began. :P

BTW, some of the release dates of a few of these figures have been pushed back to March, but I haven't updated my database with the new release dates so expect that some of these will not come out for another month. :)

I noticed Good Smile Company posted pictures of new (to me at least) figures of Tohsaka Rin (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/gsc/2007/gsc0705-03.html) in a maid outfit


Arrrgh! Must resist buying more figures of Rin Rin.... :sd:
I knew I shouldn't have looked. Time to re-do the anime budget.... :sd:

[kymaera]

I've been amazed at how popular the Max Factory Haruhi is. It doesn't seem like many figures get re-releases, but this one is already up to three runs...before the first one even streets. I guess it puts the allocation in perspective when HLJ is talking about only getting 20-30 from each of the first two runs.

I wonder if Clayz is going to release the T's System (http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/tssystem/evenfile4/e099.html) maid Rin to match their maid Saber.

Thats a very nice fig too. I prefer the face and expression on the Good Smile Rin. Plus being a Good Smile Fig, although its listed as 1/8, you know it will be big! :)

[Gatts]

Looks like Yamato finally got smart and opened up a web store for their US branch (http://www.yamatotoys.com/). There are online exclusives in the web store no less. Of course you can probably get the normal release figures cheaper at other online stores, but for the exclusives, it beats trying to purchase them from Japan.

While browsing around Konami's website (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/lineup.html#gv01d) , I noticed they added figumates for Kagurazaka Asuna (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/l_gv01d_asn.html), Miyazaki Nodoka (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/l_gv01d_ndk.html), Konoe Konoka (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/l_gv01d_knk.html), Ayase Yue (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/l_gv01d_ye.html), and Ku-Fei (http://www.konami.jp/th/figumate/negima/l_gv01d_ku.html) all in their swimsuits from the Haru OAV. I'm assuming these are special event versions, but for the life of me, I cannot find out where (or even if the event has already happened--I believe it says"middle of December" but they were only posted on 01/23/2007). Does anyone happen to know?

On a side note, I noticed today that Amiami posted new figures for Kawasumi Mai (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69155) and Asahina Mikuru (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69151). Max Factory is also releasing a special, multi-colored eye Mikuru (http://maxfactory.cms.drecom.jp/newproducts0705_06.html), which I think is a Good Smile Company online exclusive.

I like the new Mai a lot better than the one that came out previously. Usamai is very moe.

Ryuna is now pre-ordered. But how long has the Mikuru figure been announced? Because I didn't think it was available for pre-order yet, but HLJ is already sold out of their alotment. :cry: I'm all but positive that it'll get a second (and third) run like the MF Haruhi is, but still. I don't even want to imagine what the stampede will be like once Yuki goes on sale. :(

[kaiyouske]

Damn. I usually don't like hentai figures, but that Imari one is REALLY nice. It's pretty dead on as the original art. I can't wait to get my Ryuna to complete my Shining Tears collection. ^_^ (Yup, I got the President Japan one as well)

From what I could tell, HLJ filled their preorders of both the Mikuru figure and the Metamo the day they posted them (I was checking their early bird section every night, and they were both full when I first saw them ). I just hope they open them up for more orders later one (Metamo Haruhi now says regular preorders will be accepted on march 2). Otherwise, I pray for a domestic release.

On a side note, that Hazumu PVC by Yamato actually looks half-way decent (In general, I haven't been too impressed with their general style---such as their Shana). I wonder if they'll bring it stateside.

Ryuna is now pre-ordered. But how long has the Mikuru figure been announced?

Well, I don't remember when it was originally announced, but I remember seeing it pop up on Hobby Stock on February 1st.

Anyway Hobby Search (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10055401) still has it listed for reserve.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but it looks like Alter is going to release a variant (http://www.goodsmile.info/2007wf-w/mokyu.html) of their 1/8 Black Saber PVC from last year. The variant has her eating a hamburger(?). It's so goofy that I might actually pick this one up. :P

That's just WAAAAY too funny. :D

I wish I could get one :cry:

All of my figures that come with clothes keep the clothes on. It's too much of a hassle to try and find a place to find extra parts and most of the time figures look better the way they are originally intended to be displayed.

Anyway, I don't care who's visiting, I don't hide my stuff anyway.

Batgirl looks okay, but Catwoman, Powergirl and Supergirl all look bad (my opinion). I prefer to go the Women of DC busts. I have Harley (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DC25118).

I like the Batgirl figure also and the Catwoman one as well. the Powergirl looked like she should have been from a hentai manga or anime. the Supergirl figure does not look too good to me either but the photo of it are not that great to begin with. I wish they had photos of the Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman figure just to see how the look in person against art work.

[Ingraman]

I don't think that I like those much, and the eyes look horribly generic...

The only one that looks halfway decent is the Catwoman. Powergirl looks more like Powerpuffgirl. Btw, some better quality photos here (http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/003432582.cfm).

Hi there;


Does anybody have an idea why the BOME figures (more specifically the vols 12,13, 14 and 15) are taking so long to arrive?

I ask this because I ordered some of them on October, and at this time there's nothing new about them.

If it were other figures, I could go and buy them with Japanese stores, but the prices have a great difference (e.g 6800 yen for the vol 12 and 35.00 for the same volume)

Hopefully someone can give me a hint about this delay.

[Peter_JR]

Hi there;

Don't know of any problems about the figures myself but I did see Vol. 12(FMP girls) in my comic store a while ago.

[Gatts]

Bome 12-15 are all released.

The Full Metal Panic, Jingai Makyo Ignis, DOA Kasumi White and DOA Kasumi Blue figures are all released and available. You should probably contact the shop that you ordered from to find out what the hold up is.

I know that Ignis has been released. However, I'm not sure that the FMP or either Kasumi has been yet. I haven't seen them on any of Diamond's ship lists, in the local store that usually has them or up on eBay. Also, aaaanime also shows them as unreleased here (http://www.aaaanime.com/cat.asp?view=manu&manu=Kaiyodo). Are you sure that they have been released domestically and you weren't seeing an import?

Well, I like the sculpt for Catwoman, but I eally hope they improve on the paint jobs for these figures. I haven't seen paint jobs done that poorly on figures since I took a look at some of the crappier bootlegged figures- heck, even the bootlegged Renji I was stuck with had a better paint job. There's far too much bleeding and just plain poorly applied paint for them to look good.

The concept art for Poison Ivy looks interesting as well. Heck, Wonder Woman may be interesting too. Now all I want to know is what the heck is wrong with Supergirl's neck. And where are the belly buttons on Supergirl and Powergirl?

But in the end, the Kotobukiya is the figure for me if I decide to get a Catwoman. That one is damned sexy and in a much nicer pose. Not to mention it's based on the new costume. :neko:

I'm sure every one knows about Nurse Ryomou Shimei (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69536) coming from Wani Books by way of GSC, but did you know there was another cool Ryomou Nurse on the way? Yup Aizu Project, makers of all types of cool cold cast figures, is making a PVC or Ryomou! You even have your choice of the white nurse version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69531) or the Pink nurse version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69532). I don't know if Aizu is getting on the PVC bandwagon hardcore, but I welcome it.

Meanwhile Toys Planning announced three new additions:
Demonbane Al Azif (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69620)
Pia Carrot e Yokoso G.O. Rumi Kinoshita (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69622)
Wagamama Capriccio Melissa Collection (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69607)

Alter threw one more on the pile. This time it's Quiz Magical Academy Rukia (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69629) to go with their Sharon that they released earlier.

Another one that I needed to be reminded to put up is Hagumi from Honey and Clover. (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69628)

For those that have been collecting the "Art of Shunya Yamashita" figures, there will be alimited color version of Rosanna (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69630) (blue) put out by Movic.

One more for movic, the Maria-sama ga Miteru Soeur Vignette (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69611)

Sugar Mint Complex is back with their Kannazuki no Miko figures:
Himeko Kurusugawa (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69544)
Chikane Himemiya (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69545)
Their faces/hair don't look that good IMO, but at least they spent a good amount of time modeling their breasts. :P
Actually, the seam lines on the side of the Hakama has me thinking they will be removable.

idolM@ster fans have the option of picking up the The IdolMaster Xenoglossia Collection Figure (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/69529)

Hmmm, the skinless Meiya looks a bit weird in her armor there. Is this supposed to be repaint of an earlier Meiya figure?

Also, that Manabi Amamiya is just too darn cute! I really love how they were able to capture her face so well, and the coloring of her hair looks great. Still kind of hoping/holding out for a "group victory pose" though... :D

Way to go Revoltech! A nice poseable Saber action figure. (Sad the shot is such a basic pose...)

Though I must admit the Kirijou Mitsuru (Persona 3) figure/resin(?) is looking the best out of all of that IMO. (She's about 1/4 the way down, long red hair, skirt and fencing style sword.) Makes me wonder if they already put out a Takeba Yukari figure/resin and sad that I might have missed it.

I think the funniest thing about this figure is that only a character like Nagato could pull off such a boring pose so well. ^_^

I wanted to inquire if anyone one knows anything about these two Mizuho PVC figures:

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d71218497
(I'm not actually going to be bidding on this particular auction, but it has pics of both figures in question. Possibly NSFW - it's figures in bikinis)

There were a few auctions for the black bikini one that reeked of bootleg and I wanted to find out if these two figures were actual releases. Various auctions for these items mention it being limited to Asia, but I don't know if it's credible or not.

Thanks for any clarification that can be provided!

[Peter_JR]

From Toy Fair '07, DC Direct is gonna produce a series of anime-style figurines based off the ladies of the DC comics universe. It's gonna be called Ame-Comi. :roll:

http://photos.superherotimes.com/showgallery.php?cat=1442




I saw these at NYCC and the supergirl and powergirl look better then was in the original link. They are not as yellow as the photos made them. Power girl still looks like she belongs in a hentai anime though.

While at NYCC I picked up the excursive that Yamato had from the Tandem Twin Series: Sapphire the Lynx. She has blue eyes and red hair, wears a red top(removable) and is like her twins Topaz and Amethyst but has an added tattoo on her back and left arm. I have her on my computer desk right now wearing nothing but her leg and arm guard and her bikini bottom. And holding her sword which keeps ditrty thoughts away.

[Oniko]

Both of the Mizuho figures in that auction do exist and from the looks of them, I would hazard to guess that the Yahoo JP auctions are the legit figures. One thing that I have come across with the Mizuho in the black two piece when it's bootlegged is that the swim suit is an absolute shambles. Hobby Link Japan has a couple scans from the Figure Maniacs Please Teacher and Twins Figure Special book here (http://www.hlj.com/product/MDW22720) that includes the pages with those two figures on it.

Here's (http://toyseller.1accesshost.com/onegaisexy03.JPG) an example image of the bootlegged black two piece swimsuit. As you can see, the hair is off looking, the skin color looks wrong (similar to the off color of my bootlegged Renji), and the swimsuit (I use the term very loosly here) is absolute junk. Also take a look at this one here (http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/67/67182/opt061020_4.jpg). She should not have such a plastic looking tone nor should her nose look melted. Her hair is another good indicator that this is a bootlegged figure since it looks too slimy and undetailed.

And from looking over the auctions availble on E-bay right now, none of the auctions for the black swim suit Mizuho are legit. To be honest, not a single Mizuho figure on E-bay right now looks like the legit release. None of the PVC figures should be going for as low as $3.89 USD. I'd also suggest looking at the E-bayer's other auctions. If they have even a single item that looks fake, then most likely most of their stock is bootlegged.) Also, don't fall for the "Rare Prototype" figure scam currently going on E-bay. They're all unpainted bootlegged molds of figures and do not just cover JP released goods (many a US toy has recently been bootlegged too. Including Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and DC and Marvel figures.)

If you want further information on spotting bootlegs, etc, visit the Zero-Type forums here (http://forums.zero-type.com/index.php). I go by Susano on there and am the originator of the Anatamy of a Bootleg thread. I'm sure someone there has further information on the legit Mizuho figures, or at least knows of other places to look.

[Gatts]

The top Mizuho in the black bikini is Ryuujin's highly bootlegged Mizuho version 2. The bottom one is the not as bootlegged Ryuujin Mizuho version 1.

Version 1
http://www9.ocn.ne.jp/~ryu-ns/rfile/mizuho.html

Version 2
http://www9.ocn.ne.jp/~ryu-ns/rfile/mizuho2.html

I do not remember there ever being a PVC release for either of Ryuujin's Mizuho's, but the auction says "Asia limited edition". The closest thing I can think of is when Figure Maniacs vol. 11 (http://www.mediaworks.co.jp/topics/050921_onegai/index.php) and Hobby Magazine had a limited mail in for the figures. I can't remember all of the details though.

Anyway, here (http://auction.item.rakuten.co.jp/10042355/a/10000083/) is a more detailed picture of that Mizuho version 1 from a Rakuten auction. I doubt either one is "official" at any rate.
