If you are a Kotobukiya‘s fan, you know how good Kotobukiya has been with the Shining series figure releases so far, and there’s no question with this next release from the series ^^
This “Elwing 1/8 Scale” figure by Kotobukiya from the Shining series will be available for sale in June 2008 for 5,800 Yen, and Hobby Search has open the reservation for it ^^
This gorgeous figure was also shown during Wonder Festival 2008 “Winter”.
For those who missed the chance in getting the 1/144 Astraea Conversion Kit for the HG Gundam Exia, Bandai has brought you a good news. Bandai is planning to release “1/100 Gundam Astraea” this coming April 2008 with the price of 2,940 Yen.
Ahh, thank god ( > _ < ). That’s Bandai for you ^^;
Here it is as promise, the review for “Figma Nagato Yuki” from Max factory which was just arrived yesterday ^^
Ordered this through Hobby Search as usual :p Saw lots of people gave positive reviews on it ever since its release, so I’ve decided to get it…and I’m totally impressed with what it can do. For an action figure, the details were great, and the mobility…hoho, it’s one to be reckoned of ^^ I’ve been playing with it since yesterday, trying different pose and stuffs, and Yuki can really kick some butt ^^
The figure comes with lots of extra goodies, which you can experiment with them and allow it to have more posing options; Extra face expression, a total of 5 different pair of hands, Hair equipped with the glasses, an extra pair of shoes, 2 different books, a “Figma” scarf and a metal chair (well, not really metal ^^; )
Anyway, the blouse and the skirt are bend-able and it can stand without any trouble even without the help of the “Figma Stand”. Only use the stand if you are going to do some fancy poses ( ^ _ ^ ) The only let down probably the joints, but overtime, you won’t really be bothered by it ^^
Anyway, here are the shots ^^
With the goodies~

Pantsu ^^;~
Here it is the action shots~
Doing some parts of the Hare Hare Yukai dance ^^
Decided to get both Figma Haruhi and Figma Saber ^^ Oh and in case you didn’t know, the next line up for Suzumiya Haruhi Figma Series will be Figma Kyon, which planned for May release ( ^ _ ^ )/
My “Figma Nagato Yuki” from Max Factory just arrived today ^^ As for the review, I’ll be posting it tomorrow since I’m really busy right now ^^;
All I can say is I’m totally impressed with the flexibility of the figure
( > _ < )b
Here’s a CM on Figma showing what it can do ( ^ _ ^ )/
During Wonder Festival 2008 “Winter”, these figures were only available for 100 figures each, but now Griffon Enterprises have decided to mass-product them ^^
These two figures of “Kanu Uncho & Ryomou Shimei DVDBOX China Dress Ver.” are planned for May release for 6,400 Yen each and Hobby Search have open the reservation for both of them ^^
