Another version of Aya from Onee Chanbara VorteX is now ready for reservations ^^ This time it’s by Orchid Seed.

Hmmm, I guess Aya is getting popular ^^;

Anyway, this new 1/7 scale figure of “Aya” will be available this coming October 2008 by Orchid Seed, and will be retailing for 7,500 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

This new 1/6 scale figure of “Ivy Valentine” from Soul Calibur III is finally ready for reservations and will be available this coming September 2008 by ebCraft. It’s made out of PVC, ABS, and Brass material, and will be retailing for 12,100 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

Hefty price, but considering the material and scale used, I guess it’s natural ^^; Beautiful figure though ^^

There’s supposed to be another version, but I guess Hobby Search isn’t taking orders for that. Maybe limited stuffs ( ^ _ ^ );

This new figure of “Figma Hiiragi Tsukasa Winter School Uniform Ver.” is finally open for reservations ^^ The figure is scheduled for August 2008 release by Max Factory, and will be retailing for 2,500 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

Yay~ The wait is over ^^ Quick, before reservations closed down~( ^ _ ^ )/

A preview of the upcoming 1/Infinity scale figure of “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”, scheduled for 2008 release by Volks. It’s made out of Resin Material and standing at 33cm height, and will be up at a whoopin’ price of 39,900 Yen!!

The price is a killer!! ( > _ < ); What makes it funny is the scale they put for it~XD Normal Scale is bigger than the Universe alright~XD

Sumaga or “Star Mine Girl” is the title of Nitro+‘s new Eroge scheduled for release this year. A campaign was done to promote the release of the game, and one of them is by releasing this series of figures, featuring the 3 main heroines from the game.

From Figure/GK

They are Spica, Mira, and Garnet. For more info you can visit the official webby here.

These are Limited Edition and supposedly, the reservations will start soon. Probably at Nitro+ main site.

Hmmm, I can’t seems to find the company that made the figure, but it looks really close to the Nendoroids, in term of design ( ^ _ ^ );

This new figure of “King of Swanky Boys Jimmy” from Gang King, will be available this coming September 2008 by Organic, and will be retailing for 5,800 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for him as of today.

This is actually one of the coolest “Male” figure I’ve seen so far. It’s pretty cheap considering that it has PVC, ABS, and Metal materials on it~( ^ _ ^ );

From Figure/GK

A first look of the upcoming 1/5 scale figure of “Minamoto Chizuru” by 4-Leaves ^^ Looks like there will be 2 versions, one is the Human form, and the other is the Fox form. They’ll be up for a whoopin’ price of 13,440 Yen and is scheduled for October 2008 release.

Hmmmm, expensive alright ( > _ < ); but I personally prefer the Fox version~( ^ _ ^ );

As promised, here it is, the review for “Figma Takamachi Nanoha Barrier Jacket Ver.” by Max Factory ^^

Figma Nanoha was released earlier last month on May 24th, 2008, and is my 4th Figma figure that I acquired. Well, just like previous Figma releases, she’s another great Figma figure to collect. The joints are solid for posing, which makes her really easy to do some extreme posing.

Although there are some problems with the figure. I don’t know if these applied to you guys (those who already owned Figma Nanoha), but the front hair keeps falling off, and can’t keep a firm hold of it. The hands are also quite difficult and hard to replace.

As for accessories, You get the usual 4 extra pair of hands, 1 extra Face & Hair, and also an extra Raising Heart Buster Mode, in which you can switch around. It also comes with 1 pair of “Axel Fins”, which then you can equipped it under her feet.

Paint job and details were still great, even for an action figure. Either way, Figma is still worth getting ^^

Anyway, on with the shots!!

With different face & hair~

Closer look of the Jacket~

Action shots~!!!

Played with Photoshop a bit ^^;~

“Divine Buster!!”

Actually I wanted to add the Magic Circle, but it’s not easy~XD

Anyway, that ends my Figma Nanoha review~ Actually I want to take more shots, but Figma can be really addictive ^^; You can also view another great review of Figma Nanoha here by Foo-Bar-Baz

I’ll most likely do Chuchu Astram next. So look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/

The Miku translation has to do with her face. Can’t make it out ( > _ < );

Just hope that there will be another special pre-order session for these, just like what they did with Figma Konata and the Nendoroid >_<
