Kotobukiya’s Lion Magnus Release Suspended

June 18, 2008

The release of Kotobukiya‘s upcoming figure of “Lion Magnus” from Tales of Destiny series has been suspended. The reason was because of the social effects of the recent Akihabara Stabbing incident. All orders has been cancelled and already been removed from most online stores.

Kotobukiya’s Statement:

Taking into account the social effects of the recent deadly incident in Akihabara, we have decided to voluntarily cancel the upcoming release of “Tales of Destiny – Leon Magnus” for the time being.

First time I heard that a figure release was cancelled because of something that a Killer likes. Thanks to Panther for the heads up.

New Nendoroid Shana

From Figure/GK

I remember Good Smile Company showing us that they will be releasing Nendoroid Shana in the future, but it was only the illustration image. I think it was during Wonder Festival 2008 Winter. Looks like the wait is over ^^

Looking at the final product (on the right), looks like it’s going to be a Petit version. The bad news, is that it’ll only come with the DVD release of “Shakugan no Shana 2nd” on August 25th, 2008.

The good news, looks like GSC going to release another version of Nendoroid Shana for September 2008 release, as you can see on the image on the left ^^ Looking forward to this one~( ^ _ ^ )/
