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.
