Ryuna definitely looks great right there. She was first displayed during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer. Extra topping definitely goes to our fellow Hayase right there with 19,800 Yen ( > _ < ) He’s made out of Cold Cast, which explains the high price ( ^ _ ^ );
Coming Soon!! ( > _ < );
Atleast that’s what the poster showes. Image is taken from Mikatan’s Blog. I think this was during Comiket 74.
I just wish they would announced the date soon. Looking at it, Miku might be released on November or December at this rate ( ^ _ ^ );
Good Smile Company just released a new series for its “Metal Charm” line up. This 2nd series, with Nanoha as the 1st, will be based on the Fate series under the name “Fate Metal Charm Collection” ^^
The first release from this new line up will be Saber’s Excalibur, “Fate Metal Charm Collection #01 – Excalibur”. It’s scheduled for November 2008 release for 2,800 Yen. I think GSC’s did an Advanced Sale on this during Comiket 74.
I don’t know about the Thompson Cotender gun, but maybe it’s from Fate/Zero? Not very familiar with the series’ story ^^;
