This new 1/8 scale figure of “Kitami Reika” from the series Bible Black, will be available this coming December 2008 by Miyabiya for 7,000 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.
If I’m not mistaken, this makes her the 4th Bible Black figure to be released by Miyabiya. Of course she’s Cast Off-able just like the others ( ^ _ ^ );
I don’t know if these are the Official ones, but they don’t really look like custom made to me. If it does, definitely a well made ones ^^;
UPDATE: Yeah, these are official~XD Images are originally taken from Figma’s Blog.
UPDATE 2: Apparently, Taniguchi‘s and Emiri‘s head will be bundled as a bonus together with the upcoming release of Figma Ryoko and Figma Tsuruya-san respectively. So there won’t be a separate release for both Taniguchi and Emiri. Thanks to Danny for the info ^^
Keep in mind that the current release and future release of the Figma Haruhi line up is the lacking of Figma Taniguchi and Figma Kimidori Emiri to complete the whole set, with the exception of Kyon’s Sister ( ^ _ ^ )

Both of these figure are scheduled for January 2009 release, and reservations for both of them should open by today ^^
The only shocking news is in fact that KOS-MOS Swimsuit Ver. is scaled at 1/6!! She’s standing at a freekin’ height of 30 cm O_O!! Below is the height comparison with the previous release of KOS-MOS Ver.4:
So yeah, reserve some extra space if you want to get her~XD
A very nice looking Custom stand, yet simple, made specially for Figma Hatsune Miku. Looks like it’s made by carving out somekind of clear plastic material, or even better, glass ^^;
You can even use it for Nendoroid Hatsune Miku.
It kind of give you the idea to make your own Figure stand by using this method~XD
Just a preview look of the upcoming Figma Takara Miyuki Winter School Uniform Ver. by Max Factory. She’s scheduled for November 2008 release. As you can see, she will come with the background from the opening, which then you can complete the “Motteke! Sailor Fuku” dance line up ^^

Another one of Shunya Yamashita‘s works gets the PVC treatment ^^

With the release of Figma Doara in its Home Uniform, it’s no surprise that they will also released the Away version of the figure ^^ Doara is the mascot for Tyuunichi Dragons Japanese baseball team~ ( ^ _ ^ )
A scan featuring the upcoming 1/6 scale figure of “Katsuragi Hinagiku Swimsuit Ver.” by Kotobukiya. The figure is scheduled for January 2009 release at 6,300 Yen retail price.
Probably the best looking figure of Hinagiku up-to-date, atleast based on the scan~ ( ^ _ ^ )/
This is probably the best room a collector would have. It’s like the room is solely design for the purpose of collecting. Gamers can even kills to have this room.
He’s also a hardcore collectors of Gunpla and Figure, as can be seen in the images. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone can reach his level~XD Surround Systems for PS3 and XBOX360.
This is Taste‘s room. More can be seen at his blog.
So clean and comfy!! and those shelves are just godly. Want!!
A scan featuring a Resin/Garage kit of Kururugi Suzaku from Code Geass. The scale is 1/7 and is sculpted by TOMO. Supposedly he was displayed during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer, not too sure, although it IS a Wonder Festival kit.
The best looking figure of Suzaku probably, so far ( ^ _ ^ );
I don’t know if it’s considered “Custom”, but this is probably what it will look like if Max Factory ever decided to release “Figma Kobayakawa Yutaka” and “Figma Iwasaki Minami” ^^
Btw, the above Figmas used Figma Tsukasa as base and replaced the head of those from Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star #02, but I can see Max Factory releasing the rest of Lucky Star casts in the future ( ^ _ ^ )/
