To think that my hunch is right ^^

A preview look of the upcoming 1/8 scale figure of “Miyafuji Yoshika” from Strike Witches by AmiAmi. The figure is scheduled for May 2009 release at 7,980 Yen retail price.
I can’t seems to find the name of the company that collaborate with AmiAmi (my hunch said is Good Smile Company), but either way, by looking at it, looks like the figure might be exclusively for AmiAmi Online Shop order. Scan is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine.

Looking at the Prototype, probably it could be the best looking figure of Zero up-to-date. You can even remove the cape and exchange the head either with the Zero’s Mask or Lelouch’s. More accessories also~ ( ^ _ ^ )

I was lucky to be part of the 25 Bloggers because there’s probably won’t be any other chances like this in the future. Overall it was a successful event and I’m glad that I came ^^

Volks is planning to release a new line up of figures based on Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS under their A-Brand. Since it’s A-Brand, these figure most likely to be resin kits.
Looks like Nanoha and Hayate will get their turn 1st, as can be seen from the above scan. Well, atleast Fate will be released in her Shin Sonic Form ^^;
Not much info yet, but looks like more will be released at the end of the month.

Anime Festival Asia 2008 has just updated their site earlier with the addition of news that most of us has been waiting for, the Exclusives. You can view more of the list of items Here.
To tell the truth, I kind of disappointed with the range of exclusives listed, atleast for now. So far they are geared towards Gunpla collectors and also Tokusatsu fans. I’m not saying it’s bad or anything, but I’m hoping, since there’s still 1 week left, they will revealed more. Maybe they won’t list all the exclusives on site, hopefully.
Come on, don’t disappoint me ( > _ < );
