Kotobukiya’s Lion Magnas Returns!!

August 25, 2008

lion

Rejoice for those who have ordered or wanted this figure of Lion Magnas from Tales of Destiny by Kotobukiya previously, because the figure is finally back from “Suspension” ^^

This particular figure of Lion was thought to be completely suspended because of the Akihabara Stabbing accident and won’t be release again, but I guess that’s not the case ^^;

Anyway, this figure of “Lion Magnas” is scheduled for September 2008 release for 4,200 Yen retail price. Hobby Search has opened the reservations for him again as of today.

Figma Shana

August 24, 2008

shana

Not the official ones, unfortunately ^^; This is a well custom made Shana using Figma Haruhi as a base model. From 2chan.

Although it’s not official, I can see Max Factory releasing Figma Shana in the near future~ ( ^ _ ^ )/

Eroge Seiyuu Bloopers

August 24, 2008

Accidentally stumbled upon this today ^^;

oni

Well nobody is perfect, and I reckoned that even Seiyuu (Voice Actors/Actresses) who did Eroge have made some mistakes and stuffs during their recording, and probably more than the usual normal Anime seiyuus~XD It’s not easy…well you know why~XD Below is the bloopers from the Eroge ONI(?) during recording:

I have to say, it’s pretty funny~XD
