Two new entries from Alpha Omega are now ready for reservations ^^ If you didn’t know or new to the call name “Alpha Omega”, it’s actually a joint project and a team consisting of Alter and Mega House. So you can expect a good and high quality product from them ^^

Anyway, these 2 new figures of “Lala Satalin Deviluke Uniform Ver.” and “Golden Darkness (Konjiki no Yami)” from To-Love Ru series, will be available this coming September 2008, and both will be up for 6,300 Yen ^^ Hobby Search is taking reservation for both of them as of today.

New Kagamine Len & Ren Figures

May 16, 2008

kagamine

Found this image at Figure/GK

Now, the person who posted this stated that those are Figma figures, and I really doubt they are ( > _ < ) It’s too big to be a Figma and it looks more like Volks’ Hatsune Miku. So they might be PVC figures. The base stand really shows it all.

Well, what do you guys think? ^^;

On the other hand, here’s a new image of the Nendoroid Kagamine Twins posing with fellow Nendoroid Hatsune Miku ^^

Musashiya’s Itou Noemi Reservation Starts!!

May 16, 2008

noemi

This new 1/6 scale figure of “Itou Noemi” from With You series, will be available this coming August 2008 by Musashiya ^^ It’ll be up at a whoopin’ price of 16,800 Yen and Hobby Search is taking reservation for it as of today.

As for the price, it’s not really surprising since it’s made out Cold Cast material ^^; It’s a beautiful figure, but it’s too expensive for me ( > _ < );

As for the series, it looks like an old eroge series, since it’s copyrighted on the year 1998.
