ranka

A preview scan look of the upcoming 1/8 scale of “Excellent Model CORE Ranka Lee N.A Ver.” from Macross Frontier by MegaHouse. The figure is scheduled for May 2009 release at 5,985 Yen retail price. Scan is from the latest Hobby Japan magazine.

From Figure/GK.

Nice sculpt of Ranka, although I would prefer her in her original colour. She looks cast off-able also ^^; My guess is that there will be a special version of the figure ( ^ _ ^ );

FREEing’s Izumi Konata Preview

January 22, 2009

konata

A preview scan look of the upcoming 1/4 scale figure of “Izumi Konata Gym Suit Ver.” from Lucky Star by FREEing. The figure is scheduled for June 2009 release. Price still undecided. Scan is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine.

From Figure/GK.

My jaw dropped when I see this. Look at the sheer size of her, compared to her Figma counterpart. This figure is atleast 4x the size of a normal Figma, which should put her around 50-60cm in height!! ( O _ o )

I know that the info mentioned around 35-37cm, but if you owned enough Figma(s) and try stacking them together, I can’t believe she’s around that height ( > _ < );

kyouka

A good addition for any Kyouka fans. The petit figures definitely a plus ( ^ _ ^ )
