This new 1/7 scale figure of “Menace” from Queen’s Blade, will be available this coming July 2009 by Griffon Enterprises for 7,800 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

Looking good, although I will pass on her this time. The thing that always prevented me from getting Griffon’s figures is because of their oversized base stand that requires lots of space ( ^ _ ^ );

ebCraft’s Selvaria Bles Preview

selvaria

A preview scan from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine, featuring the upcoming 1/6 scale figure of “Selvaria Bles” from Valkyria Chronicles by ebCraft.

Continuing where we left off, she finally have a price set on her. The figure is scheduled for release sometime in 2009 this year at 16,800 Yen retail price.

I kind of expected the price to be over 10,000 Yen with that quality and height (35cm), but didn’t expect it to be that expensive. Either way, I will wait for the final product.

I have super high expectation on this since ebCraft tend to have their final product differ from the original prototype. When I say “differ”, it meant in a bad way ( ^ _ ^ )
