This new collection figures of “Melissa Collections Vol. 2” from the Waga Mama Capriccio series, will be available this coming October 2008 by Toys Planning for 5,200 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations for the box set as of now.
The box set contains 8 different figures of Mellissa Seraphy; 5 different ones + 2 secret models + 1 extra. Each is standing at around 6-7 cm in height and costing around 650 Yen each if you buy them individually.
This is a good chance for those who have missed the set during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer and Comiket 74. Too bad that this time it doesn’t include Chua Churam from Chu x Chu Idol ( ^ _ ^ );

I don’t know if these are the Official ones, but they don’t really look like custom made to me. If it does, definitely a well made ones ^^;
UPDATE: Yeah, these are official~XD Images are originally taken from Figma’s Blog.
UPDATE 2: Apparently, Taniguchi‘s and Emiri‘s head will be bundled as a bonus together with the upcoming release of Figma Ryoko and Figma Tsuruya-san respectively. So there won’t be a separate release for both Taniguchi and Emiri. Thanks to Danny for the info ^^


Keep in mind that the current release and future release of the Figma Haruhi line up is the lacking of Figma Taniguchi and Figma Kimidori Emiri to complete the whole set, with the exception of Kyon’s Sister ( ^ _ ^ )
Weeeee~ More to collect~XD

A very nice looking Custom stand, yet simple, made specially for Figma Hatsune Miku. Looks like it’s made by carving out somekind of clear plastic material, or even better, glass ^^;

You can even use it for Nendoroid Hatsune Miku.

It kind of give you the idea to make your own Figure stand by using this method~XD
