From Figure/GK

Sadly, Normal Form Shana is Dengeki Daiou magazine September 2008 exclusive mail order. Which means that you need a special coupon from the magazine to get her. As for the Flama Haze Ver., she’s scheduled for November 2008 release. Both will be retailing for 3,500 Yen. Maybe someone can help me translate the info on Flame Haze ver., if I missed anything important ^^

More on Nendoroids, as you can see from the scan, more Nendoroids is on the way, atleast 3 of them ^^

They are Nendoroid Nankyoku Sakura from Penguin Musume scheduled for November 2008, Nendoroid Exelica which I think is an exclusive item that comes with a new upcoming PS2 game (I can’t read the title >_< ), and lastly Nendoroid Ignis, which info is still unknown ^^

Takamachi Nanoha Teaching Corp Uniform Ver. (Good Smile Company)

July 20, 2008

Next review is on “Takamachi Nanoha Teaching Corp Uniform Ver.” by Good Smile Company ^^ Time to catch up~XD

nanoha

Anyway, the figure was released earlier few weeks ago on June 30th, 2008. Scaling at 1/8, this my first PVC figure of Nanoha and it’s definitely looks great ^^ As expected from Good Smile Company.

I think what makes the figure worth getting is the colour combination of the figures that makes it really soothing to the eyes. To tell the truth I always loved the combination of Blue and Orange ^^ The expression and the pose looks great also ^^

The stand is made out of clear plastic and really light, and the carving of the Magic Circle on it is definitely a plus.

nanoha

Oh and just an info, it’s not like you just put the figure on the stand to display it. There’s actually an “attachment” near the top side of the stand, which then you insert it to Nanoha’s bottom left feet. That way you don’t have to be afraid of the figure falling off the stand. I didn’t noticed it until this morning ( = _ = );

Anyway, on with the shots~!!

Figma Izumi Konata Costume Play Ver. (Max Factory)

July 17, 2008

Alright~ Next in line is “Figma Izumi Konata Costume Play Ver.” by Max Factory ^^

konata

As most of you might have already known, this particular Figma figure is one of Wonder Festival 2008 Winter exclusive item, which means that you have to be at the event to get it. Luckily, Good Smile Company is kind enough to open a special pre-order sessions at their website just after the event ended, so to give chance to those who unable to attend, to get a hold of the exclusive figures ^^

As for me, I’m lucky enough to manage to get her, thanks to Arcenciel of SGCafe. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the same with the upcoming Wonder Festival 2008 Summer in August ^^

Back to topic, there’s really isn’t much I can say on Konata, except she’s just amazing, definitely worth all the trouble in getting her ^^ Another amazing quality of work, although some movement are a little bit limited because of her hair. Not much though ^^

konata

As for accessories, there’s not much given compared to other Figma releases. Konata only comes with an extra face, and the usual pairs of Figma hands.

On with the shots~!!
