MegaHouse’s Chaina-San Reservation Starts!!

July 9, 2008

chaina

chaina2

2 versions of this figure is planned for release. One is the CORE (Blue) version “Melancholy of Chaina-San”, and the other is the LIMITED (Red) version “Recrimination of Chaina-San”, from the Spirit of Wonder series.

CORE is scheduled for October 2008 release and LIMITED is scheduled for November 2008 release, but both of these figures will be retailing at the same price at 5,700 Yen each. Hobby Search is taking pre-orders for both of them as of today.

I think I’ve seen this character before. Looks like the figure is Full Cast Off-able~ LIMITED version gets my vote ( ^ _ ^ );

felicia2

This new 1/8 scale figure of “CAPCOMANIAX2 Felicia” from the game Vampire Saviour, will be available this coming September 2008 by MegaHouse, and will be retailing for 6,800 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

The nicest and coolest figure of Felicia I’ve ever seen. She’s my favourite character in the series also ^^ I think there’s also an OVA series adapted from the game if I’m not mistaken. Old series though~ ( ^ _ ^ );

Figma Yuki Concert Ver. WF2008 Exclusive

July 5, 2008

yuki

yuki2

Unfortunately, Figma Nagato Yuki Concert Ver. which was announced earlier is actually part of Max Factory‘s Wonfest exclusive items which are going to be sold, and only, during this coming Wonder Festival 2008 Summer on August 3rd, 2008.

I have another bad news to add also, and just HOPE that I’m wrong. This version of Figma Nagato Yuki will not be part of the special online pre-order session after Wonfest ended, just like the last Wonfest 2008 Winter. Instead, you can only order her during the event and at the event itself for the September 2008 release of the figure.

The good news is that the other exclusive items are still part of the special online pre-orders session, which is going to take place around mid-august, just after Wonfest ended.

But still….arrggghhhh!! I so want that Yuki!! ( > _ < );

Elwing 1/8 Scale (Kotobukiya)

June 28, 2008

I’ve decided to do “Elwing 1/8 Scale”‘s review 1st, since she’s quite easy to do a review on ^^;

elwing

Anyway, Elwing was released not long ago, atleast officially, on June 18th, 2008. To tell the truth, I can’t really keep up with Elwing’s release date~XD Originally she was scheduled for June 24th release, and then all of a sudden, I saw a post that someone already gotten her on the 12th ( > _ < ); So yeah, quite confusing ^^;

Elwing is my 2nd Kotobukiya figure and also the 1st of Kotobukiya’s Shining series figure that I have. I think Elwing is the 5th to be released from the series. My first impression of the figure is…Wow~XD I can assure you that the figure itself is much-much better than those preview images that you saw on the net. The sculpting and the paint job is amazing, and I personally like the “Wings” on her head. They’re skillfully sculpted.

elwing 2

The skirt can be casted off, and the figure also comes with her Bow.

elwing 3

Just some warning. Please be careful when handling her Bow. The Bow String is made out of a Super Thin String-Like Plastic. I almost snapped the string when taking it out of the box ( > _ < ); Also, the figure itself is already screwed to the base stand. So be careful when removing her from the box.

Anyway, let’s the photos do the talk ^^

Hefty price, but considering the material and scale used, I guess it’s natural ^^; Beautiful figure though ^^
