maritan

A preview look of the upcoming Nendoroid Pixel Mari-tan by Good Smile Company from the latest Hobby Japan magazine scan.

As you can see from the scan, there will be 2 different figures that are going to be released. The left side is “Nendoroid Pixel Mari-tan Battle Assault Ver.”, which is a Limited version and will be another Hobby Japan exclusive. The right side is the normal “Nendoroid Pixel Mari-tan” version.

The Limited version will be up for 4,000 Yen retail price and is scheduled for Febuary 2009 release. The pre-order period for her already started since October 14th, 2008 and will end on November 17th, 2008. You can start ordering her online at Hobby Japan Online Shop.

As for the Normal version, she’s scheduled for March 2009 release for 3,500 Yen retail price. As you can see one difference between both versions is that Limited gets the Bazooka set and Normal gets the Giant Anchor set. One thing for sure is that Limited gets more accessories than Normal.

Also, more info will be given in the upcoming December issue of Hobby Japan magazine.

To tell the truth, I don’t know what makes her so expensive. She’s made out of PVC, a Non-scale, and staning at 21 cm in height. Well, she does have Cast Off features, but I don’t think that should made her tha high ( ^ _ ^ );

Alter’s Yagami Hayate Box Info

October 16, 2008

hayate

Well, we all know that Alter’s Yagami Hayate is going to be huge!!! standing at 30cm in height when displayed. So one might think, how big will her box be?

So earlier, Alter had just revealed the size of her box to retailers. This is needed so that retailers can reserve enough space for the goods when they arrived at the warehouse.

Hayate’s box is measuring at 45.5cm in length, 27.5cm in Width, and 38.5cm in height.

Wha–? Did I just said that correctly? Yep, 45 CM!!!~XD That’s what I called Big!!. I don’t know if it’s bigger than Alter’s Fate, since I don’t own one.

I ordered one myself, but now I’m having second thought because of her size. I don’t know if I have enough space to display her now~XD
