Good Smile Company just released a new series for its “Metal Charm” line up. This 2nd series, with Nanoha as the 1st, will be based on the Fate series under the name “Fate Metal Charm Collection” ^^
The first release from this new line up will be Saber’s Excalibur, “Fate Metal Charm Collection #01 – Excalibur”. It’s scheduled for November 2008 release for 2,800 Yen. I think GSC’s did an Advanced Sale on this during Comiket 74.
I don’t know about the Thompson Cotender gun, but maybe it’s from Fate/Zero? Not very familiar with the series’ story ^^;
More bad news for those who have ordered Griffon Enterprises‘s Shana 1/7 Scale. The figure has been pushed back for another month from August 2008 to September 2008 release.
Akiba Hobby just posted their coverage on Comiket 74, which was just started earlier. As usual, there are Figures displayed by the companies. Although most of the figures displayed were already seen during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer, there are some new ones that was just announced.
Some new ones include the above 1/8 scale figure of Nankyoku Sakura by Alter, was at Good Smile Company booth, which is scheduled for Febuary 2009 release ^^
Just a reminder, Animelo Summer Live 2008 -Challenge- will start in 2 weeks, and it will be a 2 days event on August 30th and August 31st ^^ As for the complete artists listing that are going to perform, you can view them at the Official Page.
Below is the theme song for this year’s Animelo titled “Yells ~It’s a Beautiful Life~”
Can’t wait for the DVD, since I won’t be watching it LIVE~XD

Max Factory‘s Seena prototype was displayed during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer, but it was still unpainted. Someone from Figure/GK was kindly enough to “paint” it with colour using Photoshop, which what might the final product would be like.

Some are even exclusively displayed just for this event and was not shown during Wonfest 2008 Summer, which includes the above Nendoroid Saber Lion ^^ For more images you can visit here.

Weee~ Nice looking figure indeed ^^ If you didn’t know yet, she was designed by the same designer as Fauna from Megachu!, which is why the close resemblance ( ^ _ ^ )/
