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!! ( > _ < );

A teaser preview of the upcoming Seena Kanon by Max Factory from the Shining series.

Looking at the pose, looks like it’ll follow the following image:

Another new entry by Solid Theater ^^

This new 1/7 scale figure of “Kuon Setsuna” from Samurai Girl, will be available this coming September 2008 and will be retailing for 5,800 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of now.

This figure is rated R18 since it can be full-casted off ^^; Not bad I have to say. The best addition is probably the “Mirror” stand~XD

This new figure of “Figma Hiiragi Kagami Winter School Uniform Ver.” by Max Factory is finally ready for reservations ^^ This next Figma line up from the Lucky Star series is scheduled for September 2008 and will be retailing for 2,500 Yen. Hobby Search is taking pre-orders of her as of today.

Woot!! Get!!!~( ^ _ ^ )/

Another version of Aya from Onee Chanbara VorteX is now ready for reservations ^^ This time it’s by Orchid Seed.

Hmmm, I guess Aya is getting popular ^^;

Anyway, this new 1/7 scale figure of “Aya” will be available this coming October 2008 by Orchid Seed, and will be retailing for 7,500 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

This new 1/6 scale figure of “Ivy Valentine” from Soul Calibur III is finally ready for reservations and will be available this coming September 2008 by ebCraft. It’s made out of PVC, ABS, and Brass material, and will be retailing for 12,100 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

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

There’s supposed to be another version, but I guess Hobby Search isn’t taking orders for that. Maybe limited stuffs ( ^ _ ^ );

This new figure of “Figma Hiiragi Tsukasa Winter School Uniform Ver.” is finally open for reservations ^^ The figure is scheduled for August 2008 release by Max Factory, and will be retailing for 2,500 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.

A preview of the upcoming 1/Infinity scale figure of “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”, scheduled for 2008 release by Volks. It’s made out of Resin Material and standing at 33cm height, and will be up at a whoopin’ price of 39,900 Yen!!

The price is a killer!! ( > _ < ); What makes it funny is the scale they put for it~XD Normal Scale is bigger than the Universe alright~XD

Sumaga or “Star Mine Girl” is the title of Nitro+‘s new Eroge scheduled for release this year. A campaign was done to promote the release of the game, and one of them is by releasing this series of figures, featuring the 3 main heroines from the game.

From Figure/GK

They are Spica, Mira, and Garnet. For more info you can visit the official webby here.

These are Limited Edition and supposedly, the reservations will start soon. Probably at Nitro+ main site.

Hmmm, I can’t seems to find the company that made the figure, but it looks really close to the Nendoroids, in term of design ( ^ _ ^ );

This new figure of “King of Swanky Boys Jimmy” from Gang King, will be available this coming September 2008 by Organic, and will be retailing for 5,800 Yen. Hobby Search is taking reservations for him as of today.

This is actually one of the coolest “Male” figure I’ve seen so far. It’s pretty cheap considering that it has PVC, ABS, and Metal materials on it~( ^ _ ^ );

From Figure/GK

A first look of the upcoming 1/5 scale figure of “Minamoto Chizuru” by 4-Leaves ^^ Looks like there will be 2 versions, one is the Human form, and the other is the Fox form. They’ll be up for a whoopin’ price of 13,440 Yen and is scheduled for October 2008 release.

Hmmmm, expensive alright ( > _ < ); but I personally prefer the Fox version~( ^ _ ^ );
