Although it’s a 1/8 scale, what makes the high price is the added ABS material on it. I prefer the normal version than the Cat Maid, but I’ll pass on these ^^;

If you are new to the Otaku world, there are actually variety of “Otaku” and they are divided into different categories, according to their interest. Such as Figure Otaku, Game Otaku, Idol Otaku, Seiyuu Otaku, Doll Otaku, Anime Otaku, etc.

Seiyuu Otaku

Comment: This one is rather special, because he gets to go on a “date” with his favourite seiyuu, which is Shimizu Ai ^^;

There are more, but this should be enough ^^; I’ll post more in the future, enjoy!! ( ^ _ ^ )/

Queen’s Gate Alice Boost State Ver.

April 24, 2008

alice

Akiba Hobby just posted a nice first look on the upcoming “Alice Boost State Ver.” from Queen’s Gate series by Alter. More photos Here.

The figure is scheduled for December 2008 release and up for 6,800 Yen.

From the looks of it, this figure will be Hobby Japan magazine order exclusive. Which means that you need to cut a limited order coupon from Hobby Japan (should be the next issue), and send it through mail if you want to get this figure.

When I look at it for the first time, I just went totally blank for a second. This is one of the best looking figure I’ve seen lately!! ( > _ < );; I got the same feeling as when I look at Alter’s “KOS-MOS Ver. 4” and “Chua Churam” for the first time. I mean look at it…it’s just amazing~XD, but the whole coupon thing might really prevent most of us from getting it.

Need to find a way to get this ( > _ < );

Wave’s Tamaki & Sasara Reservation Starts!!

April 24, 2008

tamaki

sasara

Wave deliveres us 2 new figures from To Heart 2 series. One is 1/6 Scale “Kosaka Tamaki Maid Ver.” for 8,500 Yen, and the other is 1/8 Scale “Kasugawa Sasara” for 5,200 Yen. Both figures are scheduled for September 2008 release. Hobby Search is taking reservations for them as of today.

The high cost for Tamaki is probably because of the scale, the added ABS material for it ^^ and Rubber Boobs~XD Both looks gorgeous, although I prefer Sasara out of the two ( ^ _ ^ );

Gotta love the slogan “Soft Material! Feel So Good!” on Tamaki~XD

First Class’ Cyrille Reservation Starts!!

April 23, 2008

cyrille

cyrille

A new “Cyrille Olive” figure from the game Shining Force EXA is scheduled for release by First Class, a company which I never heard of ^^; There will be 2 versions for this release; Normal Version and Nekomimi Version. Both are scheduled for June 2008 release and will be up for 5,800 Yen each. Hobby Search is taking reservation for them as of now.

As you can see, the difference between the two is the expression and Nekomimi mode~

This is probably one of those few figures where it’ll caught your attention straight once you took a glance on it ^^ Just look at the details, especially the chains. I’m pretty weak to Nekomimi mode~XD
