Nice sculpt of Ranka, although I would prefer her in her original colour. She looks cast off-able also ^^; My guess is that there will be a special version of the figure ( ^ _ ^ );

A preview scan look of the upcoming 1/4 scale figure of “Izumi Konata Gym Suit Ver.” from Lucky Star by FREEing. The figure is scheduled for June 2009 release. Price still undecided. Scan is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine.

My jaw dropped when I see this. Look at the sheer size of her, compared to her Figma counterpart. This figure is atleast 4x the size of a normal Figma, which should put her around 50-60cm in height!! ( O _ o )
I know that the info mentioned around 35-37cm, but if you owned enough Figma(s) and try stacking them together, I can’t believe she’s around that height ( > _ < );

To celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of Figma, there will be some exclusive items which will be available during this coming Wonder Hobby 9 event on Febuary 14th, 2009 ^^
More news on this month release dates ^^
(Please take note that some of these items might be released few days earlier)

A preview look on the upcoming 3 SOS-Dan figures which will be bundled together with the upcoming “Suzumiya Haruhi no Heiretsu” for the Nintendo Wii ^^

Although not much, Mikatan updated her Blog today with a close up shot of the upcoming 1/7 scale figure of “Saber Lily” by Good Smile Company.
The figure is scheduled for June 2009 release with price still undecided. I can’t really make up what she’s trying to say, but she did mentioned about Saber Lily’s reservation day. I think it’ll open on the 7th of next month or the following week. I might be wrong though.
Either way, the fanboy in me is screaming after seeing Saber Lily’s face. Super GORGEOUS!!~XD

Good Smile Company updated their Nendoroid Page earlier with a preview of the newly released “Nendoroid Yui DVD Ver.” from the Anime OVA Koharubiyori ^^

Well, apparently Altelier Sai already updated their website with more previews on the upcoming 1/10 scale figures of “Hiiragi Kagami” and “Hiiragi Tsukasa” from Lucky Star, scheduled for 2009 release ^^

Continuing where we left off, Good Smile Company finally updated their Imitation info page with a more detailed comparison between the original Nendoroid Hatsune Miku and the fakes ^^

Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid Page has been updated with an announcement on the upcoming Wonderful Hobby Life For You!! Wonder Hobby 9 event, which they will attend on ^^
The event will be held on Saturday, Febuary 14th, 2009 at UDX Akiba_Square.
Looking at it, I guess GSC and Max Factory will only be displaying their Nendoroid and Figma series. Well, maybe there will be some new announced figures that weren’t present during Comiket 75 ( ^ _ ^ );

Nendoroid Exelica finally gets its release date on March 26th, 2009, which will be bundled together with the release of the PS2 game “Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced SP-Box” on the same day ^^
