Saw the prototype before during Chara Hobby 2008 if I’m not mistaken. Still unpainted at that time though. Still prefer the Max Factory version, although this version doesn’t looks so bad either ( ^ _ ^ );
I know Halloween is over ^^; but in case you missed it, Max Factory actually provided us a Free Custom made Halloween theme costume to decorate your Figma(s) with, which you can download ^^
You can download the PDF file here, in which you can printed out later. Instruction on how to cut and fold is also provided.
A preview look of the upcoming figure of “Shirai Kuroko” from To Aru Majutsu no Index by Kotobukiya. Still in Prototype form, so price and release date is still undecided. Although the figure itself is standing at 18.5cm.
This will be the 4th from the series to be released by Kotobukiya. Image is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan Magazine~ ( ^ _ ^ )
A preview look of the upcoming 1/7 scale figure of “Zange-chan” from Kannagi by Kotobukiya. She’s scheduled for March 2009 release, price still undecided. Nagi is already up for pre-order at Hobby Search if you missed it. Image is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine.
Looks like the figure set will be based on the following image:
