AmiAmi’s Yoshika Preview

November 21, 2008

yoshika

A preview look of the upcoming 1/8 scale figure of “Miyafuji Yoshika” from Strike Witches by AmiAmi. The figure is scheduled for May 2009 release at 7,980 Yen retail price.

I can’t seems to find the name of the company that collaborate with AmiAmi (my hunch said is Good Smile Company), but either way, by looking at it, looks like the figure might be exclusively for AmiAmi Online Shop order. Scan is from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine.

Hobby Stock updated their Blog with a preview of the upcoming Nendoroid Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. Of course, they are trying to tease us by showing the not-so-clear image of the Prototype. You need to see from faaaaarrrrrrrrrrr awayyyyyyyy if you want to get a “slightly” better look ( > _ < );

Anyway, they also mentioned that the figure is scheduled for April 2009 release. The fully coloured and final version of her will be ready this coming month of December. Face accessories will include both the “Tsun” & “Dere” expressions.

Hatsune Miku Musical Box

November 12, 2008

scan

A scan featuring a number of Vocaloid related products which are going to be released in the near future. Most of us have seen and known the news on the Good Smile Racing stickers and Nendoroid Kaito. So the part that interests me, of course, is the Hatsune Miku Musical Juke Box ^^

miku

I don’t know if we’ll get the chance to order those, but they are scheduled for December 2008 release by Sega. Looks like the one with Hatchune Miku will play the “Levan Polkka” tune. As for the normal Hatsune Miku, can’t really read the title. Maybe a Miku fan can help me identify it ^^;

More at GA Graphic.

There’s good and bad news on this. The good news is that Hobby Search takes pre-order for these Arcade Prizes. The bad news is that most of the time they will not notify you guys that the items are up for pre-orders, unlike other PVCs. For example is the Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Twins Arcade Prize. In the end, I missed out on both of them because I didn’t know ( > _ < );

So you have to watch out for those if you’re planning to get one ( ^ _ ^ );

As one would think, this figure of Fate will be big!! So expect an estimate of 30-35cm in height for her ^^; I have the feeling she’ll be up for pre-order anytime soon, together with Yoko Sniper Look~ ( ^ _ ^ )
