A preview of the upcoming figure of “Kizaki Emi Swimsuit Ver.” from Kurogane no Linebarrels by Banpresto. Standing at 13cm, she’s scheduled for May 2009 release. Unfortunately, this will be listed as another Arcade Prize.
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 ( ^ _ ^ );
Moeyo just posted a clearer and closer Prototype preview of the upcoming figure of “Fate T. Harlaown Shin Sonic Form Ver.” by Alter. Scaled at 1/7 and scheduled for 2009 release. This was taken from Wonder Festival 2008 Summer.
More Here.
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~ ( ^ _ ^ )

We saw the scan of Yuki before, so I’m not really surprised. Good thing they’re going to re-release Reinforce. With the release of Yuki and Haruhi in their School Uniform, I guess there’s high chance that Alter will release Mikuru also~ ( ^ _ ^ )

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:
Image is from Konachan.
It means both figures are supposed to be display as a set. Maybe they’re going to release Aoba Tsugumi also~ ( ^ _ ^ )
Just a bigger image scan of the upcoming 1/6 scale figure of C.C. by Kuji Club from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine ^^
Also, Kuji Club have updated their Website with a new Promo Video and images of all of their products in their full painted version, including the above C.C. figure.
How could I missed this? really. I’ve heard of the CG movie is in the works, but didn’t expect it to finish this early.
Resident Evil: Degeneration is a Full-Length CG Motion pictures, just like FFVII: Advent Children, by Sony and Capcom. The story takes place 7 years after the incident of Racoon City or 1 year after the event of Resident Evil 4. The main this time are Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield ^^
Trailer below:
Just like Advent Children, the movie will only be released in the form of Blu-Ray and DVD, scheduled for December 30th, 2008 release. Although they did a Sneak Peak of the movie during TGS2008.
Now, I’m really looking forward to this~ ( ^ _ ^ )
