This new figure of “SMC Chouhi Ekitoku” will be available this coming November 2008 by Toys Works for 6,900 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.
Nice loooking figure, although I still prefer the Kanu version ( ^ _ ^ );
Max Factory‘s Seena prototype was displayed during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer, but it was still unpainted. Someone from Figure/GK was kindly enough to “paint” it with colour using Photoshop, which what might the final product would be like.
Looking good I have to say~( ^ _ ^ )/

Still have to wait for more pics for the others ^^;
On other news, a poster was spotted at Alpha x Omega booth announcing that they’re planning to make figures of Kalen and Shirley from Code Geass, scheduled for December 2008 release ^^ I have the feeling the other 2 secret figures might be the 2 of them ( ^ _ ^ );
Many thanks to Figure/GK

More coming!! ( ^ _ ^ )/
As we all can see from the image above, looks like Alpha x Omega going to announce 3 new figures during this coming Wonfest 2008, or atleast they are going to display the finished product ^^
My only guess is that those 3 might be from Macross Frontier. I know that the far right is Kuran Kuran Micron Ver. since they have already shown the prototype before. The middle one looks like Alto to me~XD Well, we’ll just have to wait for tomorrow I guess ^^
On other news~ According to Shine Na Blog, we will get to see some new Shining Wind figures displayed/announced during tomorrow’s Wonfest 2008 ^^ They includes Kotobukiya‘s Ryuna (Above Image), and others might be Alter‘s Claclaclan Full Armor Version, and Max Factory‘s Seena ^^
I’m so looking forward to these~( ^ . ^ )/
Alright~ Next review will be “Asahina Mikuru Maid Ver.” by Alter, in collaboration with Chara-Ani. This will be the 1st for the month of August ^^
The figure was released earlier last month on July 2nd, 2008, and is my first ever PVC figure of Mikuru ^^; I was hoping to get my hand on Max Factory‘s Waitress Mikuru first, but still no luck on her ( > _ < );
Anyway back to topic~ As expected from Alter, the quality was great. I don’t know why, but I think the most obvious point that usually distinguished between Alter’s product from the others is probably their paint job. How should I say it, theirs have more “depth” in the colours they used.
No other accessories given. You just need to take it out of the box and it’s ready for display. The most disappointing part of the figure is probably just the plain base stand. Otherwise, everything is perfect ^^
On with the shots~!!

Close ups~
Closer look~
Base stand~
Pantsu~^^;
You can also view another great review of her here at Foo-Bar-Baz.
That ends my review on Alter’s Mikuru ^^ As you probably have noticed, her eyes are pretty much shiny since it can easily reflects the light, and I’m talking about the top eyes~XD
More reviews coming, look forward to them~( ^ _ ^ )/

This new figure of of “Nendoroid Nankyoku Sakura” from Penguin Musume, will be available this coming December 2008 by Good Smile Company for 3,500 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations of her as of today.
