The wait is OVER!!!! Two of the most anticipated Figmas are finally open for pre-orders!!!
Two new Figma figures of “Figma Fate T. Harlaown Barrier Jacket Ver.” & “Figma Izumi Konata Winter School Uniform Ver.” from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS and Lucky Star series respectively, will be available this coming July 2008 by Max Factory ^^ Fate will be up for 2,800 Yen and Konata will be up for 2,500 Yen retail price.
Hobby Search is taking pre-orders for both of them as of today.
YES!!!! I pre-ordered the moment I sees it~XD Quick before it runs out!! These gonna sells fast~
This new figure of “Twinkle Saber” from Twinkle Saber NOVA, will be available this coming August 2008 by Atelier-Sai and it’ll be up for 9,800 Yen retail price ^^ Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.
Never heard of the series before, but this is another high price figure ^^; The details shown that it used ATBC-PVC & ABS materials. Nice looking figure though ( ^ _ ^ );
Finally, my “Shuraki Trinity Box #02: Liu Meifeng” by Good Smile Company arrived earlier ^^~
Review for her will be done after I finished with Nida. Look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/
Continuing on where we left off, it’s time for “Saber Delusion Elegant Maid Edition” by Good Smile Company to get the review treatment ^^
This figure was originally released in 2007, but the one that I have is the re-release version, which was released earlier this month. Ok…so it’s a big turn out from the evil looking “Saber Alter” to Saber in her lovely Maid uniform ^^;
This figure is part of Good Smile Company’s 3 “Maids” Fate/Hollow Ataraxia figurine. The other two are Rin and Raider, which then you can connect them all together using the “Special” base ^^ Another excellent sculpt by GSC I have to say. The paint job and details, as usual, were great. Although there isnt much details that needs to be shown, you can really feel the essence of a “Maid”~
The figure also comes with a miniature wooded chair, and the skirt is cast off-able ^^
Anyway, let the photos do the talking~

Pantsu~^^;
Nida‘s review will be next. Look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/
The next line up of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu “Bunny” series by FREEing is now ready for reservations ^^
This 1/4 scale figure of “Kimidori Emiri Bunny Ver.” is scheduled for August 2008 release and it’ll be up 11,200 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking pre-orders for her as of today.
Another hefty price from the Bunny series, but if you already owned the others, this probably a must get to complete your collection ^^; To be honest, she’s one of nicest looking Bunny out of the Bunnies released so far~( ^ _ ^ );

It looks like the next Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu lineup to get the Nendoroid treatment by Good Smile Company would be “Nendoroid Asakura Ryoko” ^^ This time it’s a little bit special though. Looks like it’ll include some new accessories, which then you can use, for the previously released Nendoroid Haruhi, Mikuru, & Yuki respectively ^^
This set is scheduled for September 2008 release, and will be up for 5,000 Yen. The accessories is probably the reason of the increased price ( ^ _ ^ );
This beautiful 1/8 scale figure of “Tenko Kuugen” from Wagaya no Oinari-sama series, is up for pre-orders and is scheduled for September 2008 release by FREEing for 8,800 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservation for her as of today.
I have to say, this is one beautiful figure. Rich in colour also ^^ Although the price can be considered high, even for a 1/8 scale PVC figure ( ^ _ ^ );
Continuing on where we left off, Foo-Bar-Baz finally finished his full coverage on Hobby Complex 04 2008 at Osaka, with an impressive 7 pages of reports ^^

Kotobukiya just opened the reservation for their new alternative colour of Clalaclan figure ^^ This new “Clalaclan Noir Ver.” from Shining series, is scheduled for September 2008 release and it’ll be up for 5,800 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservation for her as of now.
The first release was the white colour. To tell the truth, I prefer the white colour, although this version also do looks nice ( ^ _ ^ );
Foo-Bar-Baz just posted a nice coverage on “Hobby Complex 04 2008” at Osaka Japan, which started not long ago ^^ This was only the first part of his coverage ^^

Well you guess it~It’s made with PVC + ABS ^^; Nice looking figure though, despite the high price ^^

OOOO!!! Can’t wait!!! ( > _ < )!! One particular confirmation is that Figma Kanu is scheduled for July 2008 release ^^
Another new entry by Griffon Enterprises ^^ I think this was shown during Wonder Hobby Festival 2008 Final.
This nice looking 1/7 scale figure of “Uesugi Kenshin” from Sengoku Lance series is scheduled for August 2008 release, and will be up for 9.800 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservation for her as of today.
It’s expensive alright ^^; I wonder if the final product supposed to be like that. It’ll be a much better looking figure with colours on though~( ^ _ ^ );
This new figure of “SMC Kanu Unchou” from Ikkitousen series, will finally be available for August 2008 release by Toys Works ^^ It’ll be up for 6,980 Yen retail price, and Hobby Search is taking reservations for it as of today.
This figure was first shown during Wonder Festival 2008 Winter a while ago ^^
I have to say, one of the nicest looking Kanu~( ^ _ ^ )/
I’ve decided to start off with the review on “Saber Alter 1/8 Scale” by Solid Theater ^^
This figure was released on May 13th, 2008. It was originally scheduled for March 2008 release, so it’s quite a delay alright ^^;
A little bit of info on the character ^^ Saber Alter or Dark Saber, only appears during the game “Heaven’s Feel” storyline. Supposedly she was possessed by Angra Mainyu which transformed her onto the darkside, and also at the same time became Sakura‘s servant. She was later defeated by Emiya Shirou.
I never played the game though ( > _ < )
To tell the truth, I think the wait is worth it. This is probably the most coolest, fearsome, and gruesome Dark Saber up to date. The quality and the details are great. I like the way they painted and did the Dress Armor. It really shows that sense of weight and power.
The figure comes with the “Dark Excalibur” and an extra head with the Faceplate on, which you can switch around. As for the stand, it was made so that it can be connected with “Dark Sakura”, which is going to be released soon ^^
On with the shots~

Close up on details~
Pants (No pantsu this time~:p )
Did some Photoshop effects~
The rest of the reviews will follow later. Look forward to it~( ^ _ ^ )/
Two new entries from Alpha Omega are now ready for reservations ^^ If you didn’t know or new to the call name “Alpha Omega”, it’s actually a joint project and a team consisting of Alter and Mega House. So you can expect a good and high quality product from them ^^
Anyway, these 2 new figures of “Lala Satalin Deviluke Uniform Ver.” and “Golden Darkness (Konjiki no Yami)” from To-Love Ru series, will be available this coming September 2008, and both will be up for 6,300 Yen ^^ Hobby Search is taking reservation for both of them as of today.
I personally like Yami better for this. She looks Moe~( ^ 0 ^ )/
