OK, so, we'll dedicate this thread to all the stuff coming out. Figures and goods that are being announced, things we plan to buy, or things we just plan to drool over. Preorders just went up for an extremely sexy Motoko Kusanagi by Kaitendo. Scheduled for a late-July release and sculpted by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, this is an extremely Masamune-faithful rendition... and I will not be able to afford her, sirs.
Continuing Good Smile's Bakemonogatari run we have a ridiculously moe Tsubasa Cat. Some of Masami Ushiro's best stuff so far.
I'm waiting for this to be in stocks this month... >>934 Now that's amazing. If I didn't already have a nice Motoko (and be broke for the rest of the month), I'd probably start saving for it; it gets difficult when there are several really good figures of the same character out there, and one needs to be very selective to make the best of our money.
and they just announced another airi...
>>936 That is quite a lovely bust. I've seen pictures, but who makes it? I'm really torn on Kusanagi. I actually don't have a single figure of her. A lot of the ones that exist make her look kinda butch but this version is very pretty. I really can't afford it but maybe it'll still be around (somewhere) in the Fall when my finances get a little better. COSPA just announced another entry in their distinctly underwhelming Resinya line. This time it's a Onsen Tengoku sculpt Otome Asakura in swimsuit regalia. Honestly, the sculpt is pretty fucking good it's just that for some reason the quality on Resinya figs are always all over the place. It's a shame. I am picturing her with the same sculpt but with an Alter production value and my eyes are watering.
>>939 >who makes it Good Smile (Akashi-san, from Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei a.k.a. Tatami Galaxy... such a good -artsy- series, btw)
>>934 Well shit. Every time there's a nice Motoko fig, I just cannot afford it. I've been looking at one for a while now hoping she gets on sale, but no. It's still 95 fucking dollars. >>936 I can't take this any more.
Pre-ordered this the other day. Can't wait till it comes out.
The suika figma went up for preorder on otacute. http://www.otacute.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=16398 Got mine reserved along with a Kuroneko figma. I hope they let me combine them this time, their combo system kind of sucks...
Althought I wasn't fully convinced, I had a good hunch about this and, given the actual situation, I decided to go for it before it's too late. I bought a guy's pre-order on eBay for $71 + shipping; in many ways, near future shall tell if the choice was wise.
>>970 Looks pretty good to me. It seems like the picture on the right just has a slightly different angle, more professional lighting, and turned up the black to make it stand out better. Best of luck
Pre-ordered this today. Hopefully I'll have the funds available for when it comes out. Will go great with my Alter Fate. Though now I feel like I should get more Nanoha figs to complement my Fate figs.
I don't think I have enough money to pay for these. Oh well.
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=HOB-FIG-8474&template=default/product/e_display.html re-released
I've been holding off on buying a fig of her for a while, but this is just to good to pass up
I just preordered this for August. It will be my most awkward yet most loved figure.
>>1134 why awkward?
>>1135 Well I figure I'll have to answer "why the hell does that umbrella have tongue" to the various people who see it. Right now I just have to answer "what is that" as none of my current figures are really extraordinary.
>>1136 >various people Are you placing it in front of your window or something?
Oh My Gah http://www.play-asia.com/Yosuga_no_Sora_18_Scale_PrePainted_PVC_Figure_Sora_Kasugano_Alte/paOS-13-71-8x-49-en-70-4a50.html
>>1194 So many hairs.. Why you hurt so good, ALTER?
First Minchi is here... and it's, of course, a BQ. It's hard to resist, just like so many other BQ; but I might better wait, for this gives me hope that we may get a scholar uniformed one sometime soon (althought I'm still waiting the respective Kasugano sora).
This might be the first time ever I really lust for Yui...
Who else is getting this?Post edited on 11th Jan 2012, 1:47pm
http://www.e2046.com/product/15525 I had to cancel a previous pre-order for the money to order this. Now I don't even have enough money to play the game but it's OK.
This is the one I'm waiting on. It's my first purchase, hopefully with many more to follow. Speaking of... >>1194 Good lord, thank you for bring this to my attention. I need it.Post edited on 24th Mar 2012, 9:06pm
>>1892 >thank you No problem: glad we share some taste; I'm also waiting for that Saya... Welcome and best of luck.
>>1894 Kudos to you on your fine taste as well. Shame I'll probably never get my hands on that Sora, but hey, everyone collection needs a white whale to be truly complete.
>>1895 If you're really interested: http://www.japtou.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=kasugano%20sora&category_id=0&product_id=13557 Yes: I have ordered from them and their store at eBay (fununiverse) before, a few times (both through Paypal). Always got my figs OK and do not seem to be forgeries. Good luck.
>>1896 Thank you very much for the link, I'll be sure to remember that site.
I didn't make the preorder cutoff for the Ika musume figma. It shut off just today. I was expecting to not have money in my account for it until April 10. Did I make a mistake? Will there be an availability defict huge price markup? I never did a preorder but should I be concerned that I will have to pay $70 or something to get i, because I missed my chance?
>>1916 Not unless you get it a year from now or something. price should still be reasonable after it's released for a short time.
Never saw it coming. At last I will have a figure of my sweet waifu.
>>2029 looks pretty slick
Finally decided to preorder this... let's see if I get one.
Going to preorder this so hard
First one on her (and the Nise series, I think)... Can't wait for the much more explicit statues to start coming.Post edited on 4th Jul 2012, 6:17am
>>2051 I saw that elsewhere earlier today, I really like it.
I must confess: this has some charm.Post edited on 14th Jul 2012, 11:09am
>>2060 Oh my that's brilliant. I'd love one.
good news...
>>2087 Who's making that? Also, am I the only who think those sexy poses they give some Asuka figures are a bit out of character? She looks good though and I'll probably get her anyway.
>>2090 >Who's making that? Dunno yet. >Also, am I the only who think those sexy poses they give some Asuka figures are a bit out of character? In principle, I don't think they are: she longed to be attractive (see pic). >She looks good though and I'll probably get her anyway. Same.
>>2090 >Also, am I the only who think those sexy poses they give some Asuka figures are a bit out of character? Probably, she was a massive tease in the TV series.
>>2092 I see what you mean and I do agree she tried to be attractive. But from what I can tell only to Shinji (and Kaji I guess. She wouldn't be the type to strike a pose in public especially in her plugsuit. The movies though are making her nothing more than sexual eye candy unfortunately.
reminds me of this blog post I came across the other day. http://www.hobbyhovel.com/2012/07/review-17-soryu-asuka-langley-plug-suit-style-ver.html
>>2095 >The movies though are making her nothing more than sexual eye candy unfortunately. Blame Mari. Their characters colided in lots of areas so they pretty much got rid of Asuka's traumatic past and moved her into 'silent nerdy type' territory.
This world is wonderful
Awaiting a Kurumi figure is suffering.
>>2647 Shinden9, you got your wish.
Kotobukiya Rikka
Rikka Cu-poche
>>2649 A closer look
>>2649 She looks great, but I'm hoping they do her non-battle mode Senketsu as well. >>2652 Something about her face looks odd. Thank you for posting these pictures!
>>2652 I barely own any Figma (not really my thing) but I may get this one... whenever I have money again, that is.
Nendoroids! They have both Ryuuko and Mako! Looks as if Satsuki's getting both a figma and nendoroid as well! >>2651 She looks so cute

HOLLY MOTHER OF-- AT LAST!!!
Youmu fig: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-003830 The design is a bit too wild for me, but it's interesting none the less. >>2687 Looks very promising. I've been craving for a good Remi fig, but Flan seems to be the one getting the most attention of the two. Remi is more my jam, though. On a side-note: I don't recall having seen a Touhou fig based on that artist's work before, strangely enough.
>>2713 What a fantastic ass.
7.5/10 She dressed better than that.
current Gathering project. promising.
Not bad.
Custom one. Great job http://reikouzi.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-1218.html
Tempting. I'd only want the Orb, though.
With Masterpiece Joker sold out and expensive as hell, I'm interested in this one.
Look! Sonico with clothes.
Strongly considering this, but I'm not sure my wallet can handle getting her sister too.
>>2750 Speaking of which... There's pictures of the suigintou nendo now. http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/07/15/nendoroid-suigintoh/
>>2751 Woah it looks really detailed
>>2752 Yeah she does look good. I'm disappointed about the lack of accessories though, I would have liked GSC to include her sword or at least a feather. Hopefully she'll have something like that for the GSC store bonus.
>>2750 My wallet hurts, indeed.
>>2757 Done. It's the first figure I've bought in about a year.
Cute not pedo (frilly dress when)
DEEP not homo
Nice concept but the pose ain't the best.
>>2771 And it's Griffon. Definitely not worth buying.
Pandering to my fetish like this feels like a punch bellow the belt to my wallet.
>>2714 Several months later, it seems I've warmed up to this design. Do anyone know how Embrace Japan ranks on quality?
Now, this is good.
Goddamn http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-008718
>>2792 Welded thighs and calves, yuck.
I don't quite see what you mean, but it shouldn't be a problem with a little suspension of disbelief.
>>2794 This is what I'm talking about. It's not bad, but it kind of puts me off... looks like her butt is a bit welded too. Also, her nipples look too big to me. This is one of the few cases where I was more impressed with the prototype than the final figure.
>>2792 daring. love it. my mom would pop, though.
>>2795 >welded Sorry, I don't know what that means. I should've been more clear on that. >prototype They look very similar to me, but I haven't seen a shot from the back on the prototype. Well, I'm not going to buy this anyway - for obvious reasons. But it's really interesting, being the most impressive R18 figure I've seen to date.
