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

>>2656 Nendroids... http://nendonesia.com/2014/03/22/anime-japan-2014-nendoroid-line-up/
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.
>>2799 Welded means two parts are connected - look at where her calf touches her thigh, the whole line is connected. I think it looks awful especially for such a simple figure at that price point.
>>2801 Ah, yes of course, that is actually pretty bad. I guess my attention lied elsewhere. Thanks for the clear-up.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-009443 Another lovely design from ques Q. I don't really have a connection with Koishi, so I'm not going for this one. Also, I'm not a big fan of skirts going crazy like that.
>>2821 She's moe. I have the Griffon but of course I like the Ques Q better. Don't need 2 Koishis, though. I just don't. Plus, I started out (oh, so long ago) collecting Touhou figures and Griffon were the only game in town for a long time so it's almost like my OCD wants me to just collect 2hu Griffonshit because that's where I started but... No.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-009247 Haven't even watched it yet, but the accessories and outfit look too cool to pass up.
Good!
lol
Holly fuck. These are the shit.
The Serval Nendoroid from Kemono Friends went up for preorder today after only being announced a couple weeks ago, and it's still in the unpainted phase. Furthermore they used illustrations to show the other faces, poses, and accessories it would come with. Have they ever done anything like this before? http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-029066
Ordered this thing before it made it's way to amiami's main page. I was even the first on MFC to list it as ordered it seemed.
>>3316 I wish I liked figmas. Did you preorder her nendoroid as well?
>>3318 Nah, not a big fan of nendoroid. I do have a couple nendoroid (5), but I much prefer figma because they more accurately represent the characters they're based on.
>>3320 I just can't get past the joints on figmas.
Fake NEET or not this is damn cute.
fumofumo have been getting re-released. Been wanting one of these for a while, now I goes one preordered.
O M G http://myfigurecollection.net/item/549472
>>3332 Wow, her lips look so luscious. She has a great character design too.
>>3336 Youmu looks pretty cool with an eyepatch.
Kurumi is going to destroy my wallet. She probably likes it that way.
Just preordered these cuties. While Snek isn't best girl in her series it's still nice to get a monster girl in my collection.
Looking good so far.
>>3332 I preordered SE's 9S. A2 is also in the making, it seems. I hope they re-release 2B separately from the Black Box PS4 game, cause I really want that little YoRha collection and reselling prices are criminal (as usual).
First one fig of her full form that I like. Sadly, a garage kit.
pre-ordered one of these. Seems like it might be a bit small, but it was too cute to pass up.
Finally an uniform version but why, fucking why 1/6 scale? Preordered all the same, though.Post edited on 12th Sep 2017, 11:24pm
>>3360 What size would you want if not 1/6? 1/8 would be too small and 1/4 way too big.
>>3361 I think 1/8 or 1/7 at most (like the previous Alphamax Sora, which I own) could be just as dettailed and much more convenient. It's not like I hate it, but it will be unnecessarily expensive and I also personally face space problems by now.Post edited on 13th Sep 2017, 1:42am
>>3354 Apparently, there is also a Kainé figure in the making: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/573928 Maybe we can even dream of a Zero fig someday?
>>3362 >1/7 at most (like the previous Alphamax Sora That makes a great deal of sense. I find 1/8 are, generally, a bit too small but a 1/7 could work. Unfortunately you're right when it comes to the pricing. I feel your pain in terms of space; I'm also quickly running out and need to invest in some new cabinets soon.
I started reading Spice & Wolf for the first time and decided I needed more Holo in my life. I preordered the Holo nendo, she should go nicely with my re-issue Holo figure.
>>3377 Don't you mean Horo?
I just blew ~USD320 total on these two. It was a great deal, each one of them costing me half the least all other resellers were asking for. I caught 2B on eBay from a very kind seller, who already sent me a couple of pics of the parcel before shipping (my name and address on it). Catherine was my first time buying from Solaris Japan; hope it turns out alright.
>>3353 Still pretty good. Might get it
>>3456 Looks really slick.
Caught her preowned at AmiAmi for 2,480 yen. Great deal.
>>3500 good buy
coming soon
>>3332 Painted prototype revealed. It's perfect.
This one can use some work. Great to see them coming, regardless.
>>3515 Great sculpt. I'm impressed with the attention to detail, like how her dress folds and warps differently because of the material.
Nice!
Wow.
>>2792 The sequel: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-037986
This is really impressive. I love how they have so much stuff balanced on there made to look like it's floating.
>>3548 Indeed very impressive. Looks like it's bound to break at the slightest fidgeting though, probably one of those cases where getting a case for it might be necessary.
>>3516 Preordered.
The base is too much.
I made up my mind and preordered her.
Tempting.
>>3586 Very slick. I haven't played P5 nor seen the anime so far, but I find she has top-notch character design.
>>3587 I both started playing it (with RPCS3) and watching the anime. If you're interested and it's possible, I suggest playing the game instead: it's much more personal and rewarding; also the actual anime sequeces are better.
Great concept and execution. I'm already broke, though.
I can't even imagine the pain of someone whose waifu is Artoria Pendragon. The amount of things you can't afford to get must be insane.
While on the topic of unaffordable things, this figure looks great, but I think it'd be better if the sword holders were transparent too. Altair (Re:Creators) had one of the best character designs I've seen this decade, too bad the series fell off hard.
>>3598 Yeah, that show was garbage but I was pretty taken with Altair's design. That's a nice fig.
>>3597 It just means more options that's all. It's not a bad thing.

Saw this little gal; Pixie from the Shin Megami Tensei videogame series. I'm considering buying her, although I do wish the colour palette was less bright or more similar to her more muddled version (https://i.imgur.com/07ON7Kz.jpg - hair more brown than red, outfit more blue than purple). I do love the wings though. >>3586 While also on the topic of MegaTen: Very slick. I don't know much about the character though, but she has a nice design.
>>3605 I ended up pre-ordering Pixie and also this Jack Frost re-release. Since they're shipping in August and November respectively, I don't have to worry about paying right now.
>>3605 >>3606 I'm not normally into poseable figures anymore but these are great. I tried to get that Jack Frost one ages ago but couldn't so I'm glad they're re-releasing it.
This doesn't look as good as expected and I'm near broke. I'll think about it.
Face is off and boobs are small for her.
Charming.
Promising.
>>3644 I preffer the statue but, until widely available, this is an option.
>>3515 >only DX ver. can self-destruct >7000 yen difference Mother fuckers.
Not bad at all.
>>3657 Ended up preordering the DX. It's gonna be a blow, but I have a year to worry about it. Also, I guess I can always resell the extra parts if I don't like them in situ.
God damn this is nice.
>>3665 That base is spectacular.
>>3644 the latest pics aren't looking so well, so I'm glad I didn't get caught in preordering it. bought this one instead for 1/5 price, including shipping.
Gathering's 2B knock off is pretty damned good, especially for such a small fig.
Announced for Gathering.
This looks good.
Archeyle is back for preorder. I totally recommend it. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-048919Post edited on 23rd May 2019, 4:20am

Nice to see new Galaxy Angel merchandise.
11,600JPY ? Really?
>>3709 Neptune is for rich hasubandos.
Ques Q is releasing a Clara. Quite odd as they haven't released a Katyusha or even a Nonna yet.
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?scode=FIGURE-162413&page=4033 Nice.
https://vxtwitter.com/umamusu_goods/status/1734399865093042500 Who the heck has space for stuff like this? Where do you even keep them??
