A few miscellaneous items now in preorder: Resinya’s Kushieda Minori from Toradora! (January release), Aizu Project’s Ryomou Shimei (gosurori ver.) cold cast from Ikkitousen (February release), Beat’s original Amaha Collection Wildcat Anna (December release), and Chrono Gate’s Murata Yukari from Rocket Girls (March release). In limited edition news, a Nitro+ online shop limited Kuro no Franco will be released with additional scarf, different facial expression and different colored underwear; a limited edition pink Konomi (maid ver.) is coming from Kotobukiya shops, and an Amiami-limited Wildcat Anna will be available in silver. Also in from Kotobukiya via Akiba Hobby is word that we’ll be seeing a Shining Wind Kureha from them sometime next year. (no more)
Ohh Kureha is definitely my buy list.
Btw shingo, out of topic…do you know what’s the fuss is going on with Kureha Max Factory delays? Is it kinda limited production? Just like those Shuraki series?
Here’s hoping Wildcat Anna is also top castoffable just like the Dancing Nile Girl. :)
Too bad I can’t get the limited ed Kuro. Seems this version has both eyes opened and grinning, compared to the normal version’s wink and open mouth laugh. :)
Considering how great Max Factory’s Kureha is my first reaction to this news was along the lines of “why are they even bothering?”, but wow, Kotobukiya’s version is looking pretty nice so far.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to in terms of Max Factory’s Kureha being delayed; to my knowledge she came out last week as planned (on October 12th, according to Akiba Hobby).
The Shinging Wind/Tear lines from Kotobukiya and MaxFac are going to bleed me dry I swear ;_;
On MaxFac’s Kureha, I think cloudkun may be referring to the fact a few online shops “sorta” had her in stock but now don’t. HLJ for example already lists her as discontinued although I don’t remember ever seeing her in stock.

Ahh, gotcha, thanks. I didn’t know she was that popular, I guess I don’t have my console game radar as finely tuned as it should be.
Yeah, HLJ had the order open up so far until last week? I actually had an order with them but somehow the status was changed from Oct Release till Future release. I was shocked at first and asked them for clarification and said they are unassured if they can fulfill my order. But fortunately, as I woke up to check my emails, they asked for my payment :3
I love wildcat Anna- her resin release was castoffable- here’s hoping that she is as well. I got her “twin” in resin a few years ago and she is one of my favorites I have painted and sits on my computer desk.
Yep, same here cloudkun along with Ayu on the way :)
Oh my god…another kuraha? there goes another days work for me.
