It turns out that what you see here is all the material that was available in this month’s issue. I’ll post anything more I can find when it appears.

Yeah, that’s how it seems. Details are still pretty sketchy, though.

Is that an articulated Shana figure I see on the second image?

>>Steve I don't have the magazine yet, it doesn't hit store shelves until tomorrow. These are scans pulled from mokeiura, and they're all that was there; if you keep a look out on the board others may appear as well, otherwise I'll probably be doing another wrap-up post tomorrow after I pick up the magazine. Sorry I can't oblige quite yet.

Phew, I’ve been away for much too long from the anime figure world! Great to hear that Goodsmile is deciding to release the Dark Elf figure. I wonder how limited their figures are then, I paid quite the premium for my Goodsmile 1/6 scale Azusa from Idolmaster (well worth it!)

We’ve also recently been seeing a lot of releases of older figures…

Japanese fans have been slow to buy some of the Griffon Queen’s Blade cold casts, though obviously the resins are selling well enough that they keep on making them. I wish they’d drop the cold cast line all together and move in the direction of Orchid Seed (occasional resin releases quickly followed by their PVC counterparts).

Here’s hoping at least one or two of those QB kits see the light of day in PVC, although come to think of it Bandai / Megahouse / Hobby Japan may not allow anyone else to make PVCs of the Queen’s Blade characters… Now I’m curious, I’ll try to look into this.

The Queen’s Blade resins from Griffon look really nice (Ekidona,Tomoe and the new Airis version)

But they are awfully expensive.Do they worth it,in quality terms?

That’s a good question. According to the information in the scan here it will be available from the official Goodsmile shop for sure, but whether it will appear anywhere else is still unknown. We’ll be watching for further news.

I was wondering if any other online retailers such as hobby search would carry Dark Elf female mage figurine?
