GA Graphic is reporting this evening that the two remaining main heroines from Gundam 00, Felt Grace and Christina Sierra, will be seeing release in prize figure form from Banpresto in the third week of May, 2008. This announcement follows the news of Wan Ryuumin and Sumeragi Ri Noriega figures that came in September, and completes the lineup from Banpresto; while these are preproduction samples they’re both looking quite nice, and if the finished product at all resembles them I’m guessing they’ll be hard to come by when next spring rolls around. We’ll be keeping an eye out for preorders of both sets of heroines in the coming weeks. (no more)
They are main characters? Since when? They have like, one line each episode.
I didn’t say they were main characters, I said they were main heroines. Maybe this is something I need to post about elsewhere in more detail, but there’s a pretty bright line between heroine and heroine at least in terms of usage I’ve come to be familiar with. I’m using the term here (and throughout HD) as shorthand for “female character” regardless of significance to the story, and when I say “main” in the context of this particularly man-musk laden show I mean “has any lines at all”.
Maybe I should stop using my own invented language and speak in plain terms that make more sense to people.
These two are looking very good. HLJ and toyslogic both have Sumeragi and Ryuumin up for preorder already, I imagine it wont be long when these two are available for preorder.
Christina is the better of the two, design-wise anyway. I’d have to see more photos to know if they’re worth looking into…
I doubt Sunrise will ever allow castaoffable figures from Gundam, right? :)
These 4 figures really look delicious. :D
