Following recent coverage on the official Medicos blog as well as at Hobby Channel the listing of this item was only a matter of time, and today Getchu represents with the scoop: Medicos’s Chouzou Queen’s Blade Collection vol. 1 is now officially up for preorder. The figures are roughly 10 cm tall, and the box set of eight units (three standard and three alternate colors, plus secret) will retail in mid-February at the whopping price of 10,080 yen. New information up with the listing includes word that Saitoh Heel is on sculpting duty, and that the armor and equipment are completely separate parts. A bit of a bitter pill to swallow for those of us expecting a more reasonable price point, but still a very nice item provided the production quality holds up. Picture below:

So expensive, yet so tempting. ;_;
They really do look quite fantastic, but that price for frankly the same 3 girls twice (just different colors), and two extra, i’m not sure it’s worth the plunge right now.
Here’s hoping they’re available for sale to international customers too. :) Then I can finally get an alternate color Reina. (The megahouse version was a hobby japan exclusive mail-in order only :( )
The prototypes look great, even though at 10cm each, they’re like 1/16 scale.
Eh…..something aboutn these just don’t do it for me. I think it’s the faces…..just unattractive for me.
Pass.
Saito Heel is an awesome sculptor, his Max Factory 1/7 Scale Shining Tears Swimsuit series were some of the best bang for your buck figures in recent memory… unfortunately these are on the other end of the pricing spectrum.
