Figure maker Goodsmile updated their official site today with three new items scheduled for release in March of next year. First up is what they’re billing in English as Rider Fantasy: Modest Maid, featuring the vituperative antagonist of Fate / stay night in a rather more mild setting. She’ll be coming from Goodsmile at 1/8 scale (21.5 cm tall) and 5,800 yen. Next up is Ruka, one of the two main heroines of Gust / Banpresto’s bishoujo RPG Ar Tonelico 2. She’ll be coming from Max Factory at 1/8 scale (19 cm tall) and 7,200 yen. Finally Max Factory brings us the androgynous Bridget, the (in)famous gender bending fighter from the Guilty Gear game franchise. He’ll be out at 1/7 scale (22 cm tall) and 6,800 yen retail. It’s good to finally see some of these figures we’ve been tracking for months finally online, and with preorders just around the corner! (no more)
Wow Bridget, Rider, and Ruka all turned out great. March is going to be a killer month for the wallet. Heres hoping we can get some more guilty gear figures down the road, especially a Bakien.
Rider preordered on sight. Wallet emptying fast.
I like the Ruka, a very dynamic and exciting figure. But I have so much crap on pre-order……none of these are “must haves”
Umm shingo, is bridget a male or female? Because you said “he”? Quite confused, but looks like female to me.
>>Cloudkun
Bridget is male. And yeah, he is pretty confusing. ^^;;
LOL, I wanted to order because “she” looks cute, but what the heck, think I’ll pass it, though, “she” is still cute to me…
Ther have been an endless amount of comment made about Bridget. I only pray that “HE” isn’t castoff-able!!!
I have to say, Ruka’s colouring is very nice. Will have to see how my debt is doing in March before I put down some money for her.
pass for me on all 3, but I definitely echo the call for a Baiken figure. The only one I can remember is an ancient Epoch resin, and hell I’d take that if they remade it in PVC. I’d much rather see a new Sunny Day, Touji Tanaka, Toushirou or REFLECT sculpt produced by GS/Max Factory or Yamato. Probably to remain a dream though. Don’t know why she isn’t more popular.
Bridget and Ruka are a MUST for me. Damn, March is going to kill me with all it’s awesome figures.
Bridget is a must – (I even drew him in a girlish pose long ago now) and so is Rider. Ruka is very cute but I don’t know her at all, so I’ll stand back for now…
I foresee many abrupt changes of subject after I buy and display the Bridget fig.
“What game is she from?”
“GREAT WEATHER TODAY let’s go get drunk.”
“It’s three PM!”
“Can’t hear you, I’m in the car!”

Wallet’s emptying fast, especially since I missed out on the 1st round of goodsmile’s saber and rin maids. Now gotta get them with rider maid…
Here’s praying for a Xmas stock market rally. I really need the cash… :)
Bridget’s a guy? Damn…I thought she is hot in that modified nun’s habit…
oh my goodness I can’t wait to preorder bridget
it’s about friggin time, I never thought anyone would get around to making a Bridget fig, best offings were a couple small 4″ pvc’s
