After looking through the Miyazawa Model Exhibition posts at Akiba Hobby and Moeyo a bit more thoroughly I’ve made a list of items with new and updated information that was presented at the event (along with a few redundancies from our previous coverage). The list can be found below, and will be updated as more detailed information is posted to the various blogs; if there’s something I’ve missed please let me know!

> Daiki’s Mai
Here’s hoping to see the alter color Mai for general release soon. :D
And yes, that black colour scheme reminds me of the event only black and gold Kasumi, which saw the a large number of bootlegs in auction sites/retail shops. :/
Here’s hoping Daiki knows better to keep the profits for themselves and release the figure in sufficient quantities for Mai fans. :)
> Alter Kanu
Is this Alter’s 1st Ikkitosen figure?
I wonder if she’s castoffable. Either way, I think this will be the first Kanu I buy (excluding Cobra-Kai’s Kanu). Alter quality looks great.
> Shiori (Witchblade)
WOOHOO! I don’t remember her every appearing in a bikini in the TV anime. But I’m not complaining. She appears even bigger than Masane. :D
> Bible black figures from C-works
Please, please, please, improve on your quality. You know you have a money printing licence here. So do it properly. :/
> Spica
Finally, another one to accompany my 1/4 re-cast kit. I wonder if she’s resin or PVC. Either way, I’ll gladly get the original this time around. :)

This Kanu is Alter’s first take on Ikkitousen, yep.
Your eyes do not deceive you, Shiori is bigger than Masane (103 cm to Masane’s 98, source is [ERO] Tetrodotoxin though I’m not sure where he got the data originally).
I’m with you on hopes for an improvement in the C-Works Bible Black line, but not very optimistic given the shape poor Shiraki is in…
Spica is coming in PVC (as did Uran); I put a note to the effect that everything listed above is PVC unless specified otherwise, sorry for the lack of clarification.
Thanks again Shingo.
In that case, I’ll have to say that Rihoko’s dad is one lucky man. He gets to do it with 3 of the best ladies in the series… :)
p.s. I know, technically, Shiori died before doing it, but they were so close on the yacht… :p
WHAT! Spica in PVC form!
I’ve been pining over the huge price for a fully completed one, and was always just a click away to getting one, but I just could never hit that buy button, it was just too much.
I hope this turns out just as good and a more reasonable price.
Super tempted by the Black Mai, but I already have a preorder on the regular, and it’s damn expensive… but it’s Toushirou… and I’m weak… so maybe…
Not impressed with the Alter Kanu, especially at 7140yen for 1/8.
Love the Rei & Asuka in their festival garb, wonder how they will translate to PVC though…
overall not really that strong of a lineup when it comes to the “new” things, IMO.
The only ones I’m genuinely interested in are the Alter Kanu and Orchid Seed’s Shiori. I suspect though, that we will be able to obtain them for a reasonable price, some time…
And Orchid Seed? I foresee much delay.
Alter’s Kanu is a definite must get for me. I resisted buying other Kanus ever since I saw Alter’s version (uncolored prototype). She looks awesome. That black version of Cobra-Kai’s Mai looks very tempting too.
I really think the Cobra Kai Mia will be cast off on the top. Fingers are crossed.
wow Kanu is over 7k yen, i was hoping she’s 6k+ *sigh* but still she looks really good. Hmm Reinforce 1/8, though I would have prefer a strikerS Fate 1/8 though
Sad to say that so far nothing here interests me – if only they had larger (read: close-up) pictures of Nao and Orchid Seed’s others. Kanu from Alter is just another typical figure of her to me. Nothing really stands out as a must-buy – which is actually good for me at this time, as I haven’t the money to afford more than the bare amount of figures..
