Amiami snuck a late update in tonight, presenting at long last a pair of Witchblade PVCs from Toranoana that we’ve had our eye on here since August: Masane and Shiori. Both are due out in early February at 1/10 scale and 5,040 yen each; sculpt is from Koyama Kou, who seems to have done some work for Namco in the past and had a kit featured at Wonder Festival but is otherwise under the radar. Based on the sample images I’m a bit skeptical of the quality on these, but the price is certainly reasonable; along with Orchid Seed’s Shiori these may be the last Witchblade kits we ever see, so here’s hoping Tora can do them justice. (no more)
Here’s hoping these last 2 figures will allow the series to go out with a bang. 8)
It’s too bad that this series didn’t catch on with the Japanese. I definitely think it’s up there with Fate/Stay Night in terms of production value and storyline.
Personally I find it better than Ikkitosen/Tenge Tenhou. At least the storyline has a proper, if sad conclusion.
Well, I pre-ordered from HS based on the prototypes. Hopefully, Toranoana doesn’t disappoint me with poor quality production. 8)
I agree, I wish they do another season ^^
