A few random figure news items from yesterday, starting with this: the black uniform version of Alter’s Kanu Unchou PVC that we scooped in December is now available for preorder. It’s an exclusive Hobby Japan online shop release, so if you’re looking to score a copy proxying may be the only way to go. Next, the official Goodsmile blog updated with an informal profile of the Kemeko Nendoroid from Kemeko Deluxe that we scooped in the figure fallout from C73. It turns out the freakish chibi Kemeko is actually a “human”-shaped robot in which Em-Em rides; stay tuned for further updates on this and the companion 1/8-scale Em-Em figure from Goodsmile soon. Finally, Max Factory action figure brand Figma aired a commercial last night (viewable here) along with the first episode of ARIA The ORIGINATION that featured their Nagato Yuki in a brief stop-motion animation version of the Haruhi dance. (no more)
Hah!! Love the Figma commercial!! That rocked!!
Cool figma stop-motion animation. Always loved this form of animation since my Harryhausen encounters way back in my teens (Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, etc)
Hopefully, the figma quality will be better than the Kaiyodo Revol-tech range. Kaiyodo tend to have loose joints straight out the box and has posing problems without resorting to blu-tac. 8/
How would you translate the slogan?
“Moves well. Beauty”
mmmmm….that kanu is delicious.
Man, now i’m stuck i don’t know which version of Alter’s Kanu i’m gonna get, i really like the regular school uniform version but this black is also visually appealing…decisions…decisions…
And i’m still waiting for your review of Daiki’s 1/5 Mai Shingo, lol, i need your detailed pics to help further my desire to buy the figure because figures are a plenty but money is not, lol.
Peace

Where is everyone? No updates for 2 days…hope you’re OK Shingo
I was thinking that too Y- is everything okay?? Give us a shout if your need help buddy!
Also concerned. Maybe he’s taking a rest from the whole Comiket madness…
Maybe he’s taking a long well-deserved New Year’s break. All the best Shingo. 8)
