Am waiting for Chu Chu Astram as well. Wonder when they will release http://www.moeside.net/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2007/f55e1812e879_14097/214_thumb.jpg (Can’t remember the original source. Probably got it from moeyo)

>>Banner
I’m guessing more Queen’s Blade from Megahouse / Alpha Omega is inevitable, I just hope they keep up with the schedule they’ve been putting them out at over the past couple of years. No slacking, you hear me Megahouse? >:O

>>Y, nebbyn, gundamjehutykai
Damn it guys, I was trying to resist the Kanu but you’re wearing down my willpower… I may end up succumbing to the castoff lure despite her shortcomings. ;__;

>>the_pseudokings
It would be great if Musashiya put out PVCs of their cold cast lineup, if they went for about half the price of the cold casts I’d be much more tempted. I have a Ryomo of theirs from a couple of years ago, but since then I haven’t been able to justify ponying up the cash…

>>uinreli
I think you’re correct that Subaru will be coming to the Figma lineup (as well as some of the other Nanoha characters), but I don’t believe she’s been officially announced online anywhere yet.

>>Deibi Manabu
Good luck maintaining fiscal restraint in the new year, I fear it’s a lost cause for many of us… ;_;

>>blacklotus
Thanks! I’m not quite so convinced that Taki’s second Kanu will fly off the shelves, but I guess we’ll see.

>>Baldulf
Yours and mine both. I’m guessing she’ll be headed for a May release, June at the latest… we’ll be keeping a sharp eye out for any further news.

Add one more to Astram’s fan club.

I just hope they don’t release her too soon,my bank count is also making S.O.S. signals.

That Kanu isn’t bad, per se. Just unfinished in terms of sculpt. you could see that it could have been great with perhaps more time and effort but we got that instead.

First things first: WELCOME BACK SHINGO; I really missed your figure info/reviews. 8)

Astram’s a definite buy for me as I have a BIG thing for female vampires/succubi. 8D
The only question is should I get one or a pair? Guess it depends on the pricing.

As for Taki’s Kanu, she looks fully castoffable. However, one resolution for the new year is to get only figures with proper sculptor’s credits. The only exception I make is for Gigapulse(full ero) and Banpresto/Sega’s(cheap) stuff.

Having said that, I believe this Taki Kanu will be sold out rather quickly too. So for those that need a fully castoffable Kanu (regardless of quality), reserve it early.

As for Priecia, she can compete with Shall for ‘Who has the most outrageous anime (blonde) hair?’ 8) Guess I will see how castoffable she is first before reserving/buying one. At 8K yen for a 1/8 figure, I think this is a PVC record. 8(

I’m still waiting for the Figma Subaru Nakajima… or did I get it totally wrong and it’s not Figma but something else??

Oy, I swore to myself to limit my figure consumption this year, and to get no more Ikkitousen figures….. but sonofabitch, that Kanu…. I don’t know, but I really like it for some reason. sigh >< Plus that Yoko looks really nice, too. Ah well, I didn’t need money this year either…

Chu Chu Astram = Must Buy. All the way.

Vispo’s Yoko has a lot of potential.

Would like to see PVCs of those 2 Musashiya Resins.

Took me like 90 seconds to realize the Taki Kanu was actually supposed to be Kanu the first time I saw it the other day. That’s pretty bad.

I don’t know, I kinda like that Kanu. Might have to give Taki a try once more pics show up.

Dang Nabbit!! It’s either a good Kanu or a cast off Kanu. I still haven’t figured which one I’m gonna get between Alter and TAKI.

Also, Heres hoping 08 will release some more great Queens Blade other that wwhats already been announce and released.

>>Work_Ethic
I kind of hope that ’08 doesn’t top last year in the figure department, for the sake of my wallet… ;__; I’m pretty psyched for the Astram, she’s the one definite buy of this batch for me.

Ohhhh the Chu Chu Astram looks nice. I’m on the fence about the previous Melissa Selfia but will probably get her along with the Kemeko. They look really nice. 2007 was a great year for figs, but 2008 looks like it could top it.!

Thanx Shingo.
