Online shop Infinity Wonderland put up a preorder listing yesterday for [ERO] C-Works’ Shiraki Rika PVC from Shin Bible Black vol. 4 (first scooped back in November). This figure continues in the notorious tradition of Imari and Saeki, with a sculpt from Tainidou Tinykid and skirt and chest castoff configuration; it’s scheduled for release in April at 6,825 yen (size details are not disclosed in the listing, but she’s presumably 1/6 scale like her predecessors). In other news, an entry yesterday evening on the Goodsmile blog shows off the flexible shirt gimmick of Max Factory’s POLO System Wendy from Gun x Sword. This makes her a bit more interesting than originally expected… Finally, preorders were up briefly on Goodsmile’s official online shop yesterday evening for their Dark Elf Female PVC from Lineage II. She sold out within a few hours, but hopefully the release of this new batch onto the market will make her a bit easier to come by second-hand. (no more)
I know it’s been said elsewhere, but here they have this new POLO cast-off system and access to Gun x Sword licensing, and they’re using it on Wendy? No Fasalina? Excuse me?
I don’t understand it either. Le sigh… =_= Still, I suppose Wendy is better than nothing at all; maybe if she does well Fasalina will follow.
Did the dark elf really sell out that quickly? I got up and checked and she was GONE in just a few hours. I couldn’t believe it. I was gonna use a proxy too… I’m so disappointed.
That Dark Elf figure is sooooo frustrating!
Why won’t GSC release it as a regular instead of an exclusive? So sad………….. =(
The figure in the game has blue skin- I would love it if they realeased a blue skinned version.
Either way she looks amazing….definetly keeping my eye out through 2008.
I’m waiting to see the final final result of the Wendy before making judgement.
But, she’s looking good! ^^
I have the same thoughts as J and Shingo: Why Wendy and not Fasalina?
(I guess those who love Lolis will disagree with us very strongly. 8))
As for the BB Shiraki, I guess I will still buy one to complete the set. After all, Bible Black characters are hard to come by now, considering how old the game was. Maybe, the third time’s the charm. 8) (Or it could be 3 strikes and you’re out…8( )

Here’s hoping for a general release of the standard blue skin Dark Elf from GSC.
p.s. I am holding out from buying a bootleg dark elf. But I do hope GSC don’t test my patience too long if they want my money. 8/
Went through a deputy service too, though I emailed them about it 2 months ago. :p
Just need to wait for the release. >.<
benippon is having a random drawing for dark elf which might be worth a shot if you don’t want to go through a proxy service.

As for me I’m (futilely) crossing my fingers for a general release (shakes fists at GC).
