Kotobukiya announced their June release lineup today, including a couple of surprises – their collaboration with Alice Soft continues with the release of Sennin Narika, one of the heroines of the upcoming Choukou Sennin Haruka (Beat Blades Haruka) eroge. Also coming are a swimsuit-clad Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou, Natsume Rin from Little Busters, Hitomi from DOAX2, and perhaps most surprising, a Black Sarena plastic model from the Nadesico movie.

Interesting. Another Black Selena? What, are we having a Nadesico Prince of Darkness revival? However, I’ll be splashing out a bit more to get the Bandai Soul of Chogokin die-cast metal version.
Sennin Narika looks good to me, and Natsume Rin might be fun to play with.
Narika! Definitely looking forward to getting myself Narika’s figure!
Hitomi!!!
She looks awesome!!
Gotta keep an eye out for her on release!
Not too bad, but I bet they’ve got a super release coming soon that’ll really shock us all! ^-^
Narika is not made by Volks, like Haruka ?
I love Suzu. Gonna grab her when preorders are up. That makes it 1 fig. so far in my June get list. ^^
The Black Selena would be interesting for me, if I hadn’t already preordered the Soul Of Chogokin version…
