“Kotobukiya shop limited” means the figure will only be available through Kotobukiya shops (inside Japan – it seems a lot of foreign retailers and wholesalers receive shipments of them as well, so probably won’t be an issue).

>>suneo
I’m pretty sure Megahouse will win in that tug of war. It may be that the Alpha Omega brand was established specifically so Alter could produce ecchi figures without tarnishing the image of the main brand (not that any of these companies has the sort of reputation that would be soiled by producing a castoff figure, I think).

>>blacklotus
Yep, we talked about the Moetan Pastel Ink Queen’s Gate release in our coverage of the previous HJ issue… I think I’ll be ordering it regardless. :/

QG Alice better be castoffable, else she’ll be the first to break the trend. And that’s not a good thing.

p.s. QG MOE Ink is mail-in limited, and definitely not to my liking (age and proportion-wise). But at least she’s still castoffable. 8)

you know…I just thought of something. I’ve heard that Alter has never made a full cast-off figure before. Does this mean that Gate Opener Alice may not be cast-off-able? Or does Alpha x Omega work on a different set of rules? lol

Wow, ballistic post there, Shingo! ^^

Out of the lot, I’m really only interested in Ibuki and Mellona figures at this time. As some of them are only in pre-painted form, I can’t judge them properly. We’ll see! ^^

I´m kind of sick about re-editions, the only new figure that I like from MegaHouse is Ibuki

Yamachichi made a good job in the face of Cattleya and TOMOE, so with mellona is gonna be cool the final result (consderng that I dont like her too much)

Thanks for the Info, Shingoo

For the next thing I type in after this sentence, you’ve gotta imagine that I’m a frustated dean of a university beleaguered by a certain fraternity’s antics:

“MEGAHOUSE!”

Anyway, damn them for making such desirable objects cast in PVC! I might as well just send them my paychecks directly. And I thought I was going to get off easily this year…

Also, Yamato’s Air Gear fig looks amazing in color! ARGH!

As much as I like Air Gear, hentai-kamen Ringo is just stupid.

Omg amazing scoop! Ibuki is a must get for sure. Mika is looking great too. Omg more Shuraki figures? My wallet is crying already. I really love that upcoming Ryomou and Shunya’s Myuu looks awesome too.

my god my head is about to explode from all the good stuff that’s coming out. The Ibuki and Alice figures look awesome. Another Blood and Louise look nice. Ringo looks incredible, and still waiting on a finished look on the Ryomou maid. And lastly Shunya’s Myuu looks pretty good too. Also…I wanna see what the next Shuraki looks like!

OMFG! Yesss! I’ve waiting on this one forever! What does “Kotobukiya shop limited” mean?

My bank account is going to feel the pain in the next six months… That R Mika is looking great. Gotta love the “healthy” proportions!
