The official site for Hong Kong-based figure maker Hobby Figures went online today! Content is available in both Japanese and English, and while it doesn’t present much information that we hadn’t already seen it does have a nice product page up for their Mugen release, as well as information on their Queen’s Blade PVC lineup – apparently the first figure will be Echidna, not Risty as we reported on the 17th, and she’s due out in October of this year. We’ll keep an eye on the page for further updates in the coming weeks and months. Edit: some time in the past few hours the page was edited to say that Risty will in fact be the first figure released in their Queen’s Blade series. I’m not sure what’s going on here, but hopefully this will be the final word on the matter. Edit 2: I just received confirmation from a Hobby Figures staff member that their first Queen’s Blade figure will in fact be Risty (“Listy”) as originally reported, and not Echidna. Looks like the matter can officially be put to rest. (no more)

As of when I looked at their site (thanks for the news and link), it said that Risty/Listy would be the first QB figure.
Doh! I swear to you, I’m not hallucinating – earlier today when I composed this entry it said Echidna. Argh. Guess it’s editing time… thanks for letting me know.
I’m not doubting you, man. I think besting Mega House & OSIRIS’s Echidona would be a very tall order so I’m glad that Risty is coming first.
Awesome news- I hope she looks good- I love Risty.
I will have to see the figure first before deciding. Megahouse has set a very high standard to follow, both in terms of quality and price. So unless it’s on par with Megahouse or something special, I doubt I will add a new QB company to my growing figure list. $ is quite tight now. And already, I’ve added Griffon QB line to my list. They’re special since they’re larger at 1/6 scale.
