So far, had about 2 pre-orders for the month of July…I guess its pretty normal to have at least 3 pre-orders permonth >_>
I hope for a PVC or painted release of Musha Miko Tomoe from Griffon, the pose is awesome !
Already preordered Narika, so I’m definitely going to go for Haruka as well!
let’s see…
Mega House + Melting Neuron + Felicia + action pose = Automatic.
would like to see a Mega House of the new QB character.
Suzume looks like a winner. Koto makes you doubt castoff though…
the Art Storm/Lilacs Shunya series launcher ‘Kanaru’ looks like an accurate sculpt, so definitely interesting.
another nice ‘trim the fat’ article, thanks Shingo.
I love Megahouse’s Felicia! Must get.
It’s nice to see Alice in color although I’m not sure if I’ll get her. Aldora looks awesome and I’m looking forward to seeing the figure.
Koto’s Suzume and Haruka (Beat Blades) look nice but I don’t know if it’s enough to warrent a purchase.
That Volks Saber doll looks impressive! It’s probably something I can’t afford though orz
Lots of good stuff coming out.
Most Definitely
Queen’s Gate Mon wo Hiraku Mono Arisu
Queen’s Blade Merona
Yamashita Shunya Collection Series #1 “Kanaru”
Maybe
Sengoku Rance Suzume
To Love-Ru’s Lala Satalin Deviluke
About MegaHouse..
-Felicia coming up from MEGAHOUSE is a good step, Felicia was produced by ORGANIC lately, so Capcomaniax might produce Cammy and Chun-Li. Felicia Pose is extremely Goshhhh!!! I think all depends in the final sample (Sze of the head have to be normal, really? haha and a big package). I have in my mind this and Ibuki.
-Blassreiter girl in Excellent Model… nothing special… no attractive
-Ramba Ral.. I m totally agree that companies produce PVC Male characters but in this case an Old character from gundam… What for? It could be other character from Gundam seed or Destiny.
-Alpha Omega´s Alice, lovely face and butt ^_^ pretty nice details, good for the collection but not interested for until know how much it cost.(less than 5,500 yens would be good)
-Excellent Model Mellona, as I said in other post, Yamachichi made a good job with Tomoe and Cattleya, so perfect sculpted and in this the Only Thing matters is the kind of pink colors gonna to use, seariously I don´t want a shiny Pinky Pinky XDDD
-Tomoe resin kit in a perfect pose.
-Queens blade new character Aldora interestng but I think Arein is cooler, and I really hope she (Arein) in Excellent Model Core.
-Remember Arein?—- http://heiseidemocracy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/200803hj_pre_01.jpg (right side.. She looks like a Sweet heart warrior 0_o so Lovely) Would be a dream to get her in November as part of CORE Collection, don´t you think?
About Max Factoy
-Figma cool staff! Al the characters from the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, ready to do the Hare Hare Yukai dance XD
-Figma Nanoha also Cool!
-And comment apart I would like more Code Geass Figma Figures, like Kallen and C.C. and well all depends the relation between Banpresto (Bandai) and Max Factory.
Notice that Figma body concept is better than Bandai concept (I am really sure, comparing Figma with saint seiya plain cloth) specially with female bodies. You GO Figma
Kotobukiya…
-I am gonna to wait see Sennin Haruka with the fnal paint job.
About Others…
-GSC Love-Ru’s Lala, I was expecting more, i don´t like it.
-Kanaru is like “Am too sexy for a PVC Kit” Is very provocative *0*
Thank You so much Shingo for Post all that Information!!, If you see something more interesting When You get HJ magazine don´t forget to mention it :P
Volks Saber has me hooked, but 2 feet tall?!
I’m thinking it’s falling under the lines of a Dolfie, but it looks more like a figure than a doll. Here’s to praying it’s under $300 and I might order one. Knowing Volks, it’ll be limited/exclusive to Japan only. T.T Meaning more costs for deputy services. >.<
NVM, just noticed the Dolfie Dream logo. Ugh… it’s going to be expensive…
Holy hell! Ramba Ral?! AWESOME! Totally freaking randomly AWESOME!
[...] I dunno about you but I always love Queen’s Blade news. The latest news comes courtesy of Shingo at HeiseiDemocracy, who found an early preview of the May issue of japanese hobby magazine Hobby [...]
Very impressive Dollfie Saber. Guess it’s gonna cost about S$1000+. If it’s available from internationally shipping webshops, I think I will definitely get 1. This is probably the largest Saber ever, excluding those real-sized Mannequins at WHFest events only, of course.
Too many to list! I’ll take them all! :3
The Saber is going to cost over a thousand bucks….just watch…..sob ;_;
It amazes me how well they’ve managed to bring forth the amazing Shunya Yamashita artwork in 3D. I’ve already got the Arisa… looks like I’ll need that Kanaru as well.
Plenty of other great stuff in there too. Thanks, Shingo!
Love the Saber Dollfie, Volks seems to be hit and miss on the faces for there charter dolls. I don’t see her hitting 100,000 yen more likly in the 60,000 – 70,000 range. The Mikuru they have up right now is 50,400 yen. http://www.volks.co.jp/en/goods/index_goods.aspx?sbct=18&sbct=17
