Recapping a bit of news from a couple of days ago, the official Shining series figure blog Shine na Blog posted with unpainted prototype shots of a new Shining Wind Blanc Neige figure coming from Kotobukiya. Little is revealed in the entry text (no news as to a release window, price or sculptor information) but it is mentioned that her cape is removable.
President Japan‘s Eye Ball blog brings news of the second recently announced Shining Wind figure, a new rendition of Kureha. The color prototype is pictured before final detailed color tuning, but provides a rough look of what to expect from the final version; again virtually no information regarding the sculptor, price, or release date is provided, though it is noted that her skirt is castoffable. We’ll be keeping an eye out for further information on both figures in the coming weeks. Images below:
so everyone’s having their turn right?
1st is elwyn
second is Mao
third is Neige
the fourth? i bet it’s ryuna.. Can’t wait to see… Or xecty? Or clalaclan? or *insert name here*
anyway, i thought wave corp is releasing xecty. Any news for that?
@chiyochagi
Afaik, Eyescream already release:
Elwyn
Blanc Niege
Mao
Ryuna
And Koto:
Clalaclan
Zexty
Seena
Kureha
So this will be upcoming Koto’s Blanc Niege and Eyescream’s Kureha.
Also, Kureha will have the same sit-on-ground-pose as ryuna :)
These will kill my wallet ;__;
Eye Scream has released:
Elwyn
Blanc Neige
Mao
Ryuna
They will also be producing the Kureha pictured here as well as a Seena, a Houmei, and others.
Kotobukiya has released/will release:
Clalaclan
Xecty
Seena
Kureha
Elwyn
They will also be producing the Blanc Neige pictured here.
… I’m pretty sure that sums things up from the two makers, though I may be forgetting one or two. Sorry I wasn’t more thorough in the initial post.
both look nice, but the Koto Neige is more interesting to me as there are no figures of her in the Tears X Wind outfit yet, and I really like that look.
Also, I think I saw somewhere that the Eyescream Shining Wind figures are going to be 8190yen ea, at 1/8 Scale. I suppose that could change or even that I’m remembering wrong, but I was pretty stunned by that 8190yen, so I don’t think so. Oh, and there is no way in hell that that Kureha is worth that much(even though it is nice).
Koto is counter-attacking eyescream.. I’m sure of it.
well, so far, seeing the prototype, koto has done a real good job at making the atmosphere of T2’s art. Moreover, the details are good and they’re releasing shining girls in their new outfit.
But i don’t really trust koto, IMHO they’re bad at making their final product.. Glossy skins, poor details… you name ’em
Still, can’t wait for xecty in her new outfit…
c’mon koto… don’t you fail us….
Koto Shining series aint that bad..
Im satisfied with my clalaclan and Seena.
*well, aside from tupperware-lids base that is =__=;
Anyway Eyescream’s Shining series do have some special eyes
All the Kureha figures released thus far have been beautiful. Though I confess that everytime I hear this series, I think: ‘Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!’ :P
I still don’t understand why Kotobukiya went BACK to Blanc – what about the other characters? Mao, the loli character..
