Just pre-ordered Ibuki,
I would like to see Ivy and Taki from Soul caliber too.

That’s a good question. I’m not sure why they’re not doing Soul Calibur and Tales-series figures… I guess they’re not quite as popular as Squeenix games and DOA/Street Fighter, but that doesn’t explain their utter absence from the scene. Maybe we’ll get NAMCOMANIAX after this Capcom series plays out. Holding out hopes.

Mellona is definitely castoffable; I can’t imagine that the main QB line would break from tradition in such a radical way that they wouldn’t go that route. I’ll definitely eat my hat this time if I’m wrong (still waiting on Alter’s Kanu…).

ACtualy upon further studying, it appears as MAYBE the hands themselfs might come apart from the hair peice,would need more detailed pictures to be sure…

No clue about any other cast off hints, tho her nether region sure does look more details than any other QB/MH figure i’ve seen to date, but that could be an optical illusion from the…..goo? :)

Cant tell if her skirt is cast or not..but here’s to hoping!

MEllona looks very nice.. I was pondering her cast off-ability too.. It seems that the only way i can tell is if you can remove the front hair peice and replace it with another.. which wouldn’t be so far fetched..

Wonder if you can remove that little snake friend of hers on her leg :)

Ibuki for sure. The only thing that concerns me is the base but we’ll see.

I could use an Core series Ivy from Soulcaliber. Better still if she’s castoffable. (Not ever likely, but I can dream.)

I suppose SoulCal is too old and not in the news for any new figures. Maybe, when the next game is launched, we’ll see renewed interest in figures from this series. There’s also a lack of SF figures until recently.

I’m still waiting for other KOF figures besides Mai.

Here’s one for you guys (Shingo, blacklotus & etc.) if anyone’s still checking in on this article: Bandai merged with Namco famously a few years ago, and they own Mega House – so why aren’t there Tales series and Soul Calibur Excellent Model Series figures coming out every month? I know I could go for an Ivy and a Sheena Fujibayashi. What do you guys think?

Thanks again to Shingo for educating me on the significance of this Megahouse-Bandai link.

This puts Bandai in a much better light to me, as I had always thought Bandai is a 1-trick company, with only Gundam as its sole cash cow.

I like Ibuki in the game(as a significant change from the similar Ken/Ryu/Sagat/Akuma).

As for 4 new figures, I like Mellona the most. Since we’ve yet gotten a Menace figure, Mellona’s the closest proxy to the real thing then. 8)

And yeah, Mellona looks like she’s fully castoffable as Cattleya. 8)

Hmm… this Ibuki is a lot more… ‘developed’ than the game counterpart. It’s nice, though I never playing her.

Alice looks very very nice.

Mellona and Alice, like all the Megahouse QBs, are must buys for me.

Well, I guess if I can’t get Alter’s Alice, I’ll get this Megahouse one, I’ve been really tempted to get the megahouse one since I saw it in Hobby Japan May 08, very nice indeed.

Well as a Toushirou/Capcom/Melting Neuron geek the Capcomaniax duo are no-brainers for me.

Mellona and Alice both look excellent, though it is significantly less likely I will get them due to just not having the same character and sculptor affinity. They are definitely worthy though, so maybe.
