Figure News EXTEND
Queen’s Blade Shizuka is now on sale! My copy came in tonight and I’ve begun the review process with the goal of getting her up as soon as possible tomorrow. From first impressions I can say that she’s a great kit that fits well within the Megahouse QB lineup (despite being nominally from Alpha Omega), and if you’ve been sitting on the fence you should probably act fast because she’s disappearing from shops with alarming speed.
A bit regarding Shizuka’s back story: she’s not one of the main Queen’s Blade characters, instead being the antagonist in Queen’s Blade Bitoshi Gaiden #1: Musha Miko Emaki, a kick-ass full color picture book (full page illustrations with minor text overlays telling the story) plus drama CD, featuring Shizuka’s battles with Tomoe as head of a fearsome demon army. Shizuka is voiced on the drama CD by the cheerfully ecchi Asano Masumi and Tomoe by Noto Mamiko – definitely worth a listen.

World Hobby Festival Kobe 28 Final was held today! No major reports have appeared online as of this posting, but we’ll be keeping the radar up over the next few days for any fallout that emerges.
I said this morning that I would watch Macross Frontier ep. 4 tonight and rant about it here, and having just finished, wow. I never thought I’d hear My Boyfriend is a Pilot in the series, I never thought there would be a full-blooded Zentradi who turned into a moe mascot when Micloned, and I’m generally really happy with how things are progressing – it’s feeling like the series might be doing things for itself and not just relying on a bunch of beautiful animation and gimmicks from earlier shows. Oh, and Nanase is fun too. :3 Watching this show is a joy, and if it gets better from here I think we’ll have classic potential on our hands.
Where’d you snag your copy of Shizuka from Shingo?
Mine’s still at amazon and they say it’s delayed until May 1st :( I guess it’s a small price to pay when I only dropped 4800 on it :D
Hey, ‘My Boyfriend’s a Pilot’ still my ringtone as of today. I’ve been using it since HPs can be customised with MP3 ringtones. 8)
Well, I’ll be watching it soon. Waiting for fansubbed versions, unless of course, some company can release a GOOD, ACCURATE English subtitled version first. Not likely though.
Resort Boin 2’s screencaps have already been available on Getchu for some weeks. Now what we want is a pretty, fully-animated trailer… ;p

I get most of my figures these days from Amiami. With shipping and handling they’re sometimes more expensive than Amazon, but they’re great about getting things shipped as soon as possible following release.
>>blacklotus
Fansubs are already out and about. I’m with you in the hope that the series will get a quality English language release soon.
>>Ialda
Indeed they have. I might have even mentioned it here back when they appeared… sometimes I post these things as a reminder to myself more than anything, apologies for the mislabeling of the Milky update as “news”. Maybe I should start a new section called “pointless Shingo notes to self”…
I don’t mind late news as long as they are news to me :P.
Funny how Kuran Kuran alone has just propelled Macross Frontier’s doujin potential to the roof and beyond; I wouldn’t mind ero doujins about both her forms and maybe a 1/8 scale figure of her normal form… that’d be nuts. :D
