Today’s Updates
See below for several other items of note that didn’t quite fit in to the update schedule:
Otherwise only available via mail order from Hobby Japan magazine, Alpha Omega’s Excellent Model CORE Queen’s Blade Shizuka (limited edition) is now in stock at Play-Asia. This is likely one of the few opportunities to obtain the figure without paying obscene markups at auction, so those interested who weren’t able to place preorders earlier have another chance now. She’s likely only available in very limited quantity, so quick action is advised if you don’t want to miss out.

2chan’s mokeiura board represents once again with an early glimpse of this month’s issue of Hobby Japan magazine. We bring a rundown of the most exciting bishoujo figure news appearing in this July issue, including the announcement of a new Excellent Model CORE Queen’s Blade figure, three new Figma action figures from Nanoha, Lucky Star, and Ikkitousen, an epic Ivy from Soul Calibur 3, and a whole lot more:
A preorder listing went up this afternoon at Kotobukiya’s Rakuten online shop for a polystone bust statue version of Yamashita Shunya‘s Mirei-san character, earlier released in PVC (HD review here). This new figure is being released as part of Kotobukiya’s “Art of Shunya Yamashita” bust lineup, and is similarly priced at 10,290 yen with release expected in September. She’s non-scale and stands 18.5 cm tall, with a sculpt from Arai Kousuke (Never Land). Images below:
One of the most anticipated figures to be unveiled at Wonder Festival last February is finally here! Happinet’s online shop Moe Soul updated at midnight last night with a listing for their Happinet/Toy’sworks collaboration brand Sugar Mint Complex Kanu Unchou (armored version) PVC figure from Ikkitousen. She’s scheduled for release in August at 7,329 yen retail, scale unspecified (21 cm tall); castoff status and sculptor information have still not been officially revealed. With her up at Moe Soul preorders at other locations should follow shortly. Figure images below:
