Wow! Nanael looks awesome. I can’t wait to see the colored version. Len is very cute, but knowing Volks it’ll most likely be a Volks store exclusive. orz SO want that Ivy but omg @ the price. *cries* Not too interested in figmas although Fate is tempting. Will definitely be getting GSC’s Hime!
Figma Konata finally, yay! ♥ Glad to see GSC is making Hime, I almost bought Chrono Gate’s rendition of Reiri but now I’m hoping GSC will roll one out instead. Thanks for the scoop!
Woot!!! I’m surprised Konata is the first out of the Lucky Star set. Wooooooooooooooooooooot!!!
Fate figma… I might or might not get her and Emiri looks tempting.
Come on Max, plz release a Emiri fig. :3
OMG!!! A new FREEing bunny >_<;;;!!! Such jubliation!!! Ah the future in figure mania is so bright! I’m totally digging Hime’s scissors, she could be set to be the perfect dressmaker’s companion ^_^
Uwaaah~! So excited! My mania is refreshed!
At long last! Excellent Model Core Nanael! Its a must-buy for my Queens Blade collection! The same goes for Figma Fate, Konata and Kanu! Thanks Shingo for the Hobby Japan scans and feature figures… =)
Yes! They’re finally making Nanael! This is the best news I’ve heard all week.
Nanael, Ivy, Emiri … must catch them all !
And more figma to come, whoohoo !
Nanael and Kanu figma for me
Hey Shingo, there’s some more pics in 2chan, could you translate that too ? Especially the Ikki Tousen Trading figure and Revo Fraulein 008 : Rei. :)
would prefer oujo-sama with her chainsaw instead.
but love oujo-sama, receive fuga-fuga? WANT
Nanael! Megahouse really knows how to take a guy’s money. I hope they do some of the older characters too. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Risty, Irma, or Menace…
Looking forward to getting the Ivy figurine….but the price of 12800yen is a bit hard to swallow (guess it’ll be instant noodle dinners for now) Wonder if they will release her in her dark outfit ver?
Dammit, Freeing! Not more Bunny Girls! I thought I was done spending money on those…
Even worse. I just came across the Haruhi bunny picture again, and after Kimidori we’re still missing one – Asakura Ryouko in electric blue. @_@
Yeah. I thought we’ve done with Freeing 1/4 Bunny Girls. Guess not. Hmm…should I get this one? Emiri’s cute.
And the way things are going, I might end up with the Megahouse’s Nanael before I get my (delayed again) Griffon one.
Figma Kanu preorder is open!
Full post with details coming in the next hour or so once I get off work.
FREEing Emiri for me, as well as the Nanael. Still stumped why figure makers haven’t gone for a scale fixed-pose figure of any of the Lucky Star girls..I hate figma stuff, unless they wear armour like Saber, as the joints seem more aesthetic..
Figma Fate and GSC Hime for me. I’m with Deibi on the Lucky Star point. We need some scaled Lucky Star goodness!
