Those following the saga of the Alice Soft x Volks figure collaboration project over the past several months were rewarded late last night with the posting over at GA Graphic of the first official look at the prototype for the fan-selected #1 popular Rance series character, Masou Shizuka. Preorders for the PVC figure are expected to open on Monday, August 25th, exclusive to Volks’ online shop and brick and mortar locations, so a proxy buy will be necessary for international fans. Release is scheduled for “this winter”, and she retails at 7,140 yen and 1/6 scale (23 cm tall) with a sculpt from Kamio Rintarou (A-Brand).
Also new from Volks is word that the amply-chested Nanbu Kaguya, heroine of Mugen no Frontier: Super Robot Wars OG Saga, is to receive the figure treatment. She’s also scheduled for a winter release, at 7,875 yen and 1/7 scale (28 cm tall), with a sculpt from Chorosuke (A-Brand). Release is once again exclusive to Volks online and terrestrial shops, with preorders opening on August 25th. This combined with her abundant appearance at Comiket 74 mark a meteoric rise to popularity for a character who hit the market just last May, and we can expect to see more from her in the coming months.

Why they should always ignore the non-japanese customers?! For God sake…
Agreed……
Agreed too … the only one happy with that is my wallet ^^
Yeah my wallet too is dancing happily… Unless GSC save us again as they did with Hatsune Miku
You can be guaranteed that Volks will once again be thwarted by major improvements to these girls through GSC or any of the better companies (i.e: the ones who are not communists). We can see it happening all the time anyway. Many of the old Volks figures have been redone by the better companies many times over (Alter’s Tsukishiro Mi-na is mush better than Volks’).
*shrug*
Looks great, but I’m waiting for Alter to announce their Senhime figure that was on display in WonFes. Now that’s what I’ll be going after!
I agree with the rest too~ We can save up for other figurines and stuffs ^_^
