Announced shortly after the original set went on sale (review pending), news on the second series of Medicom’s Chouzou Queen’s Blade Collection Figures has been sparse since last fall. An update over at the official Medicos blog breaks the long silence with a photo of the set’s Echidna prototype, and the news that she’ll be accompanied by Tomoe and Menace when released this coming October. The Tomoe and Menace prototypes will debut in Hobby Japan magazine; we’ll be keeping an eye out for them along with further news on this set as it becomes available. Image below:

After taking a close look at the first 3 busts, I found them to be a bit weird lookin what with their “Oh” faces. That Echidna looks really nicely detailed so far though. I think Tomoe and Menace have potential to look nice too. Lookin forward to see what the finished products look like.
excellent sculpt detail, is Series 2 also by Saito Heel?

I’m not aware that the sculptor has been officially credited yet, but my guess is that Saito Heel is reprising his role here.

This isn’t 4chan, you know. :3
Guess I will still pre-order them as a QB fan, but their attacked by tentacles look is getting repetitive… 8/
>>blacklotus
haha I couldn’t put a finger on exactly what that kind of look should be called. You may have hit the mark with that description lol.
I’m also getting tired of it though. When the first series busts came out they didn’t look as nice as I thought they’d be lol.

Thanks. I guess my accurate description that comes from watching/reading too much tentacle-porn… (-_-)”
Anyway, I agree the quality isn’t very good. But that’s expected, I suppose, since these are (expensive) gashapons, and not full-fledged figures.
