Figure News EXTEND

• The official Revoltech blog updated with a photo of the Dengeki Daioh magazine-limited version of their Yotsubato! Fuuka PVC (available through next month’s Daioh). There is also a teaser shot of the Yotsuba Revoltech expansion, which will be scooped in next month’s Daioh (the set itself is scheduled for standard unlimited release).

• Yamato’s VMF Ryomou Shimei action figure is now available for preorder! See our earlier scoop for further details.

• A new brand called “MOON TOYS” is producing a Shimada Fumikane Collection vol. 1 Elizabeth figure. She’s 1/12 scale, 16 cm tall, and due out in September at 5,040 yen. Looking like a slightly larger version of a Konami Mechamusume makes that price seem awfully high…

• Kotobukiya’s online shop is getting a hellishly ugly limited edition version of Midare Fundoshi Sugimoto Anna (Daiki Kougyou production, Cobra-Kai’s Toushirou on sculpt). Never have I been so happy that this is an alternate version and not the main release…

• The official Toypla blog updated today with the news that they’re producing larger (compared to their earlier versions) chibi versions of Melissa Serafi and Chu Chu Astram from Waga Mama Capriccio and Chu Chu Idol. They’re scheduled for release this summer at Comic Market 74.

• Pleasant Angels sub-brand Lipmates’ Ore no Yome series #2 Tsuyokiss Yashi Nagomi‘s castoff was unveiled today on the figure’s official site. I’m not sure why the image is covered with watermarks, but it doesn’t do her any favors.

• Finally, Amiami updated their listing for Orchid Seed’s Summer Vacation Kanu Unchou this evening with a whole new batch of images, and she’s looking smoking hot. The photo set includes the first pictures we’ve seen of her castoff, which is very nicely done, I must say:

• Buy Orchid’s Summer Vacation Kanu at Play Asia
