Today’s Updates
See below for a bunch more figure news, including Orchid Seed’s Kai Harn in color, Volks’s Kagamine Rin and Len, and arguably the two cutest trading figure releases of the year. A note at the bottom of the post for doujin fans as well:
GA Graphic updated this evening with the news that figure maker Toy’sworks will be producing a PVC rendition of Nogizaka Haruka, heroine of light novel series Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (an anime version was recently announced as well). The figure depicts Haruka in her cosplay uniform and is scheduled for release “this fall”, at 1/8 scale (19 cm tall) and 6,800 yen retail. The sculptor is currently uncredited and castoffability uncertain, though skirt removal seems likely. An alternate color “honey lemon” version is being planned as well; more pictures are available at GA Graphic’s post. We’ll keep an eye out for preorder listings, which are expected within the next week or so. (no more)
Figure maker Goodsmile updated their official page this afternoon with a listing for Kaibutsu Oujo‘s (Princess Resurrection) Hime and Petit Nendoroid Flandre PVC set. The listing confirms our earlier report on the set, with the news that she’s due out in October at 7,200 yen retail and 1/7 scale (23 cm tall) with a sculpt from Nanashi and cooperation from Nendoron. No castoffability is evident. Images below:
Figure maker Kotobukiya updated this afternoon with a vendor listing for a new Ayanami Rei (gothic lolita “noir” version) PVC figure from Neon Genesis Evangelion. She’s set for release in October at 7,140 yen and 1/7 scale (height unspecified), with a sculpt from Nishimura Naoki (Pilot). She’s designed to match Kotobukiya’s earlier released gothic lolita Asuka, and her hat is removable. Images below:
Figure maker Alter updated their official site this morning with listings for three new figures scheduled to appear in their October ’08 release lineup! The first is Ayanami Rei, heroine of the Eva franchise (here credited as being from the new movie, though it’s hard to tell). Her sculpt is from Numakura Toshiaki, and she’s set for release at 1/8 scale (17 cm long) and 6,090 yen retail. Next up is Elizabeth from Persona 3 FES, with a sculpt from Saitou Fumiki. She’s also due out at 6,090 yen and 1/8 scale (22 cm tall). Finally there’s Aya, from Onee-Chanbara VorteX. She’s due out at 1/7 scale (25 cm tall) and 8,190 yen, with a sculpt from Takeuchi Goutarou (Atelier Bamboo). None of the three appear to be significantly castoffable. Images below:
