As the student council president, Katsura Hinagiku comes with a variety of facial expressions; from her normal face, to embarrassment, to anger. Also included are her favorite beloved wooden/bamboo swords and an optional nekomimi headpiece.

From humble beginnings, the original Worms™ titles took PC gaming to new levels of popularity and mass appeal. Selling in excess of 25 million copies over its 15 year lifespan, Worms™ has taken its wholly unique brand of addictive gameplay, hilarious humour and wild weaponry across almost every console possible, and on Thursday 26th August 2010 it will be returning to the format that made it most successful; the personal computer.

Sure, these two are the biggest franchises in fighting games, next to SNK, which has already collaborated with Capcom. But it still didn’t make me that excited. Sure, I’m happy that there will be another game. Sure, I’m happy that the fighting game genre is on a roll recently.

What everybody else seems to be excited about is the prospect of Tekken characters in a Street Fighter game or vice versa. Am I excited about that?

It didn’t even make me flinch.

Goodsmile Company's latest release comes in the form of another Nendoroid Petit set! This time they release the 2nd set of Angel Beats! characters. This time the set features Tenshi, the flat-chested student council president, Otonashi, the main protagonist of the series, and finally the adorable vocalist and guitarist of the band Girls Dead Monster, Yui!

Each figure comes with optional items, such as Tenshi's Hand Sonic parts, Otonashi's gun and Yui's guitar, allowing for a variety of different poses and scenes to be remade in Nendoroid form. Tenshi also comes with two facial expressions: her standard emotionless face, as well as the smiling face that she showed in the final episode.

I'd personally say this set is far better than the first one, given they put Yui, Otonashi and Tenshi together in a single set. I was thinking they would've split these characters up, considering their popularity. But no matter, the set retails for 2,000 yen at your local hobby shops and is available for pre-order right now! The petit set should be set for release sometime in November. Keep your wallets full as there are sure to be more sets coming in the future!

Good Smile Company really likes teasing us.  Posted on their Facebook page, they recently uploaded pictures of their latest Nendoroid Petit set: Racing Miku Set 2010 Version.  Featuring Miku, Rin and Luka all in racing/pit-stop outfits, this set is sure to be another hit.  Like the previous Nendoroid Petit Miku Racing set, this package also features another Nendoroid race car.  Users that missed out on the exclusive and limited full-sized Nendoroid Racing Miku now have a chance to recapture her in petit form!  The release date and exclusiveness for this Nendoroid Petit set is unknown, but usually when Good Smile Company posts images on their Facebook, the figure in question becomes available for pre-order in a couple of days.  So keep your eyes peeled and check your local online retailer.
