[GSC] Black ★ Rock Shooter Nendoroid and Figma
Written by Benjamin Chu
As popular as ever, Good Smile Company has released the Black ★ Rock Shooter Nendoroid and figma for pre-order at local internet retailers. As we've all seen the pre-production pictures, these finalized PVC figures are sure to be a treat for any BRS fan. Pre-order numbers hit in the 20,000 range within the first day!
The Nendoroid version comes with her Rock Cannon and Black Blade and even comes with the checkered stand. Like all Nendroids, extra hair parts and different attachments are included.
Akibahobby has uploaded a single photo taken at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, of a 1/7 scale PVC prototype Rin Tosaka from Fate/stay night. The figure is impressively sculpted with careful attention to the contours of the body, though the shirt is rather unrealistically tight around her chest. No detailed sign was included in the photo but the figure was placed with other Goodsmile figures, thus leading us to assume it's most likely being manufactured by Goodsmile or possibly Max Factory.
As an added note, an additional photo shows that Goodsmile will be releasing yet another PVC figure of Saber from the same series, though after carefully examining her foot and chest armor it clearly shows that it's a 1/7 scale Dark Saber. Also note the absence of her signature ahoge on her head. We'll update accordingly with more information and photos as they appear online inside.
Update: Added more photos.

Figure company Alter has officially released new information on several new figures that were originally seen earlier this year at the Winter Wonder Festival. Continuing their Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha figure line, Alter is releasing a beautifully painted and sculpted figure of Vivio Takamachi's adult form. From the airbrushed thighs, the shiny boots and waist armor, to the carefully sculpted twists and curls of her hair, this is turning into one fantastic figure. It's unfortunate though to see that after several years, Alter still continues to release their figures with their plain bases.She will be released in July 2010 for roughly 8,190 yen.
