In one of our first test video product review, we take a look at the 1/8 scale Atago: Heavy Armament Ver. which is a part of the limited Wonderful Hobby Selection line.
We're still working out the kinks of the format and lighting, but we're hoping to release more in the future!

Good Smile Company has finally released additional information regarding the highly anticipated Belldandy figure from the popular series Ah! My Goddess.

The figure will be release as part of figure maker Max Factory's 25th anniversary. The figure was originally a garage kit but due to the complexity of the kit, making a faithful PVC rendition would have proven too difficult. From the delicate curves of the wings, to the thin strands of hair, if I could only pick 1 figure to own, this would be it!

She will be available for preorder starting on February 22 for a whopping 19,800 yen, probably one of the most expensive PVC figure to date! Check out additional images inside.

With a rough total of 195 new figures at the latest Winter Wonder Festival 2013, there is a lot to cover. Fortunately, we've taken the time to look through most of the new releases and picked out the best ones we think deserve the spotlight and your precious pre-order dollars.

Not surprisingly, Good Smile Company ranks in as #1 for their sheer number of new figures.  Granted more than half of them are Nendoroid and Nendoroid Petit series, but they've covered good ground and haven't left their non-Nendoroid fans in the dark.

Max Factory has 26 new figures, most of them are figmas, while Kotobukiya previewed 11 new figures for their line up.  (Warning: This post is very image heavy.)

Continuing with the updates, Max Factory has on display colored PVC samples of Mio Akiyama in her maid outfit with guitar, and Ritsu Tainaka from the high school girl band series K-On! Max Factory had previously released both girls as part of their posable figma line. More updates to come as more images are released inside.

Updated: More photos inside, price has been confirmed to be roughly 7,800 yen.
