[KOTO] 1/8 Takamachi Nanoha -School Uniform- PVC
Figures from the series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha seem to never stop releasing, maybe because most of them are either insanely cute and/or well sculptured. In any event, this time around Kotobukiya has released yet another Nanoha centered figure. It is a 1/8 Scale PVC figure of Nanoha in her School uniform. Struck in a moving pose, this figure is sure to attract even the not-so-hardcore fans.
Nanoha is casted here as if she is just on her way to school; with a slice of bread in her mouth, Yuuno (in Ferret form) sticking out from her bag and a fluttering skirt, this is a must buy in my book. The face carries a surprised but very cute expression. Promo photos show a very decent paint job on the demo model; however, we shall see how she turns out on the mass production line. Kotobukiya has their hit and misses, hopefully this one will turn out to be a hit.
Scaled at 1/8 for a retail price at 5,800 yen, this figure is actually on the expensive side. There isn't much complexity to the figure and it doesn't come with an elaborate base. With the current exchange rate, this is an expensive buy. Several online retailers should have it for a little bit cheaper, so check your favorite web retailer. Even though this figure is slated to be released in January of 2012, pre-orders have already started.

[Alter] 1/7 Fate Testarossa Movie Version
Seen previously as an unpainted prototype, Alter will finally be releasing the theatrical figure version of Fate Testarossa. The figure appears to come with 2 separate weapons and a possibility of interchangeable arms for different poses. Alter is no stranger to figures from the Nanoha series having released a ton of them. The figure is skillfully sculpted from the attention to the physical details of the cape and hair, to the baby fat in Fate's arm. Unfortunately as a consistent complaint I have had with Alter figures are the plain bases. Hopefully the finalized product will break the mold. Fate will be released in late November with an estimated wallet sinking retail price of 12,390 yen. Pictures included inside.
[GSC] Nendoroid Petit Nanoha the Movie 1st Box
Better late than never, GSC has released pre-orders for the the popular Nendoroid-Petit Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha set. Nendoroid-Petits based off of Nanoha the Movie, are sure to be an instant hit for any Nendoroid or Nanoha fan.
[Alter] 1/7 Vivio Takamachi
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.
[Alter] 1/7 PVC Nanoha (movie)
Seen previously at Wonder Festival Summer 2009, Alter will be releasing a new 1/7 scale Takamachi Nanoha figure based on the upcoming Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha movie. It appears she will come with interchangeable arms and 2 forms of her weapons. Fans may remember Alter had previously made a mediocre figure of Nanoha back in 2006, this time around we can safely say they have made significant improvements. Lets not forget Alter has also made a grown up version of Nanoha set to be released in October. Will Alter remake Fate Testarossa? Based on current trends, most likely yes.

A special figure of Vivio Takamachi will be offered as a gift to customers who preorder all three figures at the same time, and will ship in July with the release of Fate.
