Yoko, Fate, Nanoha, Shamal, Saber, and Sheryl are just a few of the new figures displayed by Alter at the Mega Hobby Winter Expo 2009. This is part one of our compilation coverage. As usual, we do not own any of the images, and they belong to their respective reporters/websites.
Stay tuned for the rest, for now click read more!

A surprise for the fans, this is the fourth Asahina Mikuru figure from the Melancholy of Haurhi Suzumiya made by Max Factory. The figure will come with 2 different faces with different expressions an interchangeable arm for her to expose the mole on the inside of her cleavage as seen in anime.
I don't believe she will be castoffable; however, if you look closely at the pictures you will notice something that appears to be a seamline on the inside of her shirt collar. My best bet would be that her shirt is probably made from stretchy material similar to the one found on Max Factory's Wendy figure from Gun X Sword.
We reported previously about a Saber Lily figure from the new Playstation 2 game Fate/Unlimited Code, debuting at Comiket 75, and a splurge of prepainted pictures are up on Goodsmile's blog. Beautifully sculpted, it looks like she will come with 2 swords.
More pictures inside.
Update: Goodsmile's page for her is up. She will retail for a wallet breaking 9,800 Yen and be released in June 2009. Price is probably reflective on her size, popularity, and probably additonal royalty fees made to the game maker, Capcom.
First unveiled at Comiket 75 as a no photography figure, a painted picture of Moka's unleashed form from the series Rosario + Vampire surfaced online.
She will be released in June 2009 by Goodsmile Company. Larger image inside.
I'm pretty sure I saw this figure way back before Persona 4 was released in the United States, but while browsing amiami, I came across something interesting on the front page. Oddly enough the figure maker is listed as Atlus the game company itself. After a quick look, Alter does have this figure listed on their website listed under collaboration works.
The actual figure itself looks beautifully sculpted and definitely reminds of Alter's craftsmanship style. Probably my only complaint is the sculpt detail on the ends and the front of the hair. The right arm in proportion with the legs look a little off, but that could just be the camera angle. The figure comes with a removable fan and a pair of glasses.
The figure has been apparently released last month for 6,500 yen on Altus' webstore and probably will be available for purchase from figure retailers as various American stores already have preorders up.
More pictures of this figure inside.
