Figure maker Alpha Omega will be releasing a 1/8 scale Klan Klan figure from the series Macross Frontier. She will retail for 5,775 yen.
More pictures over at Moeyo .
Kaiyodo is busy keeping little Yotsuba company with the youngest Ayase family sibling, Ena (from the manga Yotsuba&!, of course), making her PVC debut. Ena is a cast-off figure, allowing you to trade her regular clothes and teddy bear (Jularlmin, as Yotsuba would call it) for a bikini and towel. Standing 135mm tall (that's approx. 5 inches, for the lazy), this figure will see release on September 01, 2008 with the price point of 2,940 yen. Check out more pics over at Ami Ami, where you can also see pics of Kaiyodo's new Ayase Fuka Swimsuit version . 
Medicom brought out the big guns at their Toy Exhibition this weekend in Japan, and judging by their list of projects, they're dipping their brush in a wide palette of colors, bringing to the canvas a varied range of figure licenses such as Star Wars, Dragon Ball Z, Metal Gear Solid 4, The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones, and much much more. While known for their 1/6 scale premium action figures, Medicom also produces smaller action figures as well as Lego-esque Kubricks and Bearbricks.
Akibahobby today posted preview shots of figure maker Wave's 1/8 scale space Yoko. The paint job and sculpt looks really clean, a definite plus, but I am not a real fan of the figure's proportions. Wave will also be releasing a limited edition version with Yoko's cape being clear. Both versions will retail for 6,600 yen and be released in late October 2008.
As you can guess, hobby news are back!
Yes I know, we haven't done any figure news in ages, but I couldn't let this slip by. Eye Up, formerly a figure producer and contractor, announced they would be starting their own figure line. Their first figures shown were a 1/8 scale Kamina with detachable glasses and cape, and a 1/8 scale Yoko with what a appears to be bullet accesories and a detachable Boota from her bosom. Eye Up has recently posted pictures of a their next products, including Simon riding the Lagann! They will also be making various keychain items you can hang off your phone such as one of Boota , and of Darry's stuffed animal. Their last figure annouced appears to be Darry wearing her pilot suit. You can bet that we will be reviewing the full set of figures. Kamina will be released in August 2008 for 8,190 yen, while Yoko will be released a month later in September for the same price.
