Shown previously as a prototype earlier this year at several hobby events, Kongiku from the cult hit Wii game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade is up and ready for preorder.
Like Alter's earlier release of Momohime, Alter did an excellent rendition matching the pose relatively exact. The sculpt looks fantastic and I really like simplistic base with the stones and flora. She will be released later next year in late February 2013.
Although this 'top heavy' kitsune will probably never make it to my shelf, I would be very interested if Alter decides to make a figure of the 'bottom heavy' Yuzuruha also from Muramasa. Anyone else want to see a Yuzuruha figure?
Gallery of the figure inside.
Medicom Toy will be releasing an updated version of their Kyubey plushie from the popular anime series, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
From the product photos, this new Kyubey appears to have a few new improvements including a sleeker overall body shape, fluffier tail and ears. Fans who have not already made a 'contract' and purchased this fellow can do so in late December for 3800 yen.
Full product picture inside along with the first version for comparison.
We have seen previously figure maker Yamato picking up highly popular garage kits and turning them into mass produced PVC figures like with sculptor Bubba's Velvet from Odin Sphere. Yamato is back again, and they will be releasing Cerberus Project's Elin from the MMORPG TERA as part of their SIF EX line.
Absolutely love how they were able to recreate the pearlescent shine of the dress. Sculpt on the hair also looks relatively clean and sharp and overall is very faithful to the original garage kit.
As usual, the actual production model may look different and we'll have to wait and see!
More pictures inside.
Probably my top pick from the Summer Wonder Festival 2012, Good Smile Company will be celebrating their 25th anniversary by releasing a fully painted 1/10 scale version of their iconic Belldandy figure from Ah! My Goddess!
Although we can't really tell, the model they have on display probably (again we are not sure) isn't going to be the final product and appears to be the original kit, might even be the famed original that has been seen at the Good Smile Office display cabinet. As a note, the original kit was released in 1997 while figure maker Volks released a painted version later in 1999 that was less detailed.
Definitely I am going to preorder this, any other takers? We'll update as soon as we get more information, but since it's scaled at 1/10 and is a PVC, I wouldn't expect it to be too expensive hopefully.
More pictures inside.
I am a sucker for cute things. Even worse off I am also a sucker for Accel World goodies, so as soon as Good Smile Company released their version of Nendoroid Kuroyukihime. I was INSTANTLY sold.
Just look at dress! How elaborate and detailed it is! It has everything from the butterflies climbing up the dress, to the the folds on the fabric. Even the umbrella is embellished a little.
More info and photos inside.
