GoodSmile Co.’s 1/8 Akiha Shishidou PVC figure from “Sora Kake Girl”!

Preorders have opened for GSC‘s dynamic 1/8 scale PVC figure of Akiha Shishidou from the new sci-fi anime, Sora Kake Girl/Sora o Kakeru Shoujo (The Girl who Leapt Through Space). Coming from the director of My-Hime and My-Otome, SoraKake‘s definitely one of the most enjoyable shows this season with generous amounts of action, mecha, comedy and fanservice.

There’s a lot of appealing designs in SoraKake, and seeing that GSC’s one of the main sponsors I bet we’ll be seeing more figures of the show’s characters from them. I hope they’ll make one of Akiha in her plugsuit soon!

GSC’s Akiha Shishidou PVC will come out on July 2009 for 6,800 Yen.

KTKR! GSC’s Nanoha Takamachi (Combat Instructor Ver.)!

Mika-tan of GSC unveiled in her blog today what seems to be a product sample of an upcoming PVC figure of Nanoha Takamachi from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS! She’s wearing her combat instructor outfit and comes with Raising Heart and a nifty magic circle base. Though this look isn’t what I had in mind for their first MILF Nanoha figure, it’s good to know that GSC’s finally tackling characters from StrikerS. Now, can we have sum Subaru, Teana, the Numbers and hawt Fate? Please? °A°

Figure News Roundup – 02/04/08

Wow, it’s February already! Another batch of figure pre-orders should be coming in any day, I hope you guys are ready. XD Anyway here are some figure news that got piled up during the last few days…

Alter’s June Lineup and Goodsmile’s Chu Chu Astram

Alter unveiled their figure lineup for June with Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3 and Siesta from Zero no Tsukaima. Mitsuru-sempai clocks in at 1/8 scale and comes with a saber and the controversial ‘evoker‘. IMHO it looks much better than Kotobukiya’s version, and it’s great that she has an alternate arm to replicate the trademark persona-summoning pose from the game. She retails for 6.090 Yen.

As a shining proof that wishful thinking works, Alter stepped up and made what I believe is the first figure of the lovely maid Siesta, and they did a wonderful job at it! She also comes in at 1/8 scale and will retail for 5,775 Yen. I can’t wait to get my hands on her!

Goodsmile on the other hand, has revealed their 1/8 Chu Chu Astram figure from the upcoming eroge Chu x Chu Idol! Aside from the fantastic sculpt, she comes with cast-off gimmicks, including a… weird demon-thingie. *_* She’s to be released this May for 6,800 Yen.

On a sidenote, my PC’s power supply blew up, so I won’t be able to post that much for a while. Until next time! *_*’
