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! *_*’
