Henry beat me to it haha, was about to name her too. Venice is her real name but she is called Benisu in the anime/eroge. Surprisingly larger number of figures for her than Shinra.

Also nice figures from Good Smile but most of them are not on my list of wanted. Re Mii from Zoids Genesis was a surprise, while Eika was just disappointing compared to Otoha.

Btw, Good Smile Company's pre-order session for Figma Konata and Nendoroid konata & Kagami (Fate/Stay Night Ver.) has started, on their Online shop website.

The problem is that, do they provide international shipments? I ran through their online orders procedure, and looks like they only have local shipments. I can't read Japanese though >.<

So maybe anyone can help/verify on this? >.<

Thanks in advance ^^

The figma Saber is so nice that will probably be the one I most want this year.

I tried to pre-order it on Hobby Search, but the reservation is already closed. So I have to pre-order it on a US based store and pray that I will get it.

Benisu is probably my fave character in Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de, but the pose is a little bland. And it's PVC.

I'm still on the fence on Hatsune Miku as I'm not a massive fan of vocaloid and better kits may come later if the company actually gives out day licenses for garage kit makers...

I see that the Schrödinger theory (the one with Yuki and Shamisen in a box) has been illustrated as well. ^^
I'd buy Figma Saber in a heartbeat! And Haruhi in RPG costume with a gyudon bowl (Hmmm, love gyudon!) is so cool!!

Please tell me she'll be available for normal order and not Japanese exclusive..

Crap and I just got the Revoltech Rin.

I think I'll go with Revoltech Rin + Figma Saber though.

Armored Saber doesn't have much issue with the ugly joints, but an ugly jointed Rin is pretty much bleah.
