Code Geass Kallen

Sat, 17 May 2008 10:00:00 +0900

Probably the nicest figure of Kellen available - full review at TJ Hans. Geass is one of the shows that I manage to keep up with every week - just love it.

Glowing Figure

Tue, 13 May 2008 15:13:00 +0900

This 1/4 scale figure is costs 30,450 yen and is from Daiki Kougyo so its kinda meh but is interesting to see that it lights up. Maybe we will see more figures that light up or perhaps move? Figures with big eyes jumping up n down for example. More pics at Akiba Hobby.

Lucky Star Figma

Sat, 10 May 2008 04:49:00 +0900

Hijacked from member kenjiharima. The Lucky Star girls get the figma treatment. Tsukasa looks the cutest to me. Which of these Lucky Star girls is your fave? Original text by kenjiharima below. Figma has dropped the bomb. Seeing the Haruhi gang complete it seems the Lucky Star girls are next for line up! Figure/GK

Bukkake Miku

Thu, 01 May 2008 08:07:00 +0900

Uh oh... Looks like somebody spilt some condensed milk on Nendo Miku... But the question has to be asked. Those who regularly stay in good health probably use the aids of printed material, videos or images on the internet. Anybody use figures to stay in shape? Image via Tyodai Blog.

Yamato Ringo

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:22:00 +0900

Akiba Hobby has more pics of this truly gorgeous figure of Ringo. Pics are of the original sculpt. What Yamato are going to do now is to make a copy of it and make pre-production casts. I really hope they dont mess it up like they did with previous figures. Folks who have just joined us can look at the figure production process in my previous visits to Good Smile and Max Factory.
