Senjo no Valkyria
Senjo no Valkyria came out recently for the PS3 and some batches came with an "exclusive" figure. Hmmmm - its got "do not want" written all over it.
Looks like the game also came with a tank - pics at EarlBox.
I may get the game but not for the figure.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

The tank looks pretty cool. Once you click on that second link and watch the video of the tank that comes with the game, it reminds me of a wind-up car - from the noise that it makes.
The graphics on this game looks incredible.

Brrr... She looks like she is rather sad(er).
ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
LOL at using Sader as a bad figure benchmark . ^^

Sader is the absolute zero of figure quality. The day when something goes lower than that means that the social and financial sense of our race is well and truly screwed.

Never said she was sadder than Sader... But hey!

Soon as I find out if the game has an english option for the japanese version, it's instant buy.
Danny, when you get your game, you should try changing your system language to english and see if there are anything like english text.
Let us know! I really don't want to wait until August for this to hit the US.

From the looks of the game, probably not at all. I mean, not every 3th-person shooter goes "kaboom" with sfx for emphasis.

Sorry...
Didn't you mean she has a connection with Elmer Fudd? If not, I'd hide in a corner and be quiet.

That figure looks so sad, I'm sure people who got the limited edition are sad too...

Interesting game, but the figure is absolutely terrible.

The game comes close to convincing me to buy a PS3... which is a whole damn lot, since Little Big Planet also had the same effect.
That figure though... why do they even go through the trouble of making something that hideous? C'mon! The game has incredible graphics... throw a t-shirt in, or even some stickers... but no Sader-like figures, please!

Awful figure - what have they done to Alicia! Have to wait for the expensive proper ones - I hope to see her pose holding Hans the flying pig.
Get the game, it is fantastic - I enthused about at length on my site so I'll refrain from detail here.
Bandaid, the only English present is a little text on the menus - if you see some of my screens it is quite densely Japanese. Also the game is quite tactically complex so comprehension is essential, to say nothing of how good the story is.
English speakers can only hope they follow Atlus in including the Japanese dub, as it really has an all star cast.

Jer clenched hand is about the same size as her head.

Rather underwhelming-looking figurine, especially with its small head, long body, and hair that looks like clumps of mud lumped together. DO NOT WANT.
Still doesn't reach the same 'awesome' level of Sader or MOK-KOS though.

Looks like the production budget didn't stretch to commissioning a decent figure maker. Interesting looking game though, probably yet another fine Japanese PS game that wil never get to the UK...

the game will sell better if it doesn't include the figure.

the fig does no justice to the game...
she looked great in the game...
the tank on the other hand looks just good...

That's true. The figure really doesn't do the game any justice. Sigh...what is SEGA thinking? The game has so much marketing potential and this is what they come out with? Come on...

i'll throw the figure and game in the garbage and keep that rifle...lol

Great-looking game, awful figure. Hey, at least the paintjob is superior compared to Sader. Well, that's the only nice thing I can say about it.

I love Valkyria Chronicles, its a great game and looks wonderful. The watercolor look of the game is incredible and is one of my favorite games in my PS3 library. This game is the only game that puts a smile on my face when I watch the cutscenes and play though the levels. Switching though the Japanese and English dubs in the American version is an added plus.

Game and Anime are doubtlessly great....but the figure.......orz
