Snapped these figures at this weeks hobby traders show (photos posted yesterday) but didn't pay attention to their names - was too busy looking at their eyes ^^;
The orange haired girl is Haruka Minazuki and the blue haired girl is Aoi Kannazuki - both from the Pachislot/OVA Twin Angels.

The retail price for each is 6,800 yen and both will be out in November by Max Factory.
More pics of Aoi here and Haruka here.
Trailer for OVA here.

    I just noticed their bases combine together to form wings. Could be an interesting trend for figure manufacturers : make figures whose poses and bases form are compatible so as to encourage people to buy sets.

      Some manufacturers already did some of these (i remember even the background can be combined, but i think it is from a limited figs)..
      The base of GSC's Maid series from the F/SN are somehow can be combined :3

    Well, sets would be good or bad, deping on whose point of view you are looking from. Anyways, those look awesome. However, I've always only collected figures of characters I like, so no for me. Though they are absolutely awesome. :)

    Never liked figures but these two are cute. But even they can't make me buy figurines.

    Isn't the first volume of the OVA intended to be released today? If so, excellent timing.

    Prospects look good for me getting both Haruka and Aoi. I'll reserve judgment until I see the OVA.

    I didn't pay much attention to these at first. I think it was on Mikatan's blog that I seen more photos and I think they are kind of nice. I have never bought set figures before... Well, unless the He is My Master figures count as a set.

    The maid outfits are so cute! I love the wing stands but I don't like how one of the girls has a white block to support her weight; looks weird. :

    Hearing again the twin angels reminded me of the old ecchi ova's in the early 90's. Non the less cute figures. The blue haired girl though reminds me of Ryomou from Ikkitousen.

    Saw these two at TAF in March. I really liked their pose and their combination together. (and took some pictures of them back then too)

    I really like the wings base and I adore Max Factory. But since I don't really know these characters I'll pass. BUT if those maids' dresses were longer then I might be more inclined to get them. I know I already said this in a previous post but I really like maid outfits with longer skirts.
