UPDATE: Just uploaded some pics I took of her to Danny's Corner.

Just released the info over at Good Smile for two figures - this gorgeous Unity Mei and Juliona Trans - more pics over at Good Smile.

Mei is out in Feb and retails for 8,200 yen by Good Smile and Juliona will retail for 7,800 yen by Artstorm - also avail in Feb.

That Mei is soooooo nice. Will upload a few more pics of her this week. Any of these two on your get list?

    Wow... this looks sooo good with the paint on compare to the previous prototype that you showed us. Can't wait for it to be release!

    nice aerial pose, but it does make one worry about leaning. like the pink sakura lined cloth wings as well.

    might lean though. maybe not as bad as the worst ones, but a potential.

    but beautiful colour combination.

    Wow. The flower print and choice of colours really makes it stand out, and comparing it with the prototype you showed us before is like night and day. Something about the pose bugs me though.

    The detail and weathered paintwork on Juliona is amazing.

    Gorgeous figure, however Juliona is also gorgeous. Kind of wish her wasit was slightly thicker though.

    Assuming those legs are ABS and properly guarded against leaning, that looks like a great figure.

    Wow, that's really nice, maybe I should get this. Oh, wait, I'm poor....sigh.
    BTW will she come with that nice-looking base too? Because I found out that the final version of Alter's Haruka had a totally different one from the pre-release pics, don't know if Goodsmile does that too.
