This afternoon, Alter and Kotobukiya announced some lovely, cute and sexy figures ready for preorder.
Hit the jump for more.
Shamal & Zafila Puppy Ver. (as already seen from above) will likely be the last StrikerS figure released from the Nanoha series. If you have been collecting the whole Wolkenritter set or is collecting the whole StrikerS set in general, then she is a must have on your list.
One of the things I like about this figure is, Zafila comes along with her. If Alter move was to release him separately as a 1/8 scale, I doubt he will sell well and Alter will be better off making other figures than him alone so I reckon it was a good move. Besides, his role as a side character was very minor compared to the rest of the group in the series.
As for me, I won’t be getting her. She not my favourite character and given her RRP is 9,800yen, I rather put that money into 1/7 scale Nanoha -Stand by Ready- version instead. ^^
People who need her to complete your StrikerS collection or likes her as your favourite character, she’s ready for preordered at Hobby Search. Other online stores like HLJ, Play-asia and cdjapan should have her up soon.
Last bit of release by Kotobukiya is 2 sexy mizugi figures from the Azumanga Daioh series. They are Ayumu “Osaka” Kasuga and Sakaki-san. I’m surprised Kotobukiya took this move and made 2 PVC’s from one of my favourite shows of all time as part of their Legend Girls series but one character I really wanted them to make was Chiyo-chan. I would kill for a Chiyo-chan figure and considering she was the main character from the series, I don’t know why she didn’t make it into PVC form. Was Sakaki-san even that popular to begin with? I knew Osaka was popular but Sakaki-san? O_o
I hope one day she will make it into PVC form but for now, I have my eyes set on Osaka and considering she’s a 1/7 scale for only RRP 5,040yen, that’s a WIN price for me. ^^
Both Osaka and Sakaki-san are already up for preorder at Hobby Search. They will be available soon at you favourite online retailers like HLJ, Play-asia and cdjapan.
So does any of these 3 tickle your fancy? xD

The Azumanga figures caught me a bit by surprise and are kind of tempting but I think I’ll pass. Should be saving money instead >_<
And Sakaki has quite a dedicated following among the fans. You should read the Azu forums on iichan ^^;

The only thing I like there is the puppy Zafira. Sorry Shamal but I can’t buy you just for the puppy ^^;
On the other hand, it appears that the Azumanga girls are under this Legend Girls thing. What is this “Legend Girls” thing that Kotobukiya is going on recently (even a trap is in that “line” too)?

Sakaki FTW! Actually, Sakaki and Osaka are my favourite characters from Azumanga.
I will consider getting Osaka, but I will certainly not be getting Sakaki. Her face is kind of strange and ugly.

I wouldn’t mind getting Sakaki’s figure if I ever chance upon it in a store. But it’s not one that makes me go out and find.

Oh, so that explains why she’s so popular. Well, I’m still hoping Koto will add Chiyo-chan as part of thier Legend Girls collection.
@Otaku Dan
Not yummy enough for me to get. :(
@Snark
GaoGaiGar-tan! DOES NOT EXIST!!!! >D
@phossil
Dear god, FINISH NOW PLZ. Ur missing out. :(
@Q
It’s part of series where they are materializing popular girls from the past popular series. I reckon it’s a very neat idea beause many great characters deserved to be in PVC form so collectors can have a chance to own some of the great characters ever made.
How Jun, got into that lineup is a question I don’t know how to answer. lol
@meronpan
I knew u were getting her to complete the set. Ur StrikerS collection will not be complete if u missed her out. Looking forward to ur EPIC showoff. xD
@Matteas
Ur getting Osaka as well? WOOT!!!!! xD
Speaking about it, her face does look very off. :S
@Yi
Then in this case, she’s on ur ‘maybe’ list. I hope u do find her in the store. :D
@zenical
I did get Signum so give me ur poison factor. lol
Just so u know, if i did get her, I will be hunting Hayate like mad to complete the set. lol
