More Poison from GSC and Max Factory

20 Dec
2009

Yesterday night at around 10:30pm AEST, I decided to pull my site down because I had a little theme issue when I upgraded to WP 2.9. At around 11am AEST today, I decided to put it back up when I noticed the issue has disappeared on it’s own. Basically the entire post section on the front page went missing and while the posts still exist, it’s just not there.
Right now, everything looks just the way it was even before the upgrade and I do apologies for the inconvenience I may have caused. Bringing the site down was the best choice rather than seeing a ‘whacked’ out site. I will keep this in mind for future upgrades. -_-

Moving along to the point of this post, here are just a few additions GSC and Max Factory released this week.

Keeping this short as it’s likely old news to many, GSC released (what could be) the final nendoroid from the K-ON! series, nendoroid Kotobuki Tsumugi. Retailing at 3,334 yen and scheduled to be released in April, I already placed my order the moment it was up at HLJ.

So what poisoned me considering I’m not a Tsumugi-chan fanboy? It was the happy face and the keyboard the made me say YES!!!! XD
Hmmm… maybe the cake was part of the factor as well but I can’t remember all the specifics. :P


Who collecting the whole set? xD

Preorders are closed at many online retailers but you can still make a preorder while you can at:

In addition to her release, Max Factory announced 2 more figmas in their lineup, figma Subaru Nakajima: Barrier Jacket ver. and figma Lum. I’m not sure what’s the idea behind Lum but she’s from the original manga “Urusei Yatsura”. I’m sure she will be a big hit in Japan but since I don’t know her and she looks ugly to me, it’s a pass.

As for Subaru, it’s a YES. Based on the promo pic. she is a figma every fanboy and fangirls wants. Each pose looks awesome and she looks so much better than the actsta one. When it comes to pose ability, it will be unfair of me to make a comment since I have neither especially actsta Subaru Nakajima. While I don’t mind grabbing her in giving myself a first-hand experience of the new GSC action figure lineup, forking out 9,334 yen is a “no go zone” for me. @_@
I have fingers cross Hobby Search has an overstock and it will land in the bargain bin soon. ;)

figma Subaru Nakajima: Barrier Jacket ver. is still available for preorder at:

Also figma Lum is still available for preorder at:

So which one you already placed an order? :D

    ActSta will probably be of better quality in the end, but the price really doesn’t justify it (also it’s easier hide the knee joints seeing as Subaru is wearing knee pads). I’d love to get the ActSta figure, but I’m not willing to fork out ~120 bucks.

    I’ll skip Mugi, but may be Azunyan will be my target :)

    Am very tempted to get the ActSta Subaru since she looks terrific and the next in line is Teana whom I adore, but I too choke over the rather exorbitantly high price tag of the ActSta.
    Three times or more than a Figma, that’s just a bit too much…

    There should be an Azusa Nakano nendoroid too, GSC/Max Factory previously showed the unpainted prototype.

    Kind of like Mugi-chan more than the others, she looks cuter than the other girls with her slightly bigger and bright blue eyes.

    I can’t wait to get all my K-ON! nendos. Then I can set up the entire band just like in that photo.

    @GNdynames
    Quite honestly, it’s more than the RRP of an average 1/8 scale figure and I don’t get why that’s the case at all. Prices at this high, I doubt many got sold and it’s not the best way to start selling a new action figure.
    I just recalled that’s the same price as GSC Saber Lily so if u ask me, I choose Saber Lily over it anyday. lol

    @pus2meong
    Welcome pus2meong. Hope ur liking it here.
    I’m gonna trying resisting her since she’s not my favourite.

    @Smithy
    Looks like a I missed the unpainted prototype but thanks for the heads up.
    I’m not sure if GSC is trying to rip us off or it’s part of their marketing campaign in their new action figure lineup. :S

    @Reltair
    Be sure to take picture of the gang. I wanna see them all rockin’. xD

    @Yeili
    Welcome Yeili. Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it. ^^

    @Leonia
    It’s not a maybe, it’s a MUST. xD
    Too cute to resist. ;)

    Last time my site had some problem too. The layout is screwed, almost thought of giving it up but it just recovered to normal on the next day, somehow. = =”’
    Mugi-chan is confirm a must-get. The gang will be waiting to Azunyan to join anytime. As for Sabaru, i am still not quite sure. As much i want to get her, i need to save money for my 4 months China study trip. T^T Anyway, aside from Lum, MF will also release Kagome from Inuyasa. Quite surprise that they release figma from those old yet classic series. Seriously hope MF can release those from Shonen Jump. =P

    I’d better get those whole set of K-On girls. I’ve preordered 3 of them except Tsumugi. So yeah, since i’ve already decided not to get anymore figma, then all the budget can goes to K-On nendoroids.

    @Chappy
    The next morning, I was in the process in looking for a new theme and just general answers into why it’s happening until everything looked normal again. What a waste of time. :(
    Since they are releasing Inuyasa figmas, I’m getting a hint they will be releasing Bleach figmas. Oh man, Bleach figmas will be an instant favourite to many ppl and I have a feeling u will want one. xD

    @sonic_ver2
    Looks like Azunyan nendo appeared in C77 today. I guess she will be going in as well huh?
    If ur not getting Tsumugi, wouldn’t u feeling the gang is incomplete without her? :(
