The Celestial Gates Won't Be Opened Yet

Yes, we've already guessed it. This is a normal announcement for Good Smile Company anyway. The much awaited first Fairy Tail figure from GSC - Lucy Heartfilia's release date has been pushed from August 2013 to September 2013. But that's not final, GSC is known to have been announcing delays of certain figures repeatedly in the past, that means the September release date may be pushed further this year on their later announcements.

Well, I'm not surprised anyway, that's the reputation that GSC has made recently, so all we have to do is wait 'till Lucy has made it to store shelves and eventually on our display shelves. As I always say, I'd rather wait for a well made figure than to get a crappy rushed figure at their promised release date.

The Long Wait for the Celestial Spirit Mage is Over

Good Smile Company's 1/7th scale Lucy Heartfilia of Fairy Tail has been officially launched on their website. Official promo images were made available and she will be up for preorder today, 26th of March 2013. Scheduled to be released on August 2013, but we know that's only a tentative release date since GSC has a history of delayed releases. Anyway, I'm glad that the price isn't so expensive as I have expected. She will be retailed for 8,800 yen, about the same price range of other GSC's 1/8th scale figures.

On GSC's official website, it's description states: 

"Open!! The Door of the Water Bearer!!! Aquarius!!!"
From the popular manga and anime series 'FAIRY TAIL' comes a 1/7th scale figure of the beautiful celestial mage, Lucy Heartfilia! The figure is based on the cover illustration of the 9th volume of the manga, which features Lucy in a lively pose holding out a key in her hand with her skirt fluttering about. 

Certain parts are also removable for a slightly different pose, but no matter how you choose to display her you'll always be able to enjoy her energetic personality!

"Certain parts are also removable for a slightly different pose" naturally means that her clothing can be cast-off, meaning that we can reveal her inner garments. Not a surprise actually, since we already seen some images showing those slits on her shirt and skirt. But perverts alike will be glad so know that it is confirmed :)

My stomach's filled with butterfly as soon as I saw these official images. It's the first time that we've seen a close-up shot of her Fairy Tail insignia on her right hand. She is looking absolutely gorgeous. I can't say much  anymore 'cause I'm loving everything that I'm seeing here. If this figure will become a hit, we shall be expecting more female Fairy Tail characters from GSC. I'm crossing fingers for male Fairy Tail characters, but not holding my breath.

GSC Lucy Heartfilia's Updated Colors

We got some new shots of Good Smile Company's Lucy Heartfilia. This was a part of the exhibition at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2013. It's interesting that they have changed Lucy's boots color. Remember when we first saw her colored prototype back in Wonder Festival 2013 Winter? The color of her boots are black. But now they have changed it to shiny brown.

I never actually noticed the color of her boots in the anime, but after googling her image, I saw some pictures of it black but sometimes it's brown. Maybe I will see the Anime again later to check on it's color. Well, for me it doesn't really matter actually, as long as they keep the overall look close to the manga and/or anime.

No pricing or release date revelation up until now. But I believe it would be announced be very soon. So Fairy Tail fans, keep checking this blogsite and our Facebook Page for future updates on this lovely figure. Getting her will at least immortalize Lucy in our shelves since the Anime broadcast will be going on hiatus.

Update (2013-03-25): Finally! She’ll be up for preorder starting tomorrow, 26th of March 2013

At Last, GSC's Lucy Heartfilia in Full Color

At last, I've been waiting ages for this. The first Fairy Tail character to be produced by Good Smile Company is now revealed in fully colored prototype during the recently held Wonder Festival 2013 Winter. And all I can say is.... it's incredibly awesome!

The eyes are so alive. Cool colors with yellow hair, white dress with blue trims and the skin tone is perfect. It's really is a sight for sore eyes. We have seen this great sculpt earlier during the Wonder Festival 2012 Summer and now we are looking at a completed and totally high class figure that can only be produced by none other than Good Smile Company. I really am excited to get my hands on it but no price and release date announced yet. I hope preorders will start soon.

It's really great that GSC picked up the Fairy Tail license and I hope they will continue with more character figure from the series. I'm thinking Juvia, Mirajane, Cana or Erza with all those elegant equipment/outfits. Please GSC, please!

Announcement: GSC's Fairy Tail - Lucy Heartfilia

Great news for Fairy Tail fans like me. Good Smile Company, the company behind the awesome and popular Saber Lily figures seems to be starting to make products based of Fairy Tail characters. Last Sunday's Wonder Festival 2012 Summer, GSC just displayed Lucy Heartfilia in its prototype stage.
