Another Lovely Misty

Remember the recently announced Misty (Mistral Nereis) from Alter. If that one isn't up to your taste and budget, here's another one from Kotobukiya. She's also a 1/8 scale figure but with a lower price tag of 9,200 yen. She has and interesting  pose standing on one feet while winking at yah. The design looks totally attractive but I'm afraid of that hair strands that's floating in mid-air. It might droop down after some time. The base isn't as interesting as Alter's but it isn't boring with those stars which is actually pretty.

She is a July 2013 release... wait what?!! That's the release month of POP Armored Franky, and probably POP Shanks too! That means I won't be able to get her again as my priority would be POPs. Oh, well. So much for this. I'll just drool on these photos and wait for my chance to get her whenever my wallet allows me. I may just be interested with her because she's a pirate and I really love sexy female pirate :) 

If you're also interested, she's now up for preorder at Amiami, Hobby Search and HLJ. As for me I'll still try to resist her.

Alter's 1/8 Misty is Very Alluring

I always find myself attracted to the ladies of the Shining series. Tony Taka's artwork has really made them alluring. And this 1/8 Misty from Alter is no exception. Nice sculpt, face, pose, colors.. everything looks amazingly nice and detailed. And to top it all are the blue effect parts. I love to have her.

But then again, my problem is that she is a May release. What's wrong with that you ask? Well, POP Sailing Again - Trafalgar Law, that's the problem. I wish I can hold back for POPs and Figuarts ZEROs, and purchase something else. Heck, I wish I am super rich that I can get any figure that I wanted. *sigh*

To be released on.... May 2013. Preorders are already up at Amiami, HLJ, Hobby Search and Otacute at their respective discounted prices. How I wish that somebody would give her to me as a gift.

Altina Mel Sylphis Is So "Kawaii"

As some of you may have noticed, aside from being a huge One Piece fan, I'm also a sucker for cute female figures. I also happened to be a fan of Tony Taka's illustrations. And for me, this Kotobukiya's 1/8 scaled figure of Altina Mel Sylphis from Shing Blade is so "kawaii". Though I don't have much knowledge about this character, she still catches my attention because of her cute lovely face and and costume design. The simple blue/white color motif fits her perfectly and her smiling face and blown away hair is really cool to look at. This figure is really as sight for sore eyes.

She is slated to be released April 2013 at a retail price of 6,800 yen. Not so expensive for a really adorable figure. Preorders are now available at Amiami, HLJ and Hobby Search. Hope I still have enough budget for her.

Crimson Mode Sakuya is Fiery Impressive

Kotobukiya's 1/6 Crimson Mode Sakuya, which is now fully colored with impressive details, is now available for preorder. We've seen this first during the Wonder Festival 2012 Summer but only in its non colored prototype stage. This time, the prototype was completed.

Based on Tony Taka's illustration, this fully finished prototype captures the art perfectly in 3D form. I love the huge sword, fiery base and the color scheme of this huge, I repeat, huge figure. Yes, she is 1/6th scaled, that makes her stand about 13 inches. It is going to be a towering addition to anybody's collection. Hopefully, my bank account will be ready for her for she has a price tag of 12,000 yen. Quite expensive but I guess its totally acceptable considering her size and amazing details.

To be released on February 2013, preorders are now available at Amiami, HLJ and Hobby Search at their discounted prices.
