Oh boy… Are you ready for this one guys and gals? The Animation version of the character Strength from Black Rock Shooter is now available for reservation. All I can say is WOW. I was impressed with the first version of Black Rock Shooter and now with Strength. (more…)

Angel Beats! Tenshi available for reservation
To accompany Yuri, Good Smile Company has also released an edition of Tenshi, also known as the Angel on Angel Beats! This stunning figure captures Tenshi with her wings (which are removable) unfurled smiling. This and the Yuri figure are two I think I will have to add to my collection. I don’t feel I could order one without the other…
Angel Beats! Tenshi by Good Smile Company
Hobby Search is taking reservations now. About ¥5,800 retail.
Angel Beats! Yuri available for reservation
Good Smile Company has made available a nicely done figurine of Yuri from the Anime Angel Beats! She stands poised for action, holding her trusty semi-automatic sculpted in nice detail.

Yuri can be reserved at Hobby Search, retail is about ¥5,800 retail.
You too can have Morishima Haruka, in your collection
Morishima sempai is waiting for you… Waiting for you to place a reservation so she can come to your house sometime around April. She knows you’ve been watching Amagami SS and has put on a swimsuit just for you.
Morishima Haruka by Max Factory
This new figure by Max Factory features the sometimes flighty Morishima Haruka from the Manga and Anime, Amagami SS. She has been sculpted wearing a school swimsuit smiling back at who ever may be looking at her. Her character was one of my favorites in the series, especially her stunning blue eyes. The figure does not have the same bright blue eyes but they are blue.
This figure is available for reservation now at Hobby Search, retail is about ¥6,800.
Kazari Uiharu and Ryoko Okami figurines by Alter up for reservation
Ryoko Okami (Okamisan and her Seven Companions) due in February 2011; Retail about ¥8,600
Okamisan Ryoko by Alter
Kazari Uiharu (To Aru Kagaku no Railgun) due in March 2011; Retail about ¥8,600
Kazari Uiharu by Alter
Both are available for reservation now at Hobby Search and other retailers.
K-On! News
Some really exciting news is out if you are a K-On fan. First, there are a couple of new collectibles up for reservation now. A cute set of the girls in the costumes they wore to recruit new members. The are by Wave, makers of the swimsuit diva series, and the entire set retails for around ¥6,090.
K-On! Gang in Costume
Another figure recently released for reservation is Alters version of Ritsu completely with drum set. This is an awesome looking figure and as you would suspect, just a touch pricey at around ¥10,290 or so retail. It’s a chunk of change to put toasted a figure but considering how detailed this figure is and what it might cost after reservations are closed.
K-On! Ritsu by Alter
As I was putting this post together, I came across another figure worth mentioning. Ui, Yui’s sister has been rendered in Nendo form and is also up for reservation… She can be found at Hobby Search and retails for around ¥3,500.
K-On! Ui by Good Smile Company
I have added Ritsu and Ui to my list and since both of these figures are due in February, I think I can set some aside for their purchase.
Lastly, a K-On film has been announced at the end of episode 25 as being green lighted. I’m excited and looking forward to the movie. I wonder what they will cover. College life perhaps? Pieces of high school life we were not shown?
At any rate, I thought it awesome to come across these items.
Ayanami Rei – Ballerina Style up for reservation
Evangelion is one of my favorite series and probably one of those that will have numerous variations of the main characters produced in figurines. Take this great looking figurine for example. Produced by Kotobukiya, the details were well thought out. Ayanami Rei appears relaxed in this pose and you might never suspect her as an Eva pilot.
Ayanami Rei - Ballerina style
Ayanami is up for reservation now at Hobby Search and other retailers. Reatail price is about ¥7,140.
I am thinking this is one to get for me but I’m not completely sure. I would like a version to compliment the Asuka Langley version I have ordered.
Love Plus Kobayakawa Rinko up for reservation
From the game series Love Plus comes this charmer, Kobayakawa Rinko, in her stunning Bikini. She is ready to go play at the beach with you. Got your tanning lotion? This figure is part of Waves collection of Beach Queens. She comes with 2 expressions and a movable neck. I have never played the game but if I were to base my opinions on other images I have seen of her, this is pretty nicely done.
Love Plus Kobayakawa Rinko by Wave
Kobayakawa Rinko can be reserved at Hobby Search and other locations. Retail is around ¥3,800.
As much as I like the looks and details on this figure, I’ll have to pass… To many other orders pending (read, I should stop ordering scale figures).
Baka to Test to Shokanju, Kinoshita Hideyoshi Reservations
How to annoy your male friends… Don’t tell them this character is a “trap”. I got a kick out of how the other guys on the show would react to him. Very effeminate Hideyoshi made for fun gender confused scenes. You can now reserve his likeness in a figurine created by Alter.
Baka To Test, Hideyoshi by Alter
Reservations are now being taken at Hobby Search. Retail is around ¥7,140.
Don’t think I will be getting this figure. If you really want to confuse someone, the Shido Mariya figure from Maria Holic can be even more confusing as to gender.
Kotobuki Tsumugi – Alter version – up for reservation
Woo Hoo!!! Alter has finally released a version of Mugi… (I know, sad, aren’t I)…. Any ways, Mugi is now available for reservation. Expected release is in October.
Kotobuki Tsumugi Alter version
Mugi can be reserved to come to your home at Hobby Search now. Retail price is around ¥6,800.
And yes, I’m reserving mine as well…
