Here she is! We were first teased about her existence with photos from Winter Fest. Now reservations are being taken. Are you getting one? I wanted the first myself but waited to long. I plan to click the magical reserve button on this one as soon as I finish this post. So without further ado, here she is…

If you are a fan of Toradora, then you may well like these items that are up for reservation. First up, by Wave, a 1/10 of Taiga, ready to hit the beach with all her tsundra attitude.

Aisaka Taiga, Beach Queens

Aisaka Taiga, Beach Queens Version

Available for reservation now at Hobby Search, retail price of ¥3,800.

Next up is a nice version of Taiga where she is sporting a Chinese Dress, posing as she sits. Presumably waiting for Ryuji to show up for their date. Nicely done by Dengeki, would like to add it to my collection. This item is exclusive to Otacute so make sure you don’t miss out.

Aisaka Taiga Dengeki Limited Edition

This version sells for $104 at Otacute.

I really need more shelf space soon. Both appear to be keepers.

March is one of those months I dreaded because I just knew I was gonna be hit with multiple deliveries. Well.. it did not disappoint and I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed in the either (aside from the melted credit card). This month saw the arrival of Saber Lily by Alter, Tainaka Ritsu by Good Smile, Blu-Ray version of 1.11, Blu-Ray version of : good night sleep tight young lovers, and the sound track for the movie. Both Blu-Ray movies were great. Got to crank the volume on both and enjoy the full sound fx.

Mio Figure, originally uploaded by Danny Choo.

It seems rare these days that I get a chance to do some blogging and reading of blogs and in this case it might be a good thing. Why, you tell me… Isn’t she just to cute? Dang it Danny, you had to go and post more poison.

My UpLark version is due to arrive tomorrow and now I get hit with this one…. My only question, do I really need to eat? No release date yet. Keeping my fingers crossed it is a distant date so my credit card can cool down a bit..

FINALLY, after ordering Mio (Alter) back in September of last year and waiting through 3 date changes, she has arrived. I also picked up Aisaka Taiga. At Toys R Us, I was able to snag a couple of figurines by Sega as well. More next month…

Initial Opinion – Really cute! Instant must have so I have already put my reservation in.  It will be competing cuteness between this and Nendoroid version of Nakano.

So while I, like thousands of others of others were desperately try to snag the ultimate in cute Nendoroid Nakano Azusa, I stumbled on this bit on the Neko Magic blog. It appears Alter has turned their eye to Azusa and plans to relsease a version of poison just in time to kill my wallet. This is an automatic must have.

When I first saw this I was like wha?!?! But this figure grew on me fairly quickly. The attitude she exudes is obvious and is in contrast to other versions of the same Vocaloid (see below) I am not really a fan of the remake of Miku but this one I like.

Saber Triumphant Excalibur by GSC is available now for . Retail price is ¥9,333. Due in July 2010.

This is a nicely detailed version of Saber from the upcoming Fate/Stay Night movie. Saber, thought to be the strongest servant, stands ready to fight. This version of Saber comes with 2 interchangeable swords, Excalibur and a wind sword. The wind sword takes advantage of clear plastic to give the feeling of invisibility.

Initial Opinion – Being a Saber fan, I’d have to say this is an easy “Get”. The detail on her armor seems quite impressive. I also like her expression and the fact 2 blades are included. Good Smile Company (GSC) has been putting out some really nice figures lately.

Just what I needed… another version of Mio for my collection. Seriously did not think that I would get so hooked on Mio as a character, or as a series. Well, anyway, before I digress to far… Here she is, isn’t she cute?

More detailed images can be found here. On the link you can see the figure as it progresses. Don’t know the release date yet but from what is shown in the pictures, it looks pretty darn good!
