This 1/4 scale figure is something to see. I was impressed with the details. In one shot you can even see where it appears the tied her breast plate armor on. WOW! Very nice work. I have not seen Fate/Stay Night yet but I have been reading the Manga and looking forward to watching the series. Anyways, I digress…

Here are some shots of Saber by Daiki Kougyo


This version of Saber is now available for reservation at Hobby Search for 25,650 Yen. Don’t forget, this is 1/4 scale…

I would love to have one of these, I just really like the detail.

Tough girl Ein from the anime Series Phantom – Requiem for the Phantom is available in scale form… Reservations are now being taken. I only just started watching this series so I can’t say much about the character yet. I do like the level of detail on this though. At the very least, worth a look.

Reservations can be made at Hobby Search for about 6,800 Yen retail.

This is a tough decision for me.. I did not reserve the Nendoroid Mio, Yui looks so cute that now I wish I had. Why break up such a pair.

Ponyo

I’m sure there are plenty of other reviews for the Movie so this one will be brief. I watched Ponyo this weekend with my kids and we completely enjoyed it. I got a kick out of how some of the names from previous names were used as were some of the faces from previous movies.

Some examples…
The boy from My Neighbor Totoro is the spitting image in face and name of the main character …
One of the Seniors at the Senior Center looked just like … from Howl’s Moving Castle when she had aged.
One of the Senior Center staff from the movie looked like on of the 2 daughters from My Neighbor Totoro as if she had grown up.

I’m sure there were other items present that I missed but those stood out to me.

The story is about a small fish/mermaid who after being exposed to magic, wants to become human. Having tasted human blood, she transforms herself into a girl about the age of the main character. These to play together and go an an adventure to find his mom once the island becomes flooded.

Meanwhile Ponyos mother and father decide to test the boys love for Ponyo and if it is true, allow her to remain as a girl. He passes the test proving that no matter her form, he will protect her. I think the story ended rather abruptly and could have had maybe another 10 minutes to show some of their life after she becomes a true little girl.

All-in-all, I really recommend this movie. If you are expecting Mech-warriors, demons, lightning, etc… those are not in this movie. Expect a wonderful story told brilliantly that has appeal to kids and parents of all ages. Hayao Miyazaki style is unique and I think the awards he has received are well deserved.

Other movies that he has produced include
Howl’s Moving Castle
My Neighbor Totoro
Spirited Away

Poking around the Akibahobby website, I came across this little bit of cuteness…. I would not mind getting one of these as a gift [that's a hint]… It appears that this is a limited edition version available through a magazine “Dengeki Bunko MAGAZINE (magazine) No. 09, March 2009″.

Gotta say, despite the large crowds of people at the Comiket convention, I’m still envious. I would love to attend some time just to say I did… That and to spend silly amounts of money I don’t really have… But I digress…

From the Akibahobby website here are a few snapshots of upcoming figurines. To save space, I chose a select few… If you want to see more, head on over the their website.

I was looking around the Internet tonight just searching for a few random things at some of my favorite haunts and came across this familiar face from Spice and Wolf… Maybe one day this will become available again since Funimation licensed the series…

I found Holo at Hobby Search.

Spotted this the other day and was impressed with the colors! I’m not familiar with the character but thought I should still share it because of its design.

This figure can be reserved at Hobby Search. Retail cost is 5,040 Yen.

Update – After a little digging, this character, Kobato, is from a Manga series Kobato [こばと。]. The little dog is her companion Ioryogi. Reading further, it appears an anime series is planned for fall this year.

K-ON! anime fans are bound recognize Mio. This 1/8 scale PVC is available for reservation now and is scheduled to be shipped in November.

I love the detail on this figurine and this will probably be one of the first, if not the first that I collect. I fear though, because of the cuteness and detail, I will have to further my collection with Yui, Mugi and Ritsu when they are released.

If they release a figurine for Azusa, I hope they include cat ears too… Azu-nyaa!

Reservations can be made at Hobby Search. Retail cost is 7,140 Yen.
