The only KLK figure I really want is a good figure of Satsuki in her student council president uniform.
Man, I fucking love that show. I thought I was the only one. I never expected it to turn into a kantai version of Tenchi Muyo, though. XD

Is there a "weekender girl" version of hatsune miku anywhere?
I would like to purchase such a thing, but I cant seem to find it

Arpeggio is the show I look forward to the most hands down. It's just that good.

The Pansy outfit? Sadly, I don't think they've made any figures of the 3D modules from the games or live shows. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any.

It was the science-fictiony warfare aspect of it that appealed to me. It's a nice change of pace from all the fucking schoolgirls.
I had a good deal of sci-fi warfare with Yukikaze already, but NAVAL WARFARE is sorely missing from the anime scene. So this is super super great.

Even withi short sleeves he looks awesome! One I regret passing up on. Is the UK seller you get from reliable and affordable? Always keeping my eye out for other people to spend my money with.
Yeah...and for pretty much any other media too. Easily my biggest frustration with this hobby. Granted the situation is a lot better compared to just a few years ago, even if there's still a lot to be desired.
Also, was this posted here yet? Noctis Play Arts prototype: https://twitter.com/hidemi_mad_dog/status/408969373148119040/photo/1/large
Bets on eventual pricing? I'd say 11,000 Yen myself.
Can't believe I missed this post. This is brilliant. A bit more costly than detolfs but much easier to handle I suspect.
Will definitely look into that once I return from Frankfurt.
I forgot this until my husband pointed it out to me, but as a warning to anyone wanting to do this, there's like a cm of gap between the doors. If you're super concerned about dust, you might want to look into gluing some weather stripping to one of the doors or something. I haven't noticed much dust getting in to be honest, but it's the sort of thing that bothers some people so I thought I should point it out.

Yeah, I noticed that from the pictures. Shouldn't be any reason for concern. Detolf units have a small gap between each side of the door and the rest of the glass pieces. I don't notice any dust getting in.

It's certainly interesting. So are they going to pump up the price because of how much PVC they need to use?
I'm definitely up for more clothed versions of this character, price of PVC be damned!
Yeah, Super Pochaco [Super Sonico's slightly chubbier, blonde, twin sister?] is definitely something different. She seems to be getting a lot of figures/merchandise too.
I'm interested in seeing if Orchid Seed does anything, though. Or maybe even Alter now that they have a Super Sonico on the market.

Was going through some stuff in the basement, and I found a few boxes of those old Dragonball Z Super Battle Collection figures. Also found a couple Collective File DX Naruto figures (Neji and Temari) from MegaHouse, and the first 7 sets of Evangelion Kubricks.

Reliable and affordable is a hard task to muster in the UK, as there is no official Hot Toy retailer here, you pretty much have to pre-order with whoever has the cheapest price or bite the bullet and use ebay with a seller who will mark your package as a gift to avoid custom fees on the Hong Kong release day.
The UK Hot Toys dealers I know of (that aren't forbidden planet or mothers basement) consist of the following:
One Sixth Bruce
Collectable Kitbash
The Good The Bad and The Robot
Collectables Direct
ToyHQ
Why So Serious?
Discontoys
They are reliable in that you will eventually get the item you ordered, and they are all cheaper then importing into this country, but personally I can't standing waiting forever to get my figures anymore and have almost of my future pre-orders with Sideshow, and what ever I don't have a pre-order for I'll just import from Hong Kong. What's another £20-£40 if I get the figures 4-6 months sooner then any UK dealer seem to be able to manage?
Just to put this in perspective:
I got Snake Eyes direct from Hong Kong on the 19th of July, a week after he came out, because I missed the pre-order window with OSB. £160
I just got Storm Shadow from OSB on the 6th of December and he came out July 11th in Hong Kong. £142
It took nearly 6 months to save a few quid.
I also don't want to recommend OSB, as my Hulk is literally on a slow boat from China that just left India on the 27th of November and won't be here until sometime next year.

Man watching through the 2nd season of Monogatari.
why have they made Figmas of every single character(even the worst most boring girl) but no Shinobu?
she could even have included the sword as an accessory.

Because they're obviously waiting to do a double release with Kiss Shot.

Oh god,
would preorder that day 1 if it ever happened.
Would also buy Black Hanekawa and maybe S2 Hanekawa.
But figma Hanekawa comes with her S2 hair.

What!?
that wasn't a rerelease or something, I swear I saw two or three different reviews that didn't show or even mention it.
Damn she was the only one I didn't buy because i figured they might do a more complete version later.
crap.

Ugh, I only ever saw the extra cat ears image(which doesn't do it for me without a full Black Hanekawa)
Thanks, guess I will go ahead and try to order her then.
Thank goodness that is another one off my laundry lists of Figma I want made.

If you can find one for a decent price, Alter's Black Hanekawa is a must-have.
I might get Kamael now. March works a lot better than December for me.

Can't wait,
my favorite anime character and best looking figma yet imo.
I had thought about canceling my preorder of Labcoat Kurisu considering I already plaid $100+ for the standard but decided to go ahead anyway.

No mention of Tharja? Hmmmmmmm.
Looks like every Monday they announce what's releasing the next week. So if she doesn't show up on the release list next Monday. Then she's probably delayed.

It doesn't help that, in general, it seems static male figures are limited to only a few certain figure makers. If I recall correctly, I think Max Factory's Aoba did well and FREEing is currently working on a Kaito so at least more companies may be willing to try. Maybe there's a chance for Valvrave at some point in the future. At least the show is still currently airing so all hope is not lost yet! I think SAO was a special case because of the major focus on Asuna.
One of my long term figure wishes was for a nice figure of Raidou Kuzunoha so I was hopeful for the Megahouse one but I'm not too trusting with MH quality lately and with a 12,800 yen price I can't help but think they're pricing him such since no one else will make a static Raidou figure. But I guess beggars can't be choosers..
I'm tempted to grab Kamael now, as well. Although, the face still bothers me a bit. I'll wait and see.
As for Bayonetta...it's about time! Here's hoping she lives up to my high expectations [judging from the recent pictures she definitely does]. I'm guessing Deep Sea Hatsune Miku and Tharja are delayed, though. I'm not too surprised.
