I'll admit I'm not a huge mario fan but it is an awesome figure lol
I haven't seen the anime yet (Evil blu-ray of it is $72 for 4 episodes) but I love her character design and the figure looks amazing, as long as it comes out after july i'll pre order her
I'd like to if she comes out later in the year. Anytime past July should be good (please, please no more in July... pls...)

I don't know. Need to see prices and release dates. Yuki, I'm leery of because I don't want to start collecting another series.
Yuki Yuna is on Crunchyroll. Really you should just subscribe, the streaming quality is top notch and if you subscribe, you have access to a pretty huge library of shows. A lot cheaper then buying dvd/bd's.
EDIT: Plus it serves as a good, "I don't support piracy, see I subscribe to a legal streaming service" badge.

Thanks for the comment ! Crunchy roll is a great site but for me I just don't really enjoy subs at all plus watching anime online just doesn't feel right to me, theres just something satisfying as owning the disk, putting it it and enjoying that streaming can't replicate lol
Dammit, you can't be my image of an ideal girlfriend anymore. You watch english dubbed anime. dreams crushed
j/k
Somehow I doubt Alter will make all five. Then again, I don't really know how popular the series is. I thought I read that its sales exceeded expectations so, hey, maybe there is hope. Only two out of the five have been announced though.
All five would be great but they're already making Togo too. Yuki+Togo is a pretty killer combo even if the others don't get made.
I would trade all 5 in for an Alter Yona with her sword and bow and short hair (Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn, glorious shoujo anime)

Awww :'( -sadface- lol Love Live! and Oreimo are two of my top favorite Anime's though despite being sub only lol
but anyway that Yuki Yuna nendo is tempting too.
Yeah, idk if I can honestly say it's worth the money it would cost. I did really enjoy it though.

Naw, CR is trash
On the real though, I don't support CR because they have been actively trying to destroy sub groups. I mean, without sub groups, where would we be today?
Indeed! Plus you got to factor in streaming issues. But yea, I love owning disc copies too.

I think I will, our pink punching magical girl deserves to be in every household.
Love Live is amazing and Oreimo is good even if it was disturbing but I have a high tolerance to that sort of thing since I've been watching anime for 15 years (plus I knew it was coming years ahead of time cause Japan). Best character in Oreimo is his sisters yandere friend, Ayase, at least imo. >.>

Sub groups did their job but now that there are fast legal means to watching anime where money goes back to the studios and makers in some form and it doesn't mean I have to buy dvd's blind then I will support it over sub groups (I used to encode and time for subgroups "way back in the day" so its not like I don't have any appreciation for them, I did it for shows that were not getting any licence for the USA though and this was pre streaming days.).
It's like I will subscribe to a streaming service or buy songs individually for music now that it is offered because now I don't have to buy an entire cd for one song where the rest of the cd is garbage as was so common in the 90's. Sure those services aren't perfect and music artists are still getting screwed but at least some money is going to them. Final stage would be, and some already offer it, music artists selling their music direct to consumer with no music label middleman taking 90% of their money.
I will admit I used to download music in the early 2000's but that was when the option was buy an entire CD for 16+ dollars and that was it. That was a bullshit option, I ended up getting cds from the library and ripping them instead in those days lol. end rant

Gonna post images of figures that weren't in the dengeki gallery but amiami has, before it packs up whilst I work lol, but first other stuffs:
Fake edit, in fact being near the top, and image gallery bomb, will be annoying for people to browse this page so I'm just gonna link the places and you guys copy and paste the figures that caught your interests.

Preview: Cardfight!! Vanguard - Omniscience Regalia, Minerva 1/8 Complete Figure by Kotobukiya
Meshi here, ready to deliver another heaping helping of figure previews! I'm happy to see that the media mix of new school TCGs like Cardfight!! Vanguard are raising a new generation of analog gamers. Today's figure is particularly popular with young and old players alike thanks to Tony Taka's art and her Grade 3 stats. Let's dig in!
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Omniscience Regalia, Minerva 1/8 Complete Figure [Kotobukiya]
Start clearing out the best spot in your display case now, this Minerva isn't fooling around--and neither is her spear! Together they stand at around 30cm tall!!
All Knowing, huh... I usually go for All Showing but I'm willing to make an exception here! Sexy as her open shouldered miko uniform is I can't help but feel a bit blasphemous when I see the shinto paper "shide" hair ornaments.
Hey, if the owl is allowed to stare I have nothing to feel bad about. Between him and the hair feathers she looks wise far beyond her apparent years.
Also Akame ga Kill fans, you have to make due with this:Miyazawa Model Exhibition Spring 2015 - Bandai Booth

Eh if the quality was good then I'd be up for it. At times their subs are bad, they only show censored versions of shows, their 1080p is just a 720p upconvert that has macroblocking, their apps for streaming can suck most of the time. The only good thing that has come out of CR is that it has forced US based companies to step up their game in different areas (Like dub simulcastings) and more exposure.Sub groups did their job but now that there are fast legal means to watching anime where money goes back to the studios and makers in some form and it doesn't mean I have to buy dvd's blind then I will support it over sub groups.

I probably could go into a full blown essay (like how it has negatively affected physical prices) on why I don't care for CR but i'll leave it at that lol.
I picked up this beauty last night

That Protoman figure looks cool but those First 4 Figures always seem a tad overpriced to me, or perhaps it's just me.

HLJ has another clearance sale.
See if anything catches your eye.
I always laugh when I see this still being on sale. It probably cost more to ship her than to buy her, lol

Didn't realize Alter was doing a figure of Plamya as well.
WHY SO CHEAP!?
Kirigiri for 6.5k is a steal.

Until the 30th, I think.
I saw a thing or two of interest, but I really only have one thing in mind to pick up before I stick strictly to future releases.
This thing is legitimately just a ball of plastic.

But it's Kirby! As cute as the 3D Puzzle Kirby is, I don't like his puzzle gaps showing so much. I'm happy we're getting an official Nendo.

I should finish Akame ga Kill some time.
Yuki Yuna available at AmiAmi. 10,990 yen with a scheduled September release.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/de..._preorderitem=1$pagemax=40$getcnt=0$pagecnt=1
Cute figure, but I know nothing of the source material. It also helps that I'm trying to cut back, and the cost isn't exactly cheap [especially considering she's only 18cm tall and with a pretty standard pose].

The source material is great, you should watch it. Do it for our hero Yuuna.
a bit pricey for 1/8 figure tbh. But the quality looks cool
Not sure I want to.
If I do, and end up loving the series/characters, I'll feel obligated to own yet another figure. O_O
