Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2015: Part 2
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I swear I didn’t spend my Valentine’s weekend eating nothing but chocolate, but I do think I might hold off on any chocolate for awhile…
Anyway, let’s get back on track with the blog!
Today I’ll be continuing from last week’s Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2015: Part 1! Today will be part two!
What is the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition?
The event is a special industry-only exhibition run by Good Smile Company which allows dealers and the media to get a close look at upcoming releases from various manufacturers.
Today I’ll be taking a look at the items on display from Max Factory and other manufacturer’s distributed by GSC! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Official photos of painted prototype revealed for Saitom Original Character Skytube by Alphamax
Alphamax has released today first official photos of their Skytube original character, based on an illustration by Saitom (Saito Masatsugu). Unpainted prototype of the figure was revealed a little more than a week ago, and the figure appeared painted at Wonder Festival 2015 [Winter].
Newly released photos confirm that the figure will be fully castoffable, with a total of three display options; wearing her apron and bikini underneath, in her bikini only, and completely naked. More information about the figure and details about pre-orders shouldn’t take too long to arrive.

Orca Toys reveals “To Aru Kagaku no Railgun” Misaka Mikoto Gravure Style variant version
Back in December 2014, Orca Toys opened pre-orders for their 1/6 scale figure of Misaka Mikoto from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun in her Gravure Style version. The company recently released first photos of a variant version of the figure, which sees Misaka Mikoto wearing a pink polka dot swimsuit instead of her orange one, and a different expression on her face.
Although we don’t have any official information about the figure, it’s relatively safe to assume that this variant version will share specs and details with the original figure, so a 1/6 scale standing 18 cm tall with sculpt by Clumsy Rei. Price and release date are, of course, still to be announced.

Ultraman Zetton “Ultra Kaijuu Gijinka Keikaku” by Plex up for preorder
Another Ultraman monster, this time Zetton, takes the shape of a cute and definitely sexy girl thanks to Plex. The giant, powerful horned humanoid beetle-like space monster who appeared in episode 39 of the series, announced quite some time ago, is sculpted in a rather sexy bee outfit by Inamura Kabutomushi Santarou and is now officially up for pre-order. The figure, which is a Milestone limited distribution, is a non-scale piece which stands 21 cm tall. List price is set to ¥9000 and release date scheduled for June 2015.
==========================================
Sword Art Online II Asuna and Leafa Swimsuit ver. by FuRyu fully revealed
Figures of “Sword Art Online II” Asuna (Undine ver.) and Leafa by FuRyu get fully revealed today, both proposed in their Swimsuit version. Scheduled for release this month around the 20th, each one of the non-scale figures stands 17 cm tall.
