I'm glad I stuck to only Mikasa and Eren for Attack on Titan. I know I just wouldn't be satisfied with four completely identical figures.

Eren's box is at least a pretty blue. :lol

Has anything been said lately about the new Saber? I wanted one of her as soon as I finally watched Fate, but knowing there's another in the works is holding me back.

Also anyone here have the Accel World figures? I'm interested in those a bit too, but don't know if I want to go with the SHF or Figma Silver Crow. Though the Figma would fit in with Black Lotus and Scarlet Rain should I want those.

No...I think she was shown off at Wonderfest a while back, but I don't remember any other news that came out recently...sorry.

Some new images of Saber 2.0 have shown up. Definitely looking forward to this since I don't have the original release. The circle is being made available as well, but from the info I could find it seems that it's only going to be available for pre-orders in certain Japanese stores.

Oh, there we go! :D

Does it say in there anything about when she'll be released?

While the magic circle's nice, it's not something I'll sweat over missing. Just want me that Saber.

I couldn't find anything about a release date, and unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I don't know what any of that says in the first picture. :(

I agree about the magic circle though, it's cool but I won't really be upset at all if it isn't feasible to get over here.

Thanks to GSC now selling Wonderfest exclusives at cons I now have a Armin on the way to me :D With Eren on his way too that's 3 down and 1 to go!

Saber 2.0 pre-orders are up on AmiAmi, with a release date for late September!

And now that somebody brought it up in the TFW thread, I can't decide if I want to preorder or just get the Chogokin one. :/

Thanks for the heads up, just put my pre-order in. While the exclusive effect part is nice, it's not going to hamper my enjoyment of the figure.

Now if only they would go ahead and release Guyver I.....

Emptying my office of it's contents hasn't really left me much time for my hobby (sadly looks over at unopened school uniform madoka figures) but a new toy can always be an exception :thumb:

As can be expected, it is a solid release that doesn't fail to deliver on an interesting enough design. I know next to nothing of the series that the character hails from, but the allure of a sci-fi influenced, polearm wielding samurai influence was enough to draw me in. True to figma's strength, the character appears as she does from her anime appearance. The disproportionate design is odd at first, but one quickly adjust to it once the figure transitions into dynamic poses. A smattering of optional hands and faces are also included per standard. She includes two versions of the polearm, one standard length and one with variable lengths. The tip can be removed to allow the placement of an effect part. The figure also included a sword and scabbard, helping fuel my growing collection of blade wielding beauties. I ultimately found the figure satisfying, maybe I'll get to opening those Madoka figures soon.....

Just waiting it out for The Mighty Thor...and the rest of the Avengers....

Well, I don't know where else to ask since we don't have a thread for it, so here goes:

Just how bad is the QC for the Dragon Knight Figmas? I really want a regular version of Siren and Knight/Wing Knight and I'm not entirely sure I can fork out the 100+ for the SHF release of Knight. Are we talking McFarlane-level shite, "test your luck", or "not terrible but not great"- level bad?

I have quite a few of them, and the qc on them is what you expect when it comes to figmas. The paint work is clean and the construction holds together well. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the soft plastic used for the crotch detail. It is pliable and soft enough to accomodate posing, but prolonged stays in a given position can cause it to retain the bend. It unbends in relatively little time, but that might be a concern. I have no regrets owning any of the Dragon Knight figmas, especially Wing Knight. The cape on the figure is handled especially well, better than the solid cape of the figuarts.

Well, I really don't know what to expect from Figmas, seeing as I don't own any. Appreciate the response, though.

How do they scale compared to Figuarts? Taller, shorter, same size?

I don't own any Figmas, but I remember browsing this article long ago:

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryuki VS Figma Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

Not sure how much it helps.

The figmas are shorter, but not by much. But, you can fudge the difference in a neutral standing pose by slighlty pulling on the joints in the lower leg (the figma joints are removable). The proportions are noticable in a side by side comparison, but if the figures are posed dramatically, the differences become negligible.

So I just learned about the Attack on Titan Figmas. Are they being released in the US by someone?

They are not.

Mikasa is apparently getting a third rerelease, though. Eren just released last month so shouldn't be hard to come by. Armin will be the problem as he was a WonFest exclusive... And Levi's not out yet, so preorders are still open.

It is nice that they've responded to the demand in what could be considered a timely fashion. Ive been eyeing them, and the steady influx of supply is making it easy to pull the trigger.

I still have my Mikasa and Eren sitting in their boxes, waiting for the day that I can get more shelving space before I open them.

Haven't decided if I want Armin or not…part of me wants to finish off the trio, but another part doesn't wanna shell out that kind of money for the sidekick.

That is precisely why I haven't.

It's probably worth saying Link and Samus are also getting their third release. If only they'd realize that this popularity is a good indicator to make more freakin' Nintendo figures...

I had read that Nintendo was lifting the veil on licenses for their properties. That should, in theory, allow for companies to even court the idea of Fox McCloud amd Captain Falcon

Come on, Gravity and/or Fusion and/or Zero Suit Samus!

Heck, Max Factory already has experience with the Zero suit.

Wasn't Zero Suit Samus already confirmed at the last Wonderfest?

Yes, she was.

Ha, Figma Guyver. Aka the new Archer :lol

Well that was expected:

:eek: I thought I was all caught up. This is almost a no-brainer, but welcome release.

That looks like it's going to be impressive. The dress seems like it'll make it nearly impossible to pose without a stand, but considering how she appears in the movie I doubt many people would pose her in a non-hovering position anyway.

O_O... Demon Homura... SHE WILL BE MINE!

I forgot where I read it, but isnt she an aniplex exclusive?

And that was the moment all western Madoka fans spontaneously combusted in a firestorm of rage.

That's what Crunchyroll seem to be reporting. The good thing about Figma though is that their exclusives are never too hard to get a hold of.

Aniplex + will hopefully offer it to the western market, they've been rather active with the madoka exclusives.

... A few western Madoka fans.
