Oh jeez... Got a FigInStock alert earlier for a Kirito on Mandarake. It came in at 14,000 yen.

I think that's the highest I've seen him and am totally taking it as the nail in the coffin that holds my hopes of getting one. I knew the new season would start driving the already-ridiculous prices up and it seems that way so far.

Edit - read that wrong and fast I thought you purchased him :p

Damn it Goodsmile get on that Sinon figma she's becoming popular since SAO 2 aired.

Keep holding out for a reissue, a new season and obvious demand/popularity might just be enough to push it.

Hold your horses there, Former...Kirito came out almost a year after Sword Art Online originally aired. Figma Haruka isn't even out yet, and he's due out in October, which will be well after Free! season 2 ends. SAO 2 only has 3 episodes out. Expecting a figma now is ridiculous! I'm sure she'll get made, I'd expect a gray prototype to show up in about 4-6 months, then probably 1-2 for the colored prototype, then another 3 for the preorder to show up, then another 3-4 for her to actually be released. I'd expect her out in June next year at the earliest.

I'm only saying this because they haven't made any attempts to make any of the other characters in figma form from the 2nd arc of season 1 despite Leafa actually being some what popular. I'm use to good smiles company schedule where they tend to show the prototype after a couple of months or a year after a anime is finished. Actually I don't expect her to be made, I'm just saying all of this out of wishful thinking. And if she does well I'll be a happy Sinon fanboy.

And I want the rest of the Persona 4 cast! Welcome to my world. (Sorry...I'm feeling a little salty tonight...I'm not sure why...)

and I'm sure she will. She's pretty much Asuna's replacement (as far as I've seen). Leafa...well GSC seems to put more focus on girls, so I have to agree with you there. Maybe they didn't see enough demand? I don't know. What's her popularity compared to Asuna?

Your fine I'm used to such things so it dosent bother me much. :lol

Leafa based on assumption is popular enough they still
Keep on pumping merchandise of her going from AmiAmi listings, and she does have a couple figurine statue, GSC even made a 1/8 scale of her.

Good! Because the fact that they only made Chie and Yukiko for 4, and like 5 different Aigises for 3 is really dumb! :lol

Well, most anime fans are fine with those statues, so that could be why. Maybe there's no demand for a poseable one.

Sucks Thor won't be out until Saturday, ironically during SDCC.
Man, I can even bare to watch the coverage. So many items...I'll never get.

Well, just got my first Figma in courtesy of Egnirys- Magical Girl Sayaka.

I have to say, apart from the fact that she's pretty much a brick from the waist down, I'm quite pleased with her.
