Otaku’s Hideout

Apparently, another company has decided to join the fun in producing similarly posed Beat Blades Haruka figures. This time it’s Volks. Their Haruka and Narika figures, judging from the photos, look very much alike Alter/Kotobukiya ones. (With some difference of course). Personally, I like Haruka from Volks. Her face looks much better. And her hair part feels nicer than Alter’s, which looks a bit weird. As for Narika, I also feel this one is much better than Kotobukiya’s (me not much of a Narika fan). Anyway, I can only really judge after a proper photo of her is up.

Continuation from my previous post: Click me!

Shining Wind’s official figure blog brings to us the prototype uncoloured version of the upcoming Ryuna figure from Kotobukiya. I will prefer to look at the final coloured version before making any judgements. ^^

This figure will come in three form: Normal edition, Limited edition (same as normal edition but with an extra telephone card.

The Miyazawa limited edition shall only has 500 units produced. She shall be out in September 2008 at 5800 (Normal and Miyazawa Limited Edition) and 6800 yen (Limited Edition).

Verdict: Not sure. Maybe getting the Miyazawa Ver.

After Aegis and Mitsuru, Alter is coming out with Elizabeth: another character from Persona3. As much as I like Persona3, I am only interested in Aegis, Mitsuru and Yukari. This Elizabeth figure should be great for her fans. Details seems good. She will be out in October 2008 at 5800 yen.

VERDICT: NOT FOR ME!

Disclaimer: This figure has not been released, nor do I own her.
