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.

Finally! More Shining Wind figures from Max Factory. It had been quite sometime since they release their highly-popular Kureha. Now they are coming out with Seena Kanon! From what I can see, the figure shall be based on the illustration which can be seen in the next page. This shall be a highly-anticipated one.

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. ^^

There are news and a prototype photo (just a back shot teaser) out in Shining Series Figure Blog on a possible Ryuna figure by Kotobukiya. From the website also, Ryuna seems to be the 9th of a 12-figure list. More Shining Wind figures coming?
