FREEing 1/4 Kagami Pre-ordering Begins

2009may14163854_2451

The second Lucky Star character in FREEing’s 1/4 scale gym uniform set is up for pre-ordering.  Yep, this time it’s Kagami.  Some lovely twin tail power on display here.  She’s seriously cute in her gym uniform though I think her facial expression could have been better ^^;

Konata was announced back in February.  FREEing will be finishing up the set with Tsukasa and Miyuki soon.  I’m looking forward to them!  They are all 1/4 scale though so if you want to collect them, I hope you have lots of space!  Maybe I should be telling myself that then…

Kagami will be released in August 2009 and is available for pre-order at Hobby Search for 11,581 yen.  Costly, yes, but keep in mind she is 1/4 scale :)  I’m sure other shops will have her for pre-ordering soon.  More pics and info at GSC.

Kagami & Konata Chara-Ani Nendoroid

Just a quick look at some Nendoroids that I recently received.  These are the Chara-Ani versions of Kagami and Konata from Lucky Star.  These were limited edition Nendoroids and are somewhat difficult to find these days (and expensive).  They both feature food items as their special accessories.  Kagami has her delicious Pocky (Pochi here) and Konata has her choco cornet ^^

Each Nendoroid comes with 3 swappable faces, several arms, a chair, and stands.  Like just about all the other Nendoroids I have, they have a tendency to fall apart easily, usually at the legs >_<

I think I have too many Nendoroids now.  At least Lucky Star Nendoroids ^^;

I have another special  Nendoroid that I will be posting soon.  Pics coming soon :)

Tsukasa & Miyuki Nendoroids, Comptiq Ver.

comptiq-nendoroid-02

Lookie, Tsukasa and Miyuki Nendoroids!  These are the Comptiq versions which were released earlier this month.  The Comptiq versions were only available by order through the Comptiq magazine so I had to go through a third party to get these pre-ordered last fall.  Got a pretty good deal on them too since I did order them so early.  They can still be found on YJA and Ebay just for an extra premium.

Even more Lucky Star figures announced

01

Wow, what’s this?  More Lucky Star figures announced for release?  This year is turning out to be very generous to Lucky Star collectors.  This time it’s a 1/12 scale of the Hiiragi sisters, Kagami and Tsukasa by Wave Corporation.  This is the same company that’s releasing the Konata & Kanata set which I’ve already pre-ordered ;).  The only thing is that they are just 1/12 scale and yet the retail price will be ¥7,140 or ¥3,675 for each separately.  As much as I like Lucky Star, that seems a bit expensive for tiny 1/12 scale figures.  Ah well, I may still end up getting them ^^;  While Kagami while always be my favorite, Tsukasa looks particularly cute in this pose.  Quite tempting :)

More info and pics at Wave’s site.

Clayz 1/8 Hiiragi Kagami & Izumi Konata

clayz-01

Yay, they’re finally here.  These are the first real figures I’ve purchased since last August when I received my last set of Lucky Star characters figures.  Here we have Hiiragi Kagami (Kagamin) and Izumi Konata as made by Clayz.  From preview images of these figures, they looked a tad plain but upon arrival and further insepection, I have to say I like them.  They’re fairly simple but they capture the characters pretty well ^^ Continue reading

More Lucky Star Nendoroids fall from the sky

Ok, they didn’t actually fall from the sky but that would be a nice change of weather ^^;  In fact, I’ve had these nendoroids for a couple months; I just haven’t gotten around to taking photos of them until now.  And the reason for that is that I have a new camera :)  Yep, I’m the proud owner of a Canon 40D.  This is my first DSLR (that I didn’t borrow) so I’m still learning how to apply the various features of this powerful camera.

Unfortunately, the following photos reveal my inexperience as I took them the day I received the camera >_<  Ah, well.. I’ve actually learned quite a bit in the few days since then so hopefully my next photos will look better.  If anyone has expereience taking good photos of figures, I’d be interested in additional advice.  Hit the jump for the photos.

Kagami Figma + Ink-tan Nendoroid

Yay, new figures have arrived :D  This time I have received the most recent addition to the Lucky Star figma collection, Kagami Hiiragi!  Also, I have with me a super moe Ink-tan Nendoroid from the English study aids + anime series Moe-tan.  Who knows, maybe collecting figures isn’t so bad after all? ^_^  Hit the jump for more details and pictures.
