Lookie, it’s a Tsukasa figure! This figure is now up for preorder at your favorite online shops. Tsukasa’s onee-san, Kagami, is already scheduled for a May release (Also by Atelier Sai). I ordered her a while ago ;)
Maybe the Lucky Star fans out there will also want to pick up this lovely Tsukasa figure to complete the Hiiragi sisters? She will be released in August for ￥4800. More infos can be found at Atelier Sai’s site. If you want to preorder her now, try Hobby Search :)
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. Continue reading
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.
I just found out about this figure by FREEing which was announced a few days ago. They are releasing a full set of the four Lucky Star girls starting with Izumi Konata. These will be 1/4 scale figures which is really big, larger than any other figure I currently have. Of course, as a result of the large scale, it will be quite expensive. Hobby Search already has it up for pre-order for a hefty 10,677￥.
The cool thing about this figure is that it will have actual fabric for Konata’s gym uniform. I haven’t owned a figure with fabric clothes but it looks pretty good from the preview photographs. I’m really tempted to order this despite the cost ^^; I’ve been collecting a lot of Lucky Star items and this seems too good to pass up. I’m just not looking forward to how much lighter my wallet will be…
More pics and info at GSC. Scheduled release in June.
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
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. Continue reading
