mechaninac Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Those Kobus are pretty neat; although I could care less for the pink one, the others are worth my consideration. The 1/8 Yamamoto figure from 2199 keeps looking better and better... still kicking myself for not preordering Yuki when I had the chance, but the next two shown look like easy passes for me. And that HAW206 tank from GITS... must... have! Is it a kit or a pre-finished figure/toy? Thanks for posting the video. Edited June 2, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 the two shown with sculpts I couldn't care less about but I'm already looking forward to Makoto and Kaoru. Quote
Major Focker Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 i jumped on the pink Kobu pre-order a few weeks ago thinking it might be a one-off. really pleased they're releasing the other variants which i think are cooler. guess i can now unload my Kobu model kits. IIRC, wasn't there a HAW206 previously? also hope they re-issue the Armsuit. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Hey, I could use some advice: both of these are on amazon right now for not bad prices and I've got $50 store credit: Yamato Neuromancer Yoko: 1/8 scale and fully pose-able for $120 Metal Build Freedom Gundam for $150: Edited June 3, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
GU-11 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Just my two cents' worth, but I say go with Yoko. Yamato's practically defunct now, and it's products will only get scarcer. Gundam, on the other hand, will always be there. Quote
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I've got that Yoko and, while it's a really nice sculpt, she does not stand well at all and the hair makes her head want to tilt up all the time. Quote
karmajay Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 8 days ago. For Megahouse, Alter、Kotobukiya, and the others' fans. What show are those samurai robot suits from (around 6:28 in)? Thanks! Quote
mechaninac Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 The Kobus are from Sakura Wars (Sakura Taisen): info. The TV show and OVAs are kind of forgettable, but the Steam Punk battle suits (somewhere in size between Maschinen Krieger, DORVACK and VOTOMS are great designs. Quote

Not sure what to do, kind of want both, really don't have enough money for both... god damn RVF-25 having to come out the same month... :edit: I think I should go for the Yoko. A pare of boobs and a robot in one month is a better variety of purchases than two robots. Edited June 3, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 BTW, Native is finally selling direct to Non-Japanese customers: http://native-global.ecq.sc/top/nacrwd00002.html I'm not going to lie there's something bizarrely interesting about this one even though it's all kinds of wrong. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 .... I'm not much for figures, and don't usually go for nudity... but I would almost buy that just for that one facial expression. Quote

It is going to be difficult to explain to friends and family regarding this item at your place. And it is definitely not be displayed at your office. Quote
JetJockey Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Couldn't resist this little witch... I thought for a second this was from Dragon's Crown. Not yet I guess. 8 days ago. For Megahouse, Alter、Kotobukiya, and the others' fans. There is a quick shot of what looks to be a sign showing a new Tachikoma coming out soon. I was about to get the Revoltech version. I guess I'll wait a while. Quote

anime52k8 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Got my Yoko figure today. The paint and sculpt are lovely and she comes with a really nice stand. She's like a really big, weighty Figma. only bad thing is that a bunch of the joints are really loose. I took it apart to try and add some super glue, hopefully it helps. Quote

BBTS listed a catwoman on a motorcyle statue from some DC commics art. 255.00 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=DCC11651&mode=retail undecided on the preorder... That hardly resembles her, and the only hints are the vaguely cat-shaped symbol on the backrest (or whatever it's called) and her goggles (and that's only if you go by the Arkham Asylum/City games). Honestly, a 3rd party company could actually market this using a different name, DC wouldn't be able to sue. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Something mildly interesting: http://www.hlj.com/product/aca01014 so the Neuromancer Line did in fact not die with Yamato and now has a slightly less silly name. I've never cared for Rei, but if they do an Asuka and/or Mari I'll be all over it. Quote
raptormesh Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Or how about some macross characters in the same line, would go for those. Quote
EXO Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 This is 8.25". Didn't Save say that the Hikaru figure is going to be the same height? If so it could be part of the C-Mo line. But a Misa figure would be great. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I totally don't remember anything about a Hikaru figure, but this line so far has been officially 1/8 scale. but Misa, Klan, Sharon apple, I can rattle off quite a few I'd buy. Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 That hardly resembles her, and the only hints are the vaguely cat-shaped symbol on the backrest (or whatever it's called) I thought it was a Punisher skull. Quote
GU-11 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I thought it was a Punisher skull. I would have thought so too, if I hadn't already known it was supposed to be a Catwoman themed statue. It's those two triangular protrusions that give the impression of cat ears. Then again, if I hadn't known who it was supposed to be, those things might as well have been horns. Quote

Major Focker Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 no idea who she is, but ordered right away Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 no idea who she is, but ordered right away My first impression is a very stylized Mitsuru Kijiro from the video game Persona 3. Quote
Major Focker Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 indeed, that was the name on the amiami page. what i meant was, that other than the name, i knew nothing about her or the game, but looks cool anyway, so insta-buy. Quote

I just happen to be playing Persona 3:FES right now, that's why I picked her out. If you have a PS2 that'll play American games, and have an interest in Japanese culture, I highly recommend this game. Quote
