Y’know, I thought that my poor wallet could recover from monetary cardiac arrest but no, Goodsmile and Revoltech just have to flat-line it again. :\ I’m currently keeping watch on HobbySearch (my preferred Hobby Store) for pre-order openings but at the moment, you can only catch them at あみあみ. (Disclaimer: All info and images from said あみあみ.)
First up, Kaiyodo poisons us with new additions to their Revoltech and Revoltech Fraulein lines. Actually, re-makes should be the better term.
Here we have the Yotsuba Revoltech DX (Summer Set) version, set to be released in August. She comes with a whole set of new gear and new faces - so really, getting another of her (if you have the original one) isn’t really a waste. She retails for 2,600 yen.
More info here.
The Revoltech Fraulein re-introduces Ayanami Rei - have they run out of girls to Frauleinize already?! - in her bandaged form. Definitely a must-buy for all your bandage-moe kids out there. Her Lance is now a soothing purplish blue. She’s also being released in August for 2,200yen.
Frankly, Max Factory’s Figma line gives us the best wallet crunching reasons. Our elusive Konata - who rarely appears in anything but SD forms - is finally figma-tized. Figma Konata (Winter Uniform ver.) is being set for a July release and retails for 2,500yen. This definitely signals the start of the figma Lucky Star series, taking over from the rather popular figma Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi one.
Last but not least, we have figma Fate T. Harlaown (Barrier Jacket version). If anything, collectors should get her for her awesome weapons. Seriously, that sword is badass. Plus, she’ll make a lovely addition to the figma Nanoha I’m assuming you have - if you’re considering Fate. She retails for 2,800 yen and is being released in July.
There you have it! The latest posable figure releases! Are you going to get any?
OMG REI!
@double: LOL! hahaha. Her face is so much better in this Revoltech!
[...] Folks who own the original Revoltech Fraulein Ayanami Rei, would you buy this new version in August for a meazly 2200 Yen? Do I hear a sure! why not? ^^ Guess Revoltech’s learning to milk the customers. this version of Ayanami Rei is perfect for those who have a bandaged moe fetish. ^^; wonder why the Lance of Longinus is purple though. ^^ another question for EVA fans out there, watched the episode where this weapon was actually used, I have to say it’s actually more of a spear than a lance. but why is it called the Lance of Longinus? ^^ btw news and image via Tachikomatic Days.

Must get that Bandaged Rei and Fate.
Just so you know, Konata and Saber are up at Hobby Search XD
And I’m going to try to get them all…if I can afford it….
Just getting Konata ^^
Whoops I meant Fate, not Saber…’~’
@samejima: LOL. No Konata love?
@morimoli: Yup! I placed my pre-order for them already! X3
@James: w00t!
I would want to pre-order Fate and Konata but I think I have to stop my purchases for the time being. Oh the pain lol.
They look good, though I’m not getting any. ^.^
