Figure News: Release Roundup, 12/25-1/1
02 Jan 2011 01:41:51

Whew! First post of the new year, and the first post in the new format! Anyway, this is still a developing process, so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas as to how I could improve my reporting here, don't hesitate to let me know!

As the first article of 2011, this Saturday post will be a roundup of all the figures released this week. When possible, the images will be of consumer-purchased samples, so you can see differences (if any) from the prototypes.

Revoltech Skeleton Warrior
Manufacturer: Kaiyodo
Origin: Jason and the Argonauts
Availability: Standard release
Notes: In scale with Figmas, Figuarts, and most human Revoltechs. Imagine the possibilities!

The arm bone's connected to the... Revoltech bone? I know, that wasn't very humerus.

Figma Yoshika Miyafuji

Striking from the skies to fight the war on pants!

Lucky Star Race Queens Ichiban Kuji set

Look at 'er go, flauntin' that DFC...

Robot Damashii EVA-03

"Fore!"

S.H. Figuarts Weather Dopant
Manufacturer: Bandai

Build your army of plastic moonrune speech-bubbles!
