Figure News: Release Roundup, 2/23-3/5

Well, the past 9 days or so have made up for the recent dearth of releases in a big way - all the major manufacturers shipped a lot of items out. The natural response is to list them!

Nendoroid Ui Hirasawa

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Origin: K-On!
Availability: Standard
Notes: Includes two bodies. With the exception of the Snow Miku hair, the image below consists entirely of Ui parts.


"The cloning process didn't turn out so well."

D-arts Omnimon

Manufacturer: Bandai
Origin: Digimon: The Movie
Availability: Standard
Notes: Includes two capes (articulated and static). Is about 1.3 times the height of the average Figmatechuarts. This combined with the capes means that the box is about twice the normal size.


"My might is rivaled only by my shipping costs!"

Figma Erio Mondial

Manufacturer: Max Factory
Origin: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
Availability: Standard
Notes: Is officially the smallest Figma in the line (at least, until Caro comes out).


So short, they had to use the extra-height-stand-clip to contain his shortness.

ULTRA-ACT Fake Ultraman

Manufacturer: Bandai
Origin: Ultraman
Availability: Exclusive (Tamashii Features)

ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL

Sci-Fi Revoltech Iron Man Mk. VI

S.A.S. Killer Queen 2nd

Manufacturer: Medicos Entertainment
Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part IV

Now in bubblegum flavor!

Nendoroid Kirino Kousaka

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company

Haters gonna hate...?

Mini Ika-Musume

Manufacturer: None given
Origin: Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Availability: Limited (included with LE version of the third Blu-ray of the anime)
Notes: HNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG


Alright, someone needs to contact Marvel and make this a reality. Or Capcom. Marvel vs. Capcom 4: Invader from the Bottom of the Sea. It'll be a blockbuster!

Haruhi Suzumiya Composite Ver.KA

Manufacturer: Bandai
Origin: Original design (oh, Katoki-san, you so silly~)
Availability: Standard
Notes: The Haruhi is basically an unlicensed Figma. Other figures can fit in the exoskeleton, provided they don't have hair/armor/whatever that gets in the way (I've seen it done with Figma Aigis and Figuarts Momotaros, to name a few).


"Get away from her, you bitch!"

On that note, is anyone looking forward to having Haruhi fight their Revoltech Alien Queen, or perhaps recreate a horror movie with Ui's extra headless body? Sound off below!
