Figure News: Nendoroid Generation is really happening

I still can't believe that they're making a Nendoroid video game. I mean, GSC may be on great terms with much of the video game industry (they've made promotional Petit Nendoroids for everyone from Nippon Ichi to Arc System Works), but they're actually getting their own video game? Why!? ...But...

Figure News: Massive glut of pre-Golden-Week preorders

Figure News: New Figuarts preorders open (for all of five minutes)

Alright, I'm in a bit of a love-hate relationship with Bandai at the moment. On one hand, their last batch of announcements was one of the most impressive this year. But on the other hand, they still don't know how to distribute their products effectively. Two nights ago, preorders opene...
