Listen to my song!!
Alpha Omega is really moving up the ranks in the figurine companies, I remember their Code Geass ones and they were pretty ace. Apparently they go for super popular shows and spend the extra money for their licenses, as opposed to the higher ups like Good Smile Company and Alter who mostly [...]

In the spirit of Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy Trading Arts, we have Kuroshitsuji ones coming out this month.
There’s a secret figure, too . . . I’m guessing it’s Grell’s normal form, or trap!Ciel.
After a quick Google search, preorders are open at:
Hobby Lobby Japan
Toy’s Logic
CD Japan

Gyakuten Saiban action figures by Volks on display at Tokyo Game Show last weekend: Phoenix, Edgeworth, Ema (GS4), and Trucy. They’re out in 2009 and are “no scale” (LOL). More photos under the cut.

I . . . had no idea that Toys’R’Us sold animu figures.
I was looking up Tales merchandise and found this 1/10 Leon Magnus figure on their site. Even funnier is the product description:
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The legendary RPG Tales series characters finally are available outside of Japan! TALES OF THE PHANTASIA (and subsequent related [...]

World’s number one princess, indeed.
Chara Hobby 2008 is a more mecha oriented & family friendly affair, but there were still many impressive figures on display. Also Vocaloid overload (including the world’s creepiest “booth babe” ever). More coverage under the cut!

Once upon a time, an ugly duckling became a swan princess. She rescued the prince, saved the world, and found true love, but discovered that, in the end, being just a duck was the greatest accomplishment of all.
I had my eye on this figure ever since it was a garage kit last year; not only [...]

Nico Nico Douga is infamous for its creative user base, who create their own songs, parodies, videos, and music all while keeping real time commentary through scrolling tags across the playing video. In particular, ニコニコ動画流星群 (Nico Nico Douga Ryuuseigun) is a +10 minute medley of various anime/video/meme songs that has become somewhat the “theme song” [...]

Okay, I’ll admit: I’m a huge Fukufag. When Kaiji ended last spring I cried manly tears because a second season wasn’t coming for at least a year. I watched Akagi to console myself and ended up crying more because there wasn’t going to be a new season of it. And when [...]
