Comments on: Preorder Outlook IV http://www.tentaclearmada.com/2010/01/preorder-outlook-iv/ Things that make me happy Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:30:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tier http://www.tentaclearmada.com/2010/01/preorder-outlook-iv/#comment-2256 Tier Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:15:47 +0000 http://www.tentaclearmada.com/?p=1340#comment-2256 I'm still reading it, but the volumes are coming out pretty slowly here; the last volume came out last February and I don't think the next volume is due out until sometime this year. They got a different translator recently so the translation is more faithful now, but I didn't mind the quirky localization of the earlier volumes. Unfortunately I haven't seen any more of Sister Hell; as far as I know First Class didn't even show up at Wonder Festival. However, I think Orchid Seed is doing a figure of Sister Hell so I'm thinking I may just wait for that, since I generally like Orchid Seed's stuff. Maybe I'll just watch the episodes of Canaan that are prime numbers, if I watch it at all ... although then again, girls with guns anime are sorta hard to come by these days so I should probably appreciate what I can get.

And as you I am more than happy that we finally get a kickass figure of her. I take it for granted that you dropped the Horrible Tokyopop Ikki Tousen Translation? I would have never thought that Id say this but I am really glad that our German translations are kinda edgy and sloppy but stay rather true to the source material. I enjoy the Ikki Tousen Manga alot :D No love for Ryomou? Meh! My favorite! What does that say about my fetishes? Its not the maid outfit ;-P As far as Sister Hell goes I checked out some promo pics a while ago and she seemed very sloppily executed.Do you have any links to newer promo shots? Alphard and Canaan....They have Guns and great poses but the anime sucked...I think ill drop them because I cant really appreciate them. Her name is Kakoen Myousai!

It's there in the game CG pictures too, but I've never noticed it before. I wonder what that's really supposed to be? Ha, it does!

Misato looks great though XD Some people didn't seem to like it much (complaining about her boob plate and stuff) but it looks perfect to me.

Ah yeah, Misato. A nice achievement too. I own Asuka from the same set. And Rei but from Yamato... ^^ Maybe Misato will join me but she's not a priority. @Tier : Frankly, with this unicorn, this figure is even more attractive!

I'm not really liking this trend of Yamato putting out figures at >10k yen price points, but for those two, I'm going to pay happily regardless of the price tag.

I missed out on getting the painted GK version that Hobbyfan had back in stock almost a month ago, but that's cool 'cause the PVC version will be available there in October or so... I'll place a pre-order when I get the chance. Yeah, that Heat Blade is (even Stevie Wonder can see this coming a mile away) hot!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing GSC's Rin figure too; I wonder if they'll do Rider too? >> Katsura-chan I might change my mind and order Miku, but I've got a tough time shelling out >10k yen for a 1/8 scale figure >.< Unless it's super-rare or something. There's a new BRS figure in an action pose which I'm sure everyone has seen, but I'm still thinking one BRS is enough for me. >> MONOLITHIC Gee, I didn't know that Yamato's two Jun Tsukasa figures were up for preorder already. Compact Hog and Heat Blade are the two figures I am most interested in that haven't been officially announced yet. Hopefully that means a general preorder announcement will be coming really soon. Yeah, Tomomi is cute as hell, but I'd feel real weird having this 1/5 scale schoolgirl loli figure on my shelf <.< I don't know if I can resist though. I'm about 95% sure that I'm going to order Rika, especially since I think that Bible Black has the best schoolgirl uniforms in all of anime. And that Susan Storm figure truly does have a glorious backside XD It's pretty cool to see something like that from a Japanese artist; I kinda wish that more anime characters would take after that style. >> softz I'm thinking the same thing on Haruka, her face doesn't look right. Still, I'm hoping Griffon makes a figure of Subaru if Alter doesn't. I'm not sure why nobody seems to be able to make an accurate Dead or Alive figure; all the girls in that game have typical big-eyed anime style designs, but only Kotobukiya's Kokoro comes close in my opinion. Maybe it's Amanda's eyes? She's got really dark eyes and they look almost solid black. That's kinda weird since I looked up her character art and she actually has green eyes. Yeah, I'm not entirely digging Psylocke's face. I guess beggars can't be choosers though. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that it turns out alright. There's actually a big <a href=http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=98195 rel="nofollow">Psylocke statue</a> that's being done by Bowen Designs that I'm also looking at which looks very nice. Yeah, that Bible Black figure is too good to pass up, I'm thinking XD I wouldn't mind if they did an Aki and Yukiko figure of that quality, too. And thanks, I try not to take myself or the hobby too seriously XD >> Lylibellule A unicorn, that sounds pretty cool XD I forgot to list some of the E2046 stuff I'm ordering, I'm gonna order the Misato figure which doesn't really look like Misato, but I like it a lot anyway. They've got a lot of upcoming stuff in their ORI lineup which I like a lot. I'm thinking I'll wait on that Birdy figure then. I haven't yet seen much of the anime but I've heard that it's not that great in a technical sense, so I'm not sure if I'm going to make the time to watch it. >> Aka

In all this, i'll pick Rulilura which i lamely missed the first version. A bad for good because i prefer this one a lot better. Birdy prototype is nice but this editor often comes with bad surprises therefore i'm waiting the release before committing, especially regarding her price. Vanessa is sexy and really want to buy her. In the unknown, i'm waiting for post release photos as well. Elf Girl, i canceled my pre-order on E2046 because they're preparing great things with this figure, indeed they're planning a unicorn alongside her and i don't want to miss it for any reasons. Amanda Werner is too sexy! Impossible to not buying her :) Miku is also pre-ordered. And i'm waiting the official announcement of Shoujo S to add it to my other Native.
