I’m not entirely sure preorderable is a word, but how else would I be able to get my point across?! HOW?!?! Well, we’ve all seen the sculpt for Max’s Sakaki Mizuki, so we all know that it’s top quality, most likely outdoing the source material (which you can check after the jump), so I will skip the sculpt details. She’s 1/8 scale and 200mm tall, and OMG WTF she’s reasonably priced. That’s right, Max has pulled back the insane 1/8 scale pricing a bit and Sasaki will hit the stores for 5,800 yen in November.

Hit the jump for the usual pictures of the fine lady. Also, I wanted to link this 1/3 ActionDoll of Fiina fam Earthlight. Good Jesus, 1/3 scale and 63,000 yen. She’s 600mm tall. August. You know you want to.

It’s another Monday and there’s not enough stuff for a rollup. Just three bits of figure news, one bit of which sucks. Let’s hit it like we just can’t quit it. First up, from Little Witch Parfait 2 -Heartful Memories-, comes Parfait. SHOCK! She looks ok for a Kaiyodo piece, but just… not enough there to get me excited about her existence. I’m sure fans of Little Witch Parfait are stoked, though. Due in September for 4,725 yen. But she’s only 140mm tall.

Next up, BOME is back for his 25th time in the saddle… experience doesn’t seem to have sharpened his skills at all. This time he is seen boring us all to death by ruining a perfectly good Misato Mutsumi character design. Oh man, it makes me weep. If you don’t know who Mutsumi is, she designs stuff for Leaf. Did ComiPa and ToHeart2. Still, BOME gets and A for Effort for attempting a dynamic pose and scene… yeah. That’s all I can say about this figure that isn’t negative. She’s 185mm tall and will be out in September for 4,725 yen.

Masashiya is playing that same old song again, with another 1/5 scale Hoshino Ruri figure. This one’s being called Special 5, and man… just… yeah. It could look a lot worse, I guess. Especially when you set it beside some of the older ones. A semi-win for Ruri fans! She’s out in October for 20,790 yen.

Hit the jump for all the pictures, while I go be depressed about the state of my finances. Someone send me some money. And some free time. However you mail that…

I don’t remember if I said it out loud, but I was just recently looking at all the trading figure kits and thinking about how they sucked. I wished, in my heart at least, that Max Factory would clear up this trading figure acne and let the beautiful skin shine through. I’m not going to buy them, mind you, but I still like the beautiful skin. And beautiful skin is apt, because Max Factory is doing an 8 piece 1BOX called Onegai*Onsen. Yes, that means what you think it means. The ladies from Onegai Twins/Sensei are sporting… well… not a whole lot. You know, underpants and stuff. Ahh, I’ll just skip the explanations and post them up after the jump. They’re out in December for 6,401 yen. It’s mildly NSFW, in case you only read this sentence.

Which is why it makes perfect sense that I’ll be posting this Iori from iDOL… I’m so sick of typing that. She’s 1/8 scale and goes along with the rest of the ladies from the show. She seems to clash pretty hard though, with the previous two bearing light pink and Iori sporting a serious deep color blast. Maybe future ladies will even it out. She’s pretty boring, but she will be out in November for 4,800 yen. Nice to see some sanity back in those 1/8 scales.

Hit the jump for shots of all the trading figs that were shown and Minase-tan. Also, forgive me for the post image. I couldn’t resist.

Hagaren wasn’t enough to keep those vagina lips quivering ladies? Is that what I’m hearing? You need more than that? You need something with… rounder faces? And… lame outfits? ME TOO! goo is currently hosting up some pictures of Juushin Enbu characters and a few screens from the anime. That’s the gist of it really… so how about some site news for filler!

I’m slapping together some forums. They will be up later. I did a pictureless con report. I will do a pictured one later. I am going to be doing a spankfuckingnew layout to go on the blog and will try to launch it alongside the SECRET PROJECT. Might be out a bit earlier than that. You know how it is. Also, Touhou demo.

You know what site I had totally forgotten about until someone linked it tonight? EARL.BOX. Man, I used to hit that site every fucking day way back when for all the best DVD compares and boring nerd things like that. Well, they’re a lot busier now, covering DVDs and some figures and manga stuff. Yessir, they must not have day jobs. And that’s fine, too. But getting to the point, thanks to the down on her luck Gia for pointing me at EARL.BOX for the news that Naisho no Tsubomi is getting turned into an anime. It’s a sex-ed manga, apparently, and the one person I know who has read it assures me that it’s hilarious. I’ll take her word for it.

As an added bonus, the EARL.BOX page with the info[NSFW] also has some screens from Code Geass DVD 7 where the OMG PERFECT Karen’s breasts take center stage. I am reminded of frame-stepping through FMP:TSR episode 2 to see the nipples on the twins. It was so worth it. As such, go frame-step through that episode, and send me a copy of Code Geass DVD 7.

Well, somehow, I deleted the RSS item and forgot entirely about this and now everyone and their homely cousin has posted it up. But hey, it’s like I explained to everyone, I don’t give a capybara’s vagina about being first. If I did, I’d probably not have a day job. Anywho, it was announced yesterday that the Haruhi PS2 game would come with a previously mentioned Haruhi Figma posable figure. Really, I have to say that even though I am still skeptical of the whole posable thing, the Figma line is wearing away at my angst. The special edition box will run you 10,290 yen for the game and the figure. Not a terrible price considering. The game itself will run you 7,140 yen. Look for both of them on shelves January 31st of next year.

That’s right kiddies. It’s from for a full three minute and forty-three second trailer of the upcoming Appleseed sequel, Appleseed Saga: Ex Machina. Yes, once again, ikimashou is willing to venture onto the toes of the stuffy Japanese suit wearing types to “copyright” infringe on publicly available videos. NOTHING IS OUT OF HAND HERE, CERTAINLY NOT. As it is, the film is set to hit Japanese theaters on October 20th.

Oh, and for all ye mighty who tread not on Microsoft’s hallowed grounds, there is a DailyMotion awaiting you after the jump. If ye dare. Stop letting the man get you down. Also, those prizes are SERIOUSLY GOING OUT SOON! I’ve been sick and super busy at work. Sorry guys. Haha.

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Too much? Ok, I’ll pull it back a bit. ALTER has come out with their announcements for… well, one is for November and one is for December. But who’s counting?! Let’s get right to it. For Haruhi fans that feel like Max Factory stopped just a bit short of a total fourgasm with the figures, ALTER is picking up the slack with their announcement of Tsuruya meido ver. Yessir. That’s the good stuff. Let’s hit the important parts first. For one, yes, she is of top notch quality, as you would expect. Secondly, yes, she has a fang. If this is the PVC girl you’ve been waiting for, then get your preorders in now. She’ll be out in November for 6,090 yen and will stand 180mm tall.

Next up, it’s Death-sensei from Peace@Pieces and boy howdy, I may have just found my December figure. The coloring on this figure is amazing and the sculpt is beautiful. Seriously. This is some top quality shit. But as much as I run my mouth about it, nothing speaks like pictures, so I’ll save my fanboying over Peace@Pieces for more private venues and just give you the vitals and get to the pictures. She’s out in December for 6,615 yen, stands 180mm tall, and makes me weep that prices seem to be on the rise industry wide. What’s this no inflation in Japan business?

Hit the jump for the usual sexy ALTER shots of each figure. YOU WON’T REGRET IT. Oh, and quick links to the two new Nendoroids. Not putting up pictures because I’m lazy. There’s Primula and Rider. Also, Yotsuba Revoltech is up for preorder now. Also, lots of good info on HD, including a FREEing Kyon no Imouto 1/4 scale.

Well, here I am again looking like a hopeless Sony fanboy, but this time, I promise, it’s a hopeless Kojima fanboy that I’m wearing the shoes of. Yessir, that man is a golden god, and the 15 minutes of play that I saw here have only made my penis harder. Seriously, this game is going to pwnz, and the story is going to be hot sex. I just know it. MGS3 made me weep. WEEP! And since it’s only in WMV, I’ve done the proper thing and uploaded it for you guys. Tell me you love me.

Hit the jump for that sexy, sexy flash video. Or hit the stream for a better quality thing. (Just a note, the video isn’t done encoding. It might take a little bit.)

Everyone loves visual novels, right? If not, you better learn to love them. You’re missing out. Ahhhh, fuck. I forgot what I was going to say after that. Anyway, the Myself ; Yourself visual novel is getting turned into an anime, so sayeth singer KAORI’s homepage. The anime is due out in October. It better be good. Especially Oribe Aoi. Mmmm.
