[UAF+M] Penguin Drum, Madoka & More [Goodsmile]

[upcoming anime figures + more]

I'm a pretty big collector of anime figures (I don't have nearly as much as some people on the internet do though >.<), but I'm always on the lookout for new exciting upcoming releases of figures from series I love or even figures that look just plain cool! I'll try my best to post ones I've stumbled upon everyweek and even non-figures such as cell phone straps and other character goods. You may even find some exclusive game figures here as well... as well as new goods I've gotten from local places like Robo Gato and online. I may even post some neat apps I've found on my phone.... so it sounds like this series should be called something like SWAG YO LIFE but I'll keep the in work title "upcoming anime figures + more" for now :D There are so many being released by Good Smile in the next few months that this entry is dedicated to just them.

Princess of the Crystal

[[image from HERE]]
Company: Good Smile
Series: Mawaru Penguindrum
Character: Takakura Himari
Type: Scale Anime (non-posable)
First seen at: WonFes summer 2012
I'm excited beyond belief for this particular figure. One thing about the Penguindrum anime I love was when the characters meet with what I like to call "penguin hat possessed Himari" aka "The Penguin Princess" because her outfit was so creative and pretty. If I wasn't so *cough*fluffy*cough* I would love to one day cosplay as her! I haven't seen an official release date for her but since this is still a prototype and it was just introduced at the most recent WonFes I do not foresee a release until late 2012 or early 2013.



Insane Black Rock Shooter

Company: Good Smile
Series: Black Rock Shooter
Character: Stella aka Black Rock Shooter or Rock
Type: Figma (posable)
First seen at: WonFes summer 2012
There are a lot of variations on the Black Rock Shooter Figma because a good chunk of them are exclusive to games or to Blu-Ray sets as this one is. She is exclusive to the TV Anime Black Rock Shooter Blu-Ray Box & DVD Box being released June 22nd of this year. I still really want the White Rock version that came out with the PSP game.... :'( I find the white version to be much prettier. If you'd like an easy way to get one locally, ask Ricky at Robo Gato about ordering the Blu-Ray box being released in Japan.


Ultimate Madoka

Company: Good Smile
Series: Puella Magi Mahou Shojo Madoka
Character: Madoka
Type: Scale Anime (non-posable)
First seen at: Good Smile Cafe
I seriously need to finish the anime now, if Madoka goes all God mode like this seems to suggest i'm all for finishing the last few episodes now! Afterwards I hope I am worthy to one day own this figure <3 I know fellow AugReal members Alex and Cris will go googly eyes over this one as they do with almost anything "mahou shoujo". I haven't seen an official release date.



Izanagi and Slipping Hablerie

[[image from HERE]]
Company: Good Smile
Series: Persona 4
Character: Izanagi, Slipping Hablerie
Type: Anime Scale (non-posable)
First seen at: probably WonderFes
Being released May 2012, I really like the look of this figure more so want because it's from the Persona 4 game gone anime that I am currently enjoying with all my might. I only wish there would be an anime adaptation of Persona 3 even though Persona Trinity Soul was probably the original answer to a Persona anime. If you check the Good Smile website you'll notice there are 26 scale figures being released between March-July 2012. some that I'm looking forward to are maid ver Kirino (My sister Can't be This Cute), maid ver Kuroneko (My sister Can't be this Cute), motorcycle Saber (fate/ZERO), Holy Angel Kamineko, and Yosura (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai).


Sunred

Company: Good Smile
Series: Astro Fighter Sunred
Character: Sunred
Type: Figma (posable)
First seen at: probably WonderFes
Figma is a really good line of figures. Seeing this Sunred one makes me happy because the anime itself is hilarious and look at those clothes. THEY'RE REAL! Normally the clothes are made with movable plastic that I forget the name of so it's really cool to see some real clothes >.<

Well that's all for this entry... I'd add more but it's already after 3am and I have some reading to do. Until next time!
