There wasn’t much to talk about this week with new figures; I bought Shoujo S and managed to get on the second order for Azusa but that was pretty much it. So I was a little worried about the content of today’s post since there wasn’t much to talk about. Thankfully my store had a shipment of new figures come and one of them - *SHOCK* - I regret getting! Can you tell which one?

Wow, there are a lot of lackluster figures being officially put up for order this last week. Even taking last week - which I took off to post my most recent acquisition set - into consideration didn’t seem to offer up many more that grabbed me. There was one diamond in the rough though: GSC’s Triumphant Excalibur Saber. Sure it’s a character we’ve seen a billion of before but you can never have too many Saber’s. You can, however, have too few Rin’s.

I had a nice little treat waiting for me at my local store when I stopped by earlier in the week. And by little I really mean HUGE. Looks like whatever production issues that seemed to universally and negatively impact figure manufactures late last year has been resolved because the floodgates of figure goodness were opened wide this week.

I had expected my absence from posting during the holidays to yield a larger figure pool to talk about; similar to what happened when I returned from my previous break. There were a number of announcements but only a few of them I felt were worth talking about. There are a couple coming down the pipe from Comiket 77, but since there haven’t been official announcements for those I decided to leave them off. So here are the figures I’m excited about this week.

Figure makers were out in full force this week with Kotobukiya in particular representing the industry. Not only did they put out announcements for plethora of pleasing PVCs, but they also officially announced one of the greatest figures in recent memory that I’ve seen from them. Of course, with Kotobukiya, it’s their game to lose.

<Gendo>It’s been a while.</Gendo> Hard to believe it’s been 4 weeks since my last upcoming figures post. It certainly doesn’t feel like it, but looking back on all the new figures I didn’t cover there were a TON of them and I had a lot of catch-up to do. To add insult to injury, I’m out of practice and this post ended up taking a lot longer to write than usual and I’m exhausted. This, in turn, will likely result in more nonsensical ramblings than usual. Good news is that all the studying helped increase my vocabulary so at least the ramblings have big words interspersed within. See if you can spot them!
EDIT: More background info on Miku added.
