[GSC] Nendoroid Petit Angel Beats! Set 01

Written by

angel_beats_nendo_set01Angel Beats! has seen it's fair share of Nendoroid Petit figures showing up in various magazines.  The August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's magazine comes with a Nendoroid Petit Tenshi figure.  The G's Festival Deluxe Vol. 06 magazine (Angel Beats! Edition) came with a Yuri Nendoroid Petit figure.  But now, finally and officially, Good Smile Company has opened reservations for their first Nendoroid Petit Angel Beats! Set.  This is the first set of possibly three total.  This set features Yuri, Shiina and Yusa.  An odd choice for combination, but none-the-less, still very cute.

[GSC] Black Rock Shooter -Animation Version-

Written by

brs_anime_figure_thumbNearing the release date of the anime, Good Smile Company has finally put out the highly anticipated animation version of Black Rock Shooter.  This PVC figure features a more dynamic pose.  Good Smile Company has captured Black Rock Shooter in mid-motion.  Her large Rock Cannon is still with her as she holds it with both hands.

Similar to the previous Black Rock Shooter figures, the base is styled in the same fashion.  With checkered black and white tiles and broken rocks, the base serves to further enhance the atmosphere of the figure.  The chains looping around the figure seem to be well detailed and can stand on their own.  Like the previous figure, the Rock Cannon is well proportioned and is still given that grainy-worn look.

asuka_plug_suit_thumbAs seen in the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, You Can (Not) Advance, this figure is modeled after Asuka in the special test plug suit as she prepares to pilot the experimental Eva Unit 03.  Alter has spent a great time to polish the details on this figure.

The cables that run through the test plug suit physically pop out and hold a unique texture.  The use of rubble and distorted steel beams for the structure create a perfect atmosphere for the scene.

[GSC] Yui Inaba PVC Figure

Written by

yui_inaba_thumbOnce again, Good Smile Company has proven to us that they have not lost their touch.  This figure is based on an illustration by the popular artist, Noizi Ito, and has been sculpted to keep all the characteristics of the original illustration as carefully as possible.  The character is Yui Inaba in the visual novel Flyable Hearts.

Everything from the pose, to the donut, to the cute expression on Yui's face has been captured without fail.  The color accuracy of this figure is probably the one factor that will stand out the most.

[GSC] PVC 1/7 Rin Tosaka and Dark Saber

Written by

Akibahobby has uploaded a single photo taken at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, of a 1/7 scale PVC prototype Rin Tosaka from Fate/stay night. The figure is impressively sculpted with careful attention to the contours of the body, though the shirt is rather unrealistically tight around her chest. No detailed sign was included in the photo but the figure was placed with other Goodsmile figures, thus leading us to assume it's most likely being manufactured by Goodsmile or possibly Max Factory.

As an added note, an additional photo shows that Goodsmile will be releasing yet another PVC figure of Saber from the same series, though after carefully examining her foot and chest armor it clearly shows that it's a 1/7 scale Dark Saber. Also note the absence of her signature ahoge on her head. We'll update accordingly with more information and photos as they appear online inside.

Update: Added more photos.
