Although the Petit line of Nendoroids isn’t quite my thing, preferring their more substantial ilk, these upcoming Lucky Star mini figures casting Tsukasa, Kagami, Konata and Miyuki as Ken, Ryu, Guile and C. Viper respectively, are quite fun.

This empowering peice of action figure rhetoric made an appearance at PAX East this past weekend. A handful of which wound up in the grubby paws of some very lucky attendees. There were only 200 of them made so if you stick it on eBay, you’re definitely a parasite because Andrew Ryan said so.
So, we are going to daily fig it up this evening. Mostly because Brooks didn’t want to look at the last article on the front page anymore. Fortunately we have an outdoor exploring Nanoha Takamachi fig that makes me remember that in the “outside world” it might be Spring. Well at least for us northern hemisphere folk. The rest of you will have to find some depressing figs to symbolize Fall. Like anything from Fate/Stay Night, which I have continued to curse ever since finishing. DAMN YOU FATE/STAY NIGHT.

We’ve featured Hatsune Miku quite a few times. So by now you should be in the know regarding her identity. This time around our little Vocaloid Idol is tearing up the streets in a racer! Huzzah! This picture and those below come from tomopop.com, so be sure to check out what all they got goin on.
We’ve featured the Professor Layton Revoltech figure before, but his bad-assery knows no bounds.

Sorry we are slacking off this morning, but we we’ll have some things up later today, including a full review of Bush Hunt. Until then just look at Mio and listen to some jams from Kaleidoscope, Toki Tori, and VVVVVV.

Miku has been featured before as a daily fig and as a music video idol, but never before has she been featured as the leek waving tycoon of Monopoly. As mentioned elsewhere Hatsuna Miku is a Vocaloid character used for the marketing of the popular singing synthesizer software developed by Yamaha. This shot and lots more can be found over at figure.fm.
This is really a self serving post because I recently watched the series this character is from and I just felt like ranting about it. When I saw this fig pop up on figure.fm I thought to myself “hey here is my chance to bitch about Fate/Stay Night.” So that is exactly what I am going to do, but first lets go ahead and do the introduction.
This sword wielding figure is that of the character Saber from anime series Fate/Stay Night. Saber is a knight summoned to this world by main character Shiro Emiya to participate in the war for the Holy Grail, save the world, and of course fall in love.
I have a rule in anime that I have spent years cultivating. The rule is principally similar to that of the rule Leela suggests Fry use when telling stories. In Fry’s case, the rule is to always end his stories a sentence early. In my case, the rule is to never watch the last episode of an anime you like because invariably the creators of the series will have either found the most depressing possible ending or the dumbest possible ending. I have no idea how I failed so badly at following my own rule, but Fate/Stay Night manages to end up squarely in both the depressing and dumb categories.
My enjoyment of the series fits amazingly into an inverted U-shape curve, with zero enjoyment on either end. All bitching aside, that middle part is pretty awesome, just do yourself a favor and skip the first episode and half the last episode and substitute your own beginning and end.
Okay, you know who this one is. It’s Scrooge McDuck or, as his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie refer to him, Uncle Scrooge. This was one of my favorite characters growing up from the show DuckTales, but he has a whole lot more history than that.
While Uncle Scrooge is unlikely to be a character in Epic Mickey, since they are aiming for more obscure long forgotten characters from the depths of Disney’s vault, but I really can’t help but think about the game when I see old characters like this. To be honest I am somewhat concerned about that project. Don’t get me wrong, I really think they have the opportunity to create something so brilliant with those assets, but with it currently relegated to Wii exclusivity and the difficulties 3rd parties face on that system, my concerns are more than likely warranted. Here’s hoping we see it shed that exclusivity before it’s show time.
Late night ramblings aside, this fig was featured in a pre-order roundup on Tomopop and they have a few more items that you may fancy. So go give it a look over.
