On the 27th of May (4 days ago), the pre-orders for the third Black★Rock Shooter scaled figure opened, and boy, is it a beaut.
Unlike the first one, this figure is based off of Matou’s alternate form in the upcoming OVA, and features her dashing forward, giant gun in hand.
So here are 6000 more words on the subject matter:
The pose is certainly more dynamic; you can almost see B★RS actually sprinting through her monotone checkerboard world.
Mikatan also posted preview photos of the figure a couple of days prior to the preorder opening day.
As expected, her eyes are much brighter (like in the OVA), and the detail on the gun (apparently known as the “★Rock Cannon”) is <3 again.
It's a great improvement over the first; admittedly, I thought the first (and the second) were a little too static for my taste. It doesn't mean I'll be getting it though; I'll be reserving my money for the ★Rock Cannon charm instead. At least, if I can still preorder it. XD
The figure will retail for 9,800 JPY, though as expected it’s going for slightly cheaper at other figure sites, such as AmiAmi (7,450 JPY) and Hobby Search (7,933 JPY).
So, man enough to burn another hole in your wallet?
Also, digressing a little, but I hear the Tokyo Trooper’s planning on bringing some B★RS footage to the Anime Expo…? I have no real clue whether it’s real, but hey, cross your fingers and all that.
Not that it applies to an Asian like me. ( -3-)

When does the OAV come out again?
The DVD will be distributed for free with the Hobby Japan magazine in the end of July as described earlier.
Of course, if you can win the lucky draw you can watch it in the beginning of July. =P
As you said the pose is really dynamic with nice flow seen on the hair and the coat. The way the chains are held makes it seem like something in motion captured in picture. Like the interesting base used there too.
But with lack of space and the high price tag on it, I am kinda hesitating and will try to settle on the figma one instead. Besides, I do hear GSC’s figures are declining in quality recently. Hope this is not the case for BRS when it comes out, and I will try to resist (in vain?) in the mean time…
