GSC Yashiro Kasumi Opened For Reservation


Wow, this is good news.. Good Smile Company has announced that the 2nd character of the game Muv-Luv Alternative; Yashiro Kasumi will be now available for pre-orders..

One of the MOE character in the game (which I didn’t play yet), I like how she looks.. Having twintails (I am a Twintails lover), she looks kawaii~~

I like how her suit shines, this must be one of the very few figures/figmas that have shiny outfits such as figma Miku and the upcoming 1/8 scale GSC Hatsune Miku..


I like the stuffed bunny that comes with her.. It really looks like those bunny bags that some people love to carry around.. It makes her more MOE than ever.. x.X


Well, she is now opened for reservation at Hobby Search for only 6800 yen which is about SGD$90.. Quite a decent price considering the shiny outfit she is wearing.. Maybe the quality used to make her is of higher grade, who knows..

I saw the entry from Wcloudx that this figure was shown during the Summer Wonder Festival 2008, and is also the second figure to be released from the series, with Mitsurugi Meiya as the first earlier last year…

GSC also gave us a sneakpeek on their 3rd figure from the series; Kagami Sumika which they have yet to announce.. She looks very nice holding the Heart on her hands.. Very unique is a sense..


Well, I managed to track down the OP for Muv-Luv Alternative for those who played this game last time.. Here you go:

Well, I seriously want to buy her but I have so many pre-orders coming in, especially in September.. I want to consult with Panther about the La Tendo pre-orders stuff… Will ask him when he is free.. ^^

WonFest Summer Touhou Project Resin Kits.

It been a few weeks since figures companies began announcing what figurines will be on sale during the Wonder Festival (WonFest), including the WonFest exclusive figurines..

Tokyo Hunter was kind enough to share what figurines will be on sale there and some of them caught my attention, especially the Touhou Project character figurines of Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame..


Well, I think this is my first time seeing figurines from the Touhou Project series but I think that were more of them before these..

However, they come in resin kits version, not PVC which is a no-no from me.. Reason stated below.. Anyway, here are a preview shots of both figures:

1/8 Reimu Hakurei (Nemu Matsukura ver.) Resin Kit

Height: 20cm
Sculptor: Shinpei Yokoshima
Retail price: 7,800 yen (5,800yen during WF)
Release date: 3 August 2008
Info:
Available for pre-orders during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer Event Advance Sale.

1/8 Marisa Kirisame (Nemu Matsukura ver.) Resin Kit

Height: 20cm
Sculptor: Shinpei Yokoshima
Retail price: 7,800 yen (5,800yen during WF)
Release date: 3 August 2008
Info:
Also available for pre-orders during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer Event Advance Sale.

——————————————

Well, even though I like how they look, I am not interested in buying them.. Reason is not about money but it is due to them being in resin version..

I’m not into resins for a long time because I am not those type that can be extra gentle with figurines.. So I fear my hands might lose its grip and result in the resin figurine to drop and break.. :(

I hope there would be a PVC version of any Touhou Project characters which looks great, especially Reimu Hakurei.. ^^

How about you? Do you still prefer to buy a figurine if it is made of resins instead of PVC??
