Megahouse’s DX Izanagi

This is easily one of my favorite figures to come out in the past few months. The sculpt is fantastic and really does justice to the game designs. It’s one of the main reasons I’m really excited about the continuation of this line with Konohana Sakuya who also looks spectacular. 

I actually had a lot of trouble with this shoot. It’s still not quite where I want it to be but getting the levels right on a shoot with terrible lighting and a heavy fog made it quite a challenge to get things to the point where I was satisfied putting it up. If you are one of those many Persona 4 fans out there who collect toys. I would more than recommend this as it is easily the best piece of merchandise from the game released to this point. 

note to self: Never shoot at night in the fog again

Persona 3’s Aegis from ALTER.

One of the best figure manufacturers takes on one of the most overproduced characters in the figure world and outdoes every single other one out there. What can I really say about this figure that isn’t said by just looking. The details are absolutely stunning from the gears in the figure all being meticulously well crafted to the joints having Aegis etched in them in a clear and smooth manner. Combine that with a near perfect paint job and this goes from being just another Aegis to being not only the best rendition of the character, but one of the best figures of all time. If you can find a decent deal on the figure. I would say buy it, especially if you are a Megaten fan. This is a figure that anyone would be happy to have in their collection.

Earlier today we took a look at the opening for Persona 4 The Golden and tonight up pops a pre-order for a figure of Rise Kujikawa from Wave’s Beach Queen line of figures. The line is dedicated to producing cheap figures of popular characters in bathing suits and while they aren’t exactly the highest quality figures, they are a good choice for fans who want a decent figure of their favorite characters in bathing suits for a fair price.

Rise will run you 3100 Yen at Ami-Ami and should be released in late November.

why do I keep writing things about toys?

Mostly Megaten, the bottom has Dizzy who is going to be moved to a central display area when I get the entertainment center set up as she is the best figure of all time.

Persona 4 fans. Now is your day if you love Yukiko Amagi as figures of both her and her Persona Konohana Sakuya have gone up for order. She’s a fantastic looking figure and Konohana Sakuya looks absolutely stunning. I have the Izanagi in this line and if that is any indication then this persona is going to be one of the better figures coming this year. Yukiko is scheduled for release in August with Konohana Sakuya coming in July.

Pre-Order Yukiko at AmiAmi for 5990 Yen or Otacute for $83.90

Pre-Order Konohana Sakuya at AmiAmi for 7500 Yen or Otacute for $105.50

oh look I wrote a thing about toys…and ordered them with the fury of a million exploding suns…

Preview MegaHouse’s Yukiko Amagi & Konohana Sakuya

Really looking forward to Konohana Sakuya who looks just as good as the fantastic Izanagi.  Yukiko I’m not as big on but I’m looking forward to this more than the Bandai version. Feel free to hit the link to the article to see the full galleries.

Q: What do you think Jun thinks of Lisa and Tatsuya's relationship?
SATOMI: I think he wants Lisa to be a bit more gentle with Tatsuya.
KANEKO: She's really got a jealous nature, doesn't she? Didn't everyone expect Jun to tell her, "Shut the hell up, woman?" And then he'd say "Tatsuya, hold my hand a little bit tighter please."
SATOMI: Well, everyone is free to think what they like about that. *laugh* Personally, I don't think he's necessarily gay.
KANEKO: Jun isn't gay...but he likes Tatsuya, right?
SATOMI: He likes him. If Tatsuya asked, "Do you like me?" Jun would say, "I like you!"
KANEKO: Tatsuya would ask, "Do you like me?"
SATOMI: I think he'd ask like that.
KANEKO: I think he'd say something like, "What do you think of me?" And then Jun would say, "I like you!"
SATOMI: If Jun said something like that, he would turn away and seem happy.
KANEKO: Who would?
SATOMI: Tatusya would.
KANEKO: Tatsuya would turn away and say, "You do?" happily? Well then, he's gay, isn't he!
SATOMI: *laugh* ...that's why I said that everyone can think as they like about that issue.
KANEKO: Well, I don't know much about that kind of stuff, anyway. I'll have to do a little more homework. Hey, does Jun have thick hair?
SATOMI: It's not thick.
KANEKO: And Tatsuya's hair isn't thick either?
SATOMI: Right. So even if it gets tangled together, they'll be okay.
(NOTE: This refers to old, old literary references from the Heian in which two people slept together in the same bed, so close together that their hair got tangled together.)
KANEKO: What, so they really are gay. I see, so they're gay, huh...Well, then Jun's probably thought of assassinating Lisa? By setting some sort of trap for her...

If you like toys it’s definitely been a great time to be a Persona fan. The recent explosion in figures thanks to the anime has led to some really exciting things. We’ve seen the Nendoroid Yukiko before but sometimes it’s nice to get a nice and simple gallery that gives you a look at all the details put into this thing. I’m just going to share a few shots of the Akiba Hobby sample gallery and let you guys click through to see the other 37. I know I can’t wait to have her hanging out alongside Jack Frost on my mantle.

so many fun photoshoot ideas with her and Jack Frost

I usually consider myself up to date when it comes to figures but this ended up cathing me a little off guard as it’s not something I really expected to see. I mean Aegis in a maid outfit. How great is that? Well, not so great considering it’s relatively steep price of 10,800 Yen. She’s a little cheaper than that when you pre-order but it’s still a steep price for a figure that I am finding to have a sculpt that is a bit dull.

However, if you are interested you can snag her at Ami-Ami for 9190 yen, HLJ for 9,780, or Hobbysearch for 9,180
