I almost wish I hadn't looked at this because I didn't know that Kotobukiya had made a Poison Ivy bishoujo figure and I really, really want it since it would go rather nicely with my Catwoman bishoujo. And if I get it, I'll inevitably have to get that Harley Quinn one as well.

As much as I like seeing the anime merchandise, it would be nice if they were to bring some of the other prototypes such as the other Tiger & Bunny SH Figure Arts. Origami Cyclone just had his pre-order go up.

As for the Tiger & Bunny ones already out, I think it's a bit of a d*ck move to show off figures that had been sold out for months. Sure some of the cons had Barnaby Brooks Jr on hand, but getting a Wild Tiger is difficult.

I'm kind of surprised (and glad) to see Millhi-chan and Tamaki, since I don't think that DOG DAYS and ToHeart2 were licensed.

Wait...where was Nobel Gundam from again? Was that from G Gundam?

I always just called that one Sailor Moon Gundam.

Seriously, I don't know what took Bandai so long with Wing MGs. At Otakon last year I saw the first crowd of people to come out of the dealer's room, the people who'd waited five hours to get first pick. You know what I saw in one of those transparent plastic bags?

A damn Gundam Wing model from the mid-90s that Bandai still keeps in print to this day because it continues to sell. Just sayin'.


Well, the up side is that MGs now look better than they did 10 years ago. The down side of course is that 10 years later, I no longer have room for any potential new models! T__T

Ugh... How much are they selling those for? I remember when Wing first came out, a 1/144 scale model would cost $30 at the local mall. Outrageous! I can't believe I paid $15 for some of my 1/144s.

You really wouldn't have been happy with the Bluefin/Bandai booth because the shelves were lined with Wild Tiger (who is going into another print run but still being scalped by online sellers) and Barnaby. The Sky High on display was probably the only one they had, though: the empty box was there on the shelf.

Of course, this is an industry and press-only event: nothing on display is for sale unless you're a store looking to buy wholesale.

10200 at AmiAmi.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cost a pretty penny to ship though.

Shipping on HLJ is 5000y and I find I can always go by HLJ's shipping estimates for Amiami orders. So, that puts Sagittarius at about 190 shipped! Ow, ow ow ow
