It's been a while since I played the game and I'm surprised that GSC is still going strong with Touken Ranbu. A lot of people I know have moved on from the game (probably due to the not-much-exciting game events and updates) and went into similar games like Onmyoji.

The only announcement that I am waiting from them is a Nendoroid Nakigitsune. Make it happen please!

The lighting makes him look a bit weird. I saw a picture of him in different lighting and up close and he looks really pretty, though i think they shpuld have added more colorto his face like they didin his other figure.

I wish I see ould afford him but alas.. I hope he goes to a good home!!

Well, Touken Ranbu is still super popular in Japan ( and other places ) despite the gameplay ( or the lack of ). Games with simplistic gameplay tend to be popular over there due to ease of play, hence why games like Ensemble Stars and A3! tend to be popular as well. ( Apparently being able to play them in school without getting caught is a plus ). Though i can understand why people in the west ( Assuming thats where you are ) move on to games with more exciting gameplay. Just cultural differences or priorities, i guess.

Orange Rouge is probably going to milk Touken Ranbu for a while considering it popularized the making of Male figures, apparently. Naki will probably be announced next Wonderfes since he already got a figure.
