Well as I always say, any Queen’s Blade/Gate news is always good news. The Queen’s Blade website recently updated their page to reflect the newest additions to the QB lineup. Their announcements were covered in the January and March issues of japanese hobby magazine Hobby Japan, and now they’ve officially made their way into the roster, complete with background story, profile, and of course the all important 3 sizes. Their books are scheduled to go on sale on 6/20.
Mu Soft and SkyRocket’s new INO illustrated erogame Otome Function got a couple of small updates a couple days ago with some slight new character illustrations and teasers on how the game will work!
I dunno about you but I always love Queen’s Blade news. The latest news comes courtesy of Shingo at HeiseiDemocracy, who found an early preview of the May issue of japanese hobby magazine Hobby Japan over on japanese image board 2chan. The preview covers PVC figures of Queen’s Gate’s Gate Opener Alice (produced by Alpha x Omega, a joint effort between Megahouse and Alter), Queen’s Blade’s Assassin of a Thousand Faces Melona (Megahouse), a resin kit of QB’s Warrior Miko Tomoe (Griffon’s R-Line), and the revelation of a new QB character to debut alongside Combat Instructor Arein in June.
Not much new stuff in the way of figure news lately, as most of the big announcements I think have already come and gone after WonderFest. Despite that, there are new figures being announced, just like this new figure by Miyabiya, sculpted by Souden Bizen (I think that’s how you pronounce the name): Bible Black’s Takashiro (Sensei) Hiroko. Also announced is Yujin’s ARIA figure of Alicia Florence (don’t know the sculptor). They’re both set for a June release, and are ready for preorder at a number of stores at this time.

Since I got nothin else, just wanted to remind the folks who are interested that Tinklebell’s latest title, “Tsukiakari on Raspberry” is bein released on March 1st, 12am Japan Time sharp (at least on DLsite Maniax) which, at the time of this writing, should be in just a little over three hours. By this time, all the character introductions and screenshots have been introduced on the product page. The download is supposed to be a large 4.7gb, so those eager to jump right into it should maybe get it started before headin off to work in the morning so it’ll be ready by the time the socks come off back at home lol. Price has still yet to be determined. All of their Punyupuri titles thus far have made it just around the $20 range though, with their previous title YamiMaid coming in at a little over that mark, so it shouldn’t be too farfetched to assume a similar price. This is by far the largest download I’ve ever seen on DLsite though, so who knows…
Game is now released and can be grabbed here:
DLsite Maniax (accepts international credit cards as well)

A few new figures have gone up for preorder on Amiami, and most other online stores should have them up soon I think. Goodsmile Company’s 19 year old Takamachi Nanoha from Nanoha StrikerS, Toy’sWorks Miyamoto Rei from Inazuma’s High School of the Dead (woohoo!), and a very sexy alternate version of Yamato’s prisoner Kanu Unchou.
Heisei Democracy has brought to light a new figure from Toy’sWorks. From the delicious art stylings of Inazuma (of circle Digital Accel Works) comes the character Miyamoto Rei from the manga High School of the Dead. Set for a May release, the figure comes with a cast-off ability, an exchangeable top with two different arm configurations (I think the upper torso, or maybe entire torso), and the extendable pole that she carries around as a weapon (though I don’t know if the pole will actually be extendable). There’s also some present thing going on that includes extra special parts, which are a set of breasts that are not indented by her pole (you can sort of see what I mean if you click on the image to the left to expand) and a pair of handcuffs. Dunno what that is about though, if it’ll be included as a special first production run, or maybe some manga special to be released when the 4th volume of the manga hits. In any case, since it’s an Inazuma work, I’m totally down.
Oh yea…HeiDemo also talks about some Claymore figure that’s released in June, also from Toy’sWorks. You can check it out at either the post at HeiDemo or at Toy’sWorks page linked up above. *waves it away in light of Rei* lol
So what’s everybody doing today? Receive any nice chocolates? I’m havin a pretty normal sad here, which is why I’ve got nothing better to do than to post a couple things here at this time of day. The promo movie for Tsukiakari was released, and Griffon released some information on upcoming Wonderfest resin cast garage kits (don’t really care about this), which hopefully will make the leap to completed PVC or resin & coldcast completed figures (this I do care about lol).

After a year or more of some sort of delays (assuming), the Steel Princess Ymir finally gets her own game book coming Feb. 15, one day after Valentine’s Day in Japan for 1,500 Yen. There will also be a version of the book with an alternate dark clothing color scheme cover that will be sold online only by Post Channel Hobby Shop. (limited to 200 copies) I don’t imagine many people would be able to get one but just thought some people might have wanted to know lol.
