[Figures] Kotobukiya Blanc Neige & Noir Clalaclan

Akibahobby has a sample review of Blanc Neige, and Shining Tears/Wind blog Shine na Blog has revealed that Kotobukiya will be releasing an alternate dark color scheme for the first figure in their Shining Wind series of figures, Clalaclan Philias. Both look deliciously pleasing ^^

[Figures] Queen’s Gate Alice boosted ver. available for preorder

Hey there, didn’t think many places would be able to get this, so this is a treat to see! Local toys and figures importer Toys Logic (local to the US that is. They are located in Concord, California, USA; However, they do ship internationally) has been able to procure a number of this Hobby Japan magazine limited mail order figure of Queen’s Gate Alice boosted ver. (adult ver). She is sculpted by Yamachichi of Heavy Gauge, and figure production handled by Alter. You can see some pics of her over at Hobby Japan’s own Hobby Channel.

 

You can preorder her here
quantities are expected to be very limited, so if you know you want her but can’t get her elsewhere, go for it!

 

[Games] Speed Racer vs…. Ryu?

Hmm well we don’t know yet, but it could happen! Kotaku has pointed out that Capcom will be making another cross over game a la Marvel vs. Capcom, but this time it’s with anime studio Tatsunoko, who brought to us the likes of Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Macross/Robotech, Casshern and Karas, among others.

 

 

 

 

[Games] Two more Soul Calibur 4 guest characters

Yay more new “guest” characters to be introduced into Soul Calibur 4. Announced within the past week are Ashlotte, a character designed by the awesome artist Oh! Great (of Tenjo Tenge and Air Gear fame, as well as a number of hentai mangas under his belt), and Shura, designed by Oku Hiroya (author and artist of Gantz and Hen mangas). I’ve read people complaining about how they will tie these new characters into the main SC4 storyline, if at all? I’ve heard the Soul series has one of the best stories in a fighting game, but I haven’t even played (extensively) any of the Soul games, though I’ve owned Soul Calibur 2 and 3. Personally I don’t really care. I think these guest characters are a fun idea, and as long as they are fun to play with, then all is well with me.

Instead of the continuation of the story chapters, this week will be this short one page comic and minicolumn.

 

[Games] Sagat and M. Bison join in on the SFIV fun

So I guess I wasn’t too late to the party when I posted back about Vega and Balrog making the SF4 roster. I’d written then that I wasn’t sure whether any of the other “Four Kings” (the main four bosses of the original SF2) had made the cut since I hadn’t been keeping up with it closely, though there was no doubt that they’d be in there for sure. Well here’s definite confirmation now, as these shots show. It seems from various places that the release date for this is sometime in mid summer. Good stuff! More shots after the jump.

 

 

[Figures & Books] Yamashita Shunya banzai!

Yaaay a bit of good news for the great japanese sci-fi/fantasy artist Yamashita Shunya. Later in the year, there will be released a couple of new figures designed by the man, as well as his second artbook collection entitled “Wild Flower.”

 

 

 

 

 

[Movies] First look at Dragonball live action movie

HHMMMMMmmmm. Well personally I actually think the people they cast look ok lol. I’m sure most people have already heard that there will be a Hollywood live action version of Dragonball…maybe. It will be directed by James Wong and feature a mix of asian and american actors. Saw it when I was checking Superhero Hype for Dark Knight news.
