Figma News Fridays 8/1/14

Welcome to FNF where the “F” stands for “finally”! I was quite busy this last week with finals and papers, but now have two weeks of freedom! It’s not total freedom because I do plan to work as much as possible, but at least I’ll feel no guilt when doing whatever I want in my free time.
Thankfully, this past week was not a busy one for figmas though. We have just one preorder, a release date announcement, and a reminder, so let’s get started!

Tuesday

Saori Takebe Release Date Announced

The last FNF of June! But this isn’t just the last FNF of June, it’s also the last of my extended summer vacation! Perhaps you’ve gleaned from posts over the past year that after graduating highschool, I took some time off to…write about figures? Not really, but since I did not intend to take a full year off, and didn’t plan/can’t afford any spectacular trips, I did happen to write about figures a lot more than whatever it is you’re supposed to do during a gap year. Of course that does not mean that my life has not slowly shifted into where it should be. In this past year, I’ve gotten a job, learned to drive a car, bought a car, and learned more through the moon prism of experience about financial self control which is imperative when your hobby is collecting expensive plastic people from foreign places. School officially starts back up for me this upcoming Tuesday(mini semester ftw). I would say to expect my blogging to slow down, but I’ve already come down to about two posts a week, so things might not change too much.
And speaking of changes, we saw quite a few this past week in the figma world. These changes came in the form of preorders and magazine scans featuring a host of surprises! Now let us gather together and enjoy the last hurrah of this strange chapter of my life, for by next Friday, I will be a slightly different bunny. So let’s get started!

Tuesday

Nagato Preorders Begin
nagato preview page
From ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a figma of the battleship, Nagato!

Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
She comes three expressions including her standard expression, a half-damaged expression and a gentle smiling expression.
The large ship parts on her back can be attached and removed, and each of the turrets is separately articulated.
An articulated figma stand is included.
Nagato retails for 6296 yen and will be available in January 2015
