Hey guys, you know what’s cool? Figmas. You know what’s really cool? News. And you know what’s the coolest? Fridays. Why not have all three? It’s Figma News Fridays!
January is already behind us, and this last week was delightfully slow. But that’s only because Wonderfestival awaits! But while the silence lasts, let’s get started!
Monday
Satsuki Kiryuin Preorders Begin
Look at me, writing FNF on Friday.
This week had the typical release info, but topped off with some very awesome reveals of figures we’ve been waiting some time for! So let’s get started!
Monday
Nagato Delayed
Welcome to the first FNF of 2015 where we’re covering the first two weeks of January in one post! There’s a lot to look at, so let’s get started!
Week 1
Tuesday
Kyodhinhei/Giant Warrior WAS Up for Preorder
It’s Figma News Fridays, and in honor of the number of male figmas there are this time around, I declare it Figman Friday! With lots of surprises attributed not just to upcoming Wonderfestival, this was a great week. And that rings especially true for male figmas, as out of all the figmas we have to look at this week, only one of them is female. This is a manly man week, so let’s get started!
Wednesday
Kirito Re-release Preorders Begin
Welcome to Figma News Fridays! The second one this week actually since it totally slipped my mind last Friday, and I haven’t had time to write anything else this week because of classes. In fact, in spite of having only two classes, I’ve fallen a bit more behind than I’d prefer. My grades are still ok, but I’m just not as on top of things as I’d like to be. Maybe that’s because of doing my homework, I’m writing about small plastic people.
I usually check GSC’s website before writing FNF, and sure am glad I did today because I missed…more than half of the figma news this week. There were quite a few things, so let’s get started!
Monday
Thor Release Date Announced
Origin: The Avengers
Thor will be in sthores July 26th.
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
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
