Cardcaptor Sakura gets her own Nendoroid

The anime character that literally ruined my childhood gets her own Nendoroid for the very first time but would I like it or hate it even though she is the anime character that ruined my childhood?

Nendoroid CardCaptor Sakura

Remember this anime character? You'd be right because that's Cardcaptor Sakura, the anime character that ruined my childhood...several times since when I was in my fourth grade. I've became a laughing stock in my school when I was a kid thanks to Cardcaptor Sakura and I HATED IT. I also hated the closing theme song that goes na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na naaaaaahhhh! Sheesh...

Now, Good Smile Company announced that the main character of the anime series finally gets a Nendoroid for the very first time and the fans have been waited for a lifetime just for this...well, not me because I hated this anime thanks to my bitter and painful memories.

She will be available this September 2014 and priced at 4,444 Japanese Yen (around $45) before tax. You can book one for preorders from April 25, 2014 to May 28, 2014 and as a bonus when you preorder her at the official GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP, you will get a 'Sealing Wand (Key Form) Charm'.

Feel free to reserve her now...only if you're c*ck enough to mock me with the theme songs.

WAVE Beach Queens Kanako Watanabe unveiled

WAVE Beach Queens Kanako Watanabe

In case you haven't know about Star Driver, it was an anime series that was aired from Autumn 2010 to Spring 2011. This was about Takuto Tsunashi, who is on the quest to stop the secret organization known as The Glittering Crux in order to save Wako Agemaki, the girl who saved his life and one of the four maidens. This anime spawned for 25 episodes and next month, Star Driver gets its own theatrical movie this February 9.

To up the ante, there was this BEACH QUEENS figure modeled after one of the fan favorites of the series, Kanako Watanabe. This figure should be ready by June 2013 and it costs 3,990 Yen or an estimated US$45.

I had to say that this is just fantastically good for this figure and question is...was she your favorite character?

Beach Queens Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Teana Lanster

So, wanna guess what did I bought something?

Nope you're wrong! Because, Ladies and gents, it's the Beach Queens Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Teana Lanster!

By the looks of it, this Beach Queens interpretation of Nanoha StrikerS' Teana looks absurdly feisty in every angle. That gave me chills...

Better be careful with that thing.

That looks better in her sides.

I was expecting a better view at the rear but sadly though, it doesn't.

Now, how about a little something?

Ooh, now that was unexpected to see that.

The Beach Queens 1/10 scale PVC figure of Teana Lanster sure is as fun to look at as the other Beach Queens figures.

It was released in July 2010 and priced at about 3990 Japanese Yen.

Kuroneko as Kamineko

Holy Angel Kamineko

Good Smile Company launched a new pre-painted 1/7th scale PVC figure of Oreimo's Kuroneko as Holy Angel Kamineko, as seen on the 8th Volume of the Oreimo light novel. We don't know what's up with Kamineko, we really don't know the Kamineko gig, no one knows Kamineko, we don't want to know because that's just Kuroneko's gigs. To be on sale this May 2012, prices start at 8,800 Japanese Yen, which in Top Gear math is $120 or 6000 Philippine Pesos.

SNEAK PEEK: Armor Girls Project Infinite Stratos Blue Tears x Cecilia Alcott

Armor Girls Project Infinite Stratos
Blue Tears x Cecilia Alcott

This marks the inaugural launch of Bandai's new Armor Girls Project (AGP) line with the launch of Armor Girls Project Infinite Stratos Blue Tears x Cecilia Alcott PVC figure, which will go on sale this March 2012.

"Armor Girls Project" seems to be a rubbish name for Bandai's new lineup and frankly it deserves better because it could be the next big thing.Having Infinite Stratos' Cecilia Alcott as the inaugural first of its lineup is too rubbish and frankly it deserves better.

Compared to figma models and Busou Shinki models, this was supposed to be even more better. This is somewhat ambitious but rubbish.

If only Houki Shinonono and her Akatsubaki would have been the opening salvo instead of Cecilia Alcott and her Blue Tears...

Charlotte Dunois "Jersey version" figure revealed ahead of Spring 2012 debut!

Alter Infinite Stratos Charlotte Dunois Jersey Version figure

If we're going to place it on the COOL WALL, we'll place this on the SUB-ZERO side. Why? This Charlotte Dunois "Jersey version" figure by Alter is just brilliant. I especially love her facial expressions because her cuteness will simply make this new figure up to their wish lists or readying their bank checks to pre-order such an elegant figure, which will go on sale in Spring 2012.

GOOD SMILE COMPANY x KAMUI KOBAYASHI COLLABORATION

Just before the F1 Japan Grand Prix kicks off this Sunday at the Suzuka Circuit, Kamui Kobayashi (小林可夢偉), a Japanese F1 driver who represents Sauber-Ferrari, and famous for its tagline "The King of Overtaking" chose Good Smile Company to become his official partner and yes, Kamui Kobayashi spawned his very own Nendoroid and figma of his own!

Kamui Kobayashi Nendoroid

Kamui Kobayashi figma

Made possible by Good Smile Company, the Kamui Kobayashi Nendoroid (available this February) and the Kamui Kobayashi figma (available this March) are the biggest treats for those who are a big fan of this Japanese F1 driver who is skilled at overtaking.

Might be a little late for that but I'm sure car enthusiasts are readying their bank checks to pre-order such a cool treat.

I'm sure everyone will start complaining that how did a Japanese F1 driver spawned a Nendo and figma of his own. Coincidence? Nah, that's for supporting Kamui Kobayashi himself.

LEXUSのモノづくり? BEACH QUEENS 篠ノ之箒, 誕生！

WAVE Infinite Stratos Houki Shinonono
Beach Queens figure

Sure, it is expected for an April 2012 release but this not some kind of product you'll expect seeing it on the "Lexus Collection 2012 Spring & Summer" catalog. Yep, just saying the whole "IS(アイエス)" pun. Okay, time for some TSUBAKI STORIES...

The upcoming WAVE BEACH QUEENS Houki Shinonono figure, to be released this April 2012, really takes "The Pursuit of Perfection" to the next level because she's from IS (Infinite Stratos). Looks like L-Finesse really pays off to create such a premium forged figure.

Prices start at 3,999 Japanese Yen (tax inclusive), I'm sure everyone's readying their bank checks to pre-order such a pick-up item because the WAVE Infinite Stratos Houki Shinonono BEACH QUEENS figure possess Incisive Simplicity,  Intriguing Elegance, and Seamless Anticipation, just like Lexus design philosophy, L-Finesse.

After it was released in the public, other characters from Infinite Stratos such as Cecilia Alcott, Fan Rinin, Charlotte Dunois, and Laura Bodewig may follow soon! In the meantime, ready your bank checks to pre-order the premium forged WAVE Infinite Stratos Houki Shinonono BEACH QUEENS figure.

「ハヤテのごとく！」のマリア - 100のヴィ学

Elegant and cute

Maria-san!

This Sega Prize figure was debuted in early 2010 alongside with Hermione Ayasaki for a limited time as an arcade prize. Just like that, it was going, going, gone but I managed to get a hold of it from a Japan surplus since January.

It's her special ROUTINE!

Highly impressive for a highly-skilled maid of the Sanzenin household and her nekomimi look really hits the spot. Whatever the heck is, she still looks cute in any direction.

The Hakuo Captains

TAAMAH! It looks perfect with Hinagiku Katsura alongside. It's up you to decide who's cute...

How do you do, Master?

She looks elegant and cute for a professional maid but anyway, sorry for cutting this 100のヴィ学 short because I have plenty of time performing body search on her and who cares she could just kick me. LOLZ. No seriously, I had fun with this figure.

「ハヤテのごとく！」の桂ヒナギク - 100のヴィ学

I miss you

Back in 4th quarter 2009, the Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season Extra Figures made their debut as a prize figure from the famous UFO Catcher. Volume One was debuted in the end of 2009 and it features Nagi Sanzenin and Hinagiku Katsura. Volume Two debuted in 1st quarter 2010 with Maria and Hermione Ayasaki. I know, they had been there for a limited time and gone in 60 seconds. Right now, pictured here is the SEGA PRIZE Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season Extra Figure Volume One - Hinagiku Katsura. H-I-N-A! Hinagiku! Hi! Hi!

President of Student Government!

H-I-N-A! Hinagiku! Hi! Hi!

Her pose looks attractive because Hinagiku Katsura is the most attractive of all the Hayate the Combat Butler girls due to her strong nature. Although I gonna say that she looks hot in that pose!

Gosh, I love her pose!

She even has a green armband on her uniform!

Despite I bought it on some Japan surplus store (either in person or online), it still looks like it was freshly picked! No wonder somebody's chasing the student body president's hot looks! To be fair, I don't do wolf whistles on these figures because this degrades them. That is my 100のヴィ学 about this figure. Please don't tell me what 100のヴィ学 (hyaku no vi gaku) means.

About this Railgun Extra Figure Volume 2 courtesy of SEGA PRIZE

Surely, the volume 2 of the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Extra Figure courtesy of SEGA PRIZE is just one thing only Railgun fans would love to enjoy since Extra Figure Volume One (Consists of Biribiri and Kuroko).

Me and my little sister, Cecille, have these from Christmas and geez, this looks fit not just in my desk, but also in the bedroom.

Japanese otakus looking for these second wave figures are acquirable by winning these as prizes from the famous UFO Catcher at the Sega Game Center.

My figure of choice was Mii Konori, the brains of Judgment 177 branch, and my sister's choice was Kazari Uiharu, Kuroko's ally from the Judgment 177 branch who was voiced by the voiceover behind K-ON's Yui Hirasawa, if you know what I mean...

That figure of Uiharu-san looks simple but the figure of Konori-senpai looks somewhat attractive. Looking over Konori-senpai holding some kind of shield is just one thing but anyway it still looks fine.

Never thought this is the first time having a single figure, especially my little sis...
