If it's one thing we're not short on, it's figures of Aegis from Persona 3. There's been one from Alter, Kotobukiya, Max Factory, Gift, and COSPA, as well as kit makers Osiris and Dimension Diver. Granted the number of releases of Aegis figures is not on the level of certain characters like Kanu from Ikkitousen or Tamaki from ToHeart2 but it's enough to make us grind our teeth at the lack of support for the other cast members.
Now Bandai is stepping into the ring with their own poseable Aegis from their Chogokin line. And this one is above the rest for one reason only: gold chrome! Shiny objects always win people over! ...well, maybe not. Bandai does have a lovely face going for their version with some beautiful, swaying hair. Other faces include a closed eyes face and an action face. Aegis will also include three sets of weapons to replace her standard arm. The body is very basic but it's not like Aegis has much of a body to begin with.
Just like the Alter version of Aegis, I can't stop looking into the face of this one. Of course, no telling how the actual retail version will look like. Guess we'll all find out when she's released in September. Dig in your bank account and look for ¥5,000 if you want to add this poseable version to your collection.

It's funny how being around a lot of something can make me want that thing. I never figured myself to be big on Gunpla, as I was never into Gundam. But seeing all the various model kits on display at Bluefin's booth was enoug...
At Anime Central, Bandai had figures on display from their own line in the Bluefin booth, as well as D-Arts and SH Figuarts. There was nothing particularly shocking or brand new from them here. Most of their collection ...
There's a fine line between milking the cow and killing the golden goose. Bandai's Premium Web Shop walks the line like a guy with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. While a few of their efforts aren't too offensive, when you sta...
There is more to plamo than just robots. In the past couple of years, Pokemon has gotten in on the plamo action. With several evolution sets already in production, there's a long way still to go before 649. They're inching ev...
This year's Shizuoka has been my Itchy and Scratchy Land. Ready to go head over heels at all of the sights, only to be disappointed by the sameness of it all. That's not to say that there aren't gems and things to be excited ...
It was just announced yesterday and I wasn't thrilled by the news. It's just what feels like Master Grade Gundam #47. There's a reason why it was made though and Bandai had to prove that today. With what looks like a 1/100 sc...
Last week, Tamashii Nations teased Saint Seiya fans with an announcement that they had a big news. Setting up a special page with just a banner and a video, all that was said was that the Saint Cloth Myth 10th Anniversary Project had an announcement. Their news would be revealed on May 15 on Ustream at 1:30 Japan Standard Time. So what was their big news? Click the cut to find out!
This week is the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Bandai likes to bring out all of the stops and make huge announcements with its plamo lines. The big reveal has come early in the form of the next generation of Master Grade kits. The fir...
If there is any dish I love, it's curry. If there's any object I love, it's Gundam models. When the two get together, you would think I'd devour this down. When faced with an unappetizing dish, slap a Gundam on it and watch i...
