Kotobukiya teases for MegaHobby EXPO 2012 AutumnWho loves mosaics for figure previews!? I know Kotobukiya does! We just saw them do that recently for their Cu-poche Saber from Fate/stay night and now the company has even more as they get us all excited for MegaHobby EXPO 2012 Autumn this weekend on November 25, 2012. We've actually just saw some of what Kotobukiya is teasing in the latest magazine scans. That would be the 1/8-scale Elmina from Shining Blade who is teased in color and the 1/6-scale Mikoto Misaka -Beach Side- figure from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Others we've seen before also include the 1/8-scale Altina also from Shining Blade and Asuna from Sword Art Online who will now be in color since last seeing her almost a month ago. The other goodies that will be on display is, um, ...er, wow. Even in mosaic, the upcoming Cryska Barchenowa from Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse is looking rather attractive. No! I will not be swayed by that pose! Though... maybe it'll be better than the recent Yui Takamura that went up for pre-order. Now the question is when will Inia Sestina follow since she was announced together with Cryska at the Kotobukiya Hobby Exhibition? The final tease is for those who love girls on scooters and those who like to scratch their head like me. From the OAV One Off is Haruno Shiozaki ready to try and sell you on buying a Honda motorcycle. What's that? You're not interested in Honda? Perhaps I could interest you in a Yaris instead. So much stuff is happening for figure releases! So I have to ask again, anything catching your fancy? Did you know?
