Earlier this month it was revealed that Wave Corporation would be releasing a new Beach Queens figure of Mikoto Misaka from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun as a part of the Dengeki 20th Anniversary Festival (along with Taiga from Toradora!). An unexpected release but it looks like Mikoto won't be along in her latest beach adventures.

Pre-orders have opened for two new 1/10-scale figures from Wave's Beach Queens ES series, both of whom are also from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Similar releases you could say. Those pre-orders are for the one of many Mikoto's Sister clones and the interesting Last Order. Of course Mikoto's Sister would come with visor on head but it just doesn't feel right when I look at her empty hand. The pose is easily designed to have a rifle go there. Last Order brings her joyous expression as well as a pose that's very animated and fitting of her character. I do like how the three share a the same pattern for their swimsuits given the circumstances of each other. Too bad it's troublesome for collectors who want to own all three what with Mikoto being a Dengeki exclusive. 

Both Beach Queens Mikoto's Sister and Last Order are both retailing for ¥3,800 but won't be going to the beach at the same time. Mikoto's Sister will do so in April, 2013 while Last Order will follow in May, 2013. With a trio of these similar ladies coming out from this series in new outfits, will you be collecting any of them?
