MegaHobby 2010 Expo: The iDOLM@STER

MegaHouse certainly does have its hands in some popular series. Earlier I said they had it in One Piece and Pretty Cure but I completely forgot they also have their hands in idol producing simulator The iDOLM@STER.

Sisters Futami Ami and Mami will be joining the cast in figure form but I have to ask what's going on with their molds. Both Ami and Mami are looking rather frightening in the sculpts of their faces. Maybe once they have paint and eyes, they won't look like soulless demons anymore.

Past and upcoming painted figures were also shown for this series. My heart is still aflutter for the business smart Akizuki Ritsuko because of her average appearance. Amami Haruka and Hoshii Miki were shown in their exclusive King of Pearl 360 outfits which share the same colors of the Xbox 360. Hagiwara Yukiho who is in the group is suppose to be receiving this special treatment but looks like the outfit wasn't ready for this event.

Other repaints of the cast were displayed as MegaHouse seems to make a killing in repainted The iDOLM@STER figures. Any fans of the series or designs find themselves caving on these releases? I know I will if I have to look at Ritsuko again one more time.

The Kotori figure is of interest. I already have the Ritsuko one on preorder and I'm debating whether or not I need a 5th Miki figure, I really do prefer this pose to the Alter ones. Though I wish they'd stop with the rereleases and hurry up with Makoto, Hibiki, and possibly the Dearly Stars girls, however, I won't complain if they rereleased their Chihaya figure, IMO she was one of the best in the Brilliant stage series.
Yeah, I also think Akizuki Ritsuko is the cutest of the bunch. I think it's a mix of the pose and the oddly cute glasses.

Where the hell did you find her for preorder? I've been looking everywhere.

If you're referring to Ritsuko I had to go through Tokyohunter (he has it up on his blog). Ritsuko is a Megatera online shop exclusive so you have to go through a proxy if you're not in Japan.
Apparently Ritsuko is also available for preorder from Toyslogic but I'll leave figuring out shipping/exchange rates vs their price to you C221.

$180?
Good LORD that's overpriced!
I'm going to go with Tokyohunter on this one. Thanks so much.
