I have never seen a single episode of the anime series Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, but as soon as I saw this beauty on Mikatan blog this morning I knew I needed to find out where she came from and why I hadn't seen it yet. If you haven't seen it either, the character above is Ein, who is actually a top level assassin that goes under the name of Phantom.
I love the dynamic pose of this piece, and it's definately one I would consider putting in my collection as a reminder to go learn where the lovely design orignated from. She'll be announced for preorder later this week, and I'd expect her to be in the $70-$80 range (her pricing has not been confirmed as of yet). What do you think about that extreme lean though -- are you willing to take the chance that she'll stay in this pose, or is something like this asking to end up drooping in the sun?

When Kotobukiya first announced that Jonouchi Katsuya would be to be joining Yami Yugi (reviewed) and Seto Kaiba (reviewed) in the ArtFX J line, I was pretty ecstatic. As a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, I felt the line was a ...
Back in April, you could get your pre-orders in for the emotionlessly adorable Tsukiko of HenNeko fame. Now, I'm not really interested in kuudere girls, but the way Tsukiko still manages to clearly have emotions while being s...
My worries over PapaKiki continue to be taken care of thanks to FREEing, following up their cute little Miu with the eldest of the siblings, Sora. It stands to reason they're continuing their beach themed lineup, and there's ...
No doubt that Transformers Masterpiece figures are popular. Be it from Hasbro or Takara Tomy they have a tendency to sell out pretty quickly as pre-orders, to say nothing of their actual release date. It's pretty common for t...
