Prize Fair 2012 Summer: Taito

Taito is not just about plush at the AOU Amusement Expo 2012 / Prize Fair 2012 Summer event. The company did have prize figures on display from a few series as well as some interesting and cute odds and ends.

Two kinds of To Aru Majutsu no Index II figures are being made. One set having Mikoto preparing to attack and Harumi extending her arm in a dramatic pose. The other set is for you swimsuit fans which will have the busty warrior Kaori and the Index looking to use her moe powers with her pose and summer hat. Speaking of summer, Taito revealed that they will be releasing a pair of figures of Remon and the lovely Ichika from Ano Natsu de Matteru. Though, based on the artwork, Ichika's legs could use a bit of editing. Nisemonogatari is seeing the Araragi sisters once again, this time from Taito, in a pair of super deformed figures. Also to follow the two will be super deformed figures of Shinobu and Nadeko, both looking so adorable in those art displays. 

We're now seeing Taito's Vocaloid and Powerpuff Girls collaboration with keychains of the Vocaloid characters in the Powerpuff Girls art style and the Powerpuff Girls dressed in Vocaloid attire. Cute stuff but would still prefer to see figures of the collaboration project. Taito's Super Mario Bros. merchandise is bit odd but silly at the same time with their night light Boo, Goomab speaker, and Koopa Trooper shell mouse. Continuing on the interesting thought, Taito has what appears to be speakers of large faces of characters Sonya and Yasuna from Nichijou Kill Me Baby! (thanks Samuel!) resting on top of some papercraft bodies. There is also one for Batman, too! Strange stuff.

Nothing overly exciting but some cute things. With prize figure makers doing figures from Ano Natsu de Matteru, we may start to see some larger scaled ones pop up soon.

Since Pedro already posted up the Naruto-related G.E.M. series additions, I am taking up the slack here with a Gintama-related G.E.M. series figure, Ginpachi-sensei! This prototype was shown at Megahoubby Expo by MegaHouse, a...

Megahobby Expo Spring 2013: Kotobukiya

At the spring Megahobby Expo, Kotobukiya unveiled some very nice new figures. For me, the biggest news was seeing a new addition to their Yu-Gi-Oh! ArtFx line. Yes, among the previously released Yu-Gi-Oh! figures, there was ...

Megahobby Expo 2013 Spring: Naruto Shippuden

Continuing with our Megahobby Spring 2013 coverage, I present a pair of, wait for it, G.E.Ms! *crickets* Ahem. Well, awful humor aside, I've seriously got some new additions to the G.E.M. line, both from the perennially&...

Megahobby Expo 2013 Spring: One Piece

Megahobby Expo is going on at this very instant on the other side of the world. For me, this should be a joyous occasion. Unfortunatley, it isn't. Why you ask? Well, I've got to point at the currently anemic showing...

The doctor is in! Nurse Miyu returns to pre-orders

A couple days ago we heard word that Lechery would be re-releasing their delicious Nurse Miyu figure, and sure enough, pre-orders have quickly appeared! I believe I've said before that I've never been one to understand the wh...

An elegant new Asuna is up for pre-orders

Griffon's previous Asuna may have been a little off the mark in terms of character recognition, but they're not down for the count yet! Stepping up to bat with a graceful Alfheim version of our heroine, she's still not quite ...

Take aim with this summery new Kirino

With such an inseparable pair, it's no surprise that where there is Shironeko, Kirino is close behind. Pretty much every company releases the two as a pair, and Chara-Ani is no different, pairing the breezy Shironeko with a K...

Pick up a perky pre-order of Miyuki Mana

Despite se.kirara being one of the many visual novels I've got next to no experience with, I still know some appealing character design when I see it--and Miss Miyuki Mana is not exactly my favorite character from the game. S...

High Priestess Chie Satonaka delayed to September

As much as Megahouse's High Priestess Chie Satonaka looks awesome, there's been some bad news the last two times I've posted about her. First, it was the news that Chie was a MegatreShop exclusive, and now a second bit of new...
