Reserve or Regret? Import round up for April 17, 2012
Another day, another introduction here for Reserve or Regret. Though I have nothing today. But that's just my intro. I do have figures to tell you about that are up for pre-order. Square Enix continues to focus on titles from the west with figures from the recently controversial Mass Effect 3. Hopefully you'll get what you want from their Play Arts Kai figures of Commander Shepard, Garrus Vakarian, and Ashley Williams. Max Factory goes bad with figma Tekkaman Evil from Tekkaman Blade but balances that out with their 1/7-scale Menma from AnoHana. Not too keen on this Menma with her very petite, lanky body with the very large eyes and facial expression. Also in a swimsuit is Madoka Kyouno from Rinne no Lagrange as a part of Wave Corporation's 1/10-scale Beach Queens lines. Lechery is back not being lecherous this time with their 1/6-scale Sousetsuyou from Kenkyou Joen 3 Tensakujou. Wait. Scratch that. Lechery is keeping to their name as this figure has cast off armor. Keeping with that theme, new face Apple Tea is releasing the 1/7-scale Magical Girl Lily Star based on artwork for a hugging pillow. Rather than go with the cast off, Apple Tea just goes with the see-through top. Also available are figures from Virtual-On Marz and Maschinen Krieger by Hasegawa but no pictures are yet available for these products. And now this is where I go into my usually spiel asking you whether you'll reserve now or regret later. So, which will it be? Hit the jump for all the details and let us know in the comments.
