Reserve or Regret? Import round up for June 1, 2012
What a crazy way to start June with OMG what is that nightmare fuel in the header!? Um... yes, well, June starts off with a smorgasbord of pre-orders from Bandai which consists of two possible things: 1) You were up extra early to pre-order several of these releases or 2) these items were sold out within minutes cause, you know, it's products for One Piece, Tiger & Bunny, and other popular titles. So that nightmare fuel in the header? That is one of the many Figuarts ZERO releases from Baki the Grappler. For something to cleanse that from your mind, there's C.C. from Code Geass looking ever so cute as a part of the chibi-arts line. For more cuteness, Tiger & Bunny sees the next set of figures for the Half Age Characters line. One Piece brings the next pair of Figuarts ZERO figures with Sadie-chan and Hannyabal as well as a re-release of Roronoa Zoro New World Ver. There's also various mecha and sentai figures from the Gundam series, Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger, Full Metal Panic! Another, and more. That's just a few of what there's to choose from that Bandai had go up for pre-order. There are some other releases that aren't from Bandai. One that has my eye is CM's Corporation's Gutto Kuru Figure Collection La beaute Erio from Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko who is one of the cuter releases of her. Accel World sees the figma version of Black Lotus by Max Factory and the Revoltech Ashura gets the wood grain treatment like the other special versions before it. For those who know about the light novel series Date a Live, the sixth volume of the title will see a figure release of Touka Yatogami included. There's just no way I can list everything that went up in this bit of text so hit that jump for the full list of pre-orders and where you can order them. Also, share with us in the comments of what catches your eye that you want to reserve now so you don't regret it later.
