Reserve or Regret? Import round up for May 31, 2012So another month has come to an end and it seems the figure makers want to make sure our wallets are empty before closing it. The big thing would have to be the assortment of figures from Fate/Zero from Good Smile Company and Max Factory which include figma Kiritsugu, the re-release of figma Saber Fate/Zero ver., and the snazzy ex:ride SPride Saber Motored Cuirassier. Speaking of Saber and re-releases, the 1/7-scale Saber ~Triumphant Excalibur~ is also available for pre-order. The rides don't end with Saber. Drossel from Fireball Charming will get to ride in style with the ex:ride SPride Josef which has ample space for those robo-hips. Super Sonico fans may be delighted to see another new figure of her coming that is not indecent. From Wing comes the 130mm tall poseable figure of Sonico that gives me the impression of mixing up a super deformed figure and a figma. On the subject of super deformed figures, PLEX will have a collection of characters from One Piece entering the new world with their AniChara Heroes series. Pokemon fans can look forward to three new model figures to collect from Pokemon Best Wishes. Bandai has an assortment of releases coming out because they love to spam their pre-orders. The company is already jumping on the upcoming Code Geass: Akito the Exiled with the release of the 1/35-scale Alexander Akito model kit. Bandai is also following up their Black Lotus model kit from Accel World with the release of Silver Crow. Of course it wouldn't be Bandai if there weren't any Gundam kits to collect. They have a few from various grades and titles including Gundam AGE and Gundam ZZ. There's still quite a few other things so hit the jump for the full list of pre-orders and all the details. So what will you be reserving for the last of this month so you don't regret it later?
