Oh that genius professor! I know may have called Robot Damashii Bonta-kun the greatest figure ever, but that may have been a bit presumptive. Revoltech Professor Layton is now the greatest figure ever made. The sheer amount of accessories and spot-on detail make this a must grab. It's definitely looking to exceed expectations from when we first saw it at Revoltech Expo.
As far what is included, it's quite the load. Layton comes with two faces, a multitude of hand sets, a lovely table and chair, along with a nice cup of coffee, and his trusty notebook. The normal Revoltech stand has been ditched in favor of a clear stand and brick-paved road base. I can only imagine having Professor Layton having a nice talk with Yotsuba over a cup of coffee.
Professor Layton is set for a release this March with a retail price of only 2400 yen. No pre-orders have opened as of yet, but expect this to change sometime soon.
Square Enix has had fun with their Variants line. There's the DC lineup and then there's the intrigue of the original Final Fantasy. The first such figure we got to see was that of the Warrior of Light. While only being treat...

As promised (and later slightly revised), Vertex have put their rendition of Persona 4 Arena's Mitsuru up for pre-order from all good retailers. She's looking as stunning as ever, and that slightly larger 1/7 scale is sure to...
Akibahobby recently got their hands on a review sample of Alter's lovely Shining Blade: Misty 1/8th scale figure and posted up a gallery for everyone to see.
After checking out the gallery myself I can say that those who pre-...
Square Enix is a little busy with E3 on their hands right now, but they still made time to bring a few new Play Arts Kai figures with them. In this case, those would be the Final Fantasy X Yuna and Tidus Play Arts Kai an...
[Update: Vertex have issued a correction saying that she won't be up for pre-orders until Friday 14th. Patience!]
We got a paintless preview of Vertex's take on Mitsuru Kirijo last month, but now the final painted protot...
Kotobukiya recently updated their official blog and gave us a new preview of their about to released Cu-poche Saber. They have photos of Saber posed with her invisible sword, wind barrier special effect pieces, and of co...
Among Hollywood Collectibles' SDCC exclusives this year will be a rather spectacular Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) badge. The replica is based on the badge worn by Chris and the other S.T.A.R.S. members in t...
[update: Hidemi Matsuzuka has tweeted a headshot. And yes, even PAK Red XIII's face is better than the previous Play Arts version.]
About six or seven years have passed since I first drooled upon seeing photos of Square-...
E3 is going on right now (as this goes live, Sony's press conference is one hour away), so it's only fitting that Custom Made Monday dives into some video game customs this week! Well, we did last week, too, also using E3 as ...
