Alright Japan, we get it. You REALLY love Aegis. I can understand why you'd love a robot that learns about human emotions and eventually understands the fragility of life. I like her too. With that said, please please please focus on another character?
Don't get me wrong, these pictures of Alter's ART WORKS version of Aegis out from Wonder Festival look great. Even without color I can appreciate the sculpting work along the gynoid's hips and shoulders as well as the gears leading up to her hands and fingers. It's even based on a piece of art that pleases me greatly. It's just, well, you've been done all over the place. Just about every company out there has had their paws all over you. No manor of paint or sculpt can make you look new. Figure companies, I know you're not listening, but could you make figures of other Persona characters instead of going back to Aegis?
Am I the only one out there feels like this? I know I can't be the only one who has seen that blonde hair and white body way too many times.

Yes! There is lots of good news for Tales fans this morning. ALTaiR's Jude Mathis from Tales of Xillia just shipped out to buyers. I'm hoping that mine shows up early next week.
ALTaiR just kindly released some assembly advice on their blog which people who purchased the figurine may want to review. Hit the jump to see a few basic instructions on how to safely assemble him.
