Sure, we've gotten some big announcements from Kotobukiya so far, but there's much more in store from the Japanese figure maker. Beyond Co-poche and the previously revealed Dark Magician, Kotobukiya had to offer:

  • Oreimo's Kirino and Kuroneko in swimsuits (and rather lively poses), with tentative 2013 release dates on them both. Maybe in time for the new season?
  • Brand new prototypes for Fate Testarossa (2013 release), Shining Blade's Sakuya Fire ver. (featured in the header) and IDOLM@STER's Takatsuki Yayoi Angelic Island ver. (1/7-scale).
  • A new figure of Sora no Otoshimono's Nymph that happens to have two mini-figures ... and massive hair. I mean, just look at those twintails! They're going to take up so much space.
  • A new prototype of Accel World's Kuroyukihime, taking a seat with Silver Crow's pig avatar cuddled in her arms. Expect to see her in 2013 as well.
  • The color debut of Kotobukiya's Vash the Stampede, which looks as impressive as you'd expect. 
  • Colored versions of the Shining series' Lorna Murasame (1/6-scale, November release) and Bunny-style Charlotte Dunois from Infinite Stratos (1/7-scale October, release).
  • Bakemonogatari's Sengoku Nadeko was there ... albeit in an unpainted prototype form even though we've seen her painted.
  • Figures featured previously include Shining Blade's Aira; Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse's Cryska Barchenowa Santa Swimsuit ver.; Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai's Yozora and Sena; the Mawaru Penguindrum stacking figures and penguins; a new figure of Nanoha; and the swimsuit version of Ano Natsu's Ichika Takatsuki and Rinon.
  • Figures we can tell you about but that weren't supposed to be photographed (and thus, don't appear in our gallery) are a matching Wolfwood prototype for Trigun's Vash (you can see his foot and cross Gatling gun in the background, though); and a scaled figure of Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse's Yui Takamura in her pilot suit, due out in 2013.

Hit the gallery to check everything out, and let us know if you spot something that catches your heart!
