Is she in the newest Touhou game or something?

She's Kosuzu, protagonist of Forbidden Scrollery, one of the official manga launched in 2012. She's a human villager that runs her family's book shop and collects cursed texts, basically. Volume 3 of the manga had that special edition with the figure. A friend wound up with an extra and sent it my way.

Ah okay, that makes sense.

Awesome, very generous.

Well this is bought, ESPECIALLY because it comes with the Master Sword & Mirror Shield for Nen-Toon Link

Blue Valkyrie · April 13, 2016, 04:29:13 PM

I want that to go along with my Toon Link.

Just in time for the 15th anniversary?

GIVE ME FIGMA AILE

... Ahem, will do some gunpla shopping later... Hopefully.

I have a MIGHTY NEED for that Nendo-Zelda. And that Sentinel-Hub, which I hope will be in-scale with the Figuarts/D-arts stuff.

Police Girl · April 17, 2016, 07:04:33 AM

Well the figuarts/D-arts are about 4-5 inches tall typically so they should actually be in scale.

Of note they're also doing classic Rock (And it looks hella better than the D-Arts version) and they apparently plan on doing Super Adapter Classic, Hubstyle and Dark EXE, Cutman, etc.

Hopefully they do Roll and company. Or Legends...

As an aside, this is what the Classic Rock looks like.

Dr. Wily II · April 17, 2016, 08:31:58 AM

That... Looks not bad. o:

OH MY GOOOOODDDD

Protoman Blues · May 27, 2016, 12:00:09 AM

Yeaaaaaaah, I'm gonna need that!

Police Girl · May 27, 2016, 02:01:20 AM

>Figuarts ZERO

Honestly if that's what they're just gonna do with the Megaman line they should just cancel it outright. Statues are annoying from companies that do posables so well.

Dr. Wily II · May 27, 2016, 02:11:57 AM

November release huh...
Makes for a perfect bdae gift!

Protoman Blues · May 27, 2016, 03:08:17 AM

I like the FAZero line though. They may not be poseable, but they usually look bad-ass.

Police Girl · May 27, 2016, 03:22:59 AM

Forgive me, just a bit salty regarding a recent interview with one of the Tamashii Nations dudes saying [parasitic bomb] regarding people picking up the Sailor Moon stuff as "Mostly Casuals" and considering stepping away from posables in favor of more statues because they think people prefer "Diorama pieces".

Considering I wouldn't even be buying figures, let alone figures of my favorite series if I only had access to statues that sorta boils my blood, we haven't even gotten the rest of the actual goddamn Senshi yet (Nothing introduced in SuperS or Stars has been made so no Eternal Moon or Starlights yet.)

I dunno, its just sorta... disappointing that after a couple years now after so much dead air and assuming the Megaman line was dead they sorta just pull a statue out of nowhere just before the 30th anniversary. Like, where's Roll? Protoman? Trigger? Maybe sales fell but that doesn't seem to stop you guys from putting out frivolous re-colors or new sculpts JUST AFTER A FRIVOLOUS RECOLOR (Thanks for giving us TWO SSJ Vegeta's this year guys. I really feel happy I bought the re-release of the old mold just for you guys to turn around and make a new one.)

I imagine its not as costly to produce statues and that's honestly fine. I just wish that we'd at least see/hear something else when they're announced.
