Dengeki hobby exclusive, no doubt, if it even gets released . They have a nasty tendency to show off figures that don't actually come out (I'm looking at you, Endless Frontier AltEisen!). There might be a good change of a Soulgain release in the SRC line though, since it's kind of Alteisen's nemesis (or is it the other way around?) in the SRW Inspectors anime that's currently airing.

Did anyone happen to buy the Yamato die cast shield liger? It looks great and has lots of metal.. if only it was something other than a shield liger. Hopefully it sells ok and we get to see some of the more powerful ligers.
I often wonder if companies shoot themselves in the foot by starting with the less exciting figures when starting a new series. If I was Yamato and really wanted to actually make some money off of a Zoid figure, I would straight for the jugular and make a Liger Phoenix, or at least a Blade Liger Mirage WITH BOOSTERS. I'm completely befuddled as to why Revoltech would put out a Blade Liger and not have the boosters on it. It pretty much killed it for me.
So Yamato, if you make a Blade Liger, put boosters on it.

That is a good looking mech. I wish the colors had some variation, but still a nice design.

yeah i got three of them. They are decent but pricy. They are around 6" tall, very nice detail but articulation is slightly above average....... well you got double joints for arms and legs some slight hip/shoulder side rotation, and only back and fourth motion for head. Also, arm joints cant hold up weapons but they do stand up on their own pretty good. Accessories arent to much with the first release.

I hope they are not made like their fairly afforadable dual knigts figs cuz those got some issues like loose joints and ssloppy peg holes And that's my question as well. Not much info in terms of size comparison. The web page says non-scale. As far as accessories, Just going from the pics on the TMC site it seems to have one or 2 less accessories than the version in the A3 line. So it looks like Volks are calling this new variety of Muv-Luv mecha TMC or Tactical (surface fighter) Model Collection. Here's hoping the QC is better than the Dual Knights you mentioned. I'd still probably snatch one up, since the others just seem kinda expensive right now! LOL! EDIT: One thing I will say about the Volks offerings is that they sure know how to incorporate crisp details and proportions. All the mediums from them (GK, Toys) seem to looks aesthetically superior IMHO than the KOTO and Revo versions. Still looking forward to the Revo and getting my hands on the KOTO version. Blah....

Kamen Rider Accel Kamen Rider Faiz SB-555V Before you get too excited about this guy, just keep in mind that he's some special edition with a retail price of 23,000 Yen, and I'm not sure he transforms or has a bike as none of the additional pics had anything other than the figure.

True, but I like to use this thread to expose people to things they wouldn't see otherwise. A lot of our members don't go near the Tokusatsu sentai room (including myself actually) and I thought these figures were pretty cool generally..

A little bump here. Looks like Amiami has official preorders up for Phantasy Star Online: RAcaseal Elenor: Ver.APSY Plastic Kit. Just ordered this. I was a big fan of PSO back in the day, even helped run a popular fan forum. This is just what I need to hold me over until we get more news about PSO2. APSY is probably best known right now as the primary sculptor for figma, he's basically their Yamaguchi. Elenor here is only slightly taller than some figma so I hope she fits in well enough. Emerje
