    Putting aside the "mandatory" sex scenes, I feel that American comics tend to portray female characters in a more exploitative manner than F/SN ever does.

    Well, maybe except for Hollow Ataraxia's Caren Ortensia, she of stockings with no skirt.

    This month's magazine scans have started appearing:

    Nothing new that we didn't just see at WF, but it's nice to get a better look at the accessories/faces/etc. Loving those effect parts for Exelion mode Nanoha.

    I would kill for a Cardcaptor Sakura figma.

    KILL.

    And not cleanly, either.

    Ah, but in the insanely small chance CCS figma did happen, how many and what costumes would you want to see?

    Any costume using a jester hat.

    Realistically I'd have no problems if they made one of her more iconic outfits, like the one from the anime's first opening, and one in her school uniform. The latter must include roller blades.

    This is really odd. I'm based in Singapore and I received my 2012 Racing Miku order yesterday. The weird thing is that I ordered 2 but only received 1 set in the box. I hope Goodsmile can resolve this problem. The other weird thing is that the item seems to have been shipped out from a local toy store (Toyntoys) since there was Toyntoys tape all over the shipping box (which itself was from our local post office). Wonder if I should give that store a call.

    EDIT: Curiousity got the better of me. Called the store and they said they'll check with Goodsmile. Here's hoping my 2nd Racing Miku doesn't vanish into thin air...

    That's not weird. Well, maybe it is a little, but it's not unusual or out of the ordinary in any way - for whatever reason, they're the ones GSC contracted to handle international distribution for their exclusives.

    Are the Nintendo figmas a yearly production? I'm just curious if I do get into these how long I'll be waiting inbetween each figure.

    So far it's been about 5-6 months apart and they usually cost about $40 each.

    Ah okay, didn't realize that. It's my first time ordering from GSC directly. Anyway, got an email from GSC and a call from Toyntoys today. They'll be mailing out my second piece soon. Pretty happy that this was resolved so quickly.

    Anyone know if there is a chance of them making Yuuya from Muv-Luv?
    I really want Yui & Cryska but I don't want them without Yuuya.
    hate how they skip over main characters when its a male sometimes.
