I was gonna make a thread all about this particular one, but I decided to go ahead and make multi-purpose thread for people to gush about the new Sailor Moon figures and what-not.

But yea. This is a thing!

Here's the article about it.

Normally I'd be all "There should be a figma instead!" But this character is small and cuddly enough that it works in this form.

I have been waiting and waiting for this one for years now! I'm so happy she's about to be open to preorders~ (gotta watch my usual shopping sites like a hawk, I have a feeling this one will go super fast.
I wonder when she'll actually be released too. sometimes the wait period between preorder and release date are brutal (like I forgot the Nagisa Momoe nendoroid was a thing I preordered until someone reminded me XD)

I collect nendoroids, so nendoroids of magical girls are something I always have my eye on (they're also 5x better than figmas so I'm glad they did nendoroids first)


edit* - annnnnd, preorder secured.  

she's being released in September! i have a feeling the preorders will go fast tho.

Here's an interesting new figure

does anyone remember that show "Umi Monogatari"? If not, it was 2009-ish show about a girl who lived in the ocean and partnered up with a shrine-maiden girl and beat evil. I haven't seen the whole thing myself, but it was supposed to be very relaxing and "healing". Its like Pretty Cure only if it was made-over into a spa.

Apparently that show (or its characters anyway) were inspired by a pachinko game thats alot more high energy. A pachinko game that's apparently having its 15th anniversary this year.

And thats where this little figure comes in


Nendoroid Marin!

and apparently Uurin and ....blue haired girl are getting nendoroid-esque designs for the newest game
