four eyes are so cool

Good Smile confirm a mass of further delays
Hold on Good Smile Company, I thought we'd already gotten June's delays done and dusted? Alas, it was just a trick to lure you into a false sense of security, as GSC have now unleashed a massive second announcement confirming a whole raft of other figures will be put back, with both Good Smile Comapny and its subsidiaries are affected. The figures in question are...
Good Smile Company
Rin Kagamine (Re-release)
Len Kagamine (Re-release)
Nendoroid Mikudayo
Nendoroid Monokuma
Nendoroid Hoshikuzu Witch Meruru
FREEing
1/7th Scale Racing Miku 2012 ver.
Penguin Parade
Penguin Parade - Yukimura Kusunoki
Penguin Parade - Petanko Yui
Penguin Parade - Petanko Yuri
Penguin Parade - Petanko Tenshi
Phat! Company
Nendoroid Houki Shinonono
Meruru
Minicchu IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls 01
Bayonetta
That's a lot of figures! The silver lining is that all of these delays are for one month only, back to July. Still, this is sort of getting out of hand. I can understand production issues for big, elaborate figures, but a lot of what's here is basic stuff. Get it together GSC.

Where’s All the Dragon Quest?
E3 has come and gone and there was no Dragon Quest. No Dragon Quest VII remake and no Dragon Quest X. I’m going to be pretty bummed out if the 3DS version of DQVII doesn’t make its way to the West. Maybe we’ll hear more at TGS.
