For all the discussion of character selection, scare tactics, and revealing the entire lineup and all that, I think there are three main reasons for the decline in MOTUC subscriptions: The most popular, iconic characters have been made; The costs of the figures has gone up significantly; The overall popularity of MOTUC is winding down.

COMMENTARY: Girls and Boys Just Wanna Have Fun!
My poor brother grew up in a family full of nothing-but-girls. I’m convinced that this is the reason that he ended up with all of the cool toys. In true oldest sibling fashion, I wasn’t stopped by the sharpie-engraved “Jesse” label on the toys that cluttered his bedroom. I had to test every toy that [...]

Fan the flames with Nendoroid Aya Shameimaru
Good Smile Company revealed this Nendoroid Aya Shameimaru at WonFes, and now you can see more of this little gal thanks to Kahotan's Blog. Hailing from Touhou Project, Aya is both a reporter and a Tengu, able to manipulate wind.
This explains her accessories, which include a pen and notebook, wings, and a tornado effect piece. The tornado piece can be attached to a Nendoroid head to make it look like it's been trapped inside.
Kahotan took some pretty amuzing pictures of all these and a few more parts, though some of the images appear to be broken currently. She also mentions that Aya will be up for pre-order on August 13, so keep an eye out!

Catch maid Saber slacking off in this gallery
Saber never really seemed like the maid type to me, but I guess Plum disagrees. Their maid Saber figure went up for pre-orders last month, and Amiami has some new shots of her.
I'm not the biggest Saber fan in the world, but I do kind of like this figure. The staircase base is a great touch, and should look nice with a number of other figures. Saber's face is more cheerful and rounder than her usual look; you wouldn't know it was Fate/Stay Night's Saber if not for her signature hairstyle.
When I first started collecting figures (and the Tomocast was a regular thing), I remember the market being rife with Saber figures. She's not as popular a subject now, but it's funny to see that new ones still get made here and there.
