Black Friday Disney Store & Amazon PLANES
Seeking Top Toys, Good Housekeeping Puts Them to Test
Custom Q Figures by Kerry Dyer
Kerry Dyer has listed up on her online store a swell selection of customized figures on her "Q" creation, in a trio of "themes", priced £50 each. Click on either of these links to view more images on her Facebook albums: 'Waiting to Trek' / 'Heroically Patient' / 'Doctor's Waiting Room' (I am sure you can figure out who is what ;p).
"These figures are hand painted poly urethane resin casts of a set of resin figures I originally produced for ToyConUK earlier this year called The Q. " -added Kerry.
MegaHobby Expo: Autumn - Marika Katou sits atop the booty
Though I've never seen Bodacious Space Pirates (the unfortunate English title for Mouretsu Pirates), I am fond of the design for protagonist Marika Katou. It's 99% pirate-y flair with only a hint of seifuku-wearing schoolgirl underneath.
MegaHouse's take on this character was on display at MegaHobby Expo. She's currently unpainted, but the sculpt looks pretty good. Marika will join the Persona 4 ladies in MegaHouse's High Priestess brand. She looks to be one of the better sculpts in the line - just my opinion, but the first few Persona girls didn't impress me that much.

MegaHobby Expo: Autumn - A seraphim descends upon us
Shining Ark's Sakuya seems to be a busy lady, as she's assumed a wide variety of forms throughout the series. This latest prototype by Kotobukiya has her in her Seraphim form, which is just beautiful.
I'm a big fan of angel girls, but I don't actually own any such figures. They seem to be less common than demon girls for whatever reason. Anyway, this version of Sakuya would be right up my alley. You can see that the feathers of her wings are not the fluffy type found on birds. I like the effect though.

Test Pull for Fortune Cookie toy from Scott Tolleson
Test pull for "something" coming very soon from Scott Tolleson, who also mentioned; "There are plans for paper inserts"…
I imagine both Scott's fortune cookie and Paul Shih's "Master Bing The Fortune Teller" belong to two opposing restaurants, across the street from each other, both challenging for supremacy of the neighborhood! MUAHAHAHHAHA
MegaHobby Expo: Autumn - Amy and Grace loitering around
MegaHouse is showing off their prototype for Suisei no Gargantia's Amy at MegaHobby Expo. This one is based on some art depicting Amy and Grace in the act of drying off. From the prototype, though, Grace does look to be in more of an attack pose.
I like figures with a more casual look, so I have high hopes for Amy and Grace. If you really think about it, the subjects of a lot of figures aren't actually having much fun. This one seems less posed, more like she was just captured at a random moment in her life. I like it better that way.
