With Sen-ti-nel mostly pushing their poseable RIO:bone, especially at Wonder Festival 2012 [Winter], I forget that they dabble in static figures. As is the case with the latest pre-order of the popular little lady from Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai, Menma.

There's really nothing that stands out about this 1/7 scale figure. It's Menma again standing there looking cute and full of energy. Nothing we have not seen before from this lanky, little lady and her petite, stretched body of taffy by Kotobukiya and soon ALTER. I really don't have anything positive to say about this figure. With the quality of the figure and the lack of anything with her dress, this really doesn't need to be a 1/7 scale figure. 1/8, sure. It's plain, It's boring. It's, again, something we've already seen.

At a retail price of ¥7,429, I would say pass on Sen-ti-nel's 1/7 scale Menma. If anything, wait for ALTER's version because it actually offers more since it's more than Menma standing there looking cute. However, if you need to fulfill your obsession love for Menma, here's another option. This version by Sen-ti-nel will be available in July, 2012.

Andrew Lum has been drawing his Kibun character off and on for several years. Looks can be deceiving. At first one might assume Kibun has a cute, friendly personality. In actuality, he’s a serious sort who has a hard time enjoying life. Looking to move his alter ego of sorts...

lt;img src=quot;http://tformers.net/i/a/clips/target.gifquot; /gt; Spotted at Target in the Chicago, IL area yesterday. They had some new Kre-O displays that are just being set up. These are the tall rotating product display things that I can see will be stocked full of Transformers Kreons. I could see on one side it had a image of a G1 Ironhide Kreon figure with some stickers quot;Coming 2012quot; next to it. Anyone else see these displays yet?

They’re due out around September [...]

Today we celebrate four years of being super stars, and since we couldn't have done it without you awesome readers, we're going to give something away! Enter this here contest for a chance to win Master Chief Play Arts Kai (courtesy of Square Enix, because they're awesome, too). All you have to do it take a picture that describes your feelings when you think, "Because of Tomopop..."

...that's it! Last year, the staff responded to the theme in this nifty video, but now we want to know your own responses. It could be a picture of your collection, or an image of a Revoltech or figma doing something awful to him/herself after spending way too much money on that monstrously huge Miku figure that is so totally worth it. Show us how you jam, and you're in.

This contest will end in two weeks five days today (Wednesday, Feb. 15), and then a winner will be decided on awesomeness factors by staff. (It's pretty hard to do since you're all so awesome, though.)

Good luck everyone! As usual, everyone is welcome to join in the fun, just know that if you live outside of the U.S. or Canada we'll need some help with the shipping cost. Thanks!

[***edit/add: You can post up to three images as entries (thank Scarecroodle for that). As a side note, your entry doesn't necessarily have to include toys, so long as it goes with the theme. Leaving this one pretty open!]
