Starscream's G1 colors continue to make everything better
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Starscream's G1-esque color scheme can improve pretty much anything (even his Bayformers counterpart). The most recent case-in-point comes in the form of Takara's Transformers Cloud Starscream, which was retooled from Generations Voyager-class Blitzwing (a mold that was also used to create Doubledealer). Whereas Blitzwing (and Doubledealer) left me feeling a little lukewarm, the Starscream retool appears to be made of awesome.
Starscream maintains the same three modes (bot, tank, jet...tank thingy), but features a new head, trademark null ray cannons, and a really cool paint job. Did I mention I like that deco?
Transformers Cloud Starscream is listed as having an August release and can be pre-ordered for US100.

Mika Jougasaki demonstrates some crazy-eyed charisma
Mika Jougasaki is one of the Jougasaki sisters (what, you haven't heard of them?) from Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls. I don't know what her personality is like, but I do love that grin and wild-eyed stare. You could say that I heart Mika indeed.
Another quirk of hers is that apparently she speaks in a way that uses a star as a punctuation mark. I'm pretty sure this was made fun of in Disgaea D2 with the idol character Lanzarotte, but further investigation is needed.
What you don't need to investigate are the pre-order details, which you'll find right here. This elaborate-looking piece is from Phat Company. She's set for an August release date with an MSRP of ¥12,800. That's steep for a 1/8-scale figure, but the set looks good enough that I may just bite.

Pre-order Satan, avoid her wrath
Although this post is safe for work, some of the product shots in these links are NSFW so I suggest clicking those at home. Anyway, on to the figure: Orchid Seed's 1/8-scale Satan! This is of course an entry into the Seven Deadly Sins line, which was created by Hobby Japan.
She looks different than I thought, though I don't know what I was expecting. We've had the previews and teasers forever now. The elaborate podium that serves as a base looks intimidating (and awesome) in black. Her fiery red-orange outfit is eye-catching as well. Full disclosure: if you want me to buy something, paint it red. That's a weakness of mine.
Satan is going for ¥11,000 and I'm sorry to say the discounts don't seem to be strong with this one. The silver lining is that you'll have plenty of time to save up, as she's set for a February 2015 release. Yes, that's next year.

Nendoroid Nagisa Momoe something something magical girl
This Nendoroid was announced a while back for the latest Madoka Magica film. Although the film came out last October, the spoiler situation can be tricky with anime movies so I'll keep this post intentionally vague.
Nagisa Momoe is from Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion. In it she's a character who does things. The Nendoroid version also comes with things, which you can use to recreate scenes in which she did the stuff. Spoiler: she has a block of cheese. Whew, that was tough. For those of you who don't care about potential spoilers (or maybe they're non-spoilers, who knows?), you can check out Kahotan's adorable preview.
Nendoroid Nagisa will be out in June, which may or may not be an important date. The MSRP is ¥3,889 but the story significance of this price is unconfirmed. You can pre-order her now... or can you?!
