Kotobukiya's iconic Holo gets a fourth re-release
Kotobukiya's beautiful version of Spice & Wolf's Holo has become a trademark figure for the company. First released in 2008, she's undergone two subsequent re-releases, most recently in 2011. Now she's back for a near unprecedented fourth time.
This version of Holo is dubbed a 'Renewal Package Edition', but as far as I can tell that simply means a new box rather than any substantial changes to figure. That's a good thing too because this one is a timeless sculpt, simple but elegant and beautiful without being overly flashy. The gentle ripple of the dress, the cute arms outstretched pose, the restrained palette - there's a reason her popularity continues to endure.
For this release Holo receives a thousand yen price bump, but that still brings her in at a very reasonable ¥6,800. She'll be arriving in homes this July, and if you're a new collector who hasn't had the chance to grab her yet, I'd strongly recommend it.

Senran Kagura Niitengos part of 3DS pre-order bundle
I've never really liked figures getting bundled in with deluxe versions of games, but it looks like they're pretty much here to stay, especially in Japan. I say that because yet another game — Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson for the Nintendo 3DS — is on board the figure bundling train. This time, it's a series of Niitengos from Toy's Works that will be a part of Senran Kagura 2's Nyu Nyu DX Edition. The five figures bundled in with the game's deluxe edition will be of Homura, Yomi, Hikage, Mirai and Haruka, along with a drama CD, soundtrack CD and drama CD, all inside an exclusive box.
Senran Kagura 2 comes out for the 3DS in Japan on August 7 and you can watch the full trailer on YouTube. Anyone considering plunking down the ¥10,810 for the deluxe bundle?

Pre-orders open for NECA's Booker; priced at less than Infinity
If you sometimes felt you were living in a parallel dimension where collectibles of enemies in a popular video game were released before that game's protagonist, you'll be happy to know that time-lines are being restored with pre-orders for NECA's BioShock Infinite Booker.
Booker (last seen at Toy Fair) may have lagged behind the pack a little (Elizabeth, one of the Boys of Silence, the Columbia Concept statue, and the Washington Motorized Patriot have already been released; additionally a Ben Franklin Motorized Patriot is slated to release in May), but it looks like the wait was worth it as NECA's Booker is looking pretty good. While I'm a little concerned that the jointing won't offer a lot of movement, the sculpt and paintwork both look great so he'll at least good in more vanilla poses. The figure will will include a Sky-Hook (the iconic BioShock Infinite weapon/traveling device, not to be confused with the Prince Xizor's base in Shadows of the Empire) and a shotgun. Although the Murder of Crows Vigor was shown at Toy Fair, NECA tweeted that the accessory probably won't be included.
NECA's BioShock Infinite Booker can be pre-ordered for US$20 (his MSRP is listed as US$25) and is slated to ship around July.
