No ifs, plenty of butts - Alter's Asuka now up for pre-order
We got a rather lovely preview gallery of her last week, and now as promised Alter's latest take on the feisty Asuka Langley Shikinami is now up for orders at all good stores. Just as a reminder, you'll get her decked out in cat cap, with the option to remove headgear and replace her arm along with it.
Asuka is priced at a hefty ¥10,800, which is a lot of money, but about par for the course for a top-end Alter figure these days. It's also worth noting she's 1/7 scale, coming in at a generous 230mm tall. If you want her, hit those pre-order links below and start camping by your door for her arrival this September.

Luckily, you'll have more than seven days to pre-order S.H. Figuarts Sadako from The Ring
Last week Bandai showed us official photos of their S.H. Figuarts Sadako from the Japanese horror, The Ring. It was great because before we had no idea what she was going to come with, so there were just wishes. Still, that wishing paid off because we found out that Sadako will be coming with a TV.
Sure, I also wanted her to come with her well, but I can agree that the TV is a much better accessory. After getting that official preview last week, pre-orders are now open. This Sadako figure will measure close to six inches and be fully articulated so she can creepily crawl towards you.
Along with coming with a TV, Sadako will also come with additional hand parts, lower body parts, and her cursed video tape. Coming out in July, S.H. Figuarts Sadako will be¥4,200.

Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Deluxe Case K – Ivan If You Missed Him
Prints by VAN ORTON from K.Olin tribu
Currently available to purchase on www.artandtoys.com are these prints from Italian-based twin brother design team (who go by the nom de guerre) "Van Orton Design", who have created a series of stained-glass style movie posters. Priced at 39,00 € each, in 3 different sizes, limited to 50pcs each.
"Digitally composing the images using iconic characters and scenes from each film, Van Orton replaced saints and religious iconography with pop-culture standards like the Terminator, The Joker and Jack Burton, juxtaposing them with the time-honored (and increasingly disappearing) art of stained glass sectioning."

Bridget - Nurse For All Seasons! Now She's Prepared!
"Bridget - Nurse For All Seasons!" is one of the members of the "Nurse Series" of cloth dolls and they are all getting ready for the "Emergency Worldwide Disaster Drill."
You see, you can never be prepared enough for a natural disaster or disaster of any nature - even a global one. So, they like nurses all over the world are all getting ready to do whatever is required of their nursing position during the drill.
They all took an oath to save lives and that is what they all intend to do. But, they and we all know that their jobs aren't just about saving lives - their jobs also entail caring for the patients, encouraging the patients, and teaching the patients how to care for themselves.
Nurses are vital to the health care profession and anyone who has even been in a hospital anywhere in the world knows that hospitals cannot function with nurses. They are the heart and soul of any hospital and heart and soul of the health care profession.
So, the nurses are getting ready. I have no doubt they will be. No matter where in the world they are.
"Bridget - Nurse For All Seasons!" is a 15" country cloth nurse doll from France. She has a muslin body and embroidered face with black satin stitched eyes, embroidered and raised nose, and an embroidered mouth. Her eyebrows are embroidered as are her eyelashes and she has bright pink blushed cheeks. Her boots are cross-laced.
Bridget has a mass of dark brown curly yarn hair glued all over her head. Her nurse's cap is and old-fashioned lined European cap, has a red cross on the front, a lined flap in the back, and is attached to the top and back of her head.
She is wearing fringed bloomers that are gathered at the waist and legs. Her pink striped nurse's uniform is gathered at the waist, wrists, and gathered at the neck.
Her white nurse's apron has a front bib, cross straps, and embroidered waistband that is tied in a knot in the back. She is carrying a pile of sheets and blankets.
"Bridget - Nurse For All Seasons!" is the nursing supervisor for all the candy stripers and has her job cut out for her.
You see, no matter how prepared you are she knows that you can never have enough sterile and clean linens. So, she is stock-piling as many as she can in order to be thoroughly prepared.
However, Bridget has been through this drill thousands of times and been through thousands of real disasters and knows that you are never totally prepared. She's going to try and do her best and teach all the "candy stripers" what they should be doing.
Bridget is really good at her job so we have no doubt she will be prepared.
