Tonner 2014 Mainline Release
It has become a meme.
On to the Tonner release...
Here's Sheldon!

| SHELDON COOPER - First Edition $149.99 |
Here is a screen shot of the entire new release.

The Jon, Cami and Liu Liu are nice looking dolls but their fashions, if one can call them fashion, are ignorable. And the Party Stripes Cami...seriously...was she high already when she got dressed? A short lime green skirt and striped top is not fashion or fashionable. Who the heck signed off on that doll? She should have been sold nude or as a basic in a bodysuit.
New opportunities for "Who Wears It Better" have cropped up recently.
I think the 22" American Models are lovely. I'd have to build another level onto my home to accommodate more of them. There have been many that are so gorgeous. These two come to mind immediately.
But I digress.
It's a no-brainer that a manufacturer cannot maintain the same quality of goods as prices keep rising.
Lowering the quality is not the answer.
Make it better and charge more.
Then sell the lower priced items as basics without stands, clothes or any extra doo dads.
Refine the line.
There are collectors who spend small fortunes for beautiful dolls with fabulous clothing. I'm not just talking about OOAK dolls.

Nendoroid Racing Miku 2014 packages are now available
April 1 was full of pranks, but Good Smile hid a little real news in the mix: personal sponsorship packages for Good Smile Racing's 2014 Super GT season are now available. As has become customary, that means a new Nendoroid Racing Miku is out there, and the 2014 version looks ... a little plain. It's a less flashy design than past years, but I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of it or not. Definitely don't like the "razor blade" skirt design that much, though ...
Packages range from ¥3,000 to ¥30,000, with all packages at the ¥7,000 level and above including the new Racing Miku Nendoroid. She's shipping out in October 2014, according to Good Smile Racing's webshop. What do you guys and gals think of the new Racing Miku?

S.H. Figuarts Naruto starts a hurricane of pre-orders
Bandai has quietly started taking pre-orders on their upcoming Naruto Uzumaki figure from Naruto Shippuden. I say quietly because the figure hasn't gotten much in the way of fanfare since it made a surprise debut at New York International Toy Fair 2014 back in February. After that, nothing. A few pictures here and there in the last couple weeks and then, bang, pre-orders.
And along with those pre-orders also comes solid information on just what we're getting in this figure. For starters we've got the obvious inclusion of his Rasengan, as well as five left hands, six left hands, and two kunai. Then there's the parts that I'm kinda scratching my head over. They list him as having three expressions, but there's actually a total of of four: grinning, clenched teeth, open mouth, and neutral. Bandai also lists his headband as an accessory, but it doesn't appear to be removable, I think it's actually replacements for the loose ends that they're talking about. They also list "accessory case parts" which I'm completely lost on unless his hip pouch is removable.
Other than that he's looking just as good as he did back in February. I was kinda hoping for something Kyuubi related like red eyes and fangs for one of the expressions, but I have a feeling there'll be plenty of time for that on future Naruto releases, assuming we get future Naruto releases. This release will hit in July for a pretty reasonable ¥4,000.
