Tomopop Review: AmiAmi's Shinonono Houki
It has always bemused me why <IS> Infinite Stratos hasn't really seen many figures of the girls in their actual <IS> suits. We've had them in their school uniform, swimsuits, pilot suits and even the girls wearing animal ears which was only shown in one episode of the (awful) second season of the anime!
When it comes to the <IS> figures, we've had the AGP line but that's about it... until now! Rather than getting an established company taking in the challenge, instead we have a newcomer in the shape of AmiAmi, in their first major figure release, to give us the first figure of the <IS> suit and who we get is Shinonono Houki in Akatsubaki! There's been a bit of history with this figure. She was first shown two years ago with pre-orders opening soon after. She was initially meant to be released in late 2013 but delays meant that she only got a release recently and her initial price was... severe. However, it was lowered when she was finally released but the price is still somewhat on the high side.
So, we have a figure which has been beset with delays (making Bayonetta seem punctual), with a high pricetag and by a manufacturer with little history. Not exactly a recipe for instant success! But, not only did AmiAmi rise up to the challenge but they also laid the gauntlet down to all the big figure makers with their first release!

Mezco Toyz Announces 6-inch Gus Fring Action Figure from ‘Breaking Bad’
When Mezco Toyz first secured the Breaking Bad license and announced they would be making action figures, I was ecstatic inside. Though, as you have probably noticed, Mezco only made a couple of figures to start off with (Walter White, Heisenberg, and Jessie Pinkman) and have since re-released all of the sculpts as color variants. Today, Mezco […]

Take tea with these Nendoroid Hiei preorders
The unstoppable Kantai Collection merchandising juggernaut rolls onwards, and though I've long since given up attempting to identify the individual characters, I know a cute Nendoroid when I see one. That's exactly what Hiei, the latest in the range is.
It helps that she's perhaps a little more modestly dressed than many of her counterparts, and Good Smile Company have smartly scaled her rather elaborate design down to Nendoroid scale, complete with gigantic backpack mounted guns. The winking grinning face is adorable and I'm a big fan of the effect parts, which we get surprisingly rarely with Nendoroids. Really though discussion of accessories has to start and end with the amazing tea set, which I can see having uses far, far beyond this one figure.
It's all an attractive package, and one that can be yours this November for the not too unreasonable price of ¥4,800. Hit the links below to pre-order.
