Kotobukiya's Ikazuchi won't torpedo your bank account
Kantai Collection's anime run ended yesterday, but don't expect a reprieve from ship girl figures anytime soon! Kotobukiya has put up their 1/8-scale figure of Ikazuchi for pre-order. Ikazuchi is part of the 6th Destroyer Division, which got a cooking-related episode dedicated to its girls.
I'm pretty ambivalent toward the character. Ikazuchi's probably the least remarkable among her sisters. But as far as the figure goes, I do like that Kotobukiya didn't go with the half-damage design. I'm just not into them, even though ecchi figures are usually in my wheelhouse.
Ikazuchi is up for pre-order for ¥9,000 and is set for an August release.

Make Yamcha useful by having a dead one on your shelf
All jokes aside, Yamcha used to be actually capable of something. Then the Saibamen came, blew him to bits, and it's been all downhill since then. You can now commemorate this moment thanks to Bandai, who have decided to release the remains of Yamcha (and metaphor for your side, pathetic life) as part of their Hayakukoi Gokuh (HG) figure line.
The figure won't be too large, made more so for gag images as featured in the header. It's a detailed figure for what it is and I'd imagine I'd have a lot of fun with this on my desk. Now here comes the annoying parts. One, it's a Premium Bandai exclusive. Two, it's going to cost 3,456¥. It's not that big of a figure and it amounts to what is an enhanced prize figure with a meme behind it. I like it, would love to have it, but I'm not paying that price plus the convenience/middleman fees on top of that.
Oh well, Yamcha. You had a good run.

First 4 Figures debuts NiGHTS as next Sega All-Star
Many people who have followed Tomopop from its infancy may know just how much the Sonic the Hedgehog series meant to me growing up, but it's much fewer and far between that I get to talk about just how important NiGHTS Into Dreams was to me as a child. I had a lot of nightmares growing up, and I liked to believe that NiGHTS would save me from the really bad ones. Not to say that it's not important now, because I darn near cried when I found out NiGHTS was getting the First 4 Figures treatment for the Sega All-Stars line. I even still have a poster from the game hanging above my bed.
As per usual with F4F we get to see both an exclusive edition that's priced at US$235, which is limited to 500 pieces and lights up, and the regular edition which is priced at US$210 and is limited to 1000 pieces. You need to put down an initial deposit of US$20 when you place your pre-order, but you'll be seeing it before you know it when the figure releases in the third quarter of 2015. NiGHTS will stand 12.5 inches tall once it's all finished, and just look at the incredible detail. Take a peek at the gallery here to get a taste of the beauty, and then head over to the First 4 Figures website to see the first of the photos.

Chewbeads newest teething accessories just might be the prettiest of the bunch. Already known for their teething necklaces and bracelets (the ones I wish I’d had when Birdie was small!), Chewbeads is expanding to include these uber-cool car seat and stroller accessories. I hear some of the beads glow in the dark, crazy right? Thanks […]

BusyBody the Quick-Pose Animator for fun and work alike
I'm definitely one of those people who find myself distracted constantly while attempting to work, whether it be while I'm writing, drawing, animating, sewing, etc. the list goes on and on. I have now found the perfect desk toy that would not only be fun to mess around with as a break from work, but it would also be incredibly helpful when I'm trying to decide on poses for drawing or sprite work.
The BusyBody will set you back just US$24.95 and comes with ten bendy figures, one mirrored turntable, and easy to follow instructions. Not only is it great for bored adults, but kids would get a great kick out of this as well - and it'd be great for getting them introduced to how animation works. The figures are made of durable rubber, and the turntable is high quality plastic, so there are no dangerous parts involved with this fun, just hours of basic entertainment at your fingertips.
Ever since I can remember I wanted to grow up to work for Walt Disney Animation (Yes kids, back when each frame was done by hand traditionally!) and this not only brings out my child at heart, but also inspires me for new work. This transcends all generations of animation. I officially can't wait to get my hands on this and put it to good use!
