What if Lego took its legendary mini-figure platform and crossed it with some of Super7’s most popular sofubi toys. That would be awesome and is the ‘What if?’ premise behind what is at this point is apparently a purely speculative, experimental project put together by Toby Dutkiewicz (creator of the...

Some noisy toys loud enough to cause hearing damage, study says
UC Irvine researchers find that some of the toys, if held close enough, can hit decibel levels similar to a chain saw. But if held 12 inches away, all the tested toys are below the danger level. That loud toy under the Christmas tree might do more than drive parents crazy.

Banpresto zeroes in on your wallet with Fate/Zero figures
What with Fate/Zero still airing, it is of course becoming attractive for figure releases. Banpresto has a few coming in early 2012 as a part of their SQ Figure series, Kyun-Chara series of figures, and general prize figures.
From the SQ Figure series there will be the Saber Fate/Zero ver. figure depicting her in her armor from the title. With so many armored Saber figures already existing, it's a little tough to get behind this version of her in the armor even if it's the "Fate/Zero" version. Look for her to be available in May, 2012. Of similar format, Banpresto will also have suited Saber and Irisviel von Einzbern as a part of their DX Figure series. This is the first time we are seeing someone that's not Saber from Fate/Zero get produced as a figure. Generic poses for the two but being that they would be a part of Banpresto's prize figure series means they shouldn't be much to begin with. No word on their release date.
From the serious to the cute, Banpresto will also have the Fate/Zero characters as a part of their Chibi Kyun-Chara series. These super deformed figures will include suited Saber, Irisviel, and little Rin. Normally you can't go wrong with cute but these figures feel like they have no energy coming from them. Again, no word on the release of these figures.
See how these are all the cheaper figures, I guess it's still something for those who prefer the budget figures. I still feel they all could have offered a little more in their poses to build interest. But then, I can't really remember many Banpresto prize and trading figures that have wowed me. What do you think? Ho-hum and wait for someone else or do you see a future purchase?

Alter's Hanna Marseille revealed
Alter continues their Strike Witches lineup with a newly revealed 1/8-scale figure of Hanna Marseille (or Hanna-Justina Warja Rosalind Sieglinde Marseille if you're not into the brevity thing). Hanna appeared for an episode in Strike Witches 2 as Erica Hartmann's rival, and also has her own doujinshi. Due to her skill as a witch, she is known as the "Star of Africa."
While I'm not so high on the character - I never like hotshot pilots unless their callsigns are Maverick or Starbuck - I am very impressed by the prototype. Thanks in part to her design, Hanna has a little more detail than the other Strike Witches released so far. A major factor in the figure's attractiveness for me is her MG 34 with the drum magazine. You just can't beat a pantsless girl flying around with a machine gun!
