SHF Daft Punk make it better in new images
I'm really glad that I can finally talk about S.H. Figuarts Daft Punk. The pair of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo will see release this November and will no doubt be at the top of many want lists. We get a bit of a closer look at the duo today, seeing them off on their own.
One of the features that people would like to see are light-up helmets, but sadly that won't be possible with this release. However, what will be featured are the reflections within the helmet, as is typically seen in all of the Kamen Rider releases. These are the figures that weren't expected but always wanted. As many of you said before, we just hope that this leads to something more. At the very least of these, Tron: Legacy variants are a must.
There's still no info as to how much you'll pay for the duo. They're officially due out in November, so you'll just have an album to tide you over. I guess I can manage with that. There's also the gallery and Bluefin / Tamashii Nations' Facebook where you can check out the latest images.

Hasbro adds the Misfits to its Jem and the Holograms line
From the 1980s animated series, Jem and The Holograms, through Hasbro and Integrity Toys Inc, comes The Misfits. The rivals to Jem and her band, the Misfits are Phillis "Pizzazz" Garbor, Roxanne "Roxy" Pelligrini, and Mary "Stormer" Phillips. Now I want a cool '80s name too!
These newest additions to the Jem and The Holograms series of high-end adult collectible dolls are fully articulated, 12 inches tall, and made of vinyl. Their hair is even rooted with hand-applied eyelashes … I'm not even sure what that means, but wow that sounds detailed!
Each doll comes in their own signature look with their musical instruments, alternate hands, doll stand, and other cool accessories. At US$119 each, these will be available in late May through select Integrity Toys dealers.

Capricorn Shura is next release from Bandai's Saint Seiya
Coming from Bandai's Saint Cloth Myth EX line, Capricorn Shura is now available for pre-order. From the Saint Seiya series, just like Aries Mu, this 7-inch-tall figure has been redone to offer better articulation, expressions, and accessories.
Included with Capricorn Shura is three interchangeable face parts, four different hand parts, and even two mask parts only seen in the manga. As always with the deluxe figures in this line, they sell out fast, so Capricorn Shura will be no different.
Pre-order officially began on April 3 with the price listed as US$72.99. Fans of this PVC figure can expect to see it in July.

April Toy Drop from ESCtoy Erick Scarecrow will be dropping...
April Toy Drop from ESCtoy
Erick Scarecrow will be dropping three new resin toys this Saturday at 11 EST. The vio colorway of Erick’s Soopa Maria figure is a one-off with a very Spring-ish pastel scheme. The corona colorway of Turtum Micci is another one-off with a warm gradient. My favorite is the electric cotton candy version of Chap-Lynn which has a mix of transparent resin colors. The subtle purple stripes at the top are especially nice. This one’s limited to 12 pieces. Be here at 11 on Saturday to grab one of these.
