That didn't take too long. When the announcement came that a S.H. Figuarts Sailor Moon was on the way, the first question that came to many minds was what would happen with the other Sailor Scouts/Senshi. Those questions look to be answered with the unveiling of a prototype of an S.H. Figuarts of Sailor Mercury at the Sofmap shop in Akiba.
There are no concrete details as to when or even if Mercury will be released. Given the sales from Sailor Moon, though, I'd imagine that details on a release will eventually make their way out. Hopefully, they will be sooner rather than later.

A tweet appeared yesterday afternoon on the ESC-Toy feed that I think many of you will be excited (or at least greatly curious) about. It contained a teaser image bearing the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children logo and an outline of Cloud Strife from the back with the words "Erick Scarecrow custom Cloud Soldier & ????" The tweet mentioned that the figure was confirmed but without a definitive release date. I can't help but wonder who the question marks represent. My guess would be Sephiroth. What do you guys think?
Erick made a custom Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII-2 a while back and I wonder if Cloud will be handled the same way, by which I mean, with what looks like an official figure that he repaints rather than a brand new sculpt. Until we get more information, I guess we will just have to wait and be left to our imagination.
"The "New Recruits" color was chosen as an alternative to the neons and brightness of the previous OMFG releases. The "New Recruits" packs contain all 5 OMFG Series 2 characters (SHIRTLE, GRIMM GOURD, CRY-BORG, CUDDLEHARD, & PUKE KNIGHT) sealed in package with header art by Rufus."
"…over the course of 3 weeks I sculpted this bad boy and saved the finishing for the 3 days of my demo where (I) painted up this bad boy and attached some "real" antlers. The exhibit will be up until June 2nd and shortly after this guy will be available in my shop for $1000 or if you're interested just send me an email(Shadoedelgado@gmail.com) if you're interested. first come first serve.(Photos by Jonathan Guffain @JGreds07)
This was my first completed mega and it was a blast to work on and working so large inspired me to go even bigger!" ~mentioned Shadoe.
"… there (are) 16 buddhas, (and) out of the 16 there is 4 stone chases 3 bronze chases and 1 gold chase." ~mentioned Troy.
Quick confession: I've never seen The King of Braves GaoGaiGar. I understand that it was something of a hit but, so far, I've given it a miss. However, I've long held the belief that a good design can stand on its merits (ie, independent of source material) and something about Bandai's Super Robot Chogokin Volfogg (& Big Order Room (1/4)) instantly grabbed my attention. Volfogg is a apparently a ninja robot (always a winning combination) who uses an oversized shuriken that splits into boomerang-like weapons and, I've learned, can transform into a police car. As such, I seriously need to watch this anime already.
Volfogg shares double-billing in this set with his over-sized accessory, a portion of the Big Order Room, which I imagine may provide some with an even greater incentive to get this set.
Full review after the jump.
