5 Neat Things to Pre-Order This Week (Oct. 2)
posted on by Bamboo Dong
1. Nendoroid Amy from Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
Who can resist the charms of this adorable Nendoroid Amy from Gargantia? The figure comes with two different smiling faces, and a few fun accessories-- her kite glider, Ledo's Hideauze ocarina, and her pet squirrel Grace.
The figure retails for 4,800 yen (~$48) and comes out March 2014.
2. Ultraman x Red Monkey Watch!
In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Tsuburaya Productions, a Japanese special effects studio founded in 1963 that worked on classic shows like Ultraman, LA-based Red Monkey Designs is creating a special watch in collaboration with Ultraman.
Check out more pictures here.
The watch is selling for 47,250 yen ($485) and is set to ship January 2014.
3. Risotto Nero from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
I mean, just look at it. If you're a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fan, and especially if you're a Risotto Nero fan, you should check out this figure, which is the latest in Di molto bene's "Statue Legend" line. It goes without saying that if it's another JoJo character you're looking for, a Statue Legend probably exists.
This particular one can be had for around 4,780 yen ($48), and is expected to ship mid-January 2014.
This isn't the key to Eren's dad's basement, but this is almost cooler, for those who want a unique keychain. This zinc alloy key ring features the shield of Survey Corps, as well as a key-shaped charm that features the shield of the Training Corps and a relief of one of the cities. And of course, a titan.
This key ring can be had for 1,180 yen ($12) and is expected to ship in late November.
5. Chun Li 1/7 Scale Street Fighter Bishoujo Figure
Alright, I've been staring at this beauty for a while now, and couldn't resist talking about it anymore.
Over the past few years, Kotobukiya's been releasing an amazing line of "Bishoujo" figures, and Chun Li's finally getting the treatment. Beautifully sculpted (and look at those muscles!!!), this figure screams strength and power.
The figure is selling for 6,650 yen ($68) and will be released late-January 2014.
