Shiva and Odin Featured in Sankaku Complex

After Sankaku Complex's really interesting article on the Third-Generation Console Yaoi manga (which I read over and over again XDD), they next featured Square-Enix's pride of 2010 ~

WOOT! :D



Shiva's Bike on Gestalt Mode.
Transformable into 38-cm tall sisters namely Styria and Nyx.
Snow Villiers not included.


Odin on Gestalt Mode (or more appropriately "Sleipnir" Mode)
Transformable into a 43-cm behemoth with two big Zantetsuken.
Lightning not included.


Sankaku definitely makes it more worthwhile to get them...even for "the price." :D

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Play Arts Kai GET!

I have nothing much to say after this except ROY MUSTANG FOR THE WIN!

QBSC Gekitou Pack GET!

The Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos Gekitou Pack was all worth the wait.

It contains a nice artbox featuring at least all the characters you can play as and fight (except for Shizuka which took the place of Nyx), a CD filled with innuendo (Clicky! XDDD), the Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos UMD for PSP and those who pre-ordered it in advance gets a A5-sized Visual Book (Scans to follow. For now, here are some PSP CGs).

Here are some pictures of Cute in "S Mode" for now. Sorry if I can't shift her to "M Mode" due to Figmas being more notoriously fragile than Revoltechs.


"Watashi datte, Kuinzubureido no bitoushi nanda kara!"

Square-Enix Blog on Wanzer Zenith

Square-Enix Figure blog posted a new entry about their Front Mission Play Arts Kai Wanzer Zenith.

===

Everyone, today we present you the mechanic favorite production brigade DY. Everyone, you haven't forgotten? Me, I haven't. This is what I mean.



It burns (It sprouts?) If we can convey the follow-up story of development in the next few days, it's good. We shall increase our perseverance with this.

--- End of Blog Entry ---


Even if I disliked that thing so much, I must say, it looks really good on a Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Base 001.

At this point, their New Item Gallery and Line-up page are yet to be opened.
Again, let Tsuki-board serve as the temporary (or probably better :D) source of information for their figure line-up.

Until the next stalking/snooping of the Play Arts Kai Blog. XD

Play Arts Kai Website Impressions

Square-Enix has FINALLY launched an actual website for their esteemed Play Arts Kai toyline after being heckled enough by the well-organized websites of Kaiyodo Revoltech and Max Factory's Figma.

Clicky ~
http://www.square-enix-shop.com/jp/concept.html

Deus Ex Escathon's resident Play Arts Maniac, Cain Nox; will be providing some insights right here and right now.

The top page has an impressive flash animation of the Kai Calligraphy.

Concept

Combining better play value and poseability in this new form of Play Arts Action Figures, Play Arts Kai.

Double joint was adopted and thereby expanding the movable range. Furthermore, along with the new design of movable joint is the adoptation of soft plastic for some parts, thereby achieving better poseability.

From this, it is now possible for closer posing in play. In addition, not only the movable range, it also added a better and bigger scale in order to improve the expression of the material, endeavored to the thoroughness of the character's likeness and detail.

Furthermore, more accessories are added for more play value. You can now play up to your heart's content.


Some of the pics in their Figure blog

Shiva Sisters' Bike on Yuri...erm, Gestalt Mode Transformation.
With impressive pillar stand made of translucent plastic that's "sure" to hold their heavy wheel-infused heads
