Hobby Japan June Issue – MegaHouse’s Sheryl Nome Preview

YESSSSS! From the latest Hobby Japan magazine, here’s a preview scan featuring the upcoming 1/8 scale figure of Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier by Megahouse.

She’s scheduled to be released in Summer 2009, retailing at a price of 7,140yen.

And it looks like she’s a cast off figure too. Tho, I like her more in her dominatrix cop outfit. She looks fantastic all nice and painted! She’s definintely on my TO-GET list, ohoho!

And looks like we’re getting more new Sheryl and Ranka figures! The prototypes look pretty awesome~

MegaHouse’s Zero and Alpha x Omega’s Villetta Nu

OHMYGOD. FINALLY. I AM SO EXCITED. From the latest Hobby Japan & scans via figure/GK, more news on the highly awaited Lelouch/Zero figure is out! (well, highly awaited on my part, that is!). I’ve been anxiously waiting more news on this figure since I last saw a preview of it from the last Hobby Japan magazine. I remember telling a fellow friend of mine back then how much I wanted this certain sculpt of Zero to be made into PVC (taken at WONFES 2008). The sculpt and pvc version are the same, but looks like they added extra stuff on the pvc version.

Anyway, this upcoming 1/8 scale figure of ‘Zero’ from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 is by MegaHouse. The figure stands at 24.5cm in height (that is pretty big). Release date and price still undecided. Can’t wait to see the colored version!

Looking at the prototype, this is by far the most amazing figure of Zero to date (besides the Zero action doll by projectBM!). The figure comes with extra accessories (like the belt and sword). The cape is removable and the head is detachable so you can replace it with the helmet. It also looks like his left hand is movable and/or replaceable, since it extends and bends as you can see in the image below.
