Alphard PVC pictures

More pictures of Alphard figure out! All of them look stunning and I can only guess when will they be ready for the market, given all the recent troubles Good Smile has with deadlines etc.

The sculpt looks really good and this is just a 1st print, meaning the final sculpt and finish will probably be slightly different/better. The slight bit of problem I see in the hair area will probably be fixed by then. The base is top-notch like most of their current figure releases pre-orders. I wonder how much effort it takes to produce them in the factories.

Overall, another affirmation of my decision to go ahead with the pre-order of the Alphard PVC figure and I know it will pair up sweetly with Canaan’s PVC figure. Just look at their combined bases!

Pre-order for Alphard Nendoroid Out

AlternateSam — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:21:07 +0000

Alphard nendoroid is out for pre-order. Goodsmile is apparently not letting up its hunt for our wallets…

To add to the multitudes of figures released or will be released by Goodsmile in the coming months, Alphard from Type-Moon’s Canaan join the ranks of the nendoroids.

Alphard comes with a grinning face, a calm face and an angry face, presumably when she’s fighting with Canaan. She has a revolver as well, similar to the Canaan nendoroid.

I say she does look great when paired up with the Canaan nendoroid in a battle scene. A must get if you already ordered the Canaan nendoroid. Otherwise, it boils down to whether you like the character design or not. Canaan is a pretty good, action-packed anime but its essentially Type-Moon to the core. Some people will like it while others can’t even sit through 15 minutes of it.

Preorders are open at Hobbysearch here and at HLJ here.

Nendoroid Alphard
Release Date: Jan 2010
Scale: Not to scale – approximately 100mm in height
Price: 3,500 Yen

Canaan Figma

AlternateSam — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:57:13 +0000

Max Factory has opened the Canaan figma for pre-orders.

She comes with a gun and sugar sticks, same as the nendoroid. Three expressions are included – a normal face, a smiling face as well as an angry face. The included pistol is fitted with a sliding mechanism to recreate the scenes when Canaan reloads her weapon. Additional parts are included and can be attached to the pistol to give the effect of a firing pistol. A poseable figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Personally, I think this will look great on the di:stage…you can have a mass shootout with Canaan, Makina Hohimura and maybe even Shana with her flame sword.

You can pre-orders yours at HobbySearch today.

Canaan 1/8 PVC and Nendoroid

AlternateSam — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:03:53 +0000

Goodsmile has opened pre-orders for the 1/8 Canaan PVC and Nendoroid. The character is from the Type-Moon’s anime of the same name. All the pictures are in here!

The base on the 1/8 PVC is fantastic and it sure looks like more and more figures are moving into a sculpted base instead of a generic plastic circle one as in the past. A step in the right direction as it makes an absolute statement piece on your shelf or display case.

The dynamic modeling of the PVC makes it stand out, with Canaan diving one direction and her cloak going the other as if she was jumping out from the side. Her pose with her hands fixed firmly on her handgun shows her displaying ultimate concentration as she sets her sight on her target in front.

On the other hand, �the Canaan Nendoroid shows her concentrating in a cute chibi sort of way. Same attire and roughly the same pose, but in the super-deformed modelling which GoodSmile knows we can’t resist. She comes with a leather sling-on holster as well as the sugar candy stick which she loves.
