A couple of days ago there was news that one of my favorite Idolm@sters was coming up for order. We didn’t know for sure or not if Hibiki would be an exclusive but sadly, yes, yes she is. Not only is she an exclusive but she is also joined in exclusivity by another one of the girls in Takane. They both have an August release and unfortunately you are going to have to go through a proxy like Mioboutique to get either of them. This also unfortunately means payment up front so be prepared to dish out around 10k yen each for the figures.
BowtieCat is once again happy to bring you our weekly list of Import Gaming toy pre-orders. Once again we’re blessed with a small week of figures but a lot of that is that we are coming up on Wonder Festival which slows figures down a little bit. With that out of the way let’s go over what we have for this week.
- Megahouse’s 4th Set of Persona 4 Keychains - 5400 Yen Retail - Estimated May Release (Gallery)
- Penguin Parade’s Petanko Marisa Kirisame - 2625 Yen Retail - Estimated April Release
- Penguin Parade’s Petanko Reimu Hakurei - 2625 Yen Retail - Estimated April Release (Gallery and info on both Petanko Figures)
- Megahouse’s Idolm@ster Iori Minase - 7200 Yen Retail - Estimated June Release (Full Gallery and Info)
That’s all for this week. Come back next week for more and be sure to stick around though the weekend for coverage from Wonder Festival in Japan and the New York Toy Fair.
