Shinobu flashes us a charming smile as she holds her Nichirin Blade, her unworldly beauty concealing her dangerous aura. Her lightly waving sleeves are finely detailed with their butterfly-like patterns, and gorgeous gradations of pink and green. Her black uniform is also nicely detailed with wrinkles to match her movement, and even her belt has a texture to separate it from the other materials of her outfit. Shinobu's base has a water ripple effect, and the butterflies soaring around her recreate the atmosphere from the show. Be sure to add this formidable Hashira to your collection!

Alter presents the newest addition to their 1/7 scale figure line-up from "Sword Art Online" - Yuuki! Her skill in the sword is highlighted in all angles - the detailing of this figure showing off her beautiful sword-wielding pose. Despite that, her expression is kind and a bit curious. Her clothes and hair are sculpted in a way that emphasizes a kinetic sense of movement. The sword is finished with a metallic paint job, allowing it to reflect light from where Yuuki is displayed. Order her for your collection today!

Awesome news for Natsume Yuujinchou fans! Alter is re-releasing  their 1/8th scale of Natsume Takashi which was the very first figure in their Altair line, but with new sculpting!

If you compare the new renewal edition to the first edition figure, you can see that they've re-sculpted and re-painted the figure to be visually closer to his anime appearance.(picture on the left is the new renewal edition for 2014, picture on the right is the first edition originally released in 2010)

This is great news for those who missed out on getting it when it was first released, but even if you have the first edition the renewal one is nice enough that it might make you consider getting this one too.

Full figure specs and details can be found on Alter's official site here.

If you're in Japan, you can order or get one in store at Amimi or Animate.

If you are overseas, it's up for preorder at official retailers such as Amiami and Hobbysearch.

Kneesocks figure - Details

So that odd obsession with taking pictures of my figures and such has yet to stop. And I really fucking love this Kneesocks from Alter. The amount of detail that goes into it is beyond impressive, and I still can't get over the fact that I managed to grab it up for only $80 when it's going for $130-$150 everywhere I look.
