Nanoha Merchandise (Figurines, Artbooks, OSTs, etc.)

[OrderNorChaos]

hmm, I just gotten an e-mail from cd-japan stating that Hayate is delayed from Nov 10 to Dec 7, anyone else experiencing this from other sites ?

I just gotten the StrikerS Soundstage X, but there is a another date on the cover, which I assume is the date of the re-print. It states 2009.4.28. Is it me or is that date (not the year) rather familiar ?

Alter's website confirms a shipping of Hayate on the 26/11. So it may spill over into December for some local/online stores.

Edit: @ C.A.

If the 2 websites I mentioned are not enough to confirm a release for Figma Fate, this should put it to bed for good.

FEITO-CHAN FOR EVERYBODY



And if anyone is kind enough to confirm for me, in the figma blog above, it mentions that Hayate Figma shipping date should be announced soon (sometime in mid-November?) And in the early part of 2009, we collectors should be able to complete the StrikeS trio?

[C.A.]

The reason I get from my favourite lady tencho, says that her sources, the manufacturers are encountering problems due to the current economic situation. Several manufacturers and factories are going down and thus can't keep up with the production rates.

This time I won't miss Feito-chan and I'll be getting both Hayate-chans.

are those the new models?

If new means new models, then no.

This is a rerelease of Feito-chan's extremely popular Figma, its a must have.

I'm glad they're re-releasing the Fate figma, just pre-ordered mine.

Also, looks like Alter might complete the Nanoha cast, here's Fate in the works.

I really hope there's a Nanoha figure in Excellion mode on the way.

The Nanoha Merchandise gods are either kind or they are out to get my cash

This Fate was shown in the last I think wonderfest ..... The next fate in shin Sonic form .... I will get this and also wanted them to do a Nanoha in Excellion mode also to match up with this .... :P

While I'm certainly happy that Hayate and the Knights are finally getting the mass figurine treatment, one has to wonder at times just why now? I mean all throughout StrikerS they really stuck me more as side chars, important ones, but side none the less. Heck, it really feels almost like she did more in A's when she was in a wheelchair for crying out loud then in StrikerS.... and in A's she was at least main char.

Oh well, it is what it is and I guess we should just be happy some really good ones are finally coming our way.

Ordered offa HLJ, and you are right, she did more in a wheelchair in A's than in StrikerS.

In StrikerS she was sitting in a regular chair and doing office work. =_='''

Well, I can somewhat guess the reason for figma Hayate at least, its just to complete the trio of StrikeS, given they they already released those of Nanoha and Fate. Although sadly figma Nanoha isn't doing as well in sales as her friend Fate (Hint, hint, perhaps a Excellion mode would help?). Naturally, I am waiting to see Max Factory would be willing to pick up the other characters from StrikeS, just for completion sake. Though, I would agree that she sorta became a minor character in StrikeS.

As for Alter's Hayate, its anyone's guess. But she looks the best though, for displaying wise.

[Evangelion Xgouki]

Hmmm...from the pics it looks like Figma Hayate comes with:

1x Schwertkreuz
1x hat
1x black wings (connected by clear sections to her back to make it appear to be floating)
2x Tome of the Night Sky (opened/closed)
2x face pieces
1x flexible stand
8(?)x swappable hands (based on the hands provided for other Figmas)

For Figma, why not the trio for A's though? I mean didn't they do some Nanoha stuff in A's? From the moment they met they really became a trio, and then come the end when she fights along with them...

Alter is a bit easier to explain, well for the adult... They are doing a lot of the other chars including Reinforce, Signum, and Vita for the Knights... then a planned Teana, and of course the ever famous Fate and a Nanoha from around A's. But no (young) Hayate from them before.

Well, if you would see that Hayate did not have much of a changed from A's to strikerS. And my guess is that all they need is to make one hayate in the strikerS form to compensate for the missing A's Hayate...
