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

TY for the info, Eva =D. I will ask the status of my item right away. If Kidnemo still didn't get their shipments or if I dont get any reply from them at all as usual, then I would ask them to cancel my order.

BTW, do you know how much the shipping costs for the Hayate PVC in HLJ?

[Evangelion Xgouki]

I really wouldn't know. Usually I order model kits and some smaller figures from HLJ. Hayate is a lot bigger than my usual stuff, lol. The latest thing I ordered was a model kit that cost me 1380 yen to ship.

[Silvance]

I see. Thanks for the reply. I just found out about the shipping costs in the previous page. I should've checked first before posting

[goombas]

how big is the base of the figure?

[Cynor]

I actually emailed KNC about the hayate figurine since I was wondering about the figurine and shipping too... apparently due to the delay they aren't going to be getting stock until Jan of 09, probably due to the fact that they obviously pay for bulk (slow) shipping to help cut down costs... I mean as I pointed out previously the EMS shipping from HLJ is like 50 bucks in and of itself, plus another 100 for the figure.


Personally, as much as I want my Hayate, I'll be keeping my order from KNC and hoping since I just can't pay the extreme price for shipping and the figurine from HLJ right now... and by the time I can I bet they'll be out of stock. Push comes to shove I can always hope for a re-release or finding it in a local comic shop (which sometimes has some of the rarer/out of stock figurines, not to mention the price probably will keep it on the shelf for awhile I bet). And if that all fails... well there is always ebay, I know you could find the Alter Fate all the time on it, of course how legit those were is questionable.

argh..... I had it in my head my "Signum" would show up for the Yuletide. She's not due til Jan2009.

Jeez, I hope the yen/dollar conversion improves before shipping :P

lol, I know what you mean... although I highly doubt it. Thats really put a hamper on buying figurines for me lately... It's pretty much a 1:1 lately, although at higher amounts (like the Hayate and Signum) the smaller differences of a few pennies really start showing up.

yes, the currency is bad...so bad that i cancelled my order of Hayate. Orginally, when i pre-ordered from the store, it was around $150 for the figurine, but right now it sits around $200 ish, i probably would wait until the wave is settled and see if I can catch one with my rod

@post above: OH My Goodness, if only those 2 are posters, i'll risk my life for it!

Great find, thanks!!!

Cookie for you! XD


*dies once from excitement*

*revives*

The preview is great! Good showcase of what they can do.

Okay, comments...

Hayate:

Spoiler for Hayate:

• I couldn't decide whether to laugh or facepalm at the fact that she's using the Tome of the Night Sky to whack the opponent in her melee attacks. Err, hello? Schwertkreuz has the blades that hurt, you know? XD
• Her basic ranged attack is Bloody Dagger, which is quite fitting. It also seems like it explodes when the dagger shot is a charged one, which is a bonus!
• Atem des Eises turned out as I expected, tracking the enemy and then a large ice explosion much like that of Naga's ice attack.
• Hraesvelgr, on the other hand, is looking like a quad-buster. O_O Since the one in the video didn't get it fully charged, I assume a full-charged one fires from the center circle too.
• Diabolic Emission looks awesome! Turns out she does it like Reinforce, who cast it and even detonated it near her. And wow, that explosion looks like it could rival Lina's Dragon Slave in blast radius! @_@
• And then at the end of the video... Triple Breaker...

Vita:

Spoiler for Vita:

• Vita's looking every bit of a fitting match for those who want to kick Ruru's butt in melee!
• Her basic attacks are pretty much expected. But her finisher turns out to be a one-two hitter. Well, no complaints here. Who would say no to whacking your opponent with a giant hammer the size of a building?! XD
• I do wish they showed us her hat getting taken off, though. Maybe if her health bar decreases to the point where she can use Magic Burst 2, the hat would be gone?XD

Nanoha[StS]:

Spoiler for Nanoha:

• O____O
• She's... definitely appearing more fearsome than any other character I've yet to see in MBA. Almost all her attacks seem so... Overwhelming... @_@
• Her Charge+Melee turns out like the melee charging attacks from the melee-oriented characters. And to think Nanoha is a ranged-type...O_O
• Her Divine Buster looks a lot better too. And then actually being allowed to use the Blaster System up to level 3 normally...O_O
• HOLY HELL STARLIGHT BREAKER X5 BREAK SHOOT?!?! @____________________@ That's it! She should be the final boss character instead now!!! @____@
• Sadly, seems like we won't be getting her normal Barrier Jacket as shown in StrikerS and in her character portrait. Well, not really anything major...
• At the end... She has the last say... And it's quite fitting... Since my head was overheated with excitement after seeing the Triple Breaker, and then Nanoha goes:
  
  Nanoha: "Sukashi, atama hiyasou ka...?"
  
  Me:

Well, seems like Hayate will be my favorite to use there as expected. I can hardly wait for next year!!! (I won't be able to get that expansion till next year....)

At least there's a great deal to look forward to this coming winter holiday.

The second volume cover is made of so much awesome, I can barely begin to count!

Hears to hoping that someone will scan it. <_<

[DragonBladeX]

I finally picked my Hayate from the hobby shop I ordered it from. The box is huge and the shop assistant showed me the box they came in, only 4 Hayate-chan boxes fit in those shipping boxes . Shipping costs is going to kill for individual orders, especially for courier services.

Spoiler for Out of the box & on display:

Her staff has a tendency to drop off if I let her hold it too close to the end, I shifted it til it was stable as in the photo. Anyone else has this problem?

Regarding that announcement picture from 2chan earlier, here are some shots from Hobby Japan.

Spoiler for Nanoha Figure:

I might actually get this one if Alter does not make an announcement about Nanoha soon.

Spoiler for More Nanoha shots:

Spoiler for Another Nanoha shot:

Spoiler for Hayate Figure:

I'll reserve my opinions on this Hayate figure til I see her colored.

Spoiler for More Hayate shot:

Spoiler for Fate-chan is currently being designed!:

Pricing has yet to be announced and it would be available sometime this spring 2009. I still have no idea which company is making it though.

[Ottocycle]

@ DragonBladeX's above post:
Those thinking about probably getting those if Alter's are not gettable, I'm sorry to quash your hopes. The kits will be made by Volks', and they will be resin kits(read: massively expensive).

Reference post

[IchiKyo]

Another Hayate Figure to be designed *_*

[goombas]

i so hope the new one won't be DEAD expensive like the last one.

[IchiKyo]

As humbug23 said, it's Volks that made those 2 (3 since Fate is currently making) resins kits and they will be : "(read: massively expensive)."

[goombas]

▄█▀ █▬█ █ ▀█▀!

and i'm still saving up for hayate Alter too. T_T

[Shikimori Kazuki]

i hope Alter makes a Nanoha or Fate figurine in the next line-up, really i don't see why would they would consider making Signum, perhaps there are fans for Signum, just as much as Nanoha and Fate? but still I do not see why they wouldn't make a Nanoha or Fate figurines when they made a Hayate one, this is what i am confuse about.

Alter has already made a Fate figurine... it was the first in the line-up too, by the same designer of the current Hayate one. Unless you mean Adult-Fate?

Cheers.

yup, i am refering to Adult Nanoha and Adult Fate =). I know Good Smile Company made her but I prefer they make an adult Nanoha in her combat uniform rather than the non-combat uniform
