Who are those people? How do you confuse a coyote with a prairie chicken?

>>2185
..some random figure site. I guess they haven't been reading the Witches' profiles. In fairness, it's not really that obvious at first glance. Until you see Hanna's tail that is.

Looks pretty good at least.

Now with paint

(why do we have 2 figure threads anyways)

>>2404
Try not to think too hard about it. Anyway Marseille looks pretty decent, all painted up. Though it's to be expected, being Alter and all.

>>2404
Any other pics of the pre-production Hanna?

Another unidentified figure at wonfes ... thread chatter seems to suggest Volks?

>>2413
Likely made by Volks. The VS logo is a clue. And yeah, Hanna again? I wish volks chose another witch. Amaki Suwa for example. We seen her so many times yet there's still no decent figure of her.

>>2414
How major of a character is she anyways, besides that one game?

>>2417
It's just a random suggestion. I mean there will be two versions of Marseille already, the Alter PVC & a Garage kit of sorts. Perhaps other manufacturers could consider the other witches too.

Are the Volks Fuso witch figs still set to release this month?

For those entirely uneducated in these models, what are differences (if any) between the 'Alter' and 'Volks' Hanna models beyond relatively obvious stuff like the pose? I'd be slightly confused if both were shooting for the same market...

>>2653
I'm guessing quality (esp. paintjob). It seems that the quality of Volks' PVC figures is inconsistent, while Alter's are consistent.

As in from character to character, or from piece to individual piece?

>>2663
From piece to piece--quality control isn't great, but if you read some reviews of recent releases, it seems to have improved somewhat.

Anyone have Alter's Eila on the way?

Production version pic. I wish mine would arrive now.

>>2904
The detail they put into the strikers is at least half the reason I'd get any particular witch fig.

>>2908
Yeah, I love all of Alter's Witches. Can't wait to see how the last 4 will look, and I really hope Trude isn't delayed any further..

>>2911
It's likely to be delayed at least another month, considering Alter's release Track Record.

Bah. Why must my favouritest of witches come out when I am at my brokest?

Sadface.

Preorder starts soon.

These AGP figures look promising. Preorders opened today.

>>3225
Does anyone know if they'll be at the same scale as the figmas? I can't get a hold of a yoshika figma, there isn't a sakamoto figma, and these do look pretty damn nice.

>>3232
These are 115mm, which is a bit shorter than 125mm Figmas.

http://tamashii.jp/special/agp/sw/index.html
Are they possibly planning to do the whole 501st..?

>>3235
Hmm...interesting. Will have to keep my eye on that.

Looks like it. I don't know why they'd do chars from all sorts of different groups.

>>3236
And in my currently tired state, I completely did not notice the big 501st logo at the bottom of the page.

So, yeah, definitely looks like it.

Mmm...May 2013 the last one?

Why there are not 12 circles? What about Shizuka?

>>3236
I'm hoping that Bandai improves these a bit more, especially the faces. The first AGP series figure will be released this month, so hopefully we'll get an idea of what the others will be like.

>>3242
Despite anyone not having seen the movie.. Is Shizuka a member of the 501st?

You guys think we'll start seeing the production of SW figmas ramped up now that Bandai appears to be making their own SW figures?

Question inspired by this comment from an /a/non:

"While "Max Factory" and "prompt execution" are a hilarious combination of words to put into a sentence together, they're not to be underestimated when they get a bug up their ass about something.

Just look at what they did to Mobip when they started doing posable K-ONs, for example.

Or how quickly they pumped out the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight figmas when they were rushing to get them all done before Bandai retaliated with Ryuuki Figuarts (that ended up resulting in 13 releases between February and May last year, with 6 of them in May alone).

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the production schedules for the SW figmas mysteriously accelerated in the near future."

>>3248
Well, Bandai's SW figures are a part of their Musumecha line which is a part of AGP, so Bandai probably won't be releasing the witches very quickly with so many other characters queued for modeling.

I sure wouldn't mind if Max Factory did crank them out faster though.. I just hope Mio's in the pipeline somewhere.

>>3246

Yep, offially, Shizuka is the member # 12 of the 501

Figma Eila with Sanya

>>3348

Sanya and Eila in the same pack?

>>3351
Unfortunately not. Sanya Figma is due to be released in July with Eila coming the next month.

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-MOE-5754&page=top

It's out! I don't know about you guys, but I'm preordering with the force of five thousand suns.

wait wait WAIT

....so you guys are saying Hanna's familar isn't a coyote?

>>3486

Are you serious?

>>3486
Here's the pic of Hanna with her Stellar Sea Eagle familiar.

Scans with a colored Hanna.

Yesterday we get the BD/DVD release date (10/26) and today we have new photos of Volks Hanna! Preorders start 7/14 (proxy required).

http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/strikewitches/marseille.html/

>>3726
Guess I gotta learn how to use a proxy, that Hanna looks better then the Alter one

>>3756
Why would they make foreigners have to use a proxy? Do they not want extra sales?

>>3769
because us MERIKANS bombed them years ago and this is payback?

>>3756
Buy from a proxy such as MioBoutique, BiginJapan, or Tokyo-Hunter; the process involves nothing more adding an item to your cart and checking out.

>>3773
Americans only? So I guess if I'm of other nationality, say a German, I could buy myself one?

>>3776

I seriously doubt that.

Trude Nendo now up for preorder.

>>3800
Ordered. Yay first nendo~
(technically second though I guess, ships a month after Marika.)

>>3800
Preordering 'Trude as well.

She looks cute as fuck.

I am also preordering Trude. I her to keep shirley company

>>3814
She'll be joining Shirley, Lynette, and hopefully (as she is supposed to be on the way as I speak) Francesca where I'm at.

Still missing Yoshika though (sorry Lynne)... ;_;

>>3815

I'm not missing Yoshika, I just don't have her. Lynne on the other hand.....

>>3816
What's this I see? Why, it's a Lynne nendo!

http://www.animecornerstore.com/stwilybibnea.html

Site looks like shit but it is legit as fuck. I ordered the witch plushies they had and got some other shit from there too. They're in that buyfag wiki as well so they're definitely not sketchy.

Hanna is looking great!

>>3863

DAT ASS
AWESOME

>>3885
Just finnished ordering it, anybody have any remote idea when it's to be released?

>>3972
This winter. Could be delayed like the others were though.

http://www.moeyo.com/2012/07/figure_volks_strike-witches_hanna_sample.html

http://akibahobby.net/2012/07/volks_marseille_sample.html

Hanna's looking good.

Japan, Please make this a mass product that could also be exported outside your country!

Here's a scan of Alter's Sanya - Rocket Booster ver.

501st AGP

>>4000
Better one, now with painted Erica in the corner.

>>4004
And more Erica (this one is apparently a mass-produced resin kit; it will still require detail painting)

>>4005
And MORE Erica.
>2013

>>4000
>>4005
>>4006
>>3975
My wallet can't take firepower of this magnitude.

>>4002
Fucking Bandai, do you want me poor or something?

>>4012
>mfw all the figures in this thread slated for release

I doubt I have the dosh for all of them. With the AGP ones they'll take ages to release the whole set at least. Hopefully.

>>4023

this is why i only buy perrine figs. except nendos. those are going to be my collection

>>4029
>>4029
It's a trap. It's a fucking trap. First you start with one figure. Say, a Minna figure for example.

Once you get her (or any other witch) you just can't stop there. You have to get the other 10. You must collect them all, for completeness's sake, for sanity's sake. To keep that tiny voice saying "YOU GOTTA GET THE WHOLE 501ST NIGGA!" from spouting its demoralizing blather.

Any witch figure from any line is a trap. You can't stop at one or two. You have to collect them all. I have gotten three alter figures, three nendoroids (have 'trude preordered), the AGP figures that are up for preorder i've preordered, and a figma (with two on the way), not to mention several of the plushies as well.

It's the Collector's Disease exacerbated by the slippery slope of buyfagging.

The companies know how to get us to throw buckets of money at them.

On the bright side, my room is full of witches. That outweighs the lack of cash. That and the collectibility of the merch too.

>>4030

I have 3 perrine figs and 2 nendos (plus 3 plushies and the plushie perrine christmas
ornament thing.)

I figure now i have to get the bandai perrine and if i can ever afford it, the konami original.

....plus any other perrines that may come out

>>4030
It's up to you on what you REALLY WANT to buy and how assertive you are in imposing self control.

As for me, I'm sticking to Alter specifically their Sanya & Eila. Then maybe a Heidimarie, Helma, Aleksandra, Georgette and perhaps Carla Luksic, if they're ever made, then no more. I'm not also out to get each version of a given character. Let's say I got a Rocket Sanya, I'd no longer look for the earlier version and so fort..

Most of the figure companies making Strike Witches suck at Striker units anyway. So when the Striker Unit looks nothing like what it's supposed to be, I don't give a damn about it.

>>4034
Yeah, I was really glad to see they're reissuing eila and doing another Sanya figure.

The prices ive seen for their current Sanya figure are absolutely insane.

Now if they'll just get to reissuing others and get to making
more witches from other squadrons in addition to those of the 501st.

As an aside, it would be cool to see some tank witch figures in the future as well, I'd buy em.

>>4035
Some tank witches similar to these would be great!

>>4043
I'd definitely like to see one for Miles.

It'd be expensive as fuck but Charlotte with her Tiger would pretty badass too.

Alter Erica

>>4094
..with Perrine and Lucchini still in the works.

>>4095
from what I can tell, they have 'em all in the works right now i think.

>>4096
You're right, but they haven't had an update on Perrine, Lucchini, or Lynne for a year.

>>4099
It's Alter, they take their time with products.

>>4107
No complaints out of me; that gives me time to save up for their stuff.

Alter Erica is up; Eila is also up for rerelease.

Nendo Erica is up for preorder

>>4182

welp, looks like I'm gonna be broke again

>>4186
On the bright side, you'll have Erica gracing your room with her presence. And not to mention being a lazy bitch. Err, I mean witch.

>>4190
But consider the consequences should you fail to hold the Siegfried Line.

>>4191
I JUST realized that she's got a large collection of booze at her table... I don't believe it was ever implied that she was a drunkard...

>>4195
Really? You see booze in Erica's room all the time, I remember seeing her room with booze in s1 too.

>>4196
Well, I like the two wine-glasses. At least that implies her and Trude drink together.

>>4191

I'm so 21st century. I saw the flat box wedged in atwixt the wine bottles and thought "Netbook."

>>4195

It was implied fairly heavily in S1E7, given the context of the situation. also, like, the
empty bottle errywhere

>>4197
Maybe she just likes to drink two at once?

That's actually more depressing than here being a regular drunk.

>>4215
What's wrong with drinking more at once? Twice the bubbly in the same amount of time! Besides, she's able to be combat effective even with a little liquid courage inside her. She can handle the liquor like the Scotch-Irish.

Sure is waiting for Hanna

>>4532
Yep. Where did you preorder from?

>>4542
I'm not the guy you're asking, but I ordered her and I don't even remember where I ordered from, just some place that would deliver it to me when it's released.

Speaking of, that's not till like, january of next year or something isn't it? I don't even remember, lol.

>>4562
Release is something like end of 2012 to early 2013, but you never know with Volks.

>>4563
Meanwhile, over at Alter: 2013/2 release, price TBA.

http://hobby.dengeki.com/20121006/7441-news/

>>4566
I would've gotten the Alter Hanna, but the Volks one just looks so much better in my opinion, it was worth the extra hassle of having to deal with proxies just to order it. The Alter one, eh. It looks nice, but not as nice as Volks's.

>>4542
http://www.tokyo-hunter.com/category/figures/pvc-figures/product/moecolle-plus-hanna-justina-marseille

Some 2 bit proxy site, I just hope I don't forget about her.

Alter Hanna preorder is up. 6980JPY from AmiAmi, not bad.

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-MOE-7495

looks like it is finally time for me to get an Alter figure

also it looks like they released a painted prototype of higer-than-the-sky sanya

http://hobby.dengeki.com/20130207/3039-news/#more-3039

Still waiting patiently for the Volks Hanna.

Sigh....

>>5517
Oh god yes after all this time it's finally here

>>5517
It's ok, I didn't want that ~7000yen anyway.

>>5521
Still still waiting for Volks.... Any year now...

I remember when it was supposed to be released early 2013...

Sigh.

We volks Hanna now

Volks Hanna will be DLC for Half Life 3
