I have been meaning to do a Nanoha related post for a while. In fact, I still have a draft of a post I was going to make about the Nanoha swimsuit figure released by GoodSmile Company saved. Maybe I’ll finally finish that one day, but today I would like to talk about two other figures. As many Nanoha fans know, Alter has been releasing StrikerS figures pretty regularly now. Well it looks like the new one up is the leading female herself Nanoha Takamachi in her Exceed Mode!
Scheduled for release this month, this figure features Nanoha wielding her device Raising Heart in its Excelion Mode along with four Blaster Bits (no doubt using Blaster 3) poised for firing either her Excelion Buster or Starlight Breaker EX attack. Certainly a lovely figure from these pre-release shots, but obviously going to need to make room on the shelf / in the display case for her.
You can see her Excelion Mode in action in these two videos.
Needless to say, its not a good idea to get on Nanoha’s bad side. Even a sweet girl has her limits =D. This figure is on my wishlist, but I won’t be preordering it this time around; so hopefully I can catch it on a release. But if you’re interested, there is still time to pre-order her. Just head over to Hobby Search or your favorite figure retailer and reserve her.
But Alter isn’t stopping there with our girl Nanoha. To help kick off the release of the first Nanoha movie, next January will see the release of Nanoha Takamachi – Stand By Ready. This time we step back to where it all started, when Nanoha was just a magical girl! Once again you may want to clear some room on the shelf / display case because this girl will need some room. And once again, Nanoha is taking flight; which makes me curious how Alter will be making the display stands for these two figures.
This figure is so kawaii that its certainly on my list. Certainly have time until its released, so I’m sure a pre-order will happen ^^. If you like your Nanoha’s in loli form, then again you can head over to Hobby Search or your favorite figure retailer and give them a couple of jars of honey to pre-order one for you. Just leave your pedobear outfit at home ^^
I just find it that both versions of Nanoha will be release so close to one another. Loli Nanoha is nice, but I like adult Nanoha because of her curves ^^; If you’re a fan of the Nanoha franchise than I would recommend getting one or both of these lovely figures. Considering I think Alter does a fantastic job on figures and past experience with the other StrikerS girls; I believe that fans won’t be disappointed in either version!
getting both of them, as well as the volks and the 1/8 alter one from A’s. also got the GSC A’s version… nanoha=love
