Whoa…these are really cool figures from Usavich, which is an animated short produced for MTV Japan by Kanaban Graphics. The Usavich anime revolves around two rabbits, Putin and Kierenenko and their adventures in a Soviet prison. Some episodes can be quite funny indeed. Do check it out if you haven’t already done so.
But what we’re going to be featuring today isn’t the anime but these very cool figures of Putin and Kierenenko from FREEing.
Putin and Kierenenko are both large figures, standing at approximately 40cm (16″), and the best thing about these figures: they dance! Yup, they dance..just like in the beginning of each episode where it always starts off with Putin dancing on the bed accompanied by that wacky music in the background. In the case of these figures, Purin will be swinging his hips to the music while Kirenenko will be cleaning his shoes - both to the familiar background music from the show. Absolutely fantastic!
Both figures are available in December for about 12,000 YEN ($120) each. These 2 clowns are absolutely must-haves for me. Will these be in your buy-list as well? And are you a fan of the animated short?

This adorable figure from Kotobukiya is apparently called Kobato from the manga of the same name. The manga was initially featured in CLAMP magazine. Although I haven’t the slightest clue about Kobato but I do like what I see on this figure. Very vibrant colors and the umbrella and cage-like thingy complements the figure nicely.
Kobato will debut in December and pre-orders are available at most retailers now.

This is Wave’s representation of Aisaka Taiga from the Toradora anime. I’m absolutely digging the pose and expression on the figure since it has a very playful expression to it. And based on the scans from the Hobby Japan magazine, she will come with multiple facial expressions, but the smiling one seems like the better of the two. The other neutral expression just seems too generic to me.
By the way if you haven’t already done so, do check out the Toradora anime as it’s a nice little romantic comedy.

This beauty here is Uplark’s 1/7-Scale Birdy Cephon Altera from Tetsuwan Birdy The Mighty Decode. This is a really nice Birdy sculpt, and I think it’s quite rare to come across Birdy figures, so Uplark should be commended for releasing this. The pose and expression of Birdy has a very upbeat feel to it and she will be available from September for 8,190 YEN ($80).

Uplark looks like they’re on a roll. This fantabulous figure of Rei Ayanami with Entry Plug Interior is amazing don’t you think? Scheduled for a release before the end of the year for about 12,800 YEN (US$140). It’s by no means a cheap figure, but the price reflects the size of the entire piece, as the entry plug is 33 cm (13-inches) long. This would really stand out if displayed alonside other PVC figures. Definitely a must-have for me!

Here’s another PVC Figure from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. There has been close to about a gazillion different Yoko figures out now, but if I’m not mistaken this is the first figure of Viral. Viral is one of the villains in the anime. Oh well, at least now we know ugly villains with a mix of shark and cat DNA will not get as much PVC love as a skimpily-dressed sniper sporting a huge-ass rifle. In any case, this first attempt by Uplark at this formidable villain looks like a good one based on pictures of the finished product. Viral should be available sometime on September 2009 for a price of about $90.

Seems like there’ll be a few Ryomou Shimei PVC Figures scheduled for release between now and the end of the year. This one here is by Alter, the maker of fine PVC Figures. The pose seems to be a little less sexually suggestive than what we’re used to seeing on Ikkitousen figures. But that’s to be expected, since Ikkitousen is a bit of an ecchi anime with tonnes of fan service. But although this figure isn’t as revealing as most Ikkitousen figures from the past, I still do like it alot overall. The paintjob seems excellent, which is pretty much expected of most Alter figures anyway. And finally, this vixen will retail for about 7,140YEN (about $75) and is scheduled for a November 2009 release. I have a feeling this should be a good seller for Alter.

Alter has yet another winner in this 1/8-Scale Yoko Littner - Bounty Hunter of Mystery PVC Figure. Yoko is the sexy sniper gun-totting character from 2007’s hit anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. IMHO, this has got to be the best looking Yoko figure so far, and that’s saying alot since there’s already been quite a few outstanding Yoko figures out there.
And below are some smokin’ hot Yoko cosplayers. I guess we’ll have to agree that no matter if it’s real-life or 1/8 plastic, you just can’t go wrong with Yoko. Wish it’s my gun she’s holding instead.

Here’s a nice one from SDCC 09 if you’re a fan of Kaiyodo’s Revoltech line of ultra poseable action figures. Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura from Sengoku Basara will presumably be released sometime later in the year under Kaiyodo Revoltech’s Yamaguchi line.
