News: Tamashii Nation announced SH Figuarts TIGER & BUNNY - H-01

Tamashii Nation is celebrating their 5th anniversary this year and there will be an event held at Akihabara, Tokyo. But I am not going to blog about the event now. I am more interested in one of the items that is announced.

It looks familiar? Yes indeed. It looks similar to the Wild Tiger which I have blogged here. But this is a different character. Notice the color, instead of Wild Tiger's green color, this is reddish pink, more like the color of Barnaby's suit. In the anime, this was created by Maverick, the villain in the series in order to replace Wild Tiger who he thinks him of a threat. Hence Maverick erased everyone's memory of Wild Tiger and created this H-01, aka the fake Wild Tiger to accuse Wild Tiger of murderer.... Ok, it is not necessary for you to understand if you don't watch this show, just know him as a fake Wild Tiger or H-01, haha.

There has been several releases on Wild Tiger from Tiger and Bunny recently. And due to my busy schedules, I have not post anything on Wild Tiger yet. So here I am, trying to catch up!

First of all, this 12" Wild Tiger in his battle suit produced by Bandai has been announced with their official images and ready for POing! It was actually posted here when news of the 12" series was announced.

Size: Appx 310mm (1/6 scale)

Contents:
- Main figure
- Optional hand parts x left, right each 5 types
- Optional face part (open face)

Personally, I feel that there is not much differences between the 12" and 6" Wild Tiger figure. But I really liked the light up effects on the 12" Perfect Model. According to source, it should be available in Dec 12.

News: Bandai released new series - Figure-Rise 6 Tiger & Bunny

When I first saw this, I thought they were either the earlier release from Tamashii or the 1/8 MG Figure-Rise. Until someone mentioned that these are a new series line released by Bandai. You can't blame me because it all looks the same... Except the price... (If you know what I mean)

Bandai has release 3 items under this new line at one go:

Wild Tiger
Barnaby
Double Chaser

And if only they can release these earlier, I wouldn't have to spend so much on the Tamashii line... (sob)

Anyway you guys better act fast if you want a piece of these, they are selling out fast now!
