Many of you probably awares that Kotobukiya will release various of Shining Wind characters this year. And their quality is very good, which is good news for us collectors, but bad news for our wallets. here is the list of bombs that kotobukiya is going to drop on your wallet. Hope your wallet still alive at the end.
1. Kureha:
This Kureha is already released on April. I won't get her because I have a Kureha by Max Factory already, and Max Factory one looks better. Probably would get this one if I didn't get the Kureha by Max Factory. By the way, is there a review compare on this two Kureha?

2. Elwing:
Elwing is scheduled to be out on June, and it is the first bomb that hits my wallet. I have already pre-ordered this on Hobby Search(the shipping fee is going to add some extra damage to my wallet).

Update: it is out! and the review is here.
3. Mao:
This figure will be out on July. I am not sure about getting her. Maybe after I read some review after it released.

4. Blanc Neige:
This is the second bomb I couldn't dodge. It will be released on September. I have pre-ordered Blanc Neige on Otaku Fuel. If you live in the US, I suggest you pre-order it for Kotobukiya US release version because it appears 10 dollars cheaper than the Japan released one. The only drawback is it will be out one or two months later, but I think you can wait. By the way, it is not only Blanc Neige, but others as well will be cheaper for the US release. I'm regret on my Elwing pre-order. ~_~

5. Clalaclan:
This new version of Clalaclan will also be released on September. This Clalaclan has the same pose as the previous one that was released last year. The only different (very obvious) is that she is in a black dress. I don't know about you, but I think the previous white dress is better. Does she wears this black dress in the anime or the game?

6. Xecty Ein:
This figure will also be re-released on June. As a elf, I think Elwing is hotter than her.

7. Seena Kanon:
Seena was released end of last year. I want to get her, but it is a bit hard to find it now. I think I just like girls with short hair like Yuki Nagato and Rei Ayanami (you can probably guess with all the yuki + rei posts lately).

Update: so I couldn't and got her ^^; check out my review here.
And here are other Shining Wind girls that I hope Kotobukiya will give them PVC treatment as well.
This version of Xecty looks cooler.

HoumeiSo is your wallet still alive? Mine is half death ^^; and with Figma series my wallet is pretty much empty.

Here's a post I read once that kind of compares the two figures:

Out of all of them I think I like the Seena one best, but as you mentioned it's hard to get. I'd definitely buy a Houmei figure if she ever comes out.
My wallet is going to die after all the figma figures I am going to order...

Also, Houmei is already on preorder listings for many places. Ryuna is in the works for a fall/winter release, news was from Shine na Blog some time ago.
Got Elwing, Blanc Neige and hoping to get Mao. Still cannot find MF's Kureha. Argh.
nice :)
morimoli,
thanks for the link. I think both have its good and bad; I still prefer the MF one.
James,
get them then ^^
panther,
is this the Houmei, LINK ,you are talking about? Because it is not by Kotobukiya, I didn't list it here.
