Mr. Byrne, why not just go on eBay or order them directly from Hasbro's website?

Or, if Hasbro won't sell them on their site, Toys R Us' site?

For fans of the Gurren Lagann anime series (and those who missed out on the first version), Kaiyodo will be releasing another Fraulein Revoltech action figure of Yoko, as seen in the recent Gurren Lagann movie redo:

http://www.animate.co.jp/gurren_lagann/

The version shown in the link is supposedly the exclusive version, with the standard one missing a few things like Boota (the mole-pig on the scarf).  Differences between the previously released TV FR Yoko appear to be new interchangable faces, hair, weapons, and a bit more "top-heavy" in the chest department.

The standard version should be available soon for preorder from HobbyLink Japan or eventually Diamond Previews.

I agree. Vaguely reminiscent of some Japanese anime porn

Can't remember if this was posted already.

Eaglemoss Does Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

LINK to story. Not a Buffy fan,
but I thought since the Marvel and DC metal miniatures are big
on this forum, others might be interested in these.

Likenesses will be tough at that size, but if they get the physical attitudes
right, I'm there!

(Speaking of likenesses on a small scale, in my teens I bought the Revell
model kit of HMS Bounty, of mutiny fame. It included small figures of
the crew, including one that, even with a head the size of a grain of sand,
looked just like Clark Gable.)

I can see that one will be ending up in my home. On my wife's desk.
