NIS America planning Disgaea 4 Premium and Super Premium editions

Well, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten is certainly getting the royal treatment when it comes to releases!

All you Taki fans out there can finally rejoice because Triad Toys will be releasing a 12 inch model of this vivacious Soul Calibur vixen on March 27, 2009. And she’s dressed appropriately enough to take home to mom.

Kotobukya redesigns website, makes it easier to oogle busts

Born as the entrepreneurial venture of Jusaburo Shimizu in 1947, Kotobukiya’s began as a single toy store for dolls. Now, Kotobukiya has developed itself to be one of the heavy-hitters when it comes to popular anime/video game/movie figures, busts, statues and model kits that include some big name licenses (Star Wars, Halo, Final Fantasy, Hulk, Dead or Alive and Indiana Jones to name just the tip of the iceberg). Always thriving for quality without exception, Kotobukiya is sharing the love with its English-speaking market by creating a website interface that is easier to navigate and feels very similar to…

Japanese Import: Knights of The Round FFVII figure

This is not as much a figure of a character as a glorious, physical recreation of a videogame attack. As weird as it sounds, many of the uber powerful Final Fantasy attacks summon creatures from other realms, resulting in glorious, colorful and often weird visuals. Part of the Master Creatures 2 collection by Kotobukiya, the more »
