Simply impossible to resist… Time to bleed your wallets!
I was disappointed Nitro+Chiral didn’t release a full set of Yu-pon style Sweet Pool chibis… but along with this completely new set of the four main characters from Sweet Pool, we also get new Togainu no Chi Shiki and Akira, as well as Lamento chibis of three characters.
Titie: Nitro+ Chiral no Mori (ニトロプラス キラルの森)
Damage: 5,500 Yen (w/o tax)
These new generation Kotobukiya one-coin chibis still comes with an illustration card each. The new feature is that their heads are now removable and can be attached onto any of the chibis in the series.
There’s a secret character in the collection and our guess is that he is Yukihito, a new character introduced in the Togainu no Chi PS2 version. There’s also a special “Regalia(?)” version of Akira, where he wears a striped Y-shirt. Not exactly sure how it works… does that mean we need to buy more than one set to get the two versions of Akira?
Update Oct 2009: Ok, its confirmed. Each box will have only ONE version of Akira (You &%$# $$$ blood suckers!) so we have to buy more than 1 box to get both versions of Akira. Btw, a cute feature is that the oversized T-shirt can be removed to reveal a naked Akira… well, that does give us more incentive to buy another box at least… doesn’t it? Lol~
There’s also an Animate store-only exclusive of the Akira figure. Read post here. I’ll update when more information is released.
Thanks to Sigma for the heads-up about the chibi’s being sold on eBay! Don’t panic cos preorders are now open at CDJapan and HLJ and they’ll be released in November 2009 ^^

wow.0-0 atleast they stopped you from ordering from that seller.
the seller i ordered from had very good feedback an everything, also at the time i ordered their were only one of each figure up on ebay…it wasn’t until i noticed after i placed my order the seller put up alot….=_=;
i searched about the kuroshituji bootlegs after i received ceil. i read that it was sold at some place like a con/expo for over hundred dollers an only a set amount were sold there at event. soon after they came out of print. the company who made them never made reprints.
sigh if i had read that before buy i would have know right away that these were knock off figures. i just thought there were pvc like the nitro pvcs that were under hundred;.
They were listed cheap but the shipping made up for the product price. I still don’t think i payed much just a bit over because of that, but its okay. I’m kinda happy i ran into it cheap because i noticed lately that some sellers are now auctioning bootlegs as the real thing…i feel bad for the people paying so much for a fake. sense i own them i can now tell what the fake ones look like. also more different sellers are selling them to buy like the one i brought from.;
i received sebby yesterday an even though i know he was bootlegged too he came out looking really good to my surprise. paint job is still dull looking with scrathes but he doesn’t lean over like ceil. XD;
If from afar you could probably mistake it for the real thing but the standy hes standing on you can tell right away hes a fake. I should take pictures. Should warn others of the bootlegs…. X_X
lol my bad habit of collecting figs started with death note too when i got light nendoroid from friend. An then right after a miku figma. i was like *0* These are beautiful! I ordered my first figure being military shiki ^w^
(as he sits on router XD; I’m going to try my best to buy some shelfs so i can get him off it;)
I cant wait to receive sweet pool coin figures. Do you think they might make pvc like the others? I hope so…;n; *wants a big makoto eating figure*
Here is the recent odin sphere release of velvet an mercedes

They have a video clip from game but omg dub vocie are horrible Xx..(play the game in japanese is so much better, they even had chiba susumu in it playing as oswald~)
Here is the must have *been dieing for*
http://generationotaku.net/images/news/1108/gwen2.jpg
This is a figure thats worth that much moneys * * there already going out of print fast…
I cant wait to see figures of the guys now sense all the girl are made for. Hopfully an ingway one will come too.;w;
Remember to leave a bad rating for that bootleg ebay seller. Is it possible to lodge a complaint to both ebay and Square? If you paid with paypal maybe you can get your money back since you’re protected by the insurance policy? You can try to find out more about it. I think that seller thought there’s demand for the Seb & Ciel bootlegs so they decided to be greedier *_* I’ll be even more upset if I paid full price for a bootleg DX
The bad thing about ebay is that we can only see the product when we receive it. I’ve seen bootlegs for sale at a couple of legitimate-looking shops here. They were selling Nendoroid Haruhi and Misa Misa which were long out-of-print at half the price! My other cousin (figure newbie) couldn’t tell if they were bootlegs but one look at the package and the figure inside, I could tell the inferior quality straight away.
If something is sold out, they’ll only be available for sale again if the manufacturer decides to do a reissue. We can usually see that reissue information at the stores that are taking pre-orders. Nendoroid and Figma Miku is a good example. Kotobukiya’s out-of-print Sengoku Basara PVCs (those with voice keke, not the chibis) were also reissued after the anime was aired.
Yeah, I think it’ll be helpful to take pics of these bootlegs and warn other figure collectors. Akiyama’s friend bought a bootleg once (at a very cheap price) and placed it by the window. It melted into a distorted pulp cos of heat from the sun ^^;;; We’re not sure if the bad PVC quality was the main reason it melted so easily.
Anyway, I waited more than 6 months for Death Note’s L and Light Real Action Heroes reissue to arrive *_* and in between those 6 months, I ordered many more stuff ^^;;; The obsession got worse as I tried to catch up with lost time. Seeking out-of-print figures like Togainu/Lamento chibis, CLAMP figures, etc. It was a terrible time for my bank account XD
Wah~ I think a big Makoto chibi with the hamburger would be so cute! Mmm so far they only released big sized Togainu chibis of Akira, Shiki and Arubitro… and no Lamento ones. I wonder :O
Ooo~ those odin sphere PVCs looks very pretty and delicate :D Hope your wish comes true! Write in to the manufacturer and DEMAND that they make the boys too! XD
omg it melted 0-o wow *keeps away from the sun*
yea they might not make sweet pool pvcs…;o;
hope you had a good 4th of july! ^^
Sun and heat! Better safe than sorry! :P
Oo~ you too!
