New figures/models

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Just browsing through some Chara Hobby photos and found some pics of new figures (Viletta and Kallen) and models (royal coating versions).

Ya know, I love models (eg. Gunpla) but the Code Geass ones are so TINY!!! Last year in Japan I was planning on buying the Lancelot model... until I saw a built one on display. TINY I say!! Anyone else think they should come out with models that when built are about the size of a 1/100 Gundam? =.\

The royal coating versions are very shiny but again, the size. .x_x I refuse to pay ~$35 for a tiny model like that. For that price I'd expect a Master Grade-level model!!

Viletta > Kallen so hard.

i bought the lancelot royal coating version 8D it doesn't look THAT small, but then i've never made one before D:

I assume it's the same size as the regular Lancelot? If that's the case then it only builds up to what, 5 inches or so? I like models that are 7-8 inches in height. .;_;

I have the Lancelot Air Cavelry model- I also don't think it's that small, but it's also the only mecha model I have. ^^; It was a gift, so I really can't complain anyway. (And I was actually more excited about the tiny flamboyant Zero model that was included...)

About how tall is it after you complete it?

Some specs:
Both Villetta and Kallen figurines from Bandai will be released in December 2008. They are 1/7 scale and 6,875 yen apiece.

Also, does anyone know anything about the Zero mask and Cheese-kun doll, which I assume were also displayed at Chara Hobby?

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Those were shown at last year's Chara Hobby too. Don't know about the mask, but I believe the Cheese kun plush is sold out.

Nice figures, even if they aren't my favorite characters. That mask is quite some, though no one bothers with the bend in the oval.
