Wave 14 - Eagle and Lynx

[Pyaamon]

I reckon they would be normal releases as we're seeing them together, and with a release date in a general purpose magazine. Altines wasn't even revealed when we knew what Altrene was going to look like - with some proper production shots.

Special editions are either ones already released (Ach and Yda's Dengeki versions, Altines as the recolour of Altrenes, the updated MKIIs of Arnval and Strarf) or in-game only designs, say Mizuki and Fubuki. What we've got here are prototypes that are in the flesh and not computer models, and with some paintwork!

I think these are normal releases. I'm also starting to wonder if they are all full sized shinkis, as opposed to light armours...

In my mind Raptias is still a dinosaur :3

[Lockdown72]

Does anyone know if these will be normal releases (non-exclusive) ? It'd be depressing if they were another limited-availability, hard to get, way too expensive deal. The way Arnval/Strarf Mk II and Altines got my hopes up had me thinking of looking into Figma's instead. I know its early ... but sometimes it feels like the prices are getting out of control here.

I will kill people if Artille is not general release material, plus Konami has NO EXCUSE for not releasing her in wide market.

[Xehn]

We said that about the MkIIs, too, and look what happened. Sigh.

[Radioactive Ravage]

Artille shall be mine.

[star]

ok, they are very bright, the pink one is for sure the eagle, her helmit is shappen like a crest and beak the blue is for sure the cat, her helmet is shappen like a cat mouth, i hope it closes like gabriene, i like them both but the pink one is way to pink and stuff for me, shed be in for a brown and white repaint if i got her, but hte blue one is amazing in all she does so i gotta have her

[Xehn]

Actually, Star, the pink is the cat and the blue is the eagle.

[Pyaamon]

We said that about the MkIIs, too, and look what happened. Sigh.

Ahhh but we didn't see prototypes, did we? I refuse to believe they're going to start releasing shinkis as konami-style only options. That would mean they want the western market gone, and I don't think they could ever be that mean. Maybe. Hmm.

[Ninth]

They kinda remind me of Lancamento and Espadia. I like the looks of Artille's artillery, but I'm not a big fan of pastels.

[Sonja]

Crap, again I want them both, although I'm kind of torn on the pink.

Regarding the Light Armor thing, they do look a bit light in pieces compared to the releases we've gotten lately, so maybe that's why? They look somewhere between full and light to me, so I wonder how they'll be priced.

[star]

hmm. pinkys helmet still looks more like an eagle head to me, the crest throughs me off.....and the blue helmet has fangs on it, or so it appears, this greatly confuses me, and why get rid of thhe western market, we are alot of their bussiness, i think that what they are doing is putting out these special girls is to get people all psyched up and spending money on them quicker, they do make more money at once with the limited time thing, and the proxy services must love them for this to because they also profit, not to mention the price is the same in japan and hee on the general figure, not includiing shipping, and they probably only ship in japan to save time and its easier than all the things involved to ship over seas, then not as many packages are lost in the mail and less people complain they never got it, just a thought of mine though
