Prisma Illya Nendoroid 1680 Illyasviel Von Einzbern

 

 Out of Fate series character, i didn't expect Illya would take long for her Nendoroid to get released despite she enjoyed relative popularity in the series. In any case the magical version of Illya is now available for preorder for February 2022 release schedule with 5000 Yen Price tag.

Personally i do enjoy Illyasviel character in original Fate series even wishing for her own route in FSN instead of Heaven's feel. However i stayed away from Prisma Illya due to its excessive underage yuri fanservice. I actually thought the Nendoroid would come with crazier expression for Illya but GSC version is relatively tame considering Illyasviel do have some silly moments in the Prisma Illya which even carried over during the FGO collab event. In FGO Illya is one of the rarer SSR Caster servant due which her banner only shown up like twice up until now. At any rate i think Chloe and Miyu had a good chance to follow up considering it take illya to open the floodgate for the Prillya fans

Majo no Tabitabi

  Some Fantasy Slice of life that i watched recently which i find to have interesting premise but had rather annoying main character. I was interested with Majo no Tabitabi when i read some articles about dark fantasy and this series to be mentioned. Overall the series is lighthearted most of the time as it tells about the story of a young witch traveling around the world but it do have some darker episodes where some of the sinister element kicks in such as the child serial killer. Personally i am not too fond of the main character Elaine since she is too selfish and immature for a person of her position. Considering Witches in the Majo no Tabitabi setting are position that wield significant influence in that world and Elaine probably will cause many misfits with her immaturity. Majo no Tabitabi selling point is the encounters that Elaine had throughout the journey because the magic system and everything else are rather shallow at the point of  the anime airing. At the current state Majo no Tabitabi is rather mediocre fantasy series but it still have some potentials to be tapped should the 2nd season popping around.

Arknights Nendoroid 1635 Kaltsit

 

 GSC is quite quick on this one, being shown in Arknights CN 2nd Anniversary broadcast, Nendoroid Kaltsit is now available for preorder. Scheduled for January 2022 release, Nendoroid Kaltsit will be sold for 6900 Yen. For its price tag which fall on the pricier side of Arknights Nendoroids, Kaltsit doesn't come with much accessories to justify the price and i don't think M0nster miniature figure worth extra over 1000 Yen cost. 

In Arknights, Kaltsit is a 6* Medic Operator who serves as the Top Executives of Rhodes Island who manages things behind the scene while Amiya serve as leader figure and Doktah handle missions deployment. By far Kaltsit is the only Medic Operator with summon gimmick in which she can deploy creature called M0nster as powerful melee unit. In the Storyline Kaltsit treated Doktah rather coldly due to Doktah's Pre-amnesia actions though she is popularly depicted as Doktah's ex-wife within the Fandom. Kaltsit will be available as recruitable operator at the end of this year in Global server which certainly match well with the release timing of the Nendoroid. As for myself, i will be still waiting for Nendoroid Doktah and Skadi to follow up since they were revealed at the same timing with Kaltsit.
