Griffon’s New Figures – WonderFes 2012
So far, these look good. Surprised to see Miko so soon...
Bad… Apple…?
There is something about this shirt I really dislike.
I do like the black with the colours and squares. I think Reimu looks bitchin.
However, if you are going to call this shirt 'Bad Apple!!', I think you should actually watch the video. First, I think it's quite obvious that there is no colour in the video. I think it would pay more homage if it was in true monochrome. Second, Cirno? I don't know if it's just me... but was Cirno in Bad Apple? She wasn't in LLS nor was she in the video... so why is she there?? Wouldn't it make more sense to put the three main heroines? Something like Sakuya or Sanae... but Cirno? I think that's a pretty sell out move. Third, I think the shirt would be more effective with more squares like a 3x3. Since the video showcases a majority of the characters from 6-10, I would think it appropriate to have more (or at least get rid of Cirno). And maybe have them in sequence with the video? Reimu doesn't hold her staff, she holds and apple. Marisa rides her broom etc and Cirno... well I can't say much because she wasn't in the video. Not a single reference. This shirt is a terrible representation of the original Bad Apple video and has no connection with it other than Reimu and Marisa.
This is me just being picky.

Kotobukiya Re-release – Reimu & Marisa
For those who missed the first round, AmiAmi has re-released Reimu and Marisa. The release date is scheduled for Feb 2012. Highly recommended. Kotobukiya has some of the highest quality figures I've seen. Even buying these second hand is pretty difficult, so I wouldn't trust used places like Mandarake for this kind of thing.

Yukari, Sakuya, Patchouli by Ques Q
Just some old news about the Ques Q Touhou Project line. A while ago, Ques Q announced their next figure being Yukari Yakumo. No figure image has been released since. Just recently, pre-orders opened for Sakuya and Patchouli by Ques Q.
Byakuren Hijiri Prototype + Upcoming by Griffon
Griffon has released their prototype of Byakuren that they announced a little while ago. So far, Griffon seems to be on schedule again. Utsuho is up, the rest of the SA crew is done and up for pre-order. Griffon has also announced plenty of new projects coming up. Hopefully, they'll keep up. Though, there will probably be some surprise figures in between, especially since they're announcing 7 new Touhou Project figures (like Nitori, PCB!Sakuya and Nue that had no real initial announcement).
Remilia (from Curiosities of Lotus Asia), Cirno, Hina, Mystia, Medicine, Nazrin, Byakuren and Shou.
Nendoroid Generation – Featuring Reimu, Marisa and Remilia
Namco-Bandai is releasing a game featuring GSC nendoroids! Oh, so cute~
Not much to say about this, but, thought I'd post.

Utsuho Prototype by Griffon
And after how many months and other Touhou related figures, a prototype of Utsuho has finally been released! The prototype doesn't do her justice and depending on the paint job will make or break this figure. I'm interested on how they're going to do the space/stars/sky background in her cape. There haven't been many Touhou figures by Griffon that has patterns in the clothing. The closest would be Orin's dress and Sanae's attire (even though it's a very sparse pattern). Maybe it's just, but I find that Utsuho looks... short. I feel like she needs to be a little taller. The details in the wings and her atom look very promising.
