Good Smile Company is bringing out another Nanoha figure! That’s all one needs to know. 
It has been awhile since I last got really excited over a figure. Good Smile Company released the better of the available (A’s) Nanoha figures out there. Alter’s was solid, but boring. Movic’s A’s figure was pretty, but bulky and had stupid hair. And Kotobukiya… well, let’s just say I would not spend money on that garbage. Movic’s StrikerS figure was not too bad, but had a mediocre face and was again, boring.
Good Smile’s A’s Nanoha figure was a solid build with quite an aggressive/active and exciting pose–one of my favorite figures. They are now bringing out a pretty good looking StrikerS Nanoha. From the promo shots, even I must admit it is not the greatest pose available, but still looks well sculpted. It is the only figure so far of Nanoha (or any character) not in a barrier jacket, so that is worthy of note. I personally prefered the look of the RF6 brown uniform, but her combat instructor outfit is fine too. The face looks pretty good in the shots, but with my experiences with Good Smile Company, it is hit or her miss once you get the actual figure. The one thing that bugs me about the figure is the base. Was the wine glass really necessary? I would not mind the base being flat against the floor like most sitting figures, but it does add some character to the look. Mid-Childa circle. Check. In the end there are too many positives about this figure, and it is definitely one I will pick up. It is already looking better than Movic’s commendable efforts.
With the announcement of this figure, my hopes for a Hayate figure have once again been renewed. I hope they got the memo that people really want one. I do anticipate a Fate figure before a Hayate figure, but you will get absolutely no complaints about that from me! Nanoha looks great, but I am more excited at the slim chance Good Smile Company continues these StrikerS figures and finally releases a figure of the elusive and coveted one, Yagami Hayate.
June, in the 4800-5500 yen range, 20 cm, 1/8.

This quote pretty much says it all. Love Nanoha, in my ‘get list’ already.
I hope it’s a sign for more StrikerS figs to come especially Hayate and most importantly (and my second favourite) Vita.
She looks really pretty and I like the base, although I don’t know why it goes high up like that. And yes, Hayate, Hayate! Actually, they should make everyone. XD
she is a definite want in my book, the best strikers nanoha yet, and hopefully they make a set and also make Hayate and Feito figures as well!
